    If that doesn't work, re-download the .exe file again.
    My bad - I hadn't noticed that RapidShare put different names. Will see if I can correct that. Added a note to the installation instructions.

    Yes, I have checked it and it works. I was playing as DE for 15 turn without any CTD. However I don't have DE symbol on banners on strategic maps. There is Horde symbol from vanilla instead(You probably removed too much also I have voices of DE (also from vanilla) but I didn't have in "original"1.4.4. I'll check if any CTD will happen but for now it's ok (only this DE symbols worries me a bit).

    I did not change\delete any strategic banner symbols as far as I can remember.

    DE = Dark Elves = mongols = standard_index 8 = top left of symbols3.tga (data\banners\symbols3.tga)

    It is indeed the old mongols symbol - see first attachment. This will not cause any CTD. Do you have a graphic with the correct symbol? Else I could use the symbol_48 graphic (second attachment) and replace the Mongol one in symbols3 - or perhaps someone could post it here?

    This is the symbol from "original" COW


    Weird that it dissapeard in Your version. Maybe COW Team could attache correct one or You could serach it in "original"files?. I'm glad that for now there is no CTD and small problem with banner is nothing in comparision with it.

    I think it was a TGA.DDS file where the original (old) symbol was on - and as such a duplicate. As I said: it will not affect the game. I am sure I can get the original from somewhere. Unfortunately I removed the original files (installer and unpacked) two days ago as I was running out of disk space. I really have to get that 1TB external drive...

    Here You have symbol2.tga.dds file. I see that You have no tga.dds files at all...so where to copy it now?

    I know that it should have no affect to the game.

    Thanks for the info - fixed it.

    Simply extract the file (symbols3.tga) into data\banners. Result see spoiler.

    No problem. I'm glad that I could help. Thanks for Your work. Maybe Your version is a solution for some CTDs. We need more reports.

    So far (turn 28 Hochland campaign) the version works smooth and fine. I had one CTD, but I think that happened because I switched alt+tab to desktop several times. I didnt encounter a real problem.
    Is it normal that there are no sound effects if you click on a button in the menu or on the end-turn button?

    Yes, it seems that all of the files save for the music folder were packed incorrectly.

    I'll see if I can upload my files (they equal about 1.38 GB on their own), but they also contain the new voices from Galloper and ninja.

    On second thought, I'll just upload the three other files (events, voice, and SFX) since the music already works.

    Here's the new sound files (events, voice, and SFX)

    Just extract to your "Call_of_Warhammer/data/sounds" folder

    http://www.gamefront.com/files/20646818/sounds.7z

    Added to first post.

    @T&D: I forget how, but there was a tutorial on how to take huge screenshots at max resolution.

    I have been puzzled by that sound issue myself. Somehow I think that the upgrade with the music patch did not work as planned. I presume the base version has those sounds? My guess would be an incomplete or wrong version of the music.data file. If I figure it out I will post a fix. (THP fixed it while l I typed)

    Edit: screenshots - one of my tutorials: Creating a World - High Resolution Screenshots, I also added a custom settin gin the CFG file to make use of it:
    [video]
    tga_width = 1680
    That will give you a screenshot of 1680*1260. I also added a small script (by userpro) that removes the UI when you press 'Scroll Lock' - press again and the UI returns (strat map only)

    @THP
    Thanks for the files, I will compare and see what happened.

    Hmm, oddly there are still no "minor" sound effects, if you click on a city or end your turn for example.

    Really?

    That's odd

    Perhaps if somebody could upload those files (the ones with the "minor" SFX) I could fix it.

    EDIT: I just checked and the sounds you mentioned are still there. The only noises I cannot seem to get working (be it vanilla CoW or not) are arrows whizzing through the air and cannon balls exploding (the sounds of firing said projectiles works, though )

    First, I just found this site and love it, a great credit to all it's members.

    I am getting a corrupt/unreadable file error: mods\call_or_warhammer\data\ui\northern_european\portrait\portrait\young\generals\033.tga

    I changed the directory to download in steam and opened the installer as admin but can't get past this point. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Edit: Do I need to have the kingdoms expansion for this mod to install?

    Did you read this?:
    Checked this?:
    Please note that the file names differ betweenMegaUpload and RapidShare, the latter does not allow spaces in the file name and replaces it with an underscore. If you 'mix & match' your downloads you will have to make sure the wording\name is the same for all files. The DO files' name is the one that has to be the same as the EXE file's.
