EB installation validation

[Aquilae]

I just ran the validation program,and the results are:
Missing file: .\data\packs\patch_1.pak
About 20 changed files,and scores of added files.On top of this analisys,there is this message: "You seem to have a corrupt install. There are changes to files, or some are missing.
However, these may be conscious changes you have made, to remod EB. See below for details."
What must I do?

quick question:

"_ Using RTW Gold? Try to uninstall everything and do not install BI"

I have RTW Gold with BI...does this mean I can't play with BI installed?

[bovi]

No. It means some people have had problems which were resolved by not installing BI. Many others have no problems at all with it.

After just downloading EB again for the 3rd time and not adding any mods to it other than the fixes,i ran this validation program and received the same message....

I installed patch v1.5 for RTW then I installed EB but when I clicked on EB's desktop icon vanilla RTW turned on >:(

Updated, new solutions.

now this doesn't seem to look good, does it?

I installed Rome Total War from the cd, then patch 1.3 then patch 1.5. Installed Alexander and then EB 1.0 and applied known 1.0 fixes.

So you are basically saying I can't run EB on the ALX.exe? Well, in that case you should have a peek at the unofficial mods section where among other things an entire thread dedicated to the combination of ALX.exe & EB resides...

Note though that running EB on anything else than standard, clean RTW 1.5 is not supported.

Hey, i just got EB, and i try to start the campaign, and it CTDs, so i went and got all the permanent fixes, and it still CTDs, so i ran this and it says

Missing file: .\data\packs\patch_1.pak

followed by lots of changed and added files
i did have a clean rtw install 1.5 (i have rtw gold, and i checked in options and it says 1.5 on vanilla)
and i use to have RTR but i moved it out of the folder, so idk if it left something in the data files, or what, can anyone help?

[Tellos Athenaios]

It's quite possible that RTR Gold or whatever other mod you had before that one is the 'culprit'. If that's the case, a simple re-install of your RTW 1.5 + EB would do 'the trick'.

[Flip_Side]

Ok, I'll try and let you know,
this will be the 3rd time reinstalling it all
do i need to remove ALL the folders with anything to do with the other mod, or rtw?

[Flip_Side]

Ok well i got the game to start working, and i played for about 3-4 turns as rome, till i got a CTD, gonna try a diffrent fraction and maybe ill have better luck :)
(amazing game btw, for the 2-3 battles i got to do)

I thought you had to install 1.2 before 1.3?

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

I thought you had to install 1.2 before 1.3?

Nope, you can go straight to 1.3, but not straight to 1.5.

I have tried to download your installation validation program, but my Firefox keeps on telling me that there is an error while loading the page. Is it just me or the program is no longer there? Thank you!

[bovi]

It works for me. Perhaps you've upgraded your Firefox into something that doesn't work? Does it work if you paste the link into Internet Exploder? How about SmartFTP?

[Tellos Athenaios]

Works fine in Mozilla Firefox 2.0...



EDIT: Just left click the link 'program' ...

[Augustus Ceasar]

can we put the new release on the EB 1.0?
Because I can't stop my party :s :s !!!!

[bovi]

Be careful not to *frumple*. Would you like to *party*? *Happy camper*?

(If you don't get the reference, I mean that I have no idea what you're talking about)

[bovi]

Updated, items that are no longer relevant for 1.1 are striked.

[Augustus Ceasar]

I mean can I put EB 1.1 on my EB 1.0? because I can't play an other party; to long, I will be 80 years old when I will finish this game...

[bovi]

Oh, no. You need to install 1.1 in a clean 1.5 RTW. And your savegames are not compatible.

[Augustus Ceasar]

So I have to do a other campaign???!!
For a few spanish!!!!!
no wayyyy

[bovi]

Dude, noone is forcing you to upgrade. Also, enjoyment is not compulsory.

Additionally, you can have both installed at the same time. Just copy the whole RTW folder somewhere, copy and update the shortcut. Voila: a duplicate 1.0 installation.

[Augustus Ceasar]

Yes, sure! but it's mean two campagns so 160 years to finish EB
But you are right I will not upgrade it... at my shame.
EB are realy the best mod. Now I am waiting for EB II !!!

[bovi]

Updated, new solution.

Help, i have a big issue. I've downed the last build of EB (1.1), instaled it on clean RTW 1.5, but it simply doesn't work. When i execute it, it opens the regular RTW with no modifications at all, and when i run the installvalidation thing, it says that i have a corrupt install, but there are no files missing. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it form scratch about 12 times, but it always come up to the same. what can i do?

[Foot]

Either install the Trivial Script or

right-click on the shortcut for EB and go to properties. In the target line add

-mod:eb

at the very end after the quotation marks.

That should start up the mod, though it is better to install the Trivial Script. If it doesn't work then it likely means that you've installed the mod in the wrong place. Make sure it has the exact same directory listings as RomeTW.exe.

[Edemos Malleus]

Thanks man :D
It worked after i added the -mod:eb
Best mod i've ever seen.
Carpe diem.
