By replace with the patch document, did you meant to drop it in the folder?

**PikeStance** · June 26, 2014, 08:51 PM

If I understand the question right... you should place the data files (.pack files) in the data folder and place the campaign files in the campaign folder (imperial_splendour)

**IrishHitman** · June 28, 2014, 10:02 PM

So, a year and a half later, and it's finally out in a form worthy of the name.

May need to do another AAR

**P R Y M O R D I A L** · July 12, 2014, 01:54 PM

What the hell is a pack file? Doesn't say anything like it on mine.

**Quintus Hortensius Hortalus** · July 13, 2014, 12:12 AM

Take a look at the file names after you extracted them. Most of the have the ending ".pack". These are the .pack files.

**noobd** · July 29, 2014, 10:22 PM

Yikes, first two download links download at 35kbps and the third one said the file is not found.

Am I missing something here or do I have to leave my computer on over night?

**Quintus Hortensius Hortalus** · July 30, 2014, 01:24 AM

The first link works fine for me. Simply try again to download the file.

**PikeStance** · August 03, 2014, 10:58 PM

I recently was infected with a virus so I had to reformat my computer, so I will be re- downloading everything and re- evaluating the instructions and links.

**drakkarz** · February 01, 2015, 02:33 AM

Hi everyone, I got an error here.. after I follow (correctly, I'd say) the instructions, the error "Application load error 5:0000065434" appears, I have no idea about what this is, hope you can figure it out..
I'd really like playing your mod, it looks amazing =)
thanks in advance for anyone who'll help me out with this.

When did the CTD occur?

**mavyalex** · February 28, 2015, 02:05 AM

Hi,

I am trying to install IS but is doesn't seem to work.

Also I have DarthMOd Empire installed. Is it Ok?

I followed Step 3.

I followed Step 4 and moved all .pack files to the designated folder because IS still didn't work (I got the original Empire TW menu screen)

Then when I launch I still get to the original E TW screen but there are 2 red banners one at the top and one at the bottom of the screen. Is this the menu screen?

What is IS screen please ? Spoiler alert doesn't show anything...How do I know I am running correctly IS please?

What should I do please? Maybe DarthMod is not deactivated but I set it to Vanilla mode.

Regards,

**PikeStance** · February 28, 2015, 02:17 AM

This is my directory
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts

I would do the following;
1) Uninstall Darthmod
2) Run game as vanilla (play a turn)
3) Then look for the folder again.

**mavyalex** · February 28, 2015, 03:30 AM

Hi,

Do you mean to suppress the DW directory entirely ro just to uninstall manually DW through DMEUninstall executable in the DM folder? (I did the latter, so DM directory is still in data directory).
I played a turn of vanilla game after deactivating DW and I found the C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts directory, but the user.empire_script.txt file was missing and of course it's not in the IS folder anymore...

So I created manually by copy pasting the content from this forum.Now I think I will copy paste the entire EMpire TW directory to another location without DW, install IS and see if it works...Any solution?

I still have the same problem: Empire TW original menu with red banners at top and bottom.

PikeStance: can you show me how the IS menu screen lookds like please?

**PikeStance** · February 28, 2015, 04:26 AM

Ok,

Steps
Put all IS Data files including the bin file in the Data Folder (In fact just put everything in the data folder)
Make sure the user.script is correct.
Launch using the Empire.exe

-----
It sounds like everything is in the IS folder in the Data folder. In which case you have to use the IS launcher. The Empire.exe will only launch the vanilla game.
I think it might be best if you use the Empire.exe instead, so follow the above steps.

----

When loaded correctly there will be an Imperial Splendour graphic at the top.

**mavyalex** · February 28, 2015, 04:53 AM

All working good PikeStance...Thanks.Imperial Splendour looks good. Less units than in other mods or vanilla game, but more realistic.Battle mechanics are good. I like it..
