Installing BC onto Steam

[BlackHorseCav]

I'm pretty sure I got all of them, but I'll do it again. Also, my Grand Campaign will not launch, it takes me back to the main single player menu whenever I click "start." Are these two problems possibly connected?

Dear BlackHorseCav,

This problem only ever occurs for me when I work on map files, a small error in the files that generate the campaign map will stop the grand campaign from loading. In your case it is possible that your install has been corrupted. You will need to uninstall and reinstall. If that fails re-download and reinstall again.

I know it all seems like too much hard work, but perseverance has its rewards.

Unfortunately, I can't help you more. I don't know Steam. I think you need to wait until GGM comes around.

i followed your instructions to the letter, but now when i launch it with the broken crescent exe it doesnt run, and when i launch it with the kingdoms modifier, it just crashes because of fatal error. i am at my wits end. if you can, please help

[General George Monck]

Dear dowdpride,

Please report the following;

How you launched the game?

What files you deleted?

What things you did to bypass the UAC (Vista or 7 only)?

Please also provide technical details and screen shots if you feel that they would enhance your description.

Best regards,

GGM

[dowdpride]

i launched the game and no matter what i do it crashes, i am runningn windows xp, and none of the files that i had to delete were there

[General George Monck]

Dear dowdpride,

I assume you have Steam and have installed M2TW into the Steam files structure. OK, have you installed BC to the correct place? Are you trying to open BC via the Launcher? Are there any text.strings.bin files in the text folder (Broken_Crescent/broken_crescent/data/text)? Can you give a detailed description of the process you use to attempt to launch the game and what you witness?

We are eager to help, but we need much more detailed information to make an assessment of what the problem may be.

Best regards,

GGM

well i followed the intructions exactly, but it doesnt really matter because i uninstalled the game and am just buying the normal version . thanks for the help though

Edited: Okay i figured out why but now im getting the CA_LIBS error.

btw in your Install Procedure, step 6 you said to run kingdoms launcher but the description of this app says

"This app was designed for steam users of kingdoms so that it is easy to add mods to the launcher and be able to play them. It will allow to add new mods remove old mods, edit the order of mods in the launcher"

But i don't have kingdoms installed :S It still doesn't work anyway when i use it.

[loltothemaxx]

Wait, so you need to have Kingdoms installed to play the Broken Crescent Mod?

Dear loltothemaxx,

I am ever so sorry for the late reply. As for your query I believe that the Steam version of M2TW is the 1.3 update version with the launcher feature. However I have Kingdoms as well so I am unsure if I am correct in my assumption. Please disabuse me of this if I am wrong.

Dear AxxyAxill,

Yes it does say that but I believe that the way the launcher functions is identicle between both M2TW and Kingdoms so it would make no difference if you just had M2TW. However, I may be in error so I will ask Squid if this is the case.

I am having the same problem dowdpride is having. When I go to the Launcher Mod List, do I type in the Config and Path File? Or do I need to browse and find them ? and the bc.cfg is just the bcconfig folder correct ?

Back to you loltothemaxx,

I suggest you browse and find them as even the slightest miss-type will cause it to fail.

how can i post a screen shot on here ?

Attach the file as a jpeg, the button is in the "Additional Options Box".

i got it to launch, yet when i go to campaign and click grand campaign it says" Please choose one from the list." Also it lists the historic battles. but shows nothing about them, and cannot play those either.

Try deleting again the files you were required to delete in the install instructions, otherwise wipe everything and reinstall.

Ok, after the third install, that work.
Sorry.

Dear Arthalion,

Your perseverance has rewarded you. I hope all who use mods pickup on your can-do attitude.

To All,

I am ever so sorry again for not being around this last week to help you with your Steam install issues. I am currently wrangling with my broadband provider about payment and exorbitant charges. That aside I will endeavour in future to be more attentive and try to give a timely response.

KBO,

GGM

No, you don't.

[wudang_clown]

bc.cfg is a separate file, not a folder.

As for the rest, I can't help you, sorry.
