Port to Alex

**Caligula Caesar** · November 26, 2011, 01:03 PM

How does one do this? If someone can point the way for me, I can incorporate it into the main build.

**Ballacraine** · November 26, 2011, 01:43 PM

That would be really handy.

I am just in the process of getting it working again.

Some of my issues is that I am not working from the default installation path, so these are not going to be relevant to anyone else.

Anyway, you need chat_filter.san in the root folder data file.

The shortcut should point to '(Your Installation Path)\RomeTW-ALX.exe -mod:rtrvii -show_err -noalexander'

That should get you over most of the hurdles.

I am just going to try & get the intro fmv functioning again.

No.

I am not out of the woods yet.

I can't start a new campaign.

Error in descr_regions.txt line 1087

Cannot find Edonia reference.

Something appears to be using the Horde feature

**Ballacraine** · November 26, 2011, 02:12 PM

Yes, that will need to be 'rem'ed out of the text file with a ';' at the begining of the lines referencing it.

There are about ten lines on one faction in the txt file.

It is the Armenian faction in descr_sm_factions.txt

Oh I see, thanks

I have been searching for it

Managed to get the fmv issue resolved.

Copy across RTRVII_Intro from the root Data/fmv folder to
alexander/data/fmv.

Not sure if it will work just like that.

If not delete the original Intro_Titles-2 file & rename the RTRVII intro video Intro_Titles-2.

are you actualy trying to port the whole mod to alexander or just run rtr7.1 off the alex engine?

**Ballacraine** · November 26, 2011, 03:18 PM

No, I am just trying to Run RTRVII with Alex again.

I had it working fine before this latest patch.

The bit you quoted I was enabling the rather nice RTRVII Intro video to play.

**GRANTO** · November 26, 2011, 03:26 PM

what error you at? or is it working?

**Ballacraine** · November 26, 2011, 03:28 PM

Replied to your PM.

I don't think there is much point in me further cluttering this thread with my flailing about with it.

I'll add further info. as I make progress though.

This is basically one done for hotfix 1 version and not compatible with current patch but the relevant files are there for comparison.

Aye, thanks for the reminder, LestaT.

Myself and several others have had problems with the script not initializing in Alex.

**Ballacraine** · November 30, 2011, 03:43 PM

Odd thing is, I have reinstalled again & it was working great with the Alex.exe w/o Hotfix, Patch 1 & 1a

**Megas Antiviros <3 Gaesatae :p** · December 01, 2011, 03:51 AM

I ported it to alex and I don't have problems...

**Ballacraine** · December 01, 2011, 11:31 AM

Would you be able to give detailed instruction of how you did that successfully, please?

Balla.

**Ballacraine** · December 28, 2012, 05:14 AM

Sorry to exhume this thread, but the release of the 1.3 patch prompted me to try again with Alex.exe.

No progress as yet.

I either get an incorrect disc error from the launcher, or a CTD if I shortcut directly to the Alex.exe

Has anyone else tried this yet?
