TROM2 - Technical difficulties (NEW: Installation Guide)

[Zekal]

Well I have finish my Europe in conflict campaign not long ago and I just saw “TROM 2”. I remember enjoying this mod on Empire Total war and I couldn’t not resist to download it and install it. So far, it’s awesome like the first one, but with a little plus that help enjoy it more. My question is, not really a technical difficulty but it is technical. I try to modified the campaign_difficulty_handicap_effects in the trom2_easier_economy_submod to modified the setting to my liking, but I swim in the empty dark space of my ignorance. I was wondering those questions and if you could answer I will really be pleased and if you can’t, I will be fine with it!

So one, the difficulty table: what’s is what? -2=Easy? -1=Normal? 0=Hard? 1=Very hard? And in that case what’s 2?
After the Difficulty table, there is unknown and below *True of False* table what’s the use of this?

And my last question, if I change something, would it affect only the player *difficulty* or the CAI too?

Thank you in advance for an answer. (For the two other table I have figure what are their purpose. But for the rest I am lost.)

Welcome to TROM2! The difficulty levels for the player and the AI are defined by the first two rows like this:

CAI

2 false = Very Hard
1 false = Hard
0 false= Normal
-1 false = Easy

Player

-2 true = Very Hard
-1 true = Hard
0 true = Normal
1 true = Easy

The usual reason is that there is a old mod entry in the user script (a file that no longer exist).

ok I will try again to find that Script File in the game folder. I did not see a User Script file when I looked last time. I did download a script file I had found in a older thread. but I am not sure where to place it?

[Yarkis de Bodemloze]

There is an instruction how to find the user script file in the first post.

I t was late I must have missed it it, I'll go back a look it over again thanks.


Ok I have looked all over, I followed the instructions in the first post, I see no folder called %appata% I am using Win 7 So I followed this path!

C:\users\YOUR PROFILE NAME\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Napoleon\scripts

I get to C:\users\my name and then the rest of it is no where to be found??

my game is a steam download dose that make a difference?

[Yarkis de Bodemloze]

I don't have Win7. Maybe the files are hidden. Anybody can help?

[yantar007]

Start game once. (Without a fashion) after that there will be a folder.

Pardon me for not understanding here, What do you mean by Fashion? I assumed you ment to say Faction? If this be the case how would I start a game without one? As far as I can tell you have to pick one to even start a game?

[Groove74]

Ok so I finally Found the user Scripts. After looking it over this is what I have?

mod "trom2_XL_unit_size_submod_50.pack";
mod "trom2_stronger_moral_effects_submod.pack";
mod "trom2_BSM_Napoleon_All_in_One_submod.pack";
mod "trom2_even_easier_economy_submod.pack";
mod "trom2_core.pack";
mod "trom2_enable_campaigns_01.pack";
mod "trom2_extras.pack";


My game is still Mute?? Please help!!! I am using Mod manager

[Groove74]

Problem Solved: I found the issue had nothing to do with the mod at all. as I had stated before I had done a driver update, I found that the drive download was bad. I reinstalled my drivers and the mod all is good now.

As you requested, Yarkis, here's a screenshot of my data folder. The game crashes immediately after the splash screen has loaded (i.e. before the appearance of any cut scenes).

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Remove patch_NOW.pack and see if it works then. I guess it's from the NOW mod and may interfere if it's not a true mod pack file

[Jom]

Trust me to miss something so small and obvious. It works perfectly now. Thanks a lot, Yarkis, and sorry for wasting your time with such a stupid error.

[Celtichugs123]

Uhhh, why do I not have C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR PROFILE NAME\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Napoleon\scripts

???

EDIT: Sorry, I meant, User Scripts

EDIT: Okay, I think I have mastered it! However, could somone copy and paste their User Script to see if I am along the same lines? Though I know it may be a little different due to customization.

Thanks

[Yarkis de Bodemloze]

Whats your operating system?

[Celtichugs123]

I'm so confused... As far as I am aware I have done everything in the Guide, including User Script and still nothing. It just loads Vanilla NTW...

[Yarkis de Bodemloze]

Just post exactly what you entered in the user script.
