Play By Email Multiplayer/Hot Seat Campaign - Release

[Remise]

That was quick, and thanks! We have played several MTW PBEM campaigns (with and without DartMod, btw) and enjoyed it, but our interests are really in earlier time periods, so your work is a great boon to our gaming.

It might be that my faction was switched because in fact my opponent had also run the generator, and we will remember if there are more of us to make sure we all have the same file.

Thanks again.

ow right i never knew do u know were i could get the hotseatmultiplayer for mtw2 ? thnx again :)

[Remise]

Well, if you get MTW II: Kingdoms, it comes with that (I am pretty sure), but I also think that the most recent patch included the hotseat option. You might want to visit the Total War forums and look around, or maybe someone here will post more information.

[Myrddraal]

I would suggest asking in the Citadel. They know everything about M2TW in there

I'm using RTW Gold (Vanilla+BI) with Rome Total Realism Mod.


I've started new game with romans (in RTR there's only one roman faction - in data files as romans_julii).
I've generated script for 2 players romans_julii, macedon
Script looks good - there isn't any misspeling and its finely divided into two parts (I suppose it's like it should be)
The rest is done like in tutorial

(note: RTR has different descr_strat.txt file - the original isn't overwritten. I've used the faction order of RTR's file)

After I click help button in shortcut scroll the game dies. The window just disappears (with no - even instant - instability).

Is there any chance for me to run Multiplayer on my moded Rome, or do I have to chose between Realism and Multiplayer?

Hello,

I have a question to you, because the srcipt generator doesnt work. He doesnt make a file in C so i could not play. Or I make something wrong? Could you help me please? Than you.

Sry for my bad English...

How to play more than 1 Roman faction in MP mode. I wanted to play all three roman factions, but it CTD after the Scipii's turn. In order to stop that from happening, you will need to edit the descr_strat.txt. In the file, all 4 roman factions are defined first, their settlements and such. You will need to cut and past the Brutii down a couple factions. Then do the same with the Scipii. So that none of the 3 roman factions are next to each other when they are defined.

Hello Myrddraal. Thanks for looking this up.
I tried the script generator, with the romans_julii, greek_cities and Egypt, and it creates a script on my harddrive ( C:).
Where do I need to place this text? Just leave it on C, or do I place it inside the Rome -folder?
Then I start the game, but I can only select one faction to play with. So i start this campaign, but I can only play as the romans. The advisor doesn't pop up when I press the ? -on the help scroll.
Thanks.

[Myrddraal]

Hi there lsteve,

It's not enough to run the script generator. You also need to follow the instructions in the first post of this thread:

[cmjl]

ok i followed the instructions to the "t" and now my game starts up for like 5 sec. shuts down on me i dont even get to the menu to try and start a campaign

can anybody help me

[emotion_name]

OK, i generated the script as instructions said!

All seemed to work fine, but when i look in C:Drive there is no script there, even though the generator says it has been generated!

Hidden files and folders are set to view, any ideas why it hasnt worked?


Myrddraal, if i manage to get this generated properly, would you mind if i tried modding it further to get more diplomatic options, like sending units to allies as gifts etc!

[Total-War-Guy]

Hi,

I simplay can't run the script editor, everytime I'm told:
"C:\WINXP\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT is not valid to run a MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows aplication."

Can someone just send me the script, or does it have to be generated for every pc one again?

[emotion_name]

Hmmmm, i think we must have missed the boat, so to speak!

This thread is old now, and no-one is swinging by to offer help anymore!

I still cant find where this generated script is, it says its on C: as HotseatScript but when i look it isnt there.

Ive typed the EXACT name into search and it says there is nothing on my cpu with that name!

All hidden files and folders are set to view!

Goddamn me for being a late comer to RTW, by the time i discovered hotseat no-one else round here seems interested, and i got a load of mates who do wanna play and no way of getting the bloody script!


SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! WHY CANT I FIND THE GENERATED SCRIPT?

[emotion_name]

Well, i finally sorted one problem and wandered straight into another!

For anyone who cant find the script when generated, ill tell you what i did.

I use Vista, a load of crap but meh, anyways, im an admin on my computer, but with script generator i still need to RIGHT click on it and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. As long as i do that it generates the script exactly as it should!

Hope that helps clear some things up for some people!


Now my problem is i cant get the advisor to appear when i click the ? icon. If i pause it and click the ? icon on top right of the pause menu, the advisor appears, but on shortcuts menu it doesnt!

I checked the triggers, and it all seems to be fine, there is no ; (semi colon??) before it.

So i was wondering if i could add the line to the text that deals with the pause menu advisor instead of the shortcuts advisor?

If i can and it will still work, does anyone know which area of the text file this is located under!

Im guessing something like Help_Advisor_UI_Pause_Menu for the gamearea_campaign, but i would like to be sure before going ahead and fiddling with it!


Hopefully, if this karma idea is right, i have helped someone so now someone will help me!

[jryan]

i have a problem. everytime i load the script generator and finish generating the script for my hotseat game and open rome tw, it crashes! i dont know whats wrong and im confused.

[jryan]

sorry my mistake. i made a typo in the script. it all works fine. thanks Mydraal!!

[Saxman]

Hi all,
thanky you for that nice Script.

We have a problem. We are 3 player, 2 with german installation and 1 has a english version.

Between the both germans, there are no problems, but if the english one try to load the savegame, he will get allways a CTD.

We all use fresh Vanilla 1.5. In germans version the quicksave file is calles "savegame...." in english its "quicksave....". We tryed to rename the german file into the english, but it also doesnt work.

Do we need to use all the english version to play (we did not test it yet).

Or what can solve this problem?

After downloading the scrpitgen and unzipping it, I get an error message when I attempt to run it:



What is the deal?

Thank you!

[xsithspawnx]

I get the exact same error, and cannot find a solution anywhere. Too bad no one really checks this thread at this point.....

[Myrddraal]

Sorry I didn't get back to you guys. I'm afraid I don't have the source for the generator so I can't recompile it to make a newer version. If compatibility mode doesn't work, I can only suggest you generate the script on a 32 bit system then transfer the script across.

It has worked on my Win7 computer in the past, Are you sure you added that code in Total War\data\export_descr_advice.txt?

Also, if I remember correctly it doesn't pop up a dialog when the script was activated. Is the script working correctly when you end turn?
