RodG 1.5 - Easy and painfree Installation

[DavidtheDuke]

Hey, GREAT compilation. I really appreciate this. I don't know if this might have to do with one of your additions or modifications, but the Greatbeards for the scripted battle near the beginning for the dwarfs are appearing in Zhufbar rather than Karak Eight Peaks. I still managed to fight them back with some regular upgrade dwarfs and Longbeards and miners and mortars, but the first time I played the campaign I might've not been so lucky. Otherwise no bugs, this mod is amazing.

Hey, first GREAT JOB! game is awesome.

I at round 82 (High Elves, no other mods). I end the turn, couple factions go and than game stuck on Chaos United. And it doesn't change, I tried for 45 mins+ but no change. What to do?

Can someone check and say what's wrong?

It crashed and the log says this! What is it??

Sure thing. This time, Silverspear was held by the Orcs and I attacked it with a Chaos Dwarf army - as I said it happens every time I try to fight on the Battle Map involving Silverspear. Attached is the system log with log level = * trace. It's not exceedingly large though, and as far as I can tell, it's the same I already uploaded. Also attached, the savegame where it happened.

Another thing, I checked for the files it warns are missing, and they are actually there in the folders. I also have full ownership of these folders, by the power vested in me by takeown.

Also, I tried reinstalling kingdoms too, but it didn't help either.

This looks like a battle model issue but I can't confirm.

I am sorry, but there is nothing in the log that might give a clue. Maybe related to save problems that we had before the release of patch 1.5. - it was assumed all those were fixed.

Hmm, any pointers to where I could look or research for a fix? It's happened again since, with Nachtdorf Ostermark vs Sylvania. If it is a model issue, I'm pretty sure it has to do with the building models, since it happens with vastly different units, but always only in a few places - Silverspear, Nachtdorf, Salmfahre, so far.

Buff boy do you have any submods installed? Something that messes with the turns per year or something along those lines?

[buffsboy474]

All I have is Third Age, but even before I had installed it, this error was being reported in the logs! I have also installed all the patches in order after installation of actual mod and disabled the UAC before installation of RoDG prior. All steps as required for installation were followed!

I am having a problem here. I successfully download the first 2 parts to c:/program files(x86)/SEGA/medieval 2 total war but on the third download, it keeps getting stuck at 4% and won't budge. I can launch the game but the unit card pictures are gone.

[HouseStarkFTW]

It stops at events.idx

[Ensis1410]

Oddly enough,I played in 2011 and a card unit Kislev had the sketches and now some unit have screenshots from the game.This change is due to copyright, or sudden loss of taste?
There were, of 2.52.

[Paladin Musashi]

I've never been able to get CoW to work, ever. I've never even got it to launch successfully, and I've been trying on and off for years. It's the only reason I bought Kingdoms too.

So I heard about this and tried it out, but it crashes on launch.

I'll attach the log, perhaps you have some idea of what's wrong.

[HouseStarkFTW]

Never mind about my problem. I let the download while I was at school hoping that it would somehow fix itself, (foolosh hope, but yeah xD) and it worked :S So everything is cool.

[ash874]

i redid everything from scratch and the game started
the only issue was that descr_strat.zip was unavailable from its link
i downloaded it from the end of the second post where all files are

started a game with the empire faction that has rocket launchers
first two turns i cant recruit any artillery
is that normal?

i noticed some small changes in unit cards - nice

[Lord Baal]

I don't know if this happened only to me, but the voice of the beastmen is lost. They have no sound when you click on them.

Dear Gigantus, here is my problem:

I have windows 7, and M2TW and Kingdoms on steam, I followed each and every step you depicted (Did the step3 in the UAC thing, installed in \steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War, got the launcher to launch mods properly)
Downloaded and installed RoDG 1.5, the 005 patch and the quickfixes in numerical order.

But when I try to launch the game I only get the Error message "Sigmar preserve us! Chaos is taking over, closing the gates now." and the game crashes on the startup loading screen. I can play the official mods for kingdoms (Americas, teutonic, etc...)
just fine, only RoDG has this error, please help

[Gigantus]

Did you install all THREE parts of the installer? If so, please check the 'Error reporting' section in the first post and report back with a trace log.

YES! that was the problem, now I deleted the folder and did every step again, this time installing all 3 parts, and it works now
THANK YOU !!

Hi, I downloaded this mod as specified in the first and second post, and when I attempt to start the mod up via the Launcher, I get a fatal error on start-up with the title CA_Libs, saying "Medieval 2 has encountered a fatal error and will now exit".

I've tried starting it as administrator, tried restarting and searched high and low for answers on this issue and have come up with nothing, any help on this would be appreciated.

[Lord Baal]

Gigantus the sound issue with the beastmen appeared to be a conflict with the language of my game. It was Spanish. I just installed the game in English but had no time to install the mod. I will try latter and tell you how things went.
