Slight Problem

[JayBernard]

Just like to say brilliant mod and have been enjoying myself playing it but i have a slight problem. In battles the flags above units heads are not visible meaning i can not see if people are routing unless i hover over them. It a small problem but i was wondering if its intended or there a fix?

Thanks

Go into your M2TW directory (just M2TW) and find the file called "medieval2.preferences" Scroll down to the video subsection, and find show banners=. the value here is 1 for banners on, or 0 for banners off.
If you cant view this file you may need to
a) show hidden files
b) unpack the game files- for the unpacker type M2TW unpacker into google, and click on the TWC link

hello and thanks for the quick reply.

I have found the file you described however when i open it there are only 2 sections "Video" and "Game" each with a sub section saying widescreen=1 and allusers=1 respectively. I tried to add banners=1 myself but it says access is denied.

I am not sure how this has happened

If you're running windows vista or 7, you need to turn off user account control off- which is a windows thing. You do not want to add any lines... nonono. Have you checked if all files are unhiden? (options in explorer). Finally, You may need to unpack the files if all else fails...

hello again and thanks for the reply.

I was able to fix this error through a strange method. I had saw people saying that installing the hundred years mod fixes this and banners return. I installed it and the banners returned i was quite confused but nevertheless the game is playable lol.
