DOWNLOAD
INSTALLATION:
1- Extract to your Medieval II Total War\mods.
2- Go to the new folder RC_v07 in your Medieval II Total War\mods.
3- Use the "Executable" batch file to launch the mod.
4- Play and have fun.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:
In video options choose the native resolution of your monitor (or whatever res you have set your desktop) and exit game. Then open Configuration.cfg with a text editor (preferably Notepad++) and you'll see this part:
[video]
event_movies = 0
movies = 1
windowed = 0 ## Windowed mode (windowed = 1) is usually more stable
borderless_window = 1
no_background_fmv = 0
show_banners = 1
# widescreen = 1
# unit_detail = high
# grass_distance = 9000
Change windowed = 0 to windowed = 1 (remember to save the changes)
(borderless_window = 1 will keep it in full screen while being in windowed mode)
CULTURAL BATTLE MUSIC FIX:
There is an odd bug with the Battle Music where it would always play the music from the same music set, so the music sets are all using the same battle music. In the mod's main folder there is one called CULTURAL BATTLE MUSIC FIX. Inside it there are 3 different folders with different music sets, go to the folder you want and copy/paste all the files to the sounds folder, in the data folder, and replace when asked. The default one is the Crusader Battle Music, so if that's what you want, no need to do anything.
How to create a shortcut to launch the mod from your desktop:
- Go to RC_v07 folder, right click on the Executable file and chose "Create shortcut" and move the shortcut to the desktop.
- Copy/paste the icon that is also in RC_v07 folder to the desktop.
- Right click on the shortcut you created, chose properties and "Change icon...", then chose "Browse..." and then chose Desktop, you should have the icon there, just chose the icon.
- Rename your shortcut to whatever you want, for example: Regnum Caelorum
- You can now launch the mod always from your desktop.
