IB2 Vandalorvm II Campaign Install Issues/Questions/Bugs

[Gigantus]

The installer looks for the registry entry of Med2. It looks somehow like in my pic. If you have moved your installation without changing the registry entry, then that's where the error came from. Judging by your pic, the registry entry is missing and the default path was used.
Even then you shouldn't have any problems if you moved the installation into the right folder of your med2 installation.
The registry entry is for people that prefer to use the launcher, it will not affect your game play.
The green arrow is a land bridge (remember the Bosporus in vanilla?), not a regular bridge.

Thanks,seems to be working fine been playing it a bit this afternoon while I have a day off hehe. I never noticed before but my programs files do not allow a tree as in your screenshot if I doubleclick on the Sega folder it shows the MTW2 folder.Wonder if I have a setting off I need to change? EDIT NM lol thats a regedit screen wonder why it didn't find the folder? Was a digital download so maybe that has somethoing to do with it.

[Gigantus]

Maybe run a search in the registry for "SEGA" or "Medieval" - that might show up the key.

Yeah my registry entry doesn't look like that I bought it from Direct2Drive that's probably why. Anyway it works fine so I'm not going to mess with it,funny thing is though I downloaded Chiv2 and it installed fine in the MTW mod folder. Cool game been playing a vanilla campaign as Sicily to get used to it and really getting to like it. Good Luck with this looking forward to the next release!

95% of mod installers are preset to the default installation path of med2 and do not use the registry entry.

Hi,
I downloaded the three parts of the mod but during installation I'm getting error message at 38%.
I notice other peoples had this problem too before. Maybe mediafire corrupts uploaded files after certain period of time? Virus?
I would be gratefull to point other source of this mod.

Thank you in advance

Did you download it again and try again?
If not just do so, a download can always be corrupted, but need not be the next try.

[Matrix33]

I tried three times. Still problem at 38% of installation progress.

[Aethelstan]

Sorry, wondering whats on here, cause that up- and/or download problem was solved.
Anyone else having probs or did it work? Please report if you downloaded shortly ago.

[Matrix33]

I downloaded the installer yesterday night once again. This time I did it using IE instead of Firefox. And it worked! I'm puzzled how it could have any influence. But what matters is the final result.
Sorry for some troubles i caused by my post. And thans for any attempt to help.

[Aethelstan]

Fine that it worked now - have fun.
I wouldnt blame firefox though, more likely your connection or the file-hoster.

I downloaded the installer yesterday night, but I'm getting error message at 38% too.
what's wrong?

[junan2006]

I have downloaded the first file (.exe) again. I install it and it worked! thank you!!!!!

[mr.playa]

from where i can run the mod there is no icon for it

i have installed the mod with the patch

[Gigantus]

there should be a short cut on the desktop called "IB 2". If for some reason it is not, browse to the executable.BAT file here: ...\Medieval II Total War\mods\IB2, right click the file and choose "send to\desktop (create short cut). This will create a shortcut for the mod. You can now change the name of the short cut (right click\properties) if you wish and change the icon as well.

[mr.playa]

what bat file you mean the IB2 Registry

[Gigantus]

Have a look at the pic.

Hello friends ... this mod the truth has made me a bit impressed ... it has an IMPRESSIVE realism ... the Roman units, suevii and visigotii are of very successful though I emphasize a bit the repetitive thing in some of the troops suevii or visigotii ...

Nonetheless it is a very well elaborated mod, my question was going towards riothamus or to Ramon: there will be more Roman different units in the consecutive editions?

In my humble opinion they might put on more Roman units (please not to repeat those of Somnio Apostatae Iuliani ... this way we can handle different troops)
The number of troops will increase comitatenses, palatinae and it helps for the whole west in the Africa Vandalorum??
And especially I would like to know:
Because there is no a unit of legio palatinae not in hispania and in the prefecture of the Iliricum? Serious good to place at least one in the Ilirico....
Thanks!

welcome to the forum, Sthilico. As a team member I can answer part of your question. Th rest I will leave for Riothamus. There are more roman units available in the campaign part of the game than what you see in the custom battles. For Ex.

the comitatensis available units --

Comitatensis African
Comitatensis Italian
Comitatensis Gallic
Comitatensis Hispania
Comitatensis Pannonia

of these only the italian troops are available in custom battles. The rest are available in the campaign thru AOR, specific areas of recruitment. I know this for a fact because I am currently working on these units for ATW conquestus. I hope this answers part of your question.

Hi Sthilico,
We thank you ..
Yes Ramon should be applauded for setting up the mod as such. I know he got some good advice from those such as Razor, Julianus, Mylae, Joar and possibly a few more developers from IB1 RTW-BI. I came on to further help shape the historical situation(Faction Locations, new type buildings etc..) and took over the leadership role after Ramon left and midnite brilliantly took over the role of further creating our units.

-In regards to you question, I'm not exactly sure what your question asks? You would like to see more units(unit types especially in Hispania and in Illyricum as the units are set up in Gaul and Germania?.. With the legio palatinae ? We are going to re visit the mod and make further changes and additions. Anything you want to add before we do please do so
