    Default A huge favour (anybody who has TATW installed)

    I was just curious if anybody would be kind enough to do me a huge favour and upload a zipped version of TATW 3.2 somewhere for me to download?

    I use a mac and it's a real headache trying to open the .exe's in the installer, despite the mod otherwise working near perfectly once installed (apparently).

    Obviously the mod stopped being updated back in 2012, so it's not surprising they didn't make the installer mac compatible, but it's a really simple fix for a windows user (copy, zip & upload TATW folder), whereas on a mac it's a far more complex process to get the .exe's to open.

    As in patch 3.2?
    Or 3.0 + 3.2? Because that is almost 7 gigs, so doubt anyone will solve that.

    Others got it to work with installer though; http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post14809755

    I was after 3.0 + 3.2, badly phrased on my behalf. The file size isn't a massive deal to work around, you just split the upload/download into parts like the creators did with 3.0. Easy enough for me to merge them into one folder afterwards but the 7gb size just means uploading the files would take a while (why it's a HUGE favour haha).

    Regarding the link to the thread you posted, I've dealt with wine before, and found it very unintuitive, and have also partitioned my hard drive in the past (ironically trying to play this mod and others like it on mac before the feral port of m2).

    Having waited until 2016 just for m2 to finally be ported to mac it seems kind of dumb if every user has to effectively set up windows on their computer to play the mod, not because any of the content won't work on mac, but just because the creators decided to compress the file as .exe rather than .zip.

    Having done a quick search, there are actually multiple upload sites that will let you upload 10gb+ files/folders to share for free, so the 7GB size shouldn't really cause any problems except for a slow upload time.

    I've linked a site that lets people upload files up to 20gb to share, so if anybody is kind enough to help me out, you just need to head there to upload the zipped file (and post the link here after so I can find it).

    I have a fast connection and maybe could do it, I probably still have the 3.0 or/and 3.2 in my HD so...

    But I don't understand which is your problem, and why you need this (safety restrictions for exe files? unable to open big exe files in mac?), as well as I doubt whether my windows installer is the same as the Mac installer.

    A quick screenie to clarify what I'm after (using Age of Petty Kings Mod to demonstrate).



    I would be after the .zip folder that I am compressing here, but for TATW, not AOPK.

    The request is not for the installers/.exe's reuploaded, but that you have TATW installed and then zip the entire (installed) folder and upload

    If you could that would be amazingly helpful to me and I'd really appreciate it.

    To clarify my problem, .exe files just can't be opened using a mac unless you set it up to run a windows OS (by partitioning the hard drive or using a windows emulator like wine). Nothing to do with safety or file size, just an annoying setback to being a mac user.

    All the .exe installer does is make sure the files go in the right folder when you open it, as opposed to a .zip file, where the files have to be copy/pasted or dragged into the M2TW mod folder manually. I am just after the actual files, after they have been extracted from the .exe folder.

    If you already have TATW 3.0 both parts and TATW 3.2 downloaded, then why don't you go to one of your friends who has Windows instead of MaC, and install TATW into some Newly created folder, and later just zip/rar it, and take it on a USB with you?

    I figured it would be more beneficial for everybody else who owns a mac and wants to play the mod without having to set up windows on their computer or jump through the kind of hoops you are describing, if some kind soul took 2 mins out of their day to zip the folder already sitting on their computer and upload it to the internet in a format any mac user can download and install.

    Ok, if what you want is just the mod, installed, I guess that doesn't affect license of the game (that you'd still have to have) or any other issues. I hope the mods will tell me NO if I am not allowed.

    I have zipped my TATW folder, and will upload it tomorrow afternoon/evening if I don't get a NO from someone. It weights about 4.2 GB only and I guess it shouldn't be too long to upload.

    I have some doubts about if it will work, for the installation may be directing processes to MTW II directories and in my spanish PC they go to the spanish language folder C:\Juegos\Medieval II Total War\mods.

    I don't think TWC itself has the capacity for single downloads of that size (4.2 GB), so when and if you do this tomorrow, you might have to upload your zip file to a place like Google Drive, MEGA uploads, or some other site with easy access for BingBangBong to just download the zip file from there.

    BingBangBong...I like that name, by the way. Clearly you listen to a Korki Buchek, number one singer in all of (fictional Borat universe) Kazakhstan!

    Thanks a lot Jose! I'll be sure to keep my eye on the forum tomorrow so I don't miss it.

    Roma is probably right that you'll have to upload it to some other site and provide a link.

    And Roma how could anybody not love Korki Buchek? Haha.

    Uploading a mod/submod (zipped, as exe or whatever) is fine with TWC rules. Variety of existing links and types of uploads is desirable.

    There are some users who live in countries where they can't download from ModDB, Gamefront etc, even Google Drive..

    Well, I for one was unaware that there were TATW fans from North Korea lurking about in these parts.

    I would make a joke here, but I think the noble people of Kazakhstan have suffered enough ridicule due to Borat.

    Plus, none of those people look like an actual Kazakh person:

    Funny that you mention North Korea.. even South Koreans are not allowed to download from GameFront, along with North Korea, Argentina and many others: http://forums.filefront.com/announce...whitelist.html

    Thanks for the additional explanations. I was thinking of using the suggested https://www.myairbridge.com/en/ , since i don't have any preference.

    Max size for uploads on TWC is 100mb so this would indeed have to be uploaded elsewhere and it's permitted to provide alternative download links as long as you don't claim ownership and the team doesn't forbid it.
