    Default Doesn't want to work

    @ Torrnight: I really like the look of your mod and tried to download it from primary dl site, doesn't want to download at all. Tried back up dl site and it downloaded, but now it doesn't want to start at all. There are no shortcuts and the batch file doesn't want to start it either. Can you help? Thanks in advance!

    The missing shortcuts are an issue with the installer.

    The bat files should work. What happens when you run it. Have you checked your log file?

    Default Re: Doesn't want to work

    @Torrnight:When I run it, the Ms-DOS box flashes up for a milisecond and then nothing. It's too fast to read what it says. I tried putting the config and bat files in the root MTW2 directory as well as running the bat file from where it is installed as default and when I did that it says it can't find the relevant file. Sorry if this is daft question, but where's my log file and how do I check it?

    This is the default log file.
    C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\system.log.txt

    Try this.

    Run cmd.exe from the Start Menu.

    type
    cd "C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\"
    then
    The_Long_Road.bat

    That should help you find out what the batch file is doing.

    It says 'The_Long_Road.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'

    As I mentioned before, putting the batch file and config file in MTW2 root directory doesn't work.

    Ok we have to get past that first. You're not even executing the file.

    type dir after you do the cd command. You should see the The_Long_Road.bat in the list of files. If you don't then you're either in the wrong directory or your files are in the wrong place.
