schiltrom

[The Devourer]

I was just wondering if it would be possible to put BI special abitilities like schiltrom and shieldwall into normal RTW, if so can you tell me how, thanks:2thumbsup:

Indirectly, yes. What you have to do is to edit the EDU to use those abilities and then run the original campaign using the BI.exe. So you must have the BI.exe in order for this to work.

Srry to sound kinda stupid but i dont know how to run the game using the BI.exe, i had a bit of a llok round this sight but.... no luck. :help:

If you have modified the files in your normal Rome - total war/data directory, then all you need to do is make a new shortcut for the BI.exe, right click it, select properties and in the target line after the last " type space then -mod
so finished result looks like:
"x:\activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod
that will run your RTW campaign through the BI.exe

And to state the obvious you do need to have bought BI to do this as it requires both the .exe file and disc to run it!

Thanks, i got it working now, but one problem, the picture for schiltrom is just a red square, it still works, but how can i put in the correct picture

ah, forgot that one, think you need to take the relevant UI/culture/interface tga's from BI together with the relevant .rsd files (battlepage_01.tga, battlepage_02.tga, battlepage_03.tga and battle3.rsd) and copy into RTW/data folder on same path (which you need to create folders for), that definitely works if you are using -mod:my_mod system and I think should if you are just working in RTW/data with - mod.
