Zeph's Khwarezm Shahdom mod v1.0 available..

[Alderon]

hi, i installed it but when i go to the grand campaign the new factions dont appear. The normans, papal states and saxons appear though...when i click on either one of these it sends me back to the menu. can you help me please?

[NaptownKnight]

same here, back to windoes after starting a campaighn

[Duke Gibbons]

I tried starting a grand campaign game as well with the Teutonic Order and I also experienced a CTD. I guess this is what is referred to as a "currently" unplayable game (mod).

[Zephrelial]

Allright guys..The mod needs to be installed into the vanilla folder which is:

Programfiles/SEGA/Medieval II Total War

when you run the installation of the mod,the default directory that the installer displays is also like this.But just to make sure check manually that the directory is right.

Yesterday I uploaded the missing captain portraits on the auto-resolve screen,fixed that.

Do you mean the Kwarezm princesses being pink or every other princesses being pink?
For now Kwarezm don't have a princess but in the descr_sm factions file in the data folder find the line :

Can have princess yes change the yes to no.I will fix that also when I get home but you may do it manually until I upload it with quick update.

UPDATE:I have discovered a problem with the mod installer,when the mod is installed an extra battlemodels.modeldb takes place in the data folder of mtw 2.This may be the cause of the problem(campaign CTD)
So the ones who have CTD when trying to play campaign go to your Programfiles/SEGA/Medieval II Total War/Data directory find there the file : "Battlemodels.modeldb" and delete it.If you can't handle that yourself I will notify you when the upload is finished and you may redownload to fix the problem.

Ok Just finished uploading ...

Hi Zeph. Great mod but there's some problems with it.
I get a ctd everytime i try to engage a timurid army. So i'm forced to quit my current campaign as kingdom of jerusalem(Timurids all around me but i cannot fight them as i get ctd)
I also realised that the new muslim faction, kh....(forgot the name), when i click on a captain, not general, on the campaign map, the entire portrait is pink.
Other than that, great mod. I love your new knights for kingdom of jerusalem.

kelvintyk,to fix the problem about the portrait of a captain,I released a patch for the mod to fix the problem.It is here:

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=1277

And for the timurid problem.It's really strange.I will try that with Kingdom of Jerusalem and see if I get ctd too.

hi Zephrerial i have question , i download second update i mean pacth 1.2 i just wanna know this mod i mean shahdom mod is work with it or not thanks

hello Pouya NaptownKnight said to me that the mod is compatible with the patch v1.2.
He also downloaded and installed the patch v1.2.According to what he said there isn't compatibility problems with the patch(Shahdom of Khwarezm mod)

Me again...I just want to say that Turkish generals have Kwarezim cavalary as bodyguards(i think i said it before, but just to say it again for sure).Also sometimes whn this happens, seems turkish generals are invisible.Crusader knights, that you can recruit during active crusade are invis, only their horses show.They also lack unit/descript card.

I have noticed Turks lack many of units before 1200.I understand now its becouse of divided eras, thats cool.But is it possible for Osmanliye (Ottoman Empire) to have azabs and saracen militia at early era? They seem very underpowered at early start, Egyptian have saracen militia i think at early era.

Shahdom of Khwarazem have some awsome units, should i say overpowering units at early era,one just need convert one town to Castle or capture one castle from rebels, ohhh, than Khwarzemirs kick ass, at least in my games they hold they ground, even against Mongols.Mongols avoid them and go for Jerusalem right away and establish themself from there.Whn playing as Turk I conquer nicosia settlement and give it to KoJ, so i ensure they dont get whiped out and my reletions with them increase.They dont attack me, very good relations.

Can you script it that Mongols appear both in Russia and near Bagdad area?
Also i noticed that Mongols have now muslims portraits...why change it to that, in vanilla they had unic portraits...looking very asiatic.

Also, since every turn is two years i noticed,would you consider decrese buildnig time on some buildings? Maybe increase unit recruitment slots as well?Its something to consider at least.

Hope you and your brother fix your issues soon, I have older brother myself.Usually its my temepeer that getts us in fights sometimes, its ok,happenes,wait for cool down and just take care of eachother

GaziHusrev Beg I also noticed the problems regarding the Turkish bodyguard displayed as Shah Bodyguard and also the missing textures of the general at battle.
The lacking of the unitcards of Teutonic Raiders and Crusader Knights.Last night at late time I fixed those problems.And will update the patch very soon(yet again).Don't worry about them they're already fixed.
The Mongol portraits being muslim?Actually in the vanilla the mongols,moors,turks,egypt they all use the portraits from middle_eastern folder ui
I haven't intentionally changed that.Actually as you say the reason for the appearing of the units are related to the Zeph's Eras and General mod features.
As you may have realized the developers(CA) made the Early period of The Turks faction units based on cavalry.There are only azabs available for infantry.The Turks have their strong High Period units during the High period which is approximately by the year 1212 of mtw2 game.
So I based the appearing of the units according to the VANILLA custom battle periods.(Early,High and Late)
I intend to script that the Mongols will appear from Sarkel.And Timurids from either Baghdad or Erevan.Because the probability of Mongols and Timurids being able to appear in all those regions put too much pressure on the middle-eastern based factions.
Suppose both the Mongols and Timurids appear from either Erevan and Baghdad.Their route is middle-east.This will be unbalancing.The Russians will have a nice fine campaign.While Jerusalem,Turks,Khwarezm and Egypt will have a hard time with both Mongols and Timurids.
About the building time decreasements.They could be changed.I need to give it a good thought first.A good point the buildings of a huge city takes very long time.
In my campaign with Spain I completely constructed a city including all the buildings in the year 1440 or something like that.Immensely long time.

I know alot of people have found some problems and now i have another to add, it might just be on my version coz no one else has spotted it but for some reason i can recruit generals bodyguard for reasons unkown to me and I can't retrain my Generals bodyguards for that reason.

Thanks in advance.
By the way I have seen the textures for Teutonic order mod and the Kingdom of Jerusalem mod they look great. Good work.

I see what you mean Arnyboy.But note that the general unit can not be retrained unless for armour or weapon upgrade.
The numbers of the Generals bodyguard unit members replenish over time.
However,I see what you mean about not being able to retrain the bodyguard unit.That's a little complicated bug I'm going to fix it soon I hope.
Thank you for your report.Thank you about the textures.

Can you please give some screenshots?

[Gazi Husrev-Beg]

Awsome...thanks for quick update Zeph.

For Mongols I could swear I have seen different portraits in vanilla, but i must be wrong, I might have been thinking on first MTW game, there Mongols had their own portraits.

I have noticed that Khwarezem cavalary have attack 10.12 and defence 13, isnt that bit low for such cavalary, by what i heared, they were one of the best cavalary in east.Their armor needs some tweaking i think.

Also thing i forgot, last time Kharezmirian diplomat portrat was just blue slot...

[Ieuano]

well thats conveinient, i was just about to winge about the ctd!!!

[Zephrelial]

Right now I have my Khwarezm mod working probably something wrong happened when I compiled the files with installer.So I will use my own mod to fix the problem.
Don't you worry this will be fixed.

[Zephrelial]

Can someone please send me a VANILLA descr_cultures.txt file?It's important for me to fix the mod.
it is located in Programfiles/SEGA/medieval II total war/data folder

[WTFM-GzZ]

I have a question

my Kingdom of Jerusalem army (20 unit all cav) go to attack Khwarezm city Baghdad

why only to be able to move small distance?

u see.....

[Axeman]

Ok I get CTD when I try and run it at all. it shows hte loading screen and then goes back to desktop.....

[Axeman]

Ok nvm just saw you updated it, I will try it out

as soon as so many people stop downloading it lolz, says too many people downloading =p

[Axeman]

For your next factions you should add Flanders, Georgia, and the Volga-Bulgars,Kievian Rus, Cumans, *just listing off alot of factions lolz*

[Axeman]

I know this sounds stupid but I cant even figure out how to get it out of bigupload, its user interface is so retarted , there is no acess code anywere and I dont think I should have to buy anything to download this mod, is there anyway you could host it somewhere else.

You don't need to pay for it axeman,just choose the free download of the download options list on the bottom right of the download list(it says pay-pal etc.)
Then you will wait your download ticket,there is a countdown you wait about max 10 seconds.
Lastly you will prompted to type the same characters they show you (write in CAPITAL letters) and then you will be able to download.
I hosted in Filefront but somehow It was corrupted and many people suffered CTD because of this and I lost a whole day and nearly my mind,thats why it's now in rapidshare.

[Ieuano]

your going to hate me but i still get a CTD

this is what i thing the problem is (from the system log)

[Zephrelial]

So leuano you redownloaded from rapidshare and you still get a CTD?

I am dumbfounded perphaps I'm gonna pull the mod off if it carries on like this. Go to the descr_sm factions change the Mongols culture from "mongolian" to "middle_eastern" save and try again.
