Minor Mod.

Summary:

Problem and Solution

1)
Problem:when run program it is in window screen and something strange with the resolution.
Solution: You know the shortcut to activate the game
right click on it and click property
in target it should have

"C:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod:bi\shogun2 -show_err -nm -ne -enable_editor

change this to

"C:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod:bi\shogun2 -show_err -nm -enable_editor

by deleting the -ne
this dismisses the windowed feature, I think

2)
Problem: Cannot build ship
Solution : Unlock ships in both files
2.1 export_desc_buildings.txt
2.2 export_descr_unit.txt

path
You must place the two files into "Path to your Rome directory/Rome - Total War/BI/shogun2/data".

Detail: some factions cannot in the list for construct ship. Then i add all factions can constuct ships.

I hope this helps.

Problem:
1. When run RNJ => The unit disappear on Battle map. (not hiding in grass or snow)
2. unit size is so small (40)

solution:
1 Edit preference.txt and change value by set more detail and unit will not disappear.
2 The previous unit size is 40 and i change it to 80.

You can use program winmerge.exe for see diffrerent location in preference.txt.

download preferences.txt
http://www.mediafire.com/?bklnxb11ohj7o99

By copy preferences.txt to

C:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\BI\shogun2\preferences

For low graphics, please change it to suitable value.

I hope this helps

1. Problem: When you siege or assault castle, you cannot select to build siege engine

2. problem: The preview map is not shown on menu screen.
Root cause: Disable this item

many thanks for doing this kenny2010,very much appreciated.

[Wundai]

You're doing great work Kenny

But I'd advise you not to do too many things.

We have a great member Called Juggernaut who is our History expert, and is working on Campaign Faction Descriptions already, this is a long process which he has been doing great and has progressed far.

So I would ask you not to do work in vain.

[leonn]

kenny,once all the fixes are installed is it best to start a new game?

[kenny2010]

kenny,once all the fixes are installed is it best to start a new game?

Please try to start a new game and report bugs to RNJ team.

Wundai : I think, i did it enough .... (The game is sufficient enough for play).
For description and other like text and graphics 2D,3D : Waiting for core RNJ to create and edit (I am not touch this part).
Someone means someone in your team to edit. vermicious knid invite me for be a part of team for test
and internal fix bugs already. Which released in patch 1.1 soon.

Waiting for a long time and finally it is almost finished. Thank you.

[leonn]

right,tried to install sub mod but must have got it wrong.dl'ed it,unzipped it,moved the bi file contained therein to my rtw location,did not prompt me to overwrite anything so i assume ive muffed it in some way! could you kindly tell me exactly what do i put exactly where useing exactly which command?
useing simple terms a luddite can understand would be a distinct advantage!

[leonn]

anyone?im not having any luck!

[Wundai]

Sry mate I can't help you, I didn't install any sub-mods yet

[leonn]

hey kenny! give us a hand here mate im having difficultys!
edit.dont worry i figured it out.

[hajimemasite]

Ok, All In One Fix + some balancing
download the attachment to view this fix

I balanced recruitment cost and some other areas
and you now can recruit gens from high level governmental building
and all settlement has lowest level farm
and it gets more varieties for recruitment, for some settlements

This fix includes
Kenny's fix up till ver 5
teppo fix
christian fix
rebel fix

the game is still quite imbalanced even with this fix, but the game I think is much more fun using this fix

Install manual included in 7z. Extract it and read the read me file

enjoy

[leonn]
