DOS scripting for the warhammer.bat file?

Hi all,

If I've installed CoW to: F:\Medieval II\mods\Call_of_warhammer

How should the text be in the warhammer.bat, which the short cut links to?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean the target of the shortcut? If so it should be "F:\Medieval II\mods\Call_Of_Warhammer\Executable.bat"

No, I mean: how I should edit the warhammer.bat so it targets the new directory.

It's "born" with a C:\ target, And thats what I want to change

Change C for F and you should be good.

Ah, ofc! doh! Should have thought of that.

Erm, could some1 please copy paste batch text, as I kinda, erm, forgot to take a back up before I began trying to edit it...

/n00b off.

Code: [View]

cd "..\.."
start kingdoms.exe @mods\Call_of_Warhammer\warhammer.cfg

That's about it. However I don't see why are you having problems with this. Maybe what you need to change is the route of the shortcut on the desktop, not the .bat since there's no mention of a logical unit there barring the cd "..\.."

Now it works! Awesome Thanks!

I believe the problem was, that there was a C:\ before the: start kingsdoms etc. Thats what must have caused it.

Thanks for great support Lord Baal!

Ok, I can't run the batch file as Admin? If I try to run the game as Admin, batch file directs to a C:/ directory, where the mod isn't located.
But when I just click at the batch file, the game starts without any problems. But it's stated everywhere, that the game should be run as admin?

I've attached a pic of the problem, I hope that you can help.

Sorry for the spam, seems I'm not quite used to the upload tools here.

Hey there! Now I know what you were talking at the pm!

Now, the game shouldn't need to be run as admin. In either case is weird that it gives you this error.

The problem is in RED:

cd "..\.."
start kingdoms.exe @mods\Call_of_Warhammer\warhammer.cfg

Remove those symbols from the line in your BAT file.
And why do you have another CoW folder inside your CoW folder?
