credit to Stylix, how to get this mod working... on windows 7
Ok so after a series of posts he/she managed to get this mod working PERFECTLY YES WOOT WOOTon my windows 7
so.... for all of you like me who arn't computer savy I will tell the step by step process posted here
ok so i have Windows 7 and the full downloaded version of the gold version on amazon... (i had box but lost my freaking CD)
Download the game from amazon costs 53 cents more than box version (cheaper to buy downloaded version if you count shipping)
for me it took 6 painful hours to download the game onto my desktop...
once you have the game on your desktop open Medieval 2 total war - GOLD EDITION
clicky the
SET UP application
from here it will ask you the EULA ect and eventually you get a question asking for the product key...
go back to the Medieval 2 total war - GOLD EDITION FOLDER
below it there should be somthing called Medieval 2 total war -GOLD EDITION KEYS
click that (link yourself to an internet source)
It will open a site that lets you access a paticular product key (code) that you can maually type in or copy past to the code area... ( i suggest copying it down in paper incase you have to reinstall (the key is constant, how i know? i had to reinstall the game 19 freaking times to get the mod working)
LET THE GAME DOWNLOAD MEDIEVAL 2 TOTAL WAR, Americas, Britania, Crusades, and Teutonic Campaign (it will auto download) DO NOT MOVE THE AMERICAS,BRITANIA,CRUSADES,TEUTONIC FOLDERS INTO MODS SECTION FOR THE GOLD EDITION FOLDER THAT IS A NO NO
once you have the games installed DO EXACTLY AS Stylix told me to do
DOWNLOAD MOD VERSION 3.0, 4.2, 4.3 on the desktop, so this is internet to computer...
(you can use manager, i didn't because i got confused using the manager..aka i didn't know if i had to sign up to use the program) anyway to stay relevant...
when you have all three on your desktop... BE ADMINISTRATOR IF POSSIBLE (OR YOU WANT TO BE)
(IF YOU ARE ADMIN ON YOUR COMPUTER) RIGHT CLICK the Kingdoms_Grand_Campaign_M0
click run as administrator
it will ask to download the file to program files...
click next next and it will say that it downloads to C:\Program Files (x86)(this side has something else, its rooted to the right place)
ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT IT SAYS ITS ROOTING TO C:\Program Files (x86)...
do so for version 4.2
and for version 4.3
install it to the same file listed on this sight BUT MAKE SURE ITS TO: C:\Program Files (x86)...
rather than simply C:\Program Files...
THANK YOU STYLIX

what you should not do (me)
download it to bland C:\Program Files....
what will happen...
you will recieve white cubes for ok buttens, dissable buttens...
your screen will zoom him 2 times the normal size...
your will see big fat 3d back grounds near the name of your cities...
your unit control bar will be a 3 inch speck on the bottom of your screeen, heck the control bar will dissappear...
IF YOU PLAY THE GAME ON A SCREEN, for the love of all things good and bubba DO NOT GO TO OPTIONS CLICK CUSTOM AND CLICK SHADER VERSION 1...
it will cause your game to go black your mouse to blink the load sign... and you will spend hours wondering why you hate this game, but desperatly want to play the mod...
if you do this simply open the game... disconect the wire of the screen to the (laptop NOT COMPUTER I USED A LAPTOP!!!!) computer.. have the game crash...
open the game on the computer with a smaller screen.. change the shader to version 2...
reconect the game and voila your game's menu is fixed...
