Roma Surrectum environment modified for Vanilla Rome Total War

**20ninescene** · September 19, 2015, 03:57 PM

Hello everyone. I made a little patch that adds the roma surrectum environments to vanilla Rome Total War ~~& Barbarian Invasion~~ (barbarian invasion only works with the old non-modfoldered version). I made some modifications to it and I also included Sinuhet's AI formations, signifier1's animations and Player1's bug fixer. Furthermore I rebalanced the unit stats. ~~It's not mod-foldered so make a backup of your original files before extracting it in your rome total war gold folder.~~ On 14 december 2015 the link has been uptated by a modfoldered version, so you don't have to make a backup anymore. Little warning: the modfoldered version only works with a clean rtw install and isn't compatible with the old non-modfoldered version of this mod.

Here's the download link: (updated on 14 december 2015)

And for those who want to play Barbarian Invasion with the RS environments there is still the old version:

Special thanks go to these modders:
Tone, DVK901 and the rest of the Roma Surrectum II team
Sinuhet for his AI formations
Éorl for some trees
Player1 for his bugfixer
Signifier 1 for his animations
Europa Barbarorum for their campaign map vegetation and rocks

I also used some textures from: www.maxTextures.com and 0AD, an open source game of ancient warfare.

Thanks for that mate.

If I wanted to add RS II Environments to another mod (77BC) how would I do it?

More precisely, which files do I need?

I searched the forums but didn't find a manual on how to add RS II environments to another mod.

I tried myself but failed.

Just the battlefield environments would be nice. The stratmap environments would be a bonus.

Can you lend me a hand?

The files selected are the ones that you need:

Ps: Is your mod modfoldered? if so you'll also need to edit some files

**bobbyr** · September 20, 2015, 02:57 PM

Yeah the mod is modfoldered and runs on Barbarian Invasion.

What do I have to change?

Thanks a lot mate.

Well... you'll have to change almost everything, it will be +/- one week work. You have to add bi/ to all paths in the text files and you'll have to pack all sky textures, all strategy map water textures, all strategy map feature models & textures all vegetation textures, sprites and .vege files, e.t.c.

Oh ok. Didn't know it was so much work.

Unfortunately I don't have the time. I work a regular job now since finishing university last year,
Damn real life....

I made a new version, there aren't many changes, I only did some small adjustments to textures and tweaked the Cretan archers.

The link in the first post has been updated.

@DVK901, this version is probably the final version of my work on the environments, so could you port it to RSIII? btw: could you also make this a sticky thread?
