EB 1.2 MINI MOD PACK!

[Septimius]

After appreciating an easier than normal install I decided to start with a quick historical battle, but to my regret my legionnaires looked thus :




https://img169.imageshack.us/img169/3308/rometwalx20080630184343sr9.th.png (https://img169.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rometwalx20080630184343sr9.png)





Know what might cause this, I play with unit size on huge, could it be related to the formations mod?


EDIT: It is not a static pose, they phase in and out of it often looking normal but returning to this macabre stance when I move the camera about. I´ve also experienced something similar with a unit of cavalry but strangely enough only one unit out of four was affected - on the contrary all legionnaires were equally bugged but seems to be the only type of infantry afflicted by this.


:eeeek:

Looks like something out of Pink Floyd's "The Wall"

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

I have a question. How can I disable the CityMod without reinstalling?

[||Lz3||]

I have those files already , but you can start a campaign right now and then remove CityMod

I just have to check them, to make sure everything is alright with -will take me about 10-15 min-

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

Alright, so you will upload them when they're ready as an optional download?

Thanks then. I'll check here later, then.

[||Lz3||]

Done... look at the Notes Section :2thumbsup:

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

Ha ha! Now it is time to start ze rampage! Thank you Lz3!

[TWFanatic]

Balloons for Lz3:balloon2::balloon2::balloon2:

Lovin' these minimods, thanks for grouping them all together. Saves a lot of people a lot of time.:yes:

[TWFanatic]

You say you have included "Roman Allied Legions; by konny," but I have the ALEX version and this minimod is not included.

?¿ :huh: ??

I did forgot to add the legions name when I uploaded the files :sweatdrop:

but the other things in allied legions should be there... like only be able to recruit romans in rome...

you can get the legionary names if you wish though , they are located in the notes section

for the next release I'll do an installer to avoid all this mess of links ... and fix these small errors :sweatdrop:

[TWFanatic]

OK, thanks. I'll try to figure out how to do legion names.

[||Lz3||]

just download the file (EDU) located in the notes section , if you like to do thing manually (as myself :P) you need to add
legionary name at the end of the atributes (not sure if that's the name but it's the same line that says "can sap , can hide bla bla") of the desired units -allied troops -

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

There seems to be another issue, L3z. I can't uninstall the Allied Legions even with your "No Allied Legions & No City Mod" file; I would like to go back to Normal Recruitment, of course.

sorry :sweatdrop: a silly mistake in my part ,

I updated the link though :sweatdrop:

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

Thanks again. I will give you satalexton's baloon :P.

:balloon2:

[Bassie]

ummm... thats weird... I dont know what that has to do with anything :sweatdrop: , anyways I'm glad that it worked , but just to be sure... I suggest you to enter your export_descr_unit(EDu) and look for "first cohort" and look if somewhere in that block of text there's a "officer, aquila..."

EDIT: Now the RTW.exe version is working as intended :P

Hi Lz3 and other

Have the same problem as mentioned by Bigmilt. In intro/start screen EB crashes.:furious3:

Already installed fresh RTW1.5 and EB1.1. As mentioned by Bigmilt did run EB1.1 few turns and updated preferences. then installed Mini Mod.

Check what you wrote in the quota and I don't see any "officer, aquila.." but the files = the file in your .rar. I check it.

Please help :help:
Bassie

PS use Vista (without any problems in RTW, RTR, EB1.1 etc)

umm well those post are waaaaay old :P they are from the first pack (which had some troubles) the ones that are available to download now should be working cause.. well after 150 downloads only you have had the problem :sweatdrop:

did you had the fixes? umm try to download (and use) the RTW backup files , then apply the fixes, and check if it works, if it does then use the desired pack

hope it works:2thumbsup:

[Bassie]

Ok, will install RTW1.5 en EB1.1 again and download the pack again. lets try.

Thx bassie

[ziegenpeter]

Uhm, is there anything I have to pay attention to, if I'm playing with ALX.exe? And where can I find the "notes" or the files mentioned above?:help:

[||Lz3||]

in the first post

you can find there a version especifically made for alex exe too :2thumbsup:

[bigmilt16]

any way this can be made compatible for BI?

[||Lz3||]

If you mean if it can run on BI without ANY extras... that could be done easily... but If you wish to add especial bi features... it will take way more time than what I have ...(and well I dont even own Bi :sweatdrop:)

you still did not fix it did not you?

I installed your great mod yesterday but just tried today and there is no legion names .sorry.. :thumbsdown:

I started to paly with alex.exe since today although it is said save game compitable.
it is not.

also your last pack is also.....

anyway, you had a good combination of most familiar mods that ı reaaly become happy to use all of them .

so what is advice to code each unit one by one or to copy paste konny's mod seperately on your mod.

:help:

P.S. Please I beg you, do not say I did not add this codings. plz...


STEP I:
Edit 3 files
a) Go - ''Rome - Total War folder/eb/data/export_descr_character_traits.txt''
Open the file and add the Immortal description at the end of trait section! That should look like this:


;------------------------------------------
;Trait: CeasesAmbassador
; o Ceases_Ambassador (1):

Trait CeasesAmbassador
Characters diplomat
AntiTraits Ambassador

Level Ceases_Ambassador
Description Ceases_Ambassador_desc
EffectsDescription Ceases_Ambassador_effects_desc

Then save!

Then, In the same folder you should make night_battle trrigers back to use!
That should look like this!:

So how do we add the legionary names? I want to know too! :help:

I don't have ALX and I'm using rtw.exe. I downloaded your file and installed the pack. Does that include the legionary name feature or
do I have to add it manually? If so, how?

Thanks!

[Atraphoenix]

I am preparing for the worst reinstalling EB and install konny's mod on it...:whip:

[||Lz3||]

I haven't made the changes in the original files :sorry:

however you can download the moddified EDU in the first post... (in the NOTES section)
I would have "fixed" it already but leaving them out -as I did accidentally the first time- makes it easier for me to create "disable this, disable that..." files , and also some don't like the legions name , so I just left them out hehe , Konny's recruitment is still in there though (course...you'll only notice id you're romani >.>)

ALex.exe is NOT savegame compatible ...it will surelly mess up your current games -there's a possibility that this can be SGC ...but I don't have the time , no the will power hehe to do it any volounters?-

EDIT- alex version pack DOESNT mean you have to have alexander EB at all! xD , you dont need to do any coding to get this working with alexander , you don't even need to enter the alexander EB thread , those changes are included in here already, the ONLY thing you need to have is alexander CA -Creative asembly- alexander expansion

[Maximus Dominicus]

@Lz3 - Sorry to be a pain mate :juggle2: but which file exactly under notes section do I need to download? I see lots. Sorry man...

Would the be above the "Romani Legionary name etc..." (bullet) or after?

[||Lz3||]

look for this in the NOTES section :sweatdrop:

Romani legions are missing their legionary names, (save-game compatible, only affects if you're playing romani)
below that click on the "show" button and there you should find 2 versions ...one for players without TWFanatic hoplites , and one for the guys who have it... then clic on the "show" button next to the version you have (with or without phalanx mod) and use one of the download links -alex if you're using alex and... rtw if you're using RTW

just download and unpack it in your rtw folder

Will this mod work with the Steam version of Alexander?

[Atraphoenix]

thanks for quick reply as I mostly play with pahlava cos I am mad about cavalry :2thumbsup:

so I do not mind it so much my problem is coding torture of Alexander EB that you said you have fully adapted it to your mod.

I like night battles also as ı experinced AI is very good with alex (after thay routed my men by encircling oh men AI encircled me at the first time!)

[Maximus Dominicus]

Hi Lz3

I've got another problem mate :help:

I tried downloading the file in the notes section for Legionary Names. The Alex version downloads ok
but the RTW version doesn't. And I need the RTW version :embarassed:

Everytime I tried to download the RTW version @ LINK://rs11.rapidshare.com/files/127933172/RTW_legion1.rar...
it kept saying ERROR and my IP address is already downloading the file even though I don't :(

Is there anyway you can send me another link where I can download your RTW_legion1.rar file? Can I
use the Alex version eventhough I don't have the alexander?

If all fails, maybe you can just tell me which file/line I need to edit and I'll do it manually.

Many many thanks for your previous replies :2thumbsup:

[||Lz3||]

em nope hehe alex version wont work... since it has the aqulifer in those units

I'll check that link right away...

The thing I originally forgot was to add "legionary name" at the end of the attributes of the italic units in the EDU hehe

On a side note: what? no volounters? :beam:

[Maximus Dominicus]

@||Lz3||

Many many thanks! I'm actually waiting till I get that file before I start my campaign hahaha

I did a fresh install just to try out EB with your mini-mod :smash:

Thanks a lot! (I knew you'd reply @ this time tonight hahaha!)

[||Lz3||]

umm weird I tested the links and they worked :huh: what if you try again just in case? :sweatdrop:

oh and if it doesn't work which file are you interested in? the one with the phalanx mod or without it? :sweatdrop:

[Maximus Dominicus]

The with the phalanx please! ive been tryin since this morning with no luck :(

please upload them...

Oh and did you mean if I dont have alex i wont get the aqulifer??? :(

[||Lz3||]

I'm sorry but.. yes you wont get the aquilifer... (though I got confused when the EB team said they hadn't used all the unit slots, you might want to manually add it -follow the instructions to do so in the phalanx/elephant bla bla thread but don't erase any existing unit to see if it works :beam:)

here's the link in filefron btw :2thumbsup:

HERE (http://files.filefront.com/RTW+legion1rar/;11557865;/fileinfo.html)

[Maximus Dominicus]

YOU ARE THE MAN! :yes:

Is it easy to add them? If not I'm not gonna bother... I'm not that technical nyhahahaha...

Thanks alot!

P.D. Would I get the legion names even without BI or ALEX?

[||Lz3||]

meh it's not that hard and if you mess up you can always just re-unpack my pack -:smash:-and then the legions names files and that should fix anything you may mess up :P

"who dares wins" :P

[||Lz3||]

meh it's not that hard and if you mess up you can always just re-unpack my pack -:smash:-and then the legions names files and that should fix anything you may mess up :P

NOTE: the moddifications in the EDU mentionened in the instructions (in phalanx thread) need to be done in the EDUs located in the SP backup EDU and MP backup EDU otherwise they'll be overwriten hehe

[Maximus Dominicus]

So does that mean I'll edit the file inside SP and just copy paste it to MP? :idea2:

[||Lz3||]

So does that mean I'll edit the file inside SP and just copy paste it to MP? :idea2:

nouP!

I did that mistake in the first pack... <.<

those EDUs are diferent you need to add manually

"officer Aquila" (something lik that) in each EDU

[Maximus Dominicus]

Thank you sir! I'll try and see what happens next mwahahahaha! :laugh4:

[Legosoldier]

I'm sorry but.. yes you wont get the aquilifer...

I added the just added the aquilifer and it works!(I use RTW.exe) Unfortunately I don't have a pic because I don't know how to post one...

I also found all the files needed for the aquilifer already inside models_unit, so it just need some changing in the EDU.

EDIT- I didn't remove any units btw

[ziegenpeter]

HI! is it possible that this mod pack creates a bug which disables buildings giving weapons/armour further than copper?

[||Lz3||]

HI! is it possible that this mod pack creates a bug which disables buildings giving weapons/armour further than copper?

em nope... that's EB fault ... but it's not a bug it was intended by the devs :yes:

[kepta]

Hey mlc82 did you ever have that problem again where it would crash when you looked at certain places on the map, and did you install the no city mod option file without creating a new map.rwm file. Because I had the same problem until i double checked and realized I hadn't because i was used to the files coming with map.rwm files.

Now I'm not sure if i should use that campaign I started before i realized what was wrong, it still works but will probably have more problems later on I guess.

[Atraphoenix]

Is there any way to disable AI retraining with alex.exe?

and which file should I work on?

If you can answer be aprriciated!:help:

[Tellos Athenaios]

Uhm... retraining is part of the AI; incidentally a part that was broken in RTW. ALX is supposed to retrain.

[Atraphoenix]

So I should get used to .... if I want to play with alex..
ok let no one alive!

[OrlaLehmann]

Dear Lz3, would you kindly upload some tweaked files to make it possible to use your great mod pack without DS´s 0.7 roman skins, I would be most grateful if ever you get the time.

I have tried myself and it works in SP, at least with the evocatae and centurions, haven´t got imperial reforms yet, but as soon as I try to change the EDU in the MP backup folder I crash when trying to run the MP exe unless I use the SP EDU there instead which is a shame as I cannot check if the imperial legionnaires are back to normal as they should and cannot really stage battles as I would like to.

[Skandinav]

OrlaLehmann, I´m also using the mod pack without the old legionary skins, PM me and I´ll send you my edited files and we´ll give Lz3 a well-deserved break.

[||Lz3||]

:smash:

why you don't like the oldies??

I find the new ones a lil bit big headed (A LOT!) when I put them by side of the other units hehehe :sweatdrop:

I'm starting to contemplate the idea of adding the new Cohors reformata skins :P

[Demivrgvs]

I don't know if it was ever solved in the original City Mod but vanilla's reform (March of Time) isn't triggered when Rome becomes huge. Playing as Baktria it's a real shame as I'd like to use those lovely Hetairoi Kataphractoi!

Anyway, I'm not sure I like how the roman allied legion part work (I would highly prefer having separate "italic" hastati/princeps/triari units rather than having samnites and bruttians everywhere) but your pack surely is great as it makes very simple to play EB with some of the most important mods! Very good work!

[Skandinav]

:smash:

why you don't like the oldies??

I find the new ones a lil bit big headed (A LOT!) when I put them by side of the other units hehehe :sweatdrop:


Oh, but I like both the new and the old very much, but having played extensively with both I must swear to the new which I find, although a bit bulky and not made in the exactly same style as most EB units, to be the best looking units in the game, the cohors imperatoria and centurions that is. The quality of their textures look like something from between EB and EB II; their knees, elbows, faces and hands are better made than anything I´ve seen before in any mod of RTW and the same credit can be given to all of their equipment, each piece is beautifully rendered, obviously with the greatest attention to historical accuracy, and their helmets ( the plumes stands out as actually resembling hair for once and the metal looks just gorgeous and very realistic ) and swords especially are, again, the best I´ve ever seen from the RTW engine.

[cyberVIP]

Sorry guys if it`s necropost :) but search engine can`t help (maybe cos my hads hehe)

WAD or a minimodpack BUG? -> my pahlava client kingdoms generals (autoborn) has never got "client ruler" trait

[Skandinav]

A common bug with the Client Ruler script and therefore not caused by this mini mod, you will find a lot of threads I´m sure by searching for it, else take a look in the bug forum.
A solution to your problem would be to add the trait manually by the console command give_trait "Firstname middlenameLastname" Type4Governor. Then you just have to find the name of your character in the descr_names file in the EB/data folder, be aware that most names can be found in a few variants, for example with a capitalized letter attached.

[||Lz3||]

WAD or a minimodpack BUG? -> my pahlava client kingdoms generals (autoborn) has never got "client ruler" trait

Necropost?? are you saying this is dead?!?! :inquisitive:

it's probably something related to the client ruler script as skandinav said :sweatdrop:

[Seyduna]

Thank you very much, ||Lz3||. I have been installing EB on my new laptop after months and I was so desperate how to manage all the fixes, mods with alx.exe then I saw your thread. :2thumbsup:

[Gnostiko]

Ok, question time:

Tried to install it before but ended up putting the wrong files in the wrong folders, so just ended up reinstalling everything. Used this (http://rapidshare.com/files/127647949/Alexander_pack2.rar.html) one since it seemed the most 'complete' version (hard to tell which link is meant for who!). Anywho, copied, pasted everything, changed the command line and when I fired the game up I can see a little 'alexander' in the bottom with a golden x, so I'm assuming that's the correct one, ja? Problem though, I can't start a new campaign: I get a 'please select an item from the list message', and if that wasn't weird enough I can still use save games from my previous EB, even though I uninstalled it and checked the 'delete save games' tab. How can I start a new game if it won't let me?

Also, does the aforementioned pack (the files I pasted over) contain the changes to the command stars/ cursus honorum or are the files simply to make EB compatible with Alexander?

[Maksimus]

no it doesnt :)

maybe when ||Lz3|| has more time he will make it compatible

[||Lz3||]

yeh hehe I know... its a hell of a mess

but who doesn't like linkitibinkitis :smash:


now on topic:
:wall: I used to know why that "select an item" message apear but now I can't remember.

so... to be sure this will work I suggest a "reinstall" , but don't get scared :P just downloaad the backup EB files and install them, then go to the eb 1.1 fixes and donwload the Missing sprites fix
then install again my pack :P

that's the basics, now if you would like to change somethin regarding my pack I bealive that I made the most frecuently requested changes :2thumbsup:

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

Did anyone else notice that the combat animations for Roman legionaries misteriously changed? I'm using the Alex pack without the Allied legions, for the matter, and my legionaries get the old vanilla animations instead of the EB ones.

[||Lz3||]

:inquisitive: um?

never noticed...umm ... how so?

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

I don't know, the combat animations for my legionaries suddenly got different, more alike the vanilla ones. They swing their gladii instead of staying behind their shields and keep thrusting their swords, as they should; it's a minor problem but a constant and surprising one.

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

My bad, I was wrong! I had a dosis of suspicion upon it but after running my own tests with unmodded EB I indeed discovered that Camillan units, specifically Camillan Hastati, have different animations from the Polybian gladii armed units which resembles the old vanilla animations more. Thanks for the attention anyway :P.

[Panzer_Sturmovik]

Great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One question is this compatible with the new latest alexeb version?? [ after countless of hours tryin to install the pack probobly not]

I know that Gnostiko is appernelty workingon the cursos honorum of konny is there any chane both of you work together and make it compatible?

[Maksimus]

Hi

I will just shortlly comment on the List of used minimods to help out my friend ||Lz3|| in future releases of this ussefull mod.
* AI Battle Formation Mods* - Alxeb uses EB battle formations which are very nice and inteligent and corespond very good with alx engine (all other battle formations are good also)

* Spoils of Victory for EB 1.1; by V.T. Marvin - I dont really know what this mods do :shrug:

* Some trait changes - Due to the engine itself, ALX uses different patterns to give traits and it ussually does not apply the same as in RTW tests, but any trait addons are endless so the team can support some in the future (then again there has not been many changes to trait system since EB 10)

* Win Conditions - They are not needed in alxeb coz they do not count the game reallity in the new world - so some conditions might be very funny (explanation: Geostrategical map is a new realm in the mod so win conditions of vanilla are not needed)

* Roman Allied Legions - those are nice they could be implemented but the mod has First Cohorts and balanced military system for Romani so they are optional.

* City mod version - Alxeb has its own Size Limits for various reasons and is much more deep concerning many more regions and potential Huge settlements (for example every capital at the start can be huge, also some Strategic small Settlements can be huge also - like Byzantium)

* Fanatic’s First Cohort/Phalanx/Elephant/Chariot minimod; alxeb wont be using this mod coz it is not compatible with the EDU system.
* Aquilifer unit - optional
* Force Diplomacy Minimod - not needed, Alx engine is much more advanced - but I guess its optional.
* Darth Stalin's 1.1 Romani Fix with "corrected" Gallic Helm - i guess this is optional

[||Lz3||]

thanks maks :smash:

for the compatibility issue... nope :no: ,same with any other minimod that is released from now on.
as for the AlexEB compatibility perhaps in the future if I manage to get the time <.< :laugh4:
:sweatdrop:

[Jacke]

I also included EVERY official fix

I see you include the permanent and optional fixes. I assume you don't the temporary fixes? Thanks.

[Edit: Oops, just saw the header on the first entry which says which fixes are included.]

[We shall fwee...Wodewick]

Question: I know that this isn't save game compatible as it plays havoc with the traits, but could you get away with still playing as the traits don't matter and I can cheat the reforms when I deserve them to save any issues there.

[desert]

So, is all this going to be updated for 1.2?

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

Seconded :smash:.

[Darth Stalin]

Thirded! :)

I've already started my Romani campaign, but it's progress is still not very advanced... so if the minimod pack is updated quite soon, I'll be able to restart my campaign on the latest build...

[mlc82]

Does this still work properly with EB Alex? I saw some mention of things included not being compatible with Alex (in the Alex EB mod thread), just wondering as I much prefer just dropping in your mod pack than trying to edit things in the text files and using wrecking my EB installation.

Also, is TWFanatic's hoplite mod still compatible with EB Alex?

[||Lz3||]

oh... my... sweet lord...

I'm incredibly happy for one side, but terrified from the other :sweatdrop:

yes I'll update this, but I'm not sure when, I'm going to be veeery busy in the next 3 weeks :wall:

I bealive pretty much everything will be compatible with 1.2 it just needs work on it.

yes alex.exe will work you would just need to do the chanes manually (in fact, as of now, every submod needs to be done manually )

[Darth Stalin]

Well, I'm looking forward to see those changes in action...
And BTW: in the latest "bugfix for 1.2" thread there's latest fix for missing sprites - I suggest taking it into account... :D

I did a little changes to Your pack and when I saw the latest build I thought about changing the minimod pack... yet in my case is the same problem - lack of time...

Thus I think I'll wait until the latest minimod pock (build 1.2) is released... maybe until then I'll play something else (well, I have unfinished Imperial campaign in SW:EAW:FOC - Ultimate Empireat War... so I'll smash the rest of rebel scum...)

[||Lz3||]

I have good news and bad news...

the good newsI have finished the 1.2 pack with the only exception of city mod and TW hoplite mod, those can be added later on

the bad newseven though the files are ready, I still have to order them in an instalation package and then upload them, but I possibly won't even have time to breath the next 2 weeks, so I'm not sure when I'm going to upload them :sweatdrop:

[Darth Stalin]

Hey, Lz3, I suggest omit the CityMod for now and add only the TW hoplite mod - this is much easier to do (and less time-consuming).
Of course I don't mean to prevent You from breathing - this could be extremely dangerous and would mean a very probable loss of a very well-known and renowned member of EB-fan-community :D

[||Lz3||]

another good news
in theory... this will be save game compatible... I repeat... in theory, I wouldn't bet my life on it though =P

*That is for people using EB 1.2, the ones using 1.1 well... it is uncompatible no matter how you see it : /

[Darth Stalin]

Well, this means I'll have to wait until MiniModPack 1.2 is ready, to DL it and modify by myself to play again as Romani... maybe this time I'll manage to finish my EB Romani campaign for the first time (this will be my third attempt to do it - previous attempts have been interrupted 'cause of new EB releases => started on 1.0 and had to start again under 1.1 with MMP => stopped and waiting for MMP 1.2...

[||Lz3||]

See main post...

Wait, so the 1.2 pack does not have the aquilifers?

[||Lz3||]

Wait, so the 1.2 pack does not have the aquilifers?

hum... I had heard that happened... I think it solves alone... er... let me search for the post mentioning the problem

PS: RTW version is ready

[||Lz3||]

FD is easily adapted, it's working perfectly. So is EB1.2 + BI.

Edit : FD: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?p=1555176#post1555176

well, could you try that?


what about the SGC? is it trully compatible?

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

Hey do it for us :smash:.

[DisposableHero]

Will give it a try now.

This is a fresh install, so I have no saved games to test compatibility on.

However, I can confirm that Spoils of Victory appears to be working, as is the naval strat map add-on.

Allied Legions sort of half-works, in that it says Legio, but doesn't give a number or name of province.

EDIT: Think I've found the problem with Force Diplomacy. Just testing now.

EDIT2: Okay, that caused a lot of nasty things to happen. Guess I shouldn't try to edit those .txt files in notepad...

Anyway, I noticed several discrepencies between data/export_descr_advice.txt and data/scripts/show_me/Force_Diplomacy.txt included in the mod, and what that link said they should be. Also data/text/export_advice.txt was entirely missing these lines:

{Help_UI_Panel_Diplomacy_Early_Advice_Text_01_Title} Force Diplomacy

{Help_UI_Panel_Diplomacy_Early_Advice_Text_01_Text1}

In case of a fresh instalation...remember to add the sprites official fix for EB 1.2

About the legio thing... I think that's due to the map.rwm, but in theory it should work... emm do you know how to regenerate it?

1-open EB
2-erase map.rwm in EB/Data/world/maps/base/map.rwm
3-Start a new campaign
4-go to EB/Data/world/maps/base/map.rwm and copy map.rwm
5-paste map.rwm in EB/sp game edu backup/

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

Does the pack include all the official fixes or do I need to include the sprites and nomad one?

[||Lz3||]

Does the pack include all the official fixes or do I need to include the sprites and nomad one?

only the sprites one if you're talkin about a fresh EB instalation... the other one is included already

[DisposableHero]

That map.rwm regenerate thing worked a charm on getting the Legion names and numbers. Thanks.

And in case you missed the second edit of my earlier post...

And yup, I have the sprites fix.

[||Lz3||]

to be honest I though that it was going to work since it didn't messed up with another file in EB 1.2, guess I was wrong...

is it working for you now?

[DisposableHero]

No - when I try to make the changes in those .txt files, the game stops working and fails to load properly. I suspect that's because I'm just making the edits in notepad, but I'm no expert.

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

Google for Notepad++, install it and edit the files using it. See if it works.

[||Lz3||]

Doubt it... it should make no diference... as far as I know... I haven't ever modded scripts with notepad though...

[DisposableHero]

Hmm...I can make all the changes but one: in data/export_descr_advice.txt a line under 2085B_UI_Panel_Diplomacy_Help_Trigger should read AdviceThread Help_UI_Panel_Diplomacy_Early_Advice_Thread 0. But export_descr_advice.txt says at the top not to modify that file directly, but rather use the 'Spreadsheet Advice.xls' and re-export it.

I don't seem to have this file, however. (I do have something called 'advice' in the preferences folder, but I don't have a program to support whatever format it is in).

Right, ignore that lot.

All you need to do to get FD to work:

Open EB/data/text/export_advice.txt.
Add the following lines to the bottom of that file:

{Help_UI_Panel_Diplomacy_Early_Advice_Text_01_Title} Force Diplomacy

{Help_UI_Panel_Diplomacy_Early_Advice_Text_01_Text1}
You can force this faction to accept your offer by clicking on the "show me how" button.

Save.
Fire up a new game (I have absaloutely no idea if this is save game compatible or not...)

Bleh. Somehow, I have the feeling that if I knew what I was doing, I could have sorted that an hour ago...

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

Just tested: FD works all right with the recommendations Lz3 provided on the link, had no problems with map.rwm or anything else. All edits done with Notepad++.

[a completely inoffensive name]

Ahhh, I just need city mod and phalanx mod for it to be perfect!

[||Lz3||]

Note DO NOT use anythin but notepad (windows default) to mod anything in the text folder... it will mess up many german and celtic names

Just went through the Sweboz and Arverni campaigns, detected nothing weird or outside the normal with the names.

Notepad++ is officially recommended by some modders precisely because it is more unicode friendly than plain old notepad, and indeed it is far better on every aspect.

So don't be affraid of using it instead.

I learnt/ed it the hard way... I used to though Notepad++ was alright to mod the files in the text folder. However, it seems that when you open the file it automatically changes the coding. That makes some characters appear as "?"... especially in the sweboz vicory conditions trait

PS: I use textpad, Notepad++, Notepad and winmerge :beam:

Anyway I'm grateful. Just reinstalled everything and added ALEX-EB now that things are ready, and it's working all perfectly fine! Shouldn't be a beta anymore, except for that unhappy FD detail.

[||Lz3||]

I'm too lazy to reupload it... hehe if someone wants to upload the modded file and upload it (only the one needed to get FD working) I'll add it to the main post

The beta is mostly for the SGC.... I'm not sure about that

[Vermin]

Curious,

Installed the minimod but my "descr_win_conditions.txt" is empty. Checked the .rar file and the "descr_win_conditions.txt" in the mod is also empty. Does this mean Win Conditions mod is not implemented? (I used the RTW.exe version). I double checked and re-downloaded the RTW_pack3.rar with the same result. Also the game now crashes and shows the Alex version of the splash screen so I think there is still a problem there.

Thanks

Vermin

[Darth Stalin]

1. What is the "SGC"? ["Saved Games Compatibility"?]
2. Does the 1.2 pack include the TWFanatics' "phalanx mod"?
3. What about Force Diplomacy? The 'bug' prevents it from using, and if the "mod pack" is to be complete, fixing the bug is necessary for it... I only hope You'll get more time to reupload the pack with the FD fixed (and maybe phalanx mod too).
Anyway, thanks for your work - due to my current lack of time I'll anyway have to wait until the nextr weekend to download and install the 1.2 pack... yet I think I'll have to make a fresh install of my EB - i.e. fresh install of everything, as if I'm messing aorund with the files, I need to have a clean "operating field"...

EDIT:
1. I found what SG means
and
5. What about making Aquilifer available and uploading the ALX.exe version?
This would make some work easier, without messing around to get it worked with ALX.exe...

In the previous release (1.1 pack) there was also teh ALX.exe version which worked perfectly and needed no further "smoothering/polishing", with aquilifer working OK and so on.

Thus maybe I'll wait until the mod pack is updated and re-uploaded?

[||Lz3||]

that's why it's a beta hehe, I didn't had time to properly check everything, fortunately the mistakes are only minor ones and easily solved :sweatdrop:

and, yeh it seems I'll have to reupload it... but I'm afraid that will have to wait till next weekend (could be on thursday)

No aquilifer? eh... I did put the aquilifer in the alex version... and it's already uploaded :inquisitive:



well... eh... I should go back to work...:wall:

[NONOPUST]

Um has anyone else noticed that the v5.1 City Mods overwrite the soccii mod im this pack? and vice versa? :embarassed:

They both come with essentially the same folders and files, so unless theyre made to coexist or theres somthing idk about then they can't coexist :shame:

[||Lz3||]

yes... they are...uncompatible it needs to be adjusted...

it's not... that hard to do but you do have to get some time to do it then test it...

and unfortunately... I don't have that time right now :sad:


In fact I'll be out of city the whole weekend , so... I'm afraid that the addition of CityMod and the fixes to FD will have to wait till next weekend (if not the the one after that)

so if anyone wants to help me with the conversion....
it's quite easy, just download winmerge (google) and compare all the files in the CityMod with the original EB 1.2 files... Next you place the diferences in the files of the pack

[delablake]

First of all: Thanks a lot!
Sly enemies, specially fighting Barbarians in the woods (I'm a proud Roman) is exciting! They really managed to stage a flanking maneuver and attacked me in the spot that was the furthest from my reinforcements. No more idiotic frontal Banzai charges.
Conquering the European East is a real challenge: Getai and their rebel counterparts are real tough bones to snap, and their elite units fight to the death without wavering...
The new recruited general situation allows for even more role-playing...
overall, the mod pack gives the game a totally fresh feeling, I find playing EB 1.2 a very satifying experience: well-balanced, great graphics and a myriad of decisions to be taken
:beam:

[Darth Stalin]

Well, I can live without CityMod... yet the FD could (and should!) be added...
I still don't know what about TWFanatic's Phalanx mod and:
is Konny's curcsus honorum mod included? (recruitment mod is not reqiured IMHO...)

[Juggernaut]

Is there anyway to install the mod without the Roman skins replacement?
Also, is it possible to revert back to the original skin without re installing the whole EB?

[theoldbelgian]

got another question
as said by medical toaster the trait changes and cursus honorum isn't compatible with 1.2 but it stands right here does this mean that it is compatible?

[Havok.]

[SIZE="5"] If you would like to have regular recruitment as the romans , download [B]this (http://files.filefront.com/NRALrar/;12495011;/fileinfo.html) (for both versions)

Instructions
1-Unpack in your RTW folder (the one that has EB folder)


Are you sure we need to unpack into RTW folder? couse i did and the recruitment remains the same

well my dear fellow brothers

I have, as usual, good news and bad news.

The good news
I'm on vacations next wednesday, that means I'll have the time to make the small modifications that are still needed :beam:

The bad news
I think I got some sort of yellow fever... or the flu, I'm not sure yet, I have to wait for the blood analisis.
So... I feel like crap right now and I don't think I'll be able to do as much, if anything, of what I had planed to do... :sad:

[Akmatov]

you need to have CA Alexander expansion installed

I purchased the Alexander expansion two years ago when it came out and played it a little. Now when I try to reinstall it, it askes for a password code and will not start. Any ideas on how to get it to work?

And since I'm asking, do I understand it correctly that the point of the Alex.exe is that it is the last and best version of the RTW engine out of CA?

Thanks

[mikil100]

Hi all, I have downloaded this mod and it seems to have worked to a point because I tried using the "multiplayer part" of to Trivival script, and I had a general, not captain. Also when I start the game, while its loading there is a little sign with "Alexander" below where is says "Europa Barbarorum"... but when I tested it I could not use night battles.

I run on Rtw.exe, made sure I have all the updates, I have EB under C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB Is that where it belongs? I also have another folder entitled C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB\EB lol... I've never really had a look at this stuff.. but I'm quite confused as to if I can USE the alxander part of this mod because im on rtw.exe, if I extracted this mod in the wrong area (I did it under Activision as told to do), or if I have EB in the wrong area to begin with.. (I remember when I first downloaded EB it said I shouldn't download it under RTW but I had no choice as it wouldn't let me put it anywhere else...


So, if you all understand my situation... any ideas? it seems like this mod is working, except the alexander part.. which is the main reason I wanted it =]

2) about the alexander thing... yikes... It seems I made that mistake again <.<, srry you can't have the alexander features with RTW.exe, that..."Alexander" thing in the loding screen is a mistake I made, since I inlcuded it in both versions... Again :wall:

Two quick questions

is the Citymod and Fanatic’s First Cohort/Phalanx/Elephant/Chariot save game compatible

couse i started a romani campaign with this pack and i'm already bulldozing everyone =\
would be a shame, and a pain n' arse to start all over again to get this two great mini mods

:shame:

[TWFanatic]

Mine is compatible.

I think CityMod isn't. It won't corrupt your current savegame and make you CTD or anything like that but it doesn't take effect unless you start a new campaign.:no:

p.s. It's just a phalanx mod now.

p.p.s. I take no responsibility for legal, medical, or emotional damages if your computer spontaneously combusts after running CityMod with your Romani campaign.

[Darth Stalin]

To all expecting guys... Give me till friday, d'accord?
OK. That's no problem, I'll only have to prepare some of my own add-ons to Your mod-pack, yet as most of these changes I prepared for version 1.1, I think I'll have no problems with adding them...
just have to make a clean install of EB 1.1. and 1.2 to prepare for this newest ModPack 1.2 release...

BTW: please bear in mind that it would be veeery nice to prepare both version WITH CityMod and WITHOUT that - I really like other mods, yet the CityMod is not something I like too much... (previous version was for me very good!)

[juba1]

yep :idea2: I agree with darth it will be very very nice to have a version without citymod :yes:

[||Lz3||]

Ok as promised... Here goes the pack 3.1 :2thumbsup:

New things to notice

City mod (both version a and b)
Phalanx mod
Fixed Polybian recruitment for Allied recruitment mod (I had forgoten to disable the allies and to restrict the extraordinarii)
Fixed FD
Fixed Victory conditions
Fixed Alexander splash loading screen in RTW version
Fixed Bruttian voices
Improved UI (that means I finally made intallers :beam:)


NOTES:
As you'll notice too, It was easier for me to create those mods as add-ons instead of merging them into the main pack :sweatdrop:
As you might notice, I also fixed several things, so you might as well want to re-download the pack to get all that stuff fixed:yes:

Have fun, and yes... it is save game compatible, if anything city mod won't take effect on cities that are alredy larger than what city mod allows.

[||Lz3||]

ggrrrrr this just makes no sense, I'm looking at the files right now... they are fine...

You disabled the EB trivial script... <.< :wall:

You need to re-enable the trivial script to make it work, (you need it anyways to get the full EB experience)., Try to search for your original EB shortcuts, if that doesn't work edit your target line so it looks like
"C:\Program Files\EBTrivialScript\EBTrivialScript.exe" -s ebconfig.xml -runeb -type "Single Player"
If you wish to play Multiplayer, edit the "Single Player" part to "Multi Player".

Alternatelly you could create another shortcut identical to the first one with the diference being the Single and Multi part.


Or... you could just erase the line mentioning officer eagle in the EDU... , however, I don't sugest just doing that, but it's your choice. (You won't get all the units in camapaign, or you won't get factional troops in custom battles.


Seems I need to talk with Maksimus about the trivial script... ¬¬

[||Lz3||]

If possible, in the future can you make a option that keeps the original imperial legionaries?

Eeem yes... I could make a version for you If you wish... but I would need to know

1-Alex or RTW.
2-Phalanx mod or not.
3-... I think that's it.

On a personal note... hehehehe I think big headed romans are less historically accurate than having them wearing red and coolus helmets. :smash:

[Vermin]

Thanks Lz3,

I will try it out. I did not realise I had disabled the trivial script. How can I check to make sure it is working?

Regards

Vermin

[||Lz3||]

Well if you start a custom campaign in "Single Player" and you shouldn't be able to recruit factional troops (like legionaries when SPQR), and when you use the Multi Player script you should be able to use them

:yes:

[Skullheadhq]

Nice! I like the new installer! i hated the copy shit!

Hey, Lz3!
One question about the case with Roman Eagle bearer and Trivial script mentioned above - do I have to have Trivial script enabled?
I was playing previous versions of EB (1.0 and 1.1) without Trivial script (just the shortcut to ALX.exe and with EB mod folder targeted) and everything worked pretty fine.
When I wanted to see units in single player mode I jus manually changed EDU files and that was all.
BTW: did you prepare BOTH single player (campaign) and multiplayer versions? I had no time to see deeper into MiniModPack 3.1, thus that (maybe stupid?) question...

Humm yes it's very advisable to keep your trivial script running, I made both versions of the EDU, so why bothering changing the EDUs? why not using the trivial script?, it's the only thing it does (well it also enables the MP swapper) changing the EDUs, you could... of course do it manually if you wish though :shrug:

[Sarkiss]

nice mod, congrats. and installer is the best feature of all:thumbsup:

[juba1]

congrats for u release :2thumbsup:

I did not installed the trivial script when I installed EB, why should I ??? ( I never play custom battle )
What m I missing in EB experience ???

Well the trivial allows you to play custom battles...

If you don't want to use the trivial just
1-copy the edu in the SP Edu backup folder (located in the EB folder)
2- and paste it in the EB data folder

Well, I just do not trust things that are supposed to be more "user-friendly" than my own intelligence is...
I use MP mode or custom battle very rarely, in fact only to see whether the changes I made are running well...

[Fearless Samnite]

so i tried again....with a clean install
instead of running your pack i had it install to an empty folder and then copy pasted the stuff where it should have gone


I always run my game with BI by the way and i think the trival scripts don't work with BI because they are not configured with BI?


IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN RUN THE GAME WITH OUT TRIVAL SCRIPTS? or make it so it works with BI?

my games ran without trival scripts before, why so important now?

Can someone please give me a clear answer in what im doing wrong or what i need to do, to get my game to work with bi with the mod pack. Please


ps my trival scripts run fine, they just don't reconize my BI disc, and instead want an rtw one *so i think anyway*

[Fearless Samnite]

omg.......


.... ... :inquisitive: i tried loading it for the 4th time with bi without the fabled trival script and it finally didn't ctd with the mod pack...


...:inquisitive:




THANK YOU GOD I LOVE YOU ALL!!! lol.. sorry




anyway sorry for all that, i don't know what to say really, things are just working all of a sudden.
I have a couple questions though, since i did it that way instead of running the program and extracting via the installer did everything work right? Is it ok i copy and pasted? In game as the romans, i played tested to see if the new recruitment works and it does... does that mean everything is working? Im assuming so for the sake of my sanity :p

one last question i heard that the unit sizes were incorrect and there was a fix for 1.1
do i need to find that fix and apply it or is 1.2 considered fixed already?

[||Lz3||]

humm well If you did erase everything and then reinstalled EB... I do suggest you to download the sprites fix, then copy&paste/use the installer to get the pack... after that... make the changes so you can use BI.exe MANUALLY

The important thing about the trivial script is...
EB uses 2 EDUs, one for SP and another for MP...

If you play SP with the MP EDU then you won't be able to recruit all the units you should (example you wouldn't be able to recruit spartans as the KH)

If you play MP with the SP EDU then you won't be able to select your factional troops, (like you wouldn't be able to selec principes or triarii as the SPQR)


Normally people would have to copy&paste the diferent EDUs manually... but since that was rather tiring, the trivial scrip was made, what it does is to swap the EDUs between SP and MP EDUs... (located in the SP EDU backup and MP EDU backup folders)...this is why the trivial script is imortant

In order to "change the target line" what I suggest is to change the trivial script... this is easier done than said.

Just open (right click>notepad, wordpad, whatever) the ebconfig.xml file located in your RTW folder and search for ".exe" without the hypens, then just add whatever you wanted to "add" to the target line.

1. I already have BI installed, will this mess anything up?

2. Is anyone else having a hard time connecting to filefront?

[||Lz3||]

1. I already have BI installed, will this mess anything up?

2. Is anyone else having a hard time connecting to filefront?

Hum... about the BI thing.. I doubt it... but it will overwrite all the changes you might have, so you would need to change the "target line" and /or add shieldwalds etc etc

[a completely inoffensive name]

Alright, that shouldn't be too much of a bother. But seriously, filefront is giving the slowest loading times for their pages.

[||Lz3||]

:shrug:

You're not the first one to complain about that... I find it funny cause I don't even live near the US, yet I have better conections to filefront than many from USA :beam:

However filefront offers a rather good service (one of the best IMO) especially since it's free :yes:

Oh and... change the "target line" in your ebconfig file

The great ACIN must be using the trivial script... non?

[a completely inoffensive name]

Its strange because its usually very fast for me....

[a completely inoffensive name]

Shoot, now when I try to start a campaign it crashes on me.

[||Lz3||]

Shoot, now when I try to start a campaign it crashes on me.

after your moddifications right?

[a completely inoffensive name]

I fixed it, I messed up in the trait file, but one more question, I did the pack and used it and City Mod is not on there. If I install CityMod will that mess up anything?

EDIT: Nevermind I just saw the files that are other mod compatible.

EDIT 2: it modified the regions file but the descr_buildings file is unchanged and thus all cities can still go up to huge.

EDIT 3: Fixed that, the installer created a separate file called "EB" in my EB/Data... folder. I copied and pasted and now its working. Very strange as I don't recall reading that this would happen... maybe I am an idiot and am staying up too late trying to mod EB past midnight.

[Vermin]

Hi Lz3,

I found the problem: your EDUs files in the EB/data/ folder and the EB/SP game EDU backup/ folder are not quite the same.

The EDU file in the EB/data/ folder has 2 additional lines and 1 different line.
These additional lines are the "officer roman_eagle" line, twice under unit #524 and #525 (as indicated above in my earlier post), which was causing the problem.
The different line under unit #533 is "voice_type Heavy_1" instead of "voice_type Genreal_1" which is no drama.
I assume that both these EDU files should in fact be identical.
Obviously the EDU file in the EB/mp game EDU backup/ folder is very different to either of the two above.

Regards

Vermin

[||Lz3||]

well... that's fine actually...

This is how EB handles EDUs:

3 EDUS:
1- EB data folder (this is the one the game will use)
2-SP EDU backup folder (I think that's the name of the folder. It overwrites any EDU located in the EB data folder when the SP shortcut is used. Be it the same or a different EDU.)
3-MP EDU backup folder (It overwrites whatever EDU is located in the data folder when MP shortcut is used.

In order to have them overwriting automatically you need the trivial script, cause that's what it does.

However if you don't want the trivial just overwrite the one in Data folder with the one in SP or MP according to what you want to play at the moment.

The reason why the RTW pack crashes when the trivial script is off, is that, I did not mod the EDU in data folder, the EDU in the data folder is from the Alex.version, why I did not changed it? well cause I thought at the moment that everyone would be using the trivial, so it would be overwritten anyways with the right EDU.

The problem is... that several people have their Trivial Disabled

[Dayve]

I'm awfully confused from your main post.

I have EB 1.2 installed on RTW.exe

Do i simply download the RTW.exe version and install it, and that's that?

[||Lz3||]

hehehe sorry, I agree that the main post might need to be... cleared a bit...

Yes you must have EB 1.2 installed as well as the sprites fix before you run the pack installer :sweatdrop:

[Dayve]

Ah, ok. I shall do it right nao.

[Socy]

Sorry if this has already been answered, but, has anyone found out if there is any way of making this mod work with EB on a BI.exe? I would love to test out the BI.exe but this mod almost makes it impossible for me to leave vanilla .exe. If anyone have any solution as to how one could make this work, please post it!

[||Lz3||]

An alternative is to... make the changes to BI.exe yourself, manually...

Run the pack installer
Make the changes, (I'm not sure what you need to change tough... I don't have BI :shrug:)

NOTE: If you need to change the target line, dont chane the one in the shortcut, edit the ebconfig file in the RTW folder. (Just righ clic >open with >notepad then search for .exe , and there you'll find the target line )

Good luck :yes:




Oh btw, can anyone confirm the save game compatible thing?

[Strategos Alexandros]

Hi

By the trivial script does that mean you must press trivial script to play or just "EB single player".

Secondly on vista i am getting the following problem


1 I install EB 1.1

2 Patch to EB 1.2

3 Install Both fixes

4 install the mod pack

5 Start it by using the shortcut EB play single player

6 Get a CTD saying that it can not find the model roman evocate (spelling might be out):oops:
I mean not even getting the menu



What am i doing wrong

Sounds liike a great mod.

thank

[General Appo]

I was gonna download this, but then I saw the license agreement and I just couldn't comply. Sorry Lz3.

[theoldbelgian]

is it possible to not implent the city mod?
I really like all the the other mods and I really want to have the cursus honorum mod
and the only way to get that from here or mod it myself and that is unfortunatly above my current skill

[a completely inoffensive name]

Why would you not want the City mod? I can't stand a campaign where every city just just as big as Rome and in some cases has even more people then Rome. But if you really don't want CityMod you can always make backups of the files that CityMod overwrites and change the modded files with your backups.

[theoldbelgian]

well i like playing with the casse and in don't like messing with the ebbs script that much(bad experience just by looking around)
and in order to gain the last reform you and your litle buddies the arverni and aedui must have 6 large city's and i with this mod you cant have that unless you invade spain, germany and italy wich isn't my sort of playstyle
the march of time problem was (i heard but not sure?) taken care of by giving another city the hidden italy resource( if you haven't played romani, for some reason the march of time doesn't happen when rome grows huge no mather what is said ive seen it)

[||Lz3||]

is it possible to not implent the city mod?

Er... yes actually... it doesn't have city mod in the default instalation, citymod is only an add on, that you can -if you wish- install over.

So if you don't want city mod, just... don't download the citymod add on :yes:


I was gonna download this, but then I saw the license agreement and I just couldn't comply. Sorry Lz3. C'mon there hasn't been any problem since this was out :jester:

[SwissBarbar]

Erm... no...

I think I specified correctly where to install, be it inside the installers or next to the download links :yes:

[SwissBarbar]

I'm technically not really the best one, I don't see those specifications next to the links, i only see "download it here" and the description what the mod does effect. Please help me along.

(PS: the only one i read something like it is the textures mod:
2-Unpack in your EB folder (that is C:\programfiles\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB). So I have to unpack it only in the EB folder? But there are so many other folders, do I just ignore them?)

Forgive my lack of knowledge

[||Lz3||]

Don't worry, just download it, then in the installer it should tell you where to install :yes:

I have this problem, ia stay always on guard formation and make fighting very strange.Often i see the units stay in strange positions without fighting at all, and cavalry seems very weak in guard mode. I try to install the shilunet battle formations but i have the same problem. How i can fix that?

[Atraphoenix]

I had to format my PC for vista, I have not played EB for a long time is your sub mod OK for Vista?
I ll try it anyway I hope you successfully could have transferred city mod and RAL.
Be back to report on Vista.
P.S. I hope you are planning your submod for EB2 too :yes: but I pray it will not be a real torture to adapt your mod for Kingdoms.exe.

Thanks anyway and plz keep up your great work :egypt:

[a completely inoffensive name]

It works perfectly on Vista.

[Sarkiss]

Win Conditions; originally by JRMC and special thanks to konny for making a new version (it adds victory conditions to the campaign AI ,the current EB has that file empty , and this will improve AI behavior during campaign making it more historical.)
does it mean that AI factions vicotory conditions are still the same as the ones set for a human player controlling that particular faction, or are they different?

i have noticed a change in AI's diplomatic activities, but unsure whether it is due to Alex or victory conditions tweaks? which one is it, or is it both?

thanks for this mod, imo its got the best AI behavior so far. :thumbsup:

[C.LVCIANVS]

:mickey:
You had a great idea with this mod Lz. Well done.:balloon2:

But I've got a question for you... I got problems with the SoV mod, I can't understand where's the error that makes the game crash. I'm using the bi.exe, so I have to install it manually using VTMarvin instructions, but the mod is adapted to the 1.1 build, not 1.2. I used Winmerge to compare the text files, but about the CAMPAIGN SCRIPT I'm not sure of what I have to change to make it works.

How did you adapted the SoV for EB 1.1 to the EB 1.2 version??

Thanks for any answer:tnt:

[||Lz3||]

I think... that you don't need to change the campaign script... AFAIK VT marvin only added as bug fix for EB (a bug that was solved in 1.2)

[C.LVCIANVS]

I think... that you don't need to change the campaign script... AFAIK VT marvin only added as bug fix for EB (a bug that was solved in 1.2)

~:doh:

... So there's something else wrong in what I'm doing... Ok at least now I Know it!:wiseguy:

Anyway: I've installed EB 1.2 on a RTW+BI(1.6)+Alex(1.9) copy, and using the bi.exe. I hadn't got problems with the Aquilifer model for first cohorts; no Vanilla EB units removed for me.
This is for who doubts on the exceeding number of models supported by the bi.exe. :army:

[Atraphoenix]

No problem on vista, it works great!
But I advice you not using difficulty for battle more than medium with alex.exe cos if you choose hard for battle difficulty sieges are nightmare the aı separates fresh reserves and do not attack your men directly as with rtw.exe or BI.exe.
so the morale bonus must be +4 with hard difficulty for battle makes you crazy. my favourite selection was hard/hard and OK with RTW.exe and BI.exe but not with alex.exe. hard or if you like suicidal games very hard diffuculty for campaign but no more than normal for battle if you use alex.exe.

I am happy with your mod man good job but ı think city mod is using RAL mod EDB file and maybe EDU also that deletes RAL mod. As I am happy with RAL no complain.

Thanks man such a combi mod :laugh4: I am still indecisive to restart with pahlava or old pal romans.
As I am mad about cavalries Pahlava is good choice. I would like to play sarmatians but they do not have stone walls as I always improve my cities with them.

PS : Be careful with AI reserves they attack you at the peak of battle. You need a fresh reserves too. Ctrl+A and double click the centre of enemy does not work on alex :no:

[RedX]

Hi Lz3, thanks for the great mod pack. Don't know if i installed it wrong but here the Phalanx mod is not working correctly,i'm using the alex.exe, any ideas of what i could do?

So... you downloaded and installed the Alex.exe default pack... and then you installed the phalanx add on?


It should be working =P

See if you installed it in the correct folder

[RedX]

Sorry for the trouble again and thank you very much for the help.

Nope, i'ts not necessary, it's just that that mod disables the trivial script, so that's what I thought had happened

The trivial script swaps between SP and MP EDUs so you don't have to do it manually.

Oh, ok then.
Everything is working perfectly here, thank you very much for the help.

believe me to fight to avoid CTDs after scripting data file is harder than playing EB with VH/VH difficulty :wall:

In the EDU:

Replace:

replace:
roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria
with:

delete line:

That's a temporary solution to get you playing again. The real problem lies with something screwed up in the unit models.

I'd already given up hope to solve this problem without reinstallation (which would be terrible cause I'm just 2 provinces away from the win conditions with the Qart'hadastim and also have a Getai campaign in the 220s thats giong pretty smooth).

I'll try this immediately.:yes:

EDIT:

Tried to change the entries just to find out they already contain the changes you recommended. :confused:
What the hell have I done to my installation?
I remember nothing big, I only changed the number of arrows for the nuraghi from 15 to 20 and other rather 'cosmetical' changes.
And I definitly didn't change anything concerning soldier models or officers.

So ... sorry to be pesky again:
Is there something else I can do?

To give you a bit more information - I don't have vanilla EB 1.2, I installed some of the minimods too as I mentioned here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showpost.php?p=2106377&postcount=462).
Note: I didn't install the sweboz fix cause I didn't notice it before installation.
And afterwards I was not sure if it would not mess up my installation. :dizzy2:

[Ferromancer]

make sure those fixes are applied to the EDU in your data folder as well as the one in the sp game backup folder.

[Shadowwalker]

Hmmm...
followed your advice and checked the EDU in the sp backup too.
In that EDU I was able to replace the 2 mentioned lines (roman_infantry...) but didn't find any entry "officer roman_eagle".
Strange.

I still get the CTD during game start. No CTD would have surprised me cause I had to edit the EDU in the EB/data folder to get the changes to the unit stats. Seems as if your (to mention it again: fantastic) "EB for BI"-mod relies on that EDU rather than the one in the sp backup folder. So it's unlikely that the game crashes because a wrong entry in an unused EDU...
But after all I'm still somewhat noobish in editing the game. :laugh4:

I seriously think about uninstalling Eb und do a reinstall with less minimods.
Maybe it helps since I always had a rather stable game before I installed all these tiny enhancements. And except for your BI mod, the city mod and the RS textures I don't need any further improvements.

But of course thanks again for your time and helping hand. :2thumbsup:


Oh, didn't mention it for a long time - please excuse any misspelling or grammar mistakes. I'm not as good at speaking/writing english as I should be.:oops:

what if you reinstall the mod pack? :shrug:

[Shadowwalker]

Hi Lz3,

don't take it personally, I really like the modpack (I mentioned this iirc) but I'm a little bit frustrated to lose 2 good campaigns (in the Qart'hadastim one the Casse even invaded the mainland...) to an persisting CTD. And since I never had these problems when I had only EB vanilla, citymod and EB for BI installed I have come to a decision.

But I will not touch the installation yet, no uninstalling, no reinstalling. I just play Reconquista (that german mod for M2TW... a really fantastic one btw) and calm down a bit.
Maybe when I think about it in one or two weeks again I have changed my mind and make a complete installation again (your modpack included). ~:)

[||Lz3||]

Don't worry...

This pack is par from perfect... however I'm extremely busy again <.<

If anyone can help with the to do list things would be more than great.

To do list:
-Correct the triarii recruitment for the allied legions mod
-take out the aquilifer from the main edu in the data folder, since I Thought everyone used the trivial script.
-Compatibility with the new official Karthadastim fix...

hi i am having trouble with the below error every time i go into the loading screen.

Script Error in eb/data/export_descr_unit.txt, at line 10091, column 34.

Could not find soldier battle model for unit type 'roman infantry evocatae'.

i downloaded the mini mod pack and then instated the eb for bi installer.
then i fixed a previous eror using these instructions.

Replace:
roman_infantry_cohorsevocata_cohorspraetoriana
with:
roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria_evocata

replace:
roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria
with:
roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria_evocata

delete line:
officer roman_eagle
but now i am having problems agen. :wall:
and here is code.

I have no idea on why several people out of 200+ have problems with that... have you ever installed any other mod prior to this one?

Are you making the changes in both Data folder EDU and SP EDU backup folder?

[CyberPhalanx]

no

and

yes.

[ezekiel2517]

I have a question:

The city mod version in this pack, is it the one that limits the "barbarian" factions to large sized cities?

[||Lz3||]

It's not by default... you need to download the CityMod add-on

[ezekiel2517]

It's not by default... you need to download the CityMod add-on

oh :sweatdrop:

[Woest]

In the EDU:

Replace:
roman_infantry_cohorsevocata_cohorspraetoriana
with:
roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria_evocata

replace:
roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria
with:
roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria_evocata

delete line:
officer roman_eagle

That's a temporary solution to get you playing again. The real problem lies with something screwed up in the unit models.


Perhaps i have the solution, in the descr_battle_model some files are not correctly named.
Search for:
Roman infantry - Cohors Evocata / Cohors Praetoriana
and
Roman infantry - Cohors Imperatoria

Then look at the names for 'texture' and 'model_flexi_m' they should be the same as the file names in the following folders:
eb/data/models_unit/textures/
and
eb/data/models_unit/

So for example the following line in the descr_battle_model is linked to the following file:
model_flexi_m eb/data/models_unit/EBUNIT_PROME_NEW_UNIT_ROMAN_LegioneAugustea_high.cas

But in the eb/data/models_unit/ folder the file name is as followed:
EBUNIT_PROME_NEW_UNIT_ROMAN_LEGIONEAUGUSTEA_HIGH.CAS

So if both names are the same, no changes has to be made in the export_descr_unit file

The only line that has to be deleted in that file is:
officer roman_eagle

I hope this works.

hey, guys, how do you get rid of formation mini-mod? i dont like all the units being on guard mode by default. i have also noticed that AI doesnt cope very well and always leaves some units behind which leaves the rest of the army isolated and cut to pieces. not sure though whether that caused by formations... but these "reserves" seem to very rarely engage...
