[Guide]Welcome to Stainless Steel: General Information

[bɑne]

While trying to access the hyperlink to the SS 6.1 FAQ, I was prompted for a password and cannot get to the FAQ. If this is the case, could you please provide the password? And if not, venture a guess at why I cannot access the link? Thanks.

The SS 6.1 FAQ is now in the 6.1 release topic. Second post. I'll modify the link in a second. Edit: Done.

The 6.2 link isnt working and i cant seem to find it by searching.

Tried 6.3 but wasnt keen on it and cant remember if i played 6.1 or 6.2 before so was looking for the 6.2 changes.

The first link doesn't work but the second one

does and I recommend checking out the Stainless Steel 6.X Install Guide on that topic as well.

Aye thx, tho was looking for the original 6.2 rather than the patched rc4, but oh well.

6.2 is the original... RC4 stands for release candidate 4 of the 6.2 patch.
The RR/RC version (which I think you are thinking of) is a submod compilation.

Ahh i was remembering wrong.

I thought there was an earlier version of 6.2 which allowed forts to be built , but i must have editied RC4 to allow forts. Wasnt a RR/RC version as im dont like that mod

Thx

Hmm, what im remembering was the first release version of 6.2, before the rc4 patch. I think.

That was never listed in this topic and I'm fairly certain that gracul removed the links when he updated his 6.2 release post to RC4. Why would you want to go back to a early release version anyways?

Could have sworn there was one as RC4 disables the option to build forts while the original 6.2 allowed them.

Wasnt a RR/RC version as i dont like those.

Maybe im remembering wrong and it was 6.1 afterall. Huh.

If thats the problem then there are plenty of 6.2 related posts you can search for on how to reenable forts.

Can't build forts - what should I do?

I feel terribly stupid for asking this, but what was the last version of SS to be for vanilla? The sad thing is I used to be a regular here but played myself out.

Also, if I only have disc 2 of Kingdoms (I honestly have no idea where disc 1 is though I think some computer guys stole it when I had to get it fixed) would I still be able to play it?

And if its possible, how could I possibly make it use only M2TW discs to play the later versions? I highly doubt that is possible (well easily possible).

welcome back Henry X....

Hang on a sec and let me get some folks in the Know in here....

Heres a link to old versions of SS: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=383005

Man, I recently reinstalled m2tw and accidentally left disc 2 in there. Wouldn't let me play it without disc 1 in the drive. I dont know if there is a way around it though.

SS v4.1 was for vanilla, later versions were kingdoms based.
You can without installing kingdoms. Put the disc 2 and run the setup then uncheck every campaign and the patch v1.4 will be applied after that simply copy\move the kingdoms.exe from disc 2 having Teutonic campaign i believe to your main installation folder.

[Henry X]

Damn! That was quick!

Ah so its 4.0 that I'll probably be playing then. I might have to go out and buy Kingdoms again.

Regardless, does 4.0 stand up to the test of time? Guess I'll find out anyway...

And rep for both of you.

EDIT: didn't notice last post (was typing). Thanks also.

Yep yep...The best forum staff in the business....*






*actually all the mod forums here are filled with very nice & helpful folks...

Finally got it installed (well not Kingdoms; doing what Ishan said there). So I'm downloading and just to get this straight, I add the kingdoms.exe from the disc 2 teutonic/main ?

Yes. Personally I`d just install one campaign and then delete it if the space is needed.

[Henry X]

Well it seems to work, except for an odd CTD I kept getting early on into my HRE campaign. Tried to start a defensive siege battle and the game would CTD during the loading screen.
