CoW 1.4.4 - Easy and painfree Installation

[Gigantus]

UPDATE

I have put a torrent link (The Pirate Bay) at the bottom of the first post. This is the first time I have created a torrent, so feedback, tips and other encouragements are welcome.I am crossing my fingers that it goes well as I am on a dynamic IP.

Please give feedback about the torrent - it's my very first one!
Download torrent from 'The Pirate Bay'

Just checked: my upload speed for seeding isn't the best and maxes out at 50KB\sec - hopefully this will not take too long.

Just in case someone wonders: my username wasn't available at TPB - so I had to settle for a slightly different one (Gargantus)

Hmmm not to beat a dead horse but...I noticed I do not even have a Battle Adviser when I fight(hes not where he usually is top left part of the screen)...so there is no way I could actually mute / unmute to hear him say things like "we've lost half our men!"

Has anyone else encountered this problem at all? Or do you still hear all the generals speeches and what not from battle?

I just checked, there is no advisor at all, even if you set it to: "explain everything" - this is definitely low on my list of fixes. Might get fixed in a "fly by" when I fix something else.

Thanks that's all I wanted to know! Just wanted to make sure it just was not me or whatever...Like I said I will take your install without any battle adviser any day over the other ones that crash every other turn or battle

the attached files on back of first post are some addition modifications to your basic version of 1.4.4 ?

Post #2 contains a patch and some additional corrected files for my version of 1.4.4

At the bottom of Post #1 is an additional link to a torrent for the whole version.

Wow, took me a while to notice this awesomeness.

Can't believe you managed to cut 3 gigs from the install file. Makes me want to reinstall CoW just for that.

So worth it.... so very much worth it

I stumbled across another 3-500MB while looking for further fixes...

If you have suffered from annoying crashes with the original, then this version is worth it (see the comments)

[Gigantus]

It appears the seeding for the torrent has been successful - someone else is seeding now as well apart from myself.
Kindly give a feed back if the files install correctly.

UPDATE

I came across a thread where it was discussed that the Krell event did not fire. Apprently this was due to the fact the an ancillary (krell_axe) could be aquired before the event was due. As the absence of this ancillary (and later acquisition by the Krell character) was instrumental in the start of the Krell event this could lead to a 'non happening' of that event.
A simple 'orphaning' of the ancillary (removal\absence of triggers) fixed that. See second post.

MORE UPDATE

Came across this nifty application of the FPS Booster by .:Zack Fair:. This should assist with tickling those last frame rates out of your machine. In the second post as well.

i'll be having it in 3 hours and i'll be seeding it as much as possible...

what i'd like to ask for though ,would be a zipped form of an installed folder
-in english
-with ninja51 's voice mod (expanded english voice mod)
-with all the bugs solved ,as in post#2 (at least the ones discovered till now ,like some banners etc)

Hello, my friend.

I'll be happy to let you know that this mod is in English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish.

You'll have no difficulties understanding the mod

The torrent is the same 11 files as in post one plus a text file of that first post.
I am still the only seeder, but it should go quicker now - got some tips and tricks for the settings and hopefully in a few hours others will start seeding as well. From then on it should be a breeze.
There are about 30 peers that are at nearly 80% - being my first ever uploaded torrent I didn't know that it is advisable to set it at 'initial seeding' when the upload speed is as low as mine (40KB\sec). I have seeded roughly 5.5GB for an upload of 3.8GB, guess I learned something new. The next torrent will be easier and probably not as big.

• THP forgot that this version has Italian as well.
• I do not really wish to put any major sub mods into a full upload - this is supposed the base version without the hiccups. The flavor should stay, the bad aftertaste should be gone.
• Fixes I will be putting in as I come across them, the reason why I am slowly running out of attachment slots in post #2 - time for a patch again, I guess.

Derp!

Its better than Christmas.....

[Gigantus]

The torrent is fully seeded, currently there are more then 50 seeders.

I am working on integrating Toho's strat map models (buildings\settlements) and then will compile a new patch with it and the small stuff I released.

[T&D]

Great so torrent is now available.And i don't know about this???
Maybe edit ,,download'' post in main forum as additional links??

[Gigantus]

This is a modified original version. But seeing that the modifications do not change anything apart from the download size and a drastic reduction in crashes it might be an idea.
