HAIL New Members! (Introduction) v.III

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Welcome Fadly!

[Pannonian]

I'm wondering, should DevDave and Tribesy post here every time they get demoted, or would the subsequent thread traffic be too much for Tosa to cope with?

[Martok]

Welcome to the Org, Drogba26 and Fadly! Also, a belated welcome to Brave_Sir_Robin; I don't think I actually officially greeted you in the Main Hall. ~:wave:

[ezo]

Hi, everybody! I'm Ezo from Budapest and I just registered to this Forum. I'm a great fan of the Total War series, since Medieval (the first one), and I also do some modding, but only for myself. I found a lot of useful information about modding on this forum earlier - thanks to you all -, but I never felt the need to be a member- mybe because I never had enough time to do it. But now I really need your help. This Medieval II seems to be a little different from Rome. It is a great game indeed, but has some "things" that I dont like and I could change in Rome but dont know how to do it in Medieval II. I'm no developer or such, I'm just looking for the perfect game :-)
So, here is my problem: first thing that bothers me much is the colour changes that happen with the units when getting to greater distance. I'm talking about the sprites.In Rome I could fix that by increasing the model_sprite distances to even 200-300, and also increasing the lowest model_flexi distances, all that in the descr_model_battle file. But I can't find this file anywhere in the game, and I read it somwhere in the forum that it doesn't exist at all. I also find out that there should be a 'tools' or 'utility' folder on the game directory, but I don't have such thing. I reinstalled the game but I still don't have it, so I am unable to unpack the data pack files, and I couldn't find an unpacker tool on this site either.
So, if anybody would be so kind and help me out with this, I would be very-very grateful! It is very important for me... I spent almost two years of my life modifying Rome, I learned Photoshop and 3D Studio Max only for making my game as I like it, and with Medieval II, I can't do nothing... I can't sleep anymore :-)
Thank you, guys, I'm waiting for your help.

Nice job you are doing here :)

Hi and welcome ezo!
May I suggest that you post your question in the modding questions forum (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=176). Sadly, the modders don't visit us here in the Entrance Hall too often. Hope you find the answer that you are looking for, good luck, cheers!

Thank you guys, for the advice, I was thinking to this option, to go directly to modding forum, but since I am new, I can hardly decide to what topic i shoud post, there are so many- this forum is huge-, and I thought it would be good to take the main entrance, to introduce myself. Very nice of you answering so qiuckly, thanks! I'll go to search an appropiate modding fourm...

I finally managed to gather enough courage to register here. I have been playing MTW and VI for about two years, and i have enjoyed every second playing this game.

God i hate it when Byzzies take the whole eastern side of the map and then decide to concentrate on killing me and only me! ;D) So anyway, hello again, i think thats about it then.. See you around, mates! ~:cheers:

[King Antonius]

ok I am very new to the org and I have a big question.. How do u use the mods and how do u get them to work ?

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Hi King Antonius,
May I ask which game you are using? I presume that it will be a Gold Edition, since they are the games which cause the most problems with mod installs.

If you are talking about Medieval: Total War Gold Edition then you can simply download the mod as always. Installing it though, is a little trickier. At first just follow the instructions on-screen. However, when you come to the point when it asks you where you what location you wish to install the mod in question, you have to direct the installer to "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Medieval - Total War - Gold Edition" rather than the default directory. Press next and let the installer do it's magic! Once it is completed open up M:TW and see if it's working.

If you are talking about Rome: Total War, not Gold, then you need to check your version of the game and compare it with the one required for your selected mod. You can usually find the version required in the thread belonging to the mod in question. You can find out your version by entering the options menu and looking in the top hand corner. If they are the same then you can download it and install it nice and easily.

If the mod requires R:TW 1.0 and you have a higher version (1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.5), that is not Gold, then you will, sadly, have to reinstall R:TW to get it back down to R:TW 1.0. The you can go ahead and install the mod!

If the mod requires R:TW 1.1 and you have version 1.0 then you can simply download and install the 1.1 patch from here (http://www.download.com/Rome-Total-War-v1-1-patch/3000-7485_4-10325728.html). It comes with it's own instructions. Once you have installed the patch, go ahead and install the mod!

If the mod requires R:TW 1.1 and you have a higher version (1.2, 1.3 or 1.5), that is not Gold, then you will, sadly, have to reinstall R:TW to get it back down to R:TW 1.0. After that, simply download and install the 1.1 patch from here (http://www.download.com/Rome-Total-War-v1-1-patch/3000-7485_4-10325728.html). It comes with it's own instructions. Once you have installed the patch, go ahead and install the mod!

If the mod requires R:TW 1.2 and you have either 1.0 or 1.1 then you first need to download the R:TW 1.2 Patch from here (http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/Rome-Total-War-Patch.shtml). It comes with it's own instructions. Once you have installed the patch. Go ahead and install the mod!

If the mod requires R:TW 1.2 and you have a higher version (1.3 or 1.5), that is not Gold, then you will, sadly, have to reinstall R:TW to get it back down to R:TW 1.0. Then you will need to download the R:TW 1.2 Patch from here (http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/Rome-Total-War-Patch.shtml). It comes with it's own instructions. Once you have installed the patch. Go ahead and install the mod!

If the mod requires R:TW 1.3 and you have either 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2 then you first need to download the R:TW 1.3 Patch from here (http://www.xfire.com/files/1186/Rome%20Total%20War%201.3%20Patch). It comes with it's own instructions. Once you have installed the patch. Go ahead and install the mod!

If the mod requires R:TW 1.3 and you have a higher version (1.5), that is not Gold, then you will, sadly, have to reinstall R:TW to get it back down to R:TW 1.0. Then you will need to download the R:TW 1.3 Patch from here (http://www.xfire.com/files/1186/Rome%20Total%20War%201.3%20Patch). It comes with it's own instructions. Once you have installed the patch., go ahead and install the mod!

If the mod requires R:TW 1.5 and you have 1.0 or 1.1, first you need to patch upto 1.2 (http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/Rome-Total-War-Patch.shtml) and then 1.5 (http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/Rome-Total-War-15-Patch.shtml) in that order. They both come with their own instructions. Once you have installed the patches, go ahead and install the mod.

If the mod requires R:TW 1.5 and you have 1.2 or 1.3, without BI, you just need to patch upto 1.5 (http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/Rome-Total-War-15-Patch.shtml). It comes with it's own instructions. Once you have installed the patches, go ahead and install the mod.

If the mod requires R:TW 1.5 and you have BI installed then simply download and install the 1.6 patch (http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/Rome-Total-War-Barbarian-Invasion-16-Patch.shtml) which boosts R:TW upto 1.5 without allowing BI to drag it down. Then you can install the mod easily and cleanly.

If you want to download a mod for Barbarian Invasion the same principle applies. Compare the version number required for the mod with your version number which can be found at the top right-hand corner of the options menus.

If the mod requires BI 1.3 and you have a higher version (1.6), not Gold, then you need to re-install R:TW and then BI. Next download and install the mod onto a fresh copy of BI 1.3.

If the mod requires BI 1.6 and you have 1.3 or 1.4 then you have to download the 1.6 patch (http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/Rome-Total-War-Barbarian-Invasion-16-Patch.shtml). Instructions are provided along with it. The 1.6 patch also upgrades R:TW to 1.5. After you have done this simply download and install the mod.

If you have R:TW Gold Edition you can, sadly, download mods only for R:TW 1.5 or BI 1.6. You can check the version required in the mod's thread/forum. When you have downloaded the mod simply follow all the insturctions within the installer till it asks you where you wish to place the mod. Change the third part of the command line, which should say "Activision" to "The Creative Assembly". For example, if it by default says "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\" change it to "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\"

If the mod is for M2:TW I sadly, cannot help you - I don't have the latest game. My sincre appologies for this.

Hope this helps/works, good luck, cheers!

[Warmaster Horus]

...

Omanes comes to the rescue again!

Welcome King Antonius! Note also that many mods explain how to be installed (in the downloads section, or installation instructions of the mod's forum.

[Andres]

Welcome King Antonius ~:wave:

Pay attention to Omanes' guidelines. And as Warmaster Horus said, most mods come with a decent explanation on how to install them.

Most of the time, you'll find said explanation in a file called "Readme" (now, that certainly came as a surprise, didn't it? :laugh4: ), which is exactly what you need to do.

Good luck and have fun !

[ainamacil]

Hello folks!

Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

My TW history, in a nutshell: I missed out on Shogun, loved Medieval, didn't care much for Rome, and finally, having purchased a new machine, found myself in love with Medieval II.

As an American of primarily Scottish descent, I like to play the English (or, in Medieval II, the Scots, but I have to unlock them first). Currently, I'm finishing up a long fight against Milan for Northern Europe during my first campaign, and learning the ins-and-outs of the new engine. This ain't the first Medieval, that's for sure.

I'm a History major, and my interests range from the Medieval era to roughly the end of the Second World War, with particular emphasis on the Napoleonic era. And indeed, it looks as though I'll finally get to use some muskets in this game (previously, I had to sate my hunger for black powder carnage with cannon, which I am already employing to slaughter my foes en masse).

So that's a somewhat long-winded introduction. Nice to be "out in the open", as it were. I look forward to talking tactics, history, and the remarkable humor that comes out of TW games with the lot of you.

G'day to all, i'm Scott, a proud Kiwi living in London. My love for the Total War franchise has brought me to your special forum. You'll probably be seeing me around in the MTW part of the community, one of the best games ever made and easily my favourite of the TW series.
Welcome to the Org, All Blacks! We look forward to seeing you in the Main Hall (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=20) then. ~:cheers:

Also, welcome aboard to Panzer-Elite and Galapagos! May your swords always stay sharp, and may your camels' aroma always repel the enemy horsemen. ~:wave:

Hey all, just coming back around for a bit. Used to have account under Takaratta Yamamoto (from Shogun days, if you couldnt tell ;P). It has been about 4 years i think since i used it last. Looking for some insight to MWII, and to get ready for the expansion.

Hi guys, Tarbanrael is the name, a Frenchman living in Ireland. I've been a guest on the forums for quite a while now but felt it might be time to register and contribute.
Have played every single TW since Shogun, MTW having been installed on my various machines until the release of M2TW.

We are all equal here my friend. Post count isn't very important.

In fact, with this post, you made yourself the living proof that a junior member with only a few posts can impersonate what the Org is all about: a nice, warm and friendly place full of wonderful members.

I bow for your kindness and friendliness shown to your fellow Orgah's in the quoted post :bow:

Good to have you aboard :bow:

[Lt. Pinard]

Hey guys! Just saying my hi's as a new member.

But did have a question tho. I want to join an interactive history in chapter house but I can't post there. Is that cause I'm a jr member and not a full member yet?

[Warmaster Horus]

Welcome Lt.Pinard!

Indeed, the Chapter House, in fact the whole Miscellaneous section of the Org, is restricted to Full Members. Don't be worried, you'll probably be promoted soon enough, in a couple of weeks, or maybe even less. One piece of advice, don't spam. That drastically reduces your chances of being promoted.

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Hi and welcome Lt. Pinard!
Yes, unfortunately, your current Junior Member status is restricting your posting in the off-topic regions. Fortunately though, there is a way of bypassing the restrictions! If you wish to join the game, simply PM one of the moderators of the Chapter House, either Kraxis (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/member.php?u=4075) or CBR (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/member.php?u=2612), and they may be willing to request that the administrators promote you to the Member rank so that you can join and play the game. Hope this helps you, good luck, cheers!

[Caius]

I'm glad of see this forum grow every day.

Welcome Lt. Pinard! We hope the camels will be killed soon enough, so dont care for them.

Isnt that right, Andres? ;)

[Martok]

Welcome aboard, Lt. Pinard! As the others have already pointed out, you need to be a full member to post and participate in the Miscellaneous forums, including the Chapter House. ~:wave:

Welcome Charge! As others have said, good luck with your mod!

Since you're modding RTW, be sure to take a look at the Scriptorium (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=77). That's where you can find advice on modding the game. And, of course, don't forget to advertize your mod (once you've got the idea clearly defined) in the Forge (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=76).

It seems you like talk about politics, I recommend you the Backroom to discuss political aspects. But you will have to be pacient, and wait to the promotion to member.

[Charge]

[Andres]

Welcome,welcome,Justiface!:wink:
What is the promotion to member, when it happens?:inquisitive:

As a junior member you have access to every part of the Org forums, except the miscealleanous ones. These become accessible once you have member status. They contain the Tavern, where you can discuss anything not related to the Total War games, the Monastery, where you can discuss history, The Arena, where you can discuss non - Total War games, a Hard- & Software forum where you can discuss.... hard- and software, and The Watchtower, where you can discuss the policy of the Org.

To be promoted to member, you have to post on a regular basis, following the Org's rules, i.e. keep it friendly, civilised and helpfull, in short: just be a nice guy. After a few weeks you'll be promoted to full member and you gain access to all forums (and you'll also gain a handy edit button), with the exception of the Backroom, where people discuss politics. To gain acces to the Backroom, you have to ask permission to the mods.

For further information, you can read The Guild FAQ, which is situated right here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=45416).

:bow:

[Franconicus]

... What is the promotion to member, when it happens?:inquisitive:

This message should be sent to all new members:

You have to show that you have a serious interest in the org. That means that you are expected to post some serious posts. Number is not the issue. A few good posts are better than a 1,000 spams. Then you will receive full member status and can visit and post in all corners of the forum, even in the dark ones like bad backroom (what you should not do, of course, but you will do it anyway, just as we all did!)

[Motep]

hello long time lurker first time poster. i really enjoy the total war series and i cant wait to get my hands on the newer games in the series when i stop being cheap and upgrade my pc.

So it's a moderator's job to move one from junior to senior, or maybe it is hard coded too? :laugh4:

Hey, Out here. New-ish - I have a habit of hiding in the dark corners of forums, gleaning bits of information and not actually participating, but I figured I'd come out and at least say hi.

From Michigan, going to Calvin College up here. Been a fan of the Total War games for ages, and just happened upon this website one day as I was searching for Total War information. I've played Shogun, Rome, and MII, so I guess I should just go buy Medieval I, just to say I've played them all?

Of course, now that I've posted, I'll probably become a posting addict...

Just post in a friendly, civilised manner, on a regular basis. Be helpfull and you'll be promoted in no time (usually 3 or 4 weeks).

However, if you came here to play mafia games, you can pm Sasaki Kojiro (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/member.php?u=5584), who moderates the gameroom. Just tell him which Org member recommended you to play mafia games and maybe he can do you a favour.
