Checking Interest: RTW Hotseat Campaign

tom0, yes, pretty sure its 9pm

And elite, i think if you go to "my computer" and right click your disc, it will have the option to install or run the program.

Start date will be when everyone has everything ready, so no one worry about it.

And turn time will be about 24 hours a turn? If that's too short let me know..we can work it out for everyone. Also, my turn my take longer since that is when the majority of voting willl occur.

doing that just brings up the launch.exe but it doesn't matter I've removed all signs of RTW on my PC now and will start reinstalling everything.

That is what I did.

I downloaded the vanilla mungdus magnus map but I have encoutered a problem, I had the option of extracting the file so I did to the RTW/data file, my campaign map loads up fine but it is just the 1.5 vanilla map.

okay I've got it working and am ready to go.

The new map is under provinvial campaign..dont hit imperial go to provincial then select Mundus magnus.

Both of you have the recruitable generals?

And sorry, Elite, that I couldnt figure out a way to make it so you didnt have to re-install it.

I'll check the recruitable generals now, and test the hotseats. Don't worry about the re-install. I usually play M2TW if I ever play single player, which is rare, so it doesn't matter.

:beam:

Zim, how are you fairing? Need any help setting stuff up?

BTW, this looks like it'll be great. If this goes well, look forward to awards for all of us next year :laugh4:

Reinstalling everything right now. Like EF, I don't play single player, so it won't be a problem. :yes:

Ok, I may have a problem. I'm housesitting for a friend, and for some reason can't download large files on their connection (I get some kind of error). I'll have to use dialup to get the map mod, which just means it could take a while. Will be ready by tomorrow.

okay I have everything working but the script. I have followed the instructions very carefully but when I hit the question mark on the shortcut menu no advisor comes up, I'll attempt to sort this out now.

Doesnt look like we are gonna start today...so we can start on a timely basis, all players post this when they are ready:

-Installed clean RTW
-Downloaded patch v1.5 and applied it
-Donloaded Mydraal's script generator and generated script
-Copied export_descr_buildings from post above into data folder
-Downloaded Mundus Magnus and succesfully put it into data folder


If you don't have all these, please post the ones you do have and ill try to walk you through what you don't have.

I have done all of those but I cannot get the script to work in game.

I have done everyhing except the map, i cannot find provincial campaign

I still have to download the map. Still having problems downloading here where I'm housesitting, but I'm going home to pick a few things up. I'll download it there and put it on my thumb drive. :2thumbsup:

Zim, seems like you've got it under contrl :2thumbsup:

Elite...maybe try to follow the directions again? post exactly what you did.

Tom0....i told you around 4 times now...you dont download provincial campaign...click single player and it should be at the bottom of the list. Provincial campaign is a space for anything other then the original campaign...again you dont download it its just a sub-section..

Its not there, prologue, imperial campaign, custom battle, quick battle < all i have

Appearances can be deceiving... :sweatdrop: Got the the apartment and my wireless is down. :furious3: I'll keep working on it, but if you find another potential player who can get his act together, I won't mind. I don't want to hold anyone up.

well seeing as none of us have it working you're not holding up anything. I'll have another look but I made sure I followed the instructions to the word, the problem may be with the advisor, on the instructions it said there should be an advisor coming up when you press the question mark without the new script but for me nothing happens.

...I have it working...maybe i should just upload my data folder for you guys?

That would be good, I still cannot find provoncial campaign, I am patched up to rtw 1.5 no mods

will contact TosaInu..and get back to you guys asap :2thumbsup:

Perfect, i found a free 5g uploader.

My question to you guys is: Does everyone have BI? this way, i can post my RTW BI.exe version...it has much more things then the vanilla RTW and adds to the experience, dont worry its still RTW v1.5.

The 5g uploader didnt work, and Tosa says it is unnecasary.

Instead, i am using the Org.'s uploader.

Will edit this post shortly to post the link (if Tosa is on).
Instructions (though no needed) are in the zipped folder, just make sure you unzip it before using the contents. Also, the script is already generated, so do not generate a new script.

We can begin when everyone is ready!

Just post saying "ready" or something. Turn will start with the Julii, then Brutii, then Scipii, then Senate. Voting can occur anytime inbetween, but it is prefered we discuss laws on my turn.

There are no current offices.

Read posts above thouroughly one last time to understand the rules.

There will be 3 threads (minimum) in which we will post. OOC, Senate, and Campaign. No one is to post in the Mandates of the Republic thread, but it is expected to check it regularly as it holds orders and laws.

HERE IS THE LINK!!!

Now, we can begin when everyone posts they have it working :yes:

Also, make sure you go over these, this will be the rules for the first few turns:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

-No one will hold office the first year (altough all Julii, Brutii, Scipii, and Maxentius are senators and can vote). This means the Senate is in that "Semi-random" state. Therefore, The Senate will have all offices, including Aedile.

-No taxes first year, since there are no Quaestors to investigate if you lie.

-Julii will go first. ALL PLAYERS IGNORE THE FIRST SENATE MISSION. (the one about taking Segesta or something)

-Since the first turn (first 6 months) has nothing known, all players will report (in order) there current military. Building and recruiting on the first two years will be the ONLY years in which The Senate gives you permission to do so on private funds. All building and recruiting after the first two years (four turns) must be requested to the Aedile, who will ask the Senate, who will provide the funds. Thus, building on the first two years will be from your own private funds. Recruiting will also be from your private funds.

-On the first 6 months, no one will be allowed to attack anything. When the game reaches the Senate (me) we will hold votes on where to attack, and with who. We will also be divising the main laws for Rome after the first 6 months, so think wisely. In the winter, everyone will do as requested (hopefully).

-CIVIL WARS ARE POSSIBLE!! I dont think it was too clear, but yes. They can happen. Just be wary of permanent consequences for threatening the Senate.

-The Game thread has numerous examples of how to use it, as does the Senate thread. No one is to write in the Mandates of The Republic thread, but it is advised you check on it often, as it holds laws, orders, and things of the sort.

-The first post in The Senate thread will constantly be edited and changed to show who holds what offices, and for how long.

Grr I have CTD

Hmm i thought someone might, based on the problems you have had before you might want to re-install again. I tried all the files myself and they work fine.

Also, make sure you patch up to v1.5 (not 1.6) before adding these files.

Anyone else?

Do you guys stil want to play?? I saw one of you (no naming) online, PMed you, but you didnt reply...I guess I can find new people if you guys dont want to play...

I assure you, if I can get it working then I am in. I don't want to hold ou up though.

Ha! I know what I did. When I put the map in that zip folder, I didnt include some sm_faction stuff.

So, everything in that folder, put all of it into your data folder (even the map).

Im then going to give you the download link to the map, you can then download it and put all that stuff in your data folder.

Here it is (this is mundus magnus)

So, when you put in the Map, if it says replace then click yes. It is just replacing the map info i gave you.

Guide:
Download "The Glory of Rome" zip
Place contents of data folder into /data folder
download mundus magnus from link above
follow instructions (put all contents into data folder basically)
done!

We may need to find a replacement for Elite though, he has exams (he PMed me) and cant devote time.

I should have time to play if this sorts out the problem but otherwise I'm too busy to start from scratch, downloading now.

edit:still wont start up game, count me out.

:laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:

Found it!!! And, yes, I tested it...it works gauruntee!!!


open up export_descr_advice
press ctrl-f (to find)
type in descr_script

erase the line:
script scripts\show_me\descr_script.txt


Hahaha! it was a script from my older games that i forgot to take out!

elite, if you can play, this fixes it. I tried it all, provincial works, hotseat script works, its all good! we can play!
