Steam install

[victus]

Having a problem here with the mod through steam. I downloaded the mod plus the patch and directed it to my RTW Gold folder located in my steam file (No not in the programs folder). Of course there is no EB icon to click on and when I start the game through steam it just plays the vanilla RTW game. When I go into all programs there is a EB icon but when i click on that it says it can't find steam. what gives?

:help:

As Mk56 originally posted,
The solution is to manually enter the command line into the launch program button within Steam itself. In Steam, if you right click on the Rome: Total War launch button, there will be a properties option. In the general tab of properties there is a "Set launch options" button, which will bring up an empty text box. Manually type in "-mod:eb -show_err" (without apostrophe) into that box. Now when you run Rome: Total War, it will launch EB.

In other words, you must click Rome: Total War Gold and select Rome: Total War and not Barbarian Invasion--unless, of course, you are trying to make it run using BI; in which case, there is a total different set of instructions entirely, I believe.
