IB2 Vandalorvm II Campaign Install Issues/Questions/Bugs

[Gigantus]

When I try to install it the directory can't be changed, and is always C/Program Files/My Product. Is this supposed to happen?

This means your registry entry for M2TW is not correct or different (happens with a 64bit system).
Use the provided path to install and then move (cut and paste) the mod into the C:\...\Medieval II Total War\mods folder. Adjust the desktop shortcuts accordingly or create new ones by right clicking on the files and sending them to the desktop.

Can something be done with javelin, plumbata release timing for the infantry troops (comitatenses, palatina, milites). It takes awfully long time for those guys to empty their missile weapons, even longer then the archers (sagitarri graves) which is weird if u consider how many arrows archers carry comparing to just few javelins.

I think thats the stat_fire_delay instruction from the units file. we have them at 0 but as in rtw-bi possibly they can be adjusted

I'll mess around a little and see what i can do.

Great

Also add this unit file for any one else. It will differentiate your Roman units from Gallic, Italian etc thus making it easier to train them

IB2\data\text\export_units

Make sure to delete any compatible files

I downloaded repeatedly and get the error above. The Romano-Britain campaign is great, so I'd like to see this.

I have a great problem. I can't choose the directory where to install it. It installs only to C: drive, while my M2tw is on E: drive. It is there: C:\My Products. Why? I have windows 7. How can I change the following directory?!

[Reno Melitensis]

Just move the IB folder to where your MTW II main folder is insatalled, delete the shortcut created by the insataller on your desktop, then create an other shortcut by wright clicking on the Executable batch file and selecting create deskstop shortcut.

Cheers

You probably installed into the wrong folder. That can happen with a 64 bit system or when the registry entry for M2TW directory path is corrupted.

I downloaded and installed 1.2.01 to C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War.. and ran the game no problem.

then i installed INVASIO BARBARORVM 2: AFRICA VANDALORVM II to C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II
and when i click the exe/bat file to run the game it crashes on startup screen.. i see the Invasio Barbaror title screen then crashes to desktop, no error message or anything.

i did not change anything on installation and just simply let the installer direct the install to the proper directory, C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War..

I have many other mods installed and running properly and the 1.2.01 version of this mod worked just fine.

I can not think what the issue would be as i am sure i installed to the proper directory. Perhaps the Megaupload download is bad or something...i dunno

Any help would be appreciated

[Gigantus]

Maybe a virtual store issue due to names. Try this and then re-install.

[Macrath]

k..i had the entire UAC disabled..perhaps i need to try another method

Thank you good sir you are a gentleman and a scholar. Method 3 of your tutorial was very helpful and got everything working just fine.

Gigantus- TWC MVM(most valuable modder)

As much as I like to receive credit (I'll have some for getting you to use it) - the tutorial is from Signifer One.

I have the same error as XFat and LazyX and Patricius, namely

IB2 - Version 1.2 has not been totally installed because of the following reason:

File corrupt or unreadable:
mods\IB2\data\ui\northern_european\eventpics\UNUSED\CAMPAIGN_DEFEAT.TGA

You will have to run this utility again to completely install IB2 - Version 1.2.

EDIT: This may be due to one of the downloads being corrupt. Supposedly the links at http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=415206 work. Trying now.

Working for you?

I have a question, here recently i was fighting a battle against the Visigoths and i noticed that just about all of their melee infantry has the skirmish ability. was this intentional?

Oh, and why aren't the Ostrogoths playable in the campaign?

[Reno Melitensis]

The Ostroghoti are an emergent faction, at the begining of the mod they are vassals to the Hunni, wait until they rebel and unleash their army on the western world.

Cheers.

I think we will have them playable with the next upgrade

[Cincinatus]

Burgundians at least, have the ability to recruit boats with no dock. This means you would never see the unit on the campaign map.
