Btw i put the sounds folder incide the data no music at all I deleted but the same no music at all too.!??

[Basil the Second]

Managed to sort it out, just changed the name of the folder to one of the kingdom mod folders and ran it from steam.
The mod is amazing!

Nico my friend thanks a lot your solution works like a charm and btw the mod is awesome..!

does anyone know how to stop the camera shake effect which happens whenever a gun unit fires?

[oorestis]

I tried installing the mod but it says file corrupt or unreadable papal_coronation.bik

Any ideas?

I also can't play this. It has been half a year now and I don't seem to be getting any help from anyone. I have literally no idea how other people managed to get their installation working but mine still crashes at 8% because of this Papal bug. Neadal has been releasing this mod for years without any issue, in fact one of the reasons his mod was always my favorite was because of the ease in installation compared to other mods out there..so I haven't got the slightest idea on how he managed to mess up his final version's installation before disappearing.

I have done all I could. I have asked everywhere, on moddb there is some guy who made a video on installing it via this forum and so did Neadal claiming the moddb links are broken. I followed their advice. I watched the video, I followed all the instructions to the letter. And yet after several attempts I still crash at installation even though I used the 4 download links plus the sounds here on TWC. They also seem to be broken as they have the Papal bug as well. If there is one thing I've hated about Medieval 2 mods is modder's negligence to the community. I mean...they work so hard to make great mods, and their lack of effort in helping people play it or at least making sure their download procedures are intact is always a major let down.. I was hoping Neadal wasn't part of this group.. once for example I had to download 7 separate files for a Turkish mod which seemed really nice..you follow their instruction written in the only broken English these guys know, and then after you fail installing (obviously) you get 0 help. And it wasn't just me... their mod didn't kick off because thousands of potential players simply gave up trying to get to play it because of this.. in other words, all the work goes down the drain..
Until this matter is resolved with Italian Wars at least, now unfortunately I have been forced to abandon my favorite Medieval 2 mod I have been playing since it's first release for years now> I can't offer you any help, except maybe just be patient.

I was able to solve the papal coronation error by changing to the files from TWC. If you're like me and only replaced the three data files and not the .exe file, i.e. you have .exe from ModDB + the rest from TWC, you will still get the papal coronation error. Make sure you get the .exe from TWC and it should work.

A tip for somebody who doesn't know it (I didn't): in the mod folder there's a subfolder "maps" with maps and an Excel file with units data.

And here is a bonus from me: the list of the Swiss units.

[sullivanclan1]

Will you add more swiss units to the faction?

[Jurand of Cracow]

Nobody is working on the mod, afaik. It such a shame! DIK is so developed, most of the work had been done by Aneirin and his team but then it was dropped (RL issues). I wish somebody would take up his work and polish it in some areas, like it happened to the Broken Crescent expanded by Buff&Shine.

In general, this is a problem of the Medieval mods: they're made in 80% and then left by developers. Only if you've got a dedicated team leader (like Quintus Sertorius for the EBII, or those great guys for TATW submods) you can get a truly polished historical mod.

But with the new TW games it's even worse - you may read in my sig the ideas how to improve the Thrones, for instance. But it seems it won't happen.

could someone give any advice on how to replace the music files of the latest IW release version with the ones of the previous version? because the latest verion replaced all the M2 soundtrack with customs, and I would like to play the latest version but with the old music. Any help would be appreciated

[Elendil 03]

Delete <mod folder>\data\descr_sounds_music.txt and all the .dat and .idx files in <mod folder>\data\sounds and you should be fine.

[Fahnat]

Are this new previews in the mod already or will be released in the future?

[Aneirin]

These new previews aren't included in the mod yet, but surely will be released some time

[FlacoChe]

My installation was corrupt and I got this message.

File Corrupt or unreadable:
data/settlements\middle_eastern\settlements\city\middle_eastern_city_a.world

Is there a fix? I've installed this many times. Thanks

[delmat]

first of all big thanks to the creators of this excellent mod! and second guys use the download links only from TWC (not ModDB) and you should avoid corrupted installation, I tried that and it worked for me.

[Xamax]

"Not included content:

Events: Events for all newly added factions
Scripts: Condotta-Script"

where can I find the latest version of the mod? Tell me please

[Xaldin96]

The creator, Aneirin, hasn't released it yet...

[Xaldin96]

Any news?

This response is very very late, but I got this issue too and figured out what the cause was. If you, like me, have M2TW on steam, when you are installing, the exe will default towards pointing the mod at the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Italian_Wars in your Program Files folder instead of your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\Italian_Wars directory. This is what causes the papal_coronation.bik file to be corrupt (I assume it's because that file is installed using resources from elsewhere in M2TW which of course are not present in the SEGA directory. You will need to replace that directory with your steam mod directory, and it will install correctly.
