Need Help

Hi guys,

That's my issue with TA3.0

once downloaded (regularly without any problem) I installed the mod in the default path suggested; no matter here, all went good; then, once I tryied to launch the mod, it starts but after the first immage with the rotating ring it crash to the desktop without any error message, simply back to the desktop. thinking to a corrupted download I re-download again and re.installed the mod one more time, but the crash back again.
I've noted that in the TA folder there's no a subone called log where find the error messages, so I looked into the med2 log folder where I found that:

23:32:26.234 [system.rpt] [always] CPU: SSE2

23:32:57.015 [script.err] [error] Script Error in data/descr_building_battle.txt, at line 1032, column 23

any idea?

Thanks

Are you sure you deleted all 2.1 files before you installed 3.0?

and people tend to install 3.0(and the 3.1 patch) to medieval 2 total war > mods > Third Age when you only have to install it to the Medieval 2 total war folder

I'm sure mate, I haven't changed the folder that the installation process give me automatically, as I'm aware of this kind of issues.

And yes, I've deleted all the 2.1 files with the search fuction and the regedit.

It might not have installed correctly. If you're running Windows 7 or Vista follow this guide, then delete your current installation of TATW, and then reinstall. If this still doesn't work you could also try reinstalling M2TW and then reinstalling TATW 3.0 and 3.1 patch.

Hi mate, no, I have got XP.

I've just downloaded the mod twice to avoid possible corrupted files and then installed twice too, but the ctd is always the same, without any error message, and checking the file log in the med2 log folder it comes back with what I posted in the first message.
I rally don't know 'cause I haven't had any problems in the past with any mod or sub-mod (currently only one installed) and my med2 version is pretty clean...

I downloaded TA2.1 because when my computer tried to download 3.0 it said file not found. Now when I try to open the 2.1 icon it pops up, but then says kingdoms.exe is not found by windows. Can some on help me? I tried to open it a lot ,but the same thing keeps happening. If anyone knows what to do please respond. I want to do more than watch people play Total War then upload it to Youtube...

Solved! it was a conflict with another mod, Bellum Crucis. I made another med2 installation and updated it with TA, and evrything runs good. Many thanks.

You have to upgrade their armor by building armory buildings (blacksmith, armory, etc...) I'm not sure what level/building you need though.

thank you @stealthfox but how in custom battle how do u do it ?

**StealthFox** · December 30, 2011, 12:43 PM

I have not done this myself for Gondor so I am only guessing, but for upgraded armor units in custom battle you only need to click the little shield to the left when selecting your units.

**Escorpion** · December 30, 2011, 03:57 PM

ye i tried and it didnt work so i dont know what to do

**StealthFox** · December 30, 2011, 04:04 PM

Okay, I just tried it in custom battle. To get the full plate armor you have to give them two armor upgrades. Click on the shield twice and it should show a small silver shield in the unit card.
