Im having troulbe installing this mod. I looked at the readme but everything is so confusing to me, with all the .pak files and as to where and how I have to unpack them.
I was wondering if someone could help me or possible unpack the files and send them to me in a zip file and jus tell me where to put them?
I know it would be some trouble on ur end to do this but Id greatly appricate it.
thanks
Unfortunately, it's not as easy as that.
The paks it refers to already exist in the game in your packs folder. They contain the default faction symbols (among many other things). The only way to change them is by removing the paks (by renaming them so the game doesn't reference them), trouble is you remove them and you remove all the other info in them and the game won't run.
So first you have to unpak the pak files to get the files out of them, put them in the correct directory structure in the main Data folder, rename the original paks and then you'll be able to change the files.
It's not a very easy install process, it would have been far better to use a patch pak which could have just been put in the packs folder, or an RMOD would have been even easier.
I can't do it myself, alas, as I'm away from my copy of RTW for a while. If you want to give it a go yourself then Monkwarrior posted an excellent tutorial as to how to create patch paks here.

Alright. So I'm about to install Mundus Magna..And as stated, I tried to extra the install.zip straight into the Data folder, and I got:
ERROR: Access is Denied.
Cannot create E:\Setup\data\install.zip.
What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix it?
I know very little about this stuff, but it sounds like you've got some sort of write-protection on your data folder. If it's a problem with the extract function try extracting them somewhere else and then pasting them across.
