The ToolBox - The Universal Mod Launcher v1.204 (Latest Steam Update Compatible)

[ThereWasADream]

I'm sorry, I really AM an idiot! LOL I totally misunderstood the directions. I have placed the Launcher inside the proper folder, but now I get THIS error:

Could you please link me to the .cfg tutorial? I did not make one having misunderstood what I needed to do. I searched but did not find it and have to wait 30 seconds every time I refine my search due to this silly forum... Thank you.

[Guan Ziyang]

The instructions in the log also say if this is a personal modification, which in your case isn't (Still trying to run Third Age here I assume right?).

Screenshot of where the launcher is placed please.

There's just no CFG file. Should I just reinstall? I've deleted everything and reinstalled more times than I can count.

[Guan Ziyang]

Perhaps ask for some help over at the official TATW forums? They would probably know more about why it is missing (which should never be the case, unless manually deleted) than me.

The Mod is now working. Apparently "3.2 is a stand-alone version" does not actually mean that, and I needed to download a previous version first. Thank you for your patient help - I am sorry for wasting your time dealing with a problem that had nothing to do with your Mod Launcher.

No problem, and no apologies needed. Always glad to help

I have a problem when I start the launcher I get a message saying it could not find a CD / DVD-ROM what can I do?

Doesn't seem related to my launcher (If that message appears, it's Med2 that ran into an error, nothing to do with my launcher). Please open a thread here and I'm sure someone will be able to help you with this.

He has and it's answered.

I'm attempting to use the launcher to play Rage of the Dark Gods. I've installed everything, and have your launcher, but the launcher only runs vanilla M2TW. The mod files are in the mod folder, and the main RotDG folder contains the launcher and the Configuration.cfg.

[Reg06]

Sorry for the double post, but here's the log.

I'm having the same issue that Reg06 is having. Same Log Also.

[Guan Ziyang]

Very sorry for the late reply,

Could you upload a copy of the .cfg file for me to take a look at? Most likely the mod targeting was left out within the .cfg.

[blairdolin]

No sweat. Thanks for you time.

Wrong installation path of the mod?

[Xyd]

Having the same problem as Blair. My log is practically the same as his.

Got ROTD installed in the correct path. As in Mods>Modinstallation and the launcher inside that. Configuration file is named correctly. As is the mod folder itself.

It's weird because I had this working before I did a reinstall, and got it working the first time despite not following the installation guidelines correctly because I managed to get the mod working by having the actual launcher inside the main folder of the Medieval Kingdom II. But I had to do a reinstall as I kept on crashing and figured I didn't install it right. Now, with a full correct installation, it doesn't work. This is also a steam version.

[Gigantus]

Please confirm if your path looks like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\Rage_of_dark_Gods with the launcher in the Rage_of_dark_Gods folder.

[Xyd]

Please confirm if your path looks like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\Rage_of_dark_Gods with the launcher in the Rage_of_dark_Gods folder.

It does. However I found out the issue... Steam wasn't launching Kingdoms. Apparently medieval II doesn't like a reinstall, so it's not detecting Kingdoms even though its installed, and the mod requires it. So it isn't your launcher, but rather steam being a .

Hello, I just heard about this tool and was hoping for some help, I have 2 small mods, just Retrofit1.0 and GUAMv6, normal installation is 1st retrofit, then Guam, but I don't understand the install instructions, feel really dumb, but both mods are .exe files for installs, really confused any help greatly appreciated
