Hmmm... would I be correct in assuming you do not have the 4TPY mod??

[Phaylanx]

first i installed a clean RTW 1.5 then BI then i patched it to 1.6 after i installed RTRPE 1.6 then i downloaded ur mod and put them in the right places also when i try starting a new campaign it brings me back to new campaign screen srry i also have ^ that problem when i exit and by the way whats TPY 4?

[JoeyJubb]

No need to say sorry, I should be the one apologising to you!!
Please note that this mod is only compatible with 1.7beta now, and that you'll need to install 1.7beta before using this mod

EDIT: I hope that fixes your problem

[Phaylanx]

when i download the 1.7 patch whenever i try to start a custom battle it CTD on me any help?

[JoeyJubb]

Okay, so 1.7 without my mod CTDs in a custom battle?
Do you have "-show_err" enabled?

[Phaylanx]

dont think so im currently uninstalling everything(sigh) and trying it again(sigh) it usually CTDS when im playing with mecedon and using the hypasipti

[JoeyJubb]

(sigh)!!!
Well, after you reinstall everything, right click your RTR shortcut, go to Target: and type

-show_err

on the end. Most CTDs will then give an error message which will be alot easier to solve

EDIT: Okay, if you're reinstalling then I'm going to go chill out on Counter Strike

[Phaylanx]

okay ill try that thnxz! by the way wheres this target thing? i sound like a noob

[JoeyJubb]

Dw you're not a noob! Noobs are annoying and you're not annoying

Right click the RTR shortcut and press properties.
In the dialogue box, press the Shortcut tab.
Next to Target: type in -show_err after the rest of the text and outside the quotes.
Press OK.


As a note, if you would like to increase the performance of your game, replace everything in the "Target:" section with this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C "start /HIGH RomeTW-BI.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9" -mod: -nm -show_err

Note: this will decrease the performance of other programs while the game is running

[Phaylanx]

o okay thnxz man

[JoeyJubb]

Lol, I accidentally typed -ne, i meant -show_err, i've changed the post now

EDIT: going away to play counter strike, be back in a few hours

[Phaylanx]

okay i did everything and they still cant do spearwall or shieldwall im so confused also where can i get this 4TPY mod??

[JoeyJubb]

OMG! I just realised.... go to your shortcut properties and press "find target", if it opens a window with RomeTw.exe highlighted, then that's your problem!

In the target section, type this: "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI" -mod: -show_err

Ps, tip: just make a new post instead of editing the old one then it's easier for me to notice

[Phaylanx]

o okay but they still dont have spear wall and when i exit it says the same error as Flavius Augustus had something about missing leader bonus

[JoeyJubb]

*cries*
Okay, I have no idea why this is happening, I'm going to upload you my guess at a fix - give me about 2 mins.

[JoeyJubb]

Try using theses, just copy the descr_stat.txt file over the old one and use the shortcut in the archive

[Phaylanx]

im sorry in my game they fight with their spears over hand and everything but they dont have the sheild wall ability i even checked the export descr file and it says it right their sheild wall but in the game they dont have it

[JoeyJubb]

Stop apoligising! Hehe, I don't mind helping at all

[Phaylanx]

o ok im just a real nice guy

[JoeyJubb]

So... did the new descr_stat.txt work?
