Hm,the new link is working fine for me. :charge: Thx u very much! :)
Hi, I do everything that it has to do, and it continues appearing this window when I put in the campaign "please, select an item from list".., in the battle neither it ends up to coming in. Help me please.
I've got the same problem...i'm trying to run EB through ALX.exe i have done all the fixes in the first post, have changed the ebconfig...wot else is there? It still says "Please select an item from the list".
Its infuriating lol...anyone know whats up? The posts about this seem to be ignored, so there's no answer to follow that i can find...and i did search through all 30 pages of this thread. The only answer i saw was to OverweightNinja's problem, and that was to do with adding -noalexander...and i've done that.
At the moment, EB loads and opens, but the main campaign only comes up with the message of please select one from the list. This is what my target looks like:-
"C:\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:eb -noalexander''
Are there any mistakes? I manually changed the things on the first post using c&p, so its possible they could be slightly wrong, would any of those affect the campaign?
This is a fresh install of Rome (1.5) and Alexander, and EB with all the permanent and optional fixes, as this is a different comp from my usual EB station, so theres no other mods to clash.
I hope this range of information prompts a few more responses and hopefully solutions than just saying it doesnt work. Help is greatly appreciated, and if you know why it doesnt work due to that message please post solutions, i've spent my entire evening trying to make this work.
Thanks
something must have gone wrong when editing the files...
I've a heavily moddified EB and it works without problems.
did you downloaded maksimus' original files? , I suggest doing so, backup the next files of your EB instalation: EDCT, export_descr_VnVs_enums.txt, export_VnVns (in text folder) and descr_strat
then unpack maksimus files , and after that... copy&paste your backup files back to where they were , overwriting maksimus' and do all the changes in those files, remember you must use windows notepad to edit export_vnvs.txt
from what I've heard , if you have a problem when starting a campaign is caused by errors in EDCT, alternately , if you don't have any other minimods installed , you could use the link above
and as a side note... why you're not using trivial script? , its better! :yes:
the instructions to moddify it are in page 38 of this thread , but here they go nonetheless
1-open your ebconfig.xml file (with any text editor , but I suggest notepad++ here) located in your RTW folder
2- go to line 215 or alternately search for .exe and change that line so it looks like this:
<Text>RomeTW-ALX.exe -mod:eb -noalexander -show_err</Text>
now you can use your regular EB shortcut , NOT the one with the changed target line
Hey, first of all thanks for putting alex.exe to work.now on to what i am thinking.The getai with alex beta 2 lite are nearly impossible to play. One of the reasons is that when i build a building that is suppose to make the population increase nothing seems to happen with the % is that the way it was designed ?:inquisitive:
@Lz3, thanks for the reply mate, i'm gonna delete the modded files and replace them with the originals so i can start over again i think, following instructions again.
Um... is the alex eaem beta 2 for E.B. 1.0 or E.B. 1.1?:inquisitive:
I think its for 1.1 but its not updated with the latest fixes...:sweatdrop:
Maksimus just emailed me it said the eb alex was paused does anybody know why.
look at the previous page... if not, the one before that...
Just read that and yes please dont close the thread or give up thanks you guys rock~:wave:
So after I've got a clean and working ALX.exe, which folder do I install EB into? Usually, I just drop it into the RTW folder but I don't believe that's right. I'm in the process of installing it all right now so if anyone knows the correct location to drop EB then I sure could use your help.
emm you mean vanilla alex right?Quote:

then just use my files (not maksimus , those are outdated , heheh clic on my signature 2nd link)
hey lz3 is the updated alex.exe compatible with the ai balancing mini mod?
em I don't really think so, in fact I bealive those files were made for 1.0 :book2: heheh
Aw crap. I wish I had known that. I finished installing ALX.exe with EB like 20 minutes ago. I also installed that mod-pack of yours to go with it. It's working great so far. Anyway, what sort of files are outdated? Is there a way I can still get yours without reinstalling the whole thing since it took me almost 2 and 1/2 hours to download everything and then I spent alot of time tweaking around with the script :gah:Quote:

well first to be sure... you have EB folder , Alexander folder in the same directory right? (not one inside another)
just donwload my pack and unpack it in your Rome - total war folder , that should do it , not a single other process to be done
(my pack works with trivial script , so just use EB original shortcuts)
Yeah, I have everything in the correct location. I'll download your pack right now. It's the second link on your sig, right?Quote:

my pack or the files for alex EB alone?
either way , I think the link in my pack thread is working , just try the ALEX backup files , they are the same as the link provided here, I think that one works...
Hmmm, I already have your mini mod pack downloaded. I'm only trying to download the files for Alex EB. You know... the ones which you said Maskimus' links were outdated on?Quote:

When I click on it, it takes me directly to the FileFront.com homepage. It won't take me to the download and I can't seem to find it. Could there be something wrong with my computer?
defiant go to post #870 i know that on works
:yes:
AHA nice one! Good call dude. Have a shiny green balloon :balloon2:Quote:

People, for what serves that trivial script? Here when I put to open of the mistake "failed have open cadges"
Obs: Here I am using the Windows Web Server 2008..( It can be useful)
trivial script allows you to personalize your EB in an easier way , (start > programs > EB > configuration)Quote:

to edit those file you need to right click it and then "open with" and select a text editor :yes:
Another one doubts.. How does EB.Alex have make the same runs in "Windows mode"? how?
Dont think there's a way to play on windows mode lad
add -ne to the end of the target line in the shortcut to alex-eb. The game will run as a window (though this will only be noticeable if the desktop resolution is higher than the ingame resolution.

*Coughs* Ma bad :sweatdrop:
or... that would be line 215 of the ebconfig for trivial scriptQuote:
