[Ruda_STR]

thx 4 help

[worldsdead]

i'm not trying to be a pain in the ass. and yes i can use search function, lol. but before i download 6.3 i've read you can choose your cai (awesome) would it be possible for someone with the intricate knoweledge on these cai's to begin a thread that compares them, bullets points, or something in one spot. especially as how they relate to new ss. i would appreciate it, and it would probaly clear out alot of repeat questions. (then again some scmucks will still ask instead of seaching, or reading sticky titles). my problem is retaining info on several cai's from thread to thread and then implementing said info in an informed deciscion. and once again all you modders rule!

Belong to Ceasar, may I should delete SS folder (old version) only or use uninstall tool (like Revo Uninstaller) to uninstall SS 6.1?
And may I need to turn off UAC before installing SS 6.3?

Yes turn off UAC. As I found out after I installed 6.3, you dont need to uninstall 6.1 or 6.2 beforehand if you dont want to as 6.3 installs into a different folder.

There is no need to uninstall your 6.x versions as long as you don't install 6.3 on top of them you can keep them both.

The betaversion performed well without even beeing installed in the modfolder as long as it was installed on the same drive as M2TW.

F.A.Q
(Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: My MTW2 is installed on a different drive then SS, do i have to reinstall.
A: Due to SS's nature, you can just move its folder around/change its name as you wish, so just move SS to the right disk. You'll have to manually take care of the start menu and desktop icons though.

Q: Can i install this on top of my SS6.2?
A: Due to the nature of 6.3, yes you can. Why? Because 6.3 will simply overwrite all the files anyway

It's going to be 2 hours per part . Fortunately I can play my Clear Sky in the meantime .

thats the best part about 6.3! now you can have full Stainless Steel and a nice submod like BotB on your 6.1 without multiple copies of MTW2.

Yes turn off UAC. As I found out after I installed 6.3, you dont need to uninstall 6.1 or 6.2 beforehand if you dont want to as 6.3 installs into a different folder.

so, that means the 6.1 or 6.2 will still be playable even after you download 6.3, right?
If 6.1 doesn't get over written after you install 6.3, basically you can think of 6.1 and 6.3 as different mods? Sorry if this was answered before(tried to find an answer!). Also on the FAQ on the first page, I just didn't get the "parallel to 6.1 or 6.1".
I just want to keep the 6.1 that I have even after installing 6.3. Thank you

Thanks for the headsup about the FAQ question(s), it's updated.

Q: Can I install this parallel to Stainless Steel 6.1, or Stainless Steel 6.2, or other variants earlier then 6.3?
A: Yes you can, by default 6.3 installs into a completly seperate folder and is 100% independant (hence the "standalone")

Q: Do I need to have Stainless Steel version 6.1 or 6.2 or any other installed beforehand?
A: No, as stated in the release post 6.3 is standalone, no previous Stainless Steel installations required.

If that still isn't clear let me know - I originally thought this would be covered with "Standalone, doesn't require previous installations".

Hey, thanks bane. That sounds clearer to me! You are awesome. It's just my english
Just one more question. When I install the 6.3 files, what's the name of the folder it will create in the mod directory?

[UndoX]

Awesome, now only a couple of hours until everything is downloaded and I can play.
Many thanks to the SS 6.3 team especially Gracul and CC for being such a patient moderator

[Hyllus]

This is a reason enough to make me install M2TW after a format on my computer.Good job everyone!

[guyverlance]

wow.... been waiting for more than a year for this! thanks gracul and to the rest of the team.

Damn it. I have free membership on megaupload but all that's done is shaved 20 seconds off my wait time; not that it makes a jot of difference to me because I can only seem to download one part at a time as I've exceeded my download limit? Which I don't understand as my connection is unlimited...

Any help?

Also, just confirm that I DON'T need to "backup" my old SS files as 6.3 will install to a different directory by default?

That is correct

You can only download one part at a time which is a restriction on there end and none on your side. Your connection doesn't affect this - they just allow only one download to you.
Until the mirrors are up thats all there is. Imho a free membership isn't worth the time registering.

Congrats on an excelent mod.....
One question though does 12tpy script work on this??...i dont like short campaigns.

Without testing I'd suspect that if you put it into the campaign script it'd work but you'd have to delete the ageing script already there. But dont forget that things like building times, population growth, the economy and trait progression is designed for 1tpy. As always though, make a backup first
