@baron
do you maybe have access to another pc, where you can test if it works there?
I know it may sound far fetched, but i had once a similar problem between my desktop and my laptop with TVB.

@4zumi No, I only have the one computer.

@Baron ok personally my best option would be to get the game on Steam, in your Steam library go to 'Games' at the top, then 'activate product on Steam' and put in your Kingdom's CD key and you get a free copy of the game on Steam

This option worked perfectly for me thank you!

@Dragour +rep for the solution

@4zumi +rep for the mod

[♔atthias♔]

I finally manged to download your mod and now this

getting a medieval II encountered an unspecified error message when trying to launch the game
launching als administrator led to the cannot find medieval2.exe error

is this the log you need/want?

@atthias

oh noes

but thats the wrong log

look where the medieval2 exe is located, the you will find the right log and post the last few lines, we will see if there is a solution.
At this point I suspect that there is a problem with the bat file working for the cd version. I suspect you are using the cd version?

Open up the provided bat with a editor notepad or something like this
delete everything in there and put this in instead:

cd ..\..
kingdoms.exe @mods\banana\medieval2.bananas.cfg

then try if it starts, otherwise post the log i mentioned above

[♔atthias♔]

sorry for the late response

I am using steam on windows 10

here are the last few lines of the log set to trace

error log form the new crash not much changed I guess or do you need the trace one?

EDIT do they need to be tin the data folder or in the data/text folder? I put them in the first

[Dragour]

The data folder itself, and not sure if it's mentioned but maybe set those files to 'read only' as well?

[♔atthias♔]

I will do that thank you

[4zumi]

Yeah, I would need the trace. As the normal log indicates no error.
But I have the feeling that it will stop again at the derscr_names.txt.

Maybe the read only thing helps, let me know if that worked.

same issue even after the read only thing

[4zumi]

ok, next try would ne, delete the names.txt.strings.bin in the txt folder to let the game built it up again.
and could you send me your descr_names.txt so i can have a look at it

[♔atthias♔]

that trick with the bin file did not help sadly

here is the descrnames.txt

[4zumi]

I will have a look and see if I can find the issue that plagues some people here.

Meanwhile you could try a clean Medieval 2 install, maybe that works.
Or hopp over to Total Vanilla Beyond 3.3.3 if you manage to download it and have some fun there

I will get back to you

[4zumi]

OK, it is a shot in the dark.
I removed the entries for normans and saxons, maybe that was the issue
take this and replace the old file

http://www.mediafire.com/file/2223g3...names.txt/file

[Dragour]

@Atthias, since you last installed a clean copy of Medieval 2 (disc or steam?) have you added or removed any mods? Some mods alter the files in the base game and make other mods unplayable sadly

[♔atthias♔]

should still be a clean steam copy aside from my own modification to the export buildings and export units files

@4zumi thanks I will try that

[♔atthias♔]

still did not work sadly


shall I try verifying MTW2 files although I doubt it will do much sine it is a clean one aside from my own modifications

[Holy Crow]

Smooth, rich mod! But...why does the Teutonic Order has Mongol / North American Indian voices?!
