Just a reminder: If you are reinstalling VI from the ground up, you do not need to add the 1.1 patch to MTW before (or after) adding VI. VI has the MTW 1.1 patch in the install.Quote:
1.1 is the latest for MTW.
2.01 is the latest for VI.
Some folks have had problems because of this error.
All you need is MTW, VI, and the 2.01 patch :2thumbsup:
Dedicated meaning a copy of VI dedicated to only playing the Samurai mod.Quote:
dedicated copy = including the sound files?
That way there would be no swap files involved. No fuss no muss :beam:
Just remembering (or trying to): Some sound files did not have STW counterparts so substitutions had to be made. And the voice files had to be done seperately, but I don't remember the details on that. Was there a program to help...sorry I should just start looking through my file collection :yes:
After beta8 is released, I'll be transferring the sounds from STW, and I'll post my method at that time.
Okay, as said before, the beta_8 will be a complete overwrite.Quote:

A paralell install with other mods is also not possible.
For the stats and sounds this means that no swapping is required anymore.
The installer will only be a single file and it will also install the sound import tool from TosaInu. (it needs slight alterations, though)

I've been looking into checking this mod out, but decided to wait until the beta_8 was out. Never tried any other MTW mods before, so please forgive my ignorance. I should be able to install a second MTW/VI instance on my PC, and then put the beta_8 over top of that, while still maintaining my original vanilla MTW/VI, correct?
It's looking good, can't wait to try it out. :2thumbsup:

But you can't use the install routine that's on the CD, that would give you an error telling you that you already have it installed. What you have to do to get a second install is actually much simpler (You just need your Windows Explorer and your mouse):
1. Find the main "Medieval - Total War" folder on your harddisk. (default path is "C:\Programs\Medieval - Total War"
2. Right click on the main folder and select "copy"
3. Right click in the parent directory ("C:\Programs\" in this example) and select "Paste" (Insert). Your PC will now make a new folder called "Copy of Medieval - Total War" in the directory C:\Programs\
4. Your "Programs" folder now contains two versions of Medieval:
"C:\Programs\Medieval - Total War" and
"C:\Programs\Copy of Medieval - Total War"
5.You may now rename the "copy of" to "Samurai warlords" by right clicking the folder and changing the properties/ the name. (not required but looks better)
6. As a last step you find the Medieval.exe file in your new folder "copy of...." and with the right mouse button drag it to the desktop and drop it there. From the menu that pops up when doing so, select "Create Shortcut".
You now have a second copy of Medieval and a shortcut to it on your desktop.

Yes, surprisingly you can just copy the folder, despite the involved installer. There's nothing noticably changed by the lack of registry information. Total win.
Even better, thanks for the help. :bow:
