EB v0.7.4 (patch)

Greetings Europa Barbarorum fans!

The EB team has been hard at work fixing the bugs you guys have helped us find. We're happy to be able to present the newest version of EB for you, which addresses every known CTD bug but for one (the reinforcement CTD). This replaces the 0.7.3a patch completely. It includes everything in 0.7.3a, plus the fixes I list below.

So without further ado, here are the installation links and instructions for each file:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Patch: EB Version 0.74 is a patch (68MB), and should be installed on top of EB v0.72. Version 0.72, as you know, needs to be installed on a clean, working version of RTW with the 1.2 patch installed, and with no other mods installed. We have no current information on how to help those who purchased the RTW Gold version.

Theoretically, v0.74 should be able to be installed over 0.72 + 0.73a, but occasionally users have reported problems with overwrites such as these. So, if any problems are encountered at all, an uninstall and reinstall is recommended.

These changes should be savegame compatible, though certain fixes (the Kypros port CTD fix for sure) may not begin working until you start a new campaign.

Please visit the Europa Barbarorum website for the 0.7.2 version, news, and other information.

Yay! :balloon2: ~:thumb:

What about the army merge thing? Is that fixed?

After the v.73 release, no one reported that bug.....so....uuuh....umm...yeah, we fixed it!!:sweatdrop:

Army merge thing?

If nothing else, 0.74 will be a boon to Twinky sales.

The army merge thing is either another CTD bug or it is the same one as the reinforcement bug I think, but those are the only two we still feel unsure about (maybe till something is reported for 074 now :grin:). But we haven't clearly resolved that merge bug. I do agree with Kull that no one has reported it lately though, so maybe that's a good sign too.

I just ordered RTW Gold, should I just cancel the order or will this mod become compatible in the future?

It will be finally ported to 1.5 version. If everything will continue so good it is at the moment It will be earlier than MTW2 ~:)

Good :2thumbsup:

So RTW Gold is version 1.5?
I think I have heard something about a way to depatch the 1.5 to 1.2.
Am i wrong?

RTW Gold has BI/1.6 installed, so even after our move to 1.5 there will be a problem, and we don't know if we will ever move to BI.

I have not heard of this way to de-patch, if you will, but that doesn't mean it does not exist.

great patch, thank you EB!

Great work lads, thanks for hearing and responding so quickly to our needs :)

Keep up the good work :)

I was told that 1.6 only applies when you are playing BI, and that if you play the non-BI version of RTW Gold, that you are essentially playing 1.5. Is that incorrect? Do you load it up as two different games? I have no idea how it works, but there still may be hope that RTW Gold can play our 1.5 port. Someone smarter than me will have to fill us in on that though.

Actually, I've no idea, perhaps someone who has RTW Gold can enlighten us.

I'm no tech head but I suspect you are right and there will be no problem. As I understand it, the 1.6 patch does the same to vanilla RTW as the 1.5 patch; it differs only in also modifying the BI specific files.

I suspect the RTW Gold people just get the same as what the BI + RTW owners have, but just had the RTW parts already patched.

That's correct. If you've installed RTW Gold, it applies 1.5 to the vanilla RTW game and 1.6 to BI. So when you play BI, you're playing with the 1.6 patch, or if you're playing RTW, you're playing with the 1.5 patch.

Least, that's how I understand it. Yeah, I think it's the same as simply patching the game normally, just it already comes pre-patched.

Edit: clarified my post slightly.

The version numbers work like this:

1.0 RTW (out of the box)
1.1 RTW (first quick patch)
1.2 RTW (second bigger patch)
1.3 RTW (RTW after installation of BI - also separately downloadable)
1.4 BI (out of the box)
1.5 RTW (RTW after installation of BI 1.6 patch)
1.6 BI (first patch for BI)

It sounds like RTW Gold will be the latest version - that is RTW 1.5/BI 1.6. A 1.5 version of EB should be compatible with it.

Assuming Alexander: Total War doesn't add any new patches to the mix.

I've heard alot of people who were able to run EB after they bought Rtw gold. I believe they just unzipped the zipped 1.2 patch over it or something like that. But it is possible, I'm not sure how but it is.

Thank you for the info!
It sounds like I have some hope after all~:)

I don't know if it the way I told will work but there is some way of that I'm sure.

You ate a twinkie! How could you!:sweatdrop:

I am finally downloading the patch after a whole month of M&B playing. :dizzy2:

Time to come back to my old friends, RTW. :book:

Oo, it's gonna' feel good brother. I've been there, done that, and let me tell you brother, ain't nothing like EB. Now get ready, EBmania is gonn'a run wild all over you!

Today I had my first RTW experience. I must say that I have no interest in playing the vanilla, the game just feels plain weird. (When I saw the "historical" battle of Raphia I nearly had a heart attack:wall:) Still, the engine has great potential and now I´m waiting impatiently for my first EB experience:2thumbsup:

Great patch! No more CTDs, and wonderful new traits functions such as the supply traits!

Edit: And the voice mod, how could I forget to mention? Wonderful voice acting and in correct languages too, very impressive and ambitious! :2thumbsup:

Hello,
my english is too poor so i'm not abble to perfectly read all the forum.
But i nevertheless wish congratulate Europa Barbarum team for its superb work !
If it's possible I would like to know roughly the new mod release date.
Thanks a lot.

Welcome to the forums. ~:wave:
The forums are a great way to improve your English.

The new mod release date should be soon, I think. 2 or 3 weeks perhaps? :book:

GUYS, I NEED MAJOR BACK UP I HAVE:
1-uninstalled RTW and its mods
2-re-installed it,
3-dled patch 1.2 for RTW
4-dled EB .7.2
5-dled EB .7.4

AND I GET THIS ERROR WHEN i TRY TO RUN IT, it reads:
"data/descr_event_images.txt at line 623, column 1
unknown event string faction defeated by player"

:help:

That is a corrupt download.

Uninstall
Reinstall
Install 1.2 patch
Install EB 0.72
Check that EB works. If it doesn't redownload, if it does ...
Install EB 0.74
If EB doesn't work then 0.74 needs to be downloaded again.

Hey thanks for the advice, but I figured it out last night at 2:00am (after trying on and off for 6hr):sweatdrop:

-Ur right, the patch 1.2 download was corrupt. All the links that were in EB.com had the patch 1.2 but they didn't work (they were zip files). Also www.rometotalwar.com doesn't have a link to patch 1.2, it has 1.3, 1.5. and 1.6. (I tried 1.3 & 1.5, and then 1.3 on its own and didn't work).

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Finaly I went to ACTIVISION.com and they did have a 1.2pacth that worked, it wasn't a zip file, and was 53.+mb.

-I gotta give it to you fellas EB was what RTW was really meant to be. :2thumbsup:
I know this sounds wierd but to make an analgy: "Finding EB was like finding the woman of your dreams in a room full of women."

"Finding EB was like finding the woman of your dreams in a room full of women."
Not sure what it means, but I've signature quoted it nonetheless

He means this:
"EB is like finding a virgin in a bordello"

~D

[QUOTE=edyzmedieval]He means this:
"EB is like finding a virgin in a bordello"

Meaning it costs extra and involves a substantial risk of your todger rotting and falling off?

Sounds like English humor... :shame:

No, I mean EB is a very good and rare thing.:book:

:) congratulations on the patch.

I'm back after not playing for a while and the patch being out has made me want to play more.. along with seeing Braveheart this evening on TV (I don't know why it made me have the urge to lead some armies into battle! :) )

Thanks
David

The patch is a bit old. Wait for the incoming 1.5 port.

It can be a bit confusing so here is an example:

Say you go to a club that you have never been to and there are a lot of women, and some are real preatty and you like them. So you keep walking around seeing and taking account of the # of hot women. BUT THEN, all of the sudden you see THE ONE. And all of the other women fall short of matching her.

Its something that has happened to me on a few, rare occasions.

Now the analogy is: "You buy RTW, you play it, you also play some of the mods that there are, and they are good. BUT once you bump into EB you say THIS IS THE ONE" And rest fall short.

I hope this helps.... (however feel free to change it a bit if you like, since I based this on my personal expireices ~:thumb: )

explain mine then

well that one is easier to relate to dude (therefore easier to understand)...

BUT I was in a similar situation and it was not fun:
Club, full of guys, 5 fine looking women. Of the 5, 2 were dikes, 2 had a bfriends, and the last 1 was just darn tired of having guys walking up to her. I asked to dance to each TWICE and nothing. ~:pissed:

Good 'cos I was worried it'd give sort of "The Crying Game" vibe

<quote>2 were dikes<quote/>

What dikes means?

Isn't it where the Dutch live?:idea2:

A pluralisation of the Greek Goddess of Moral Justice?

Well, as stated above, dikes are common in lowlying areas, to stop flooding and channel waters in the proper directions. Therefore, when a woman is called a "dike," it means she ain't having none of you (that is, you are the flood waters, and she's the dike...you ain't getting nowhere with her OR her friends...she's also known as a "cb"...like the radio). Have a nice day!

oh, and why not play .7.4? we don't know when .8 will be out, and a game on .7.4 can be a lot of fun so long as you can play long enough to avoid compounding the load/save issues.

I was simpply giving a suggestion. I'm not trying to say anything bad about EB. Hell, EB is my favourite mod.

so, most of the CTD's are fixed then? Like, one could play a campagin in EB now? Or am I just waisting my time...

I had no CTD's with 0.74, nor with 0.72.

So, it's safe to play. :thumbsup:

Shokran Edzy, I shall install it now...

What's shokran? :inquisitive:

It's a word meaning "thank you", I believe.

I dont think you need to install the 1.2 patch. Because i think it comes with the game already. but i could be wrong. so someone correct me if im terrible wrong. but from what i remember i didn't need to put the patch on. cuz i had that same error once.

No RTW box version comes patched. All cds are the same version when they ship, and remain that way unless some catastrophic bugs occur in certain released games in which case the defected versions are usually recalled (which doesn't really matter, cause most people would have returned the game at that point anyway). Officially though, BI is 1.6, but that is because it was released that way, and the fixes that are meant for vanilla RTW that come pre-patched in BI were released as the 1.5 patch.

I wonder what happens when you install EB over 1.0... :inquisitive:

Not exactly. Standard R:TW comes unpatched, but if you install BI it will be patched to 1.3. There is also a gold edition which comes with BI and is already patched to 1.5 (and 1.6 for BI).

I've instaled this patch in hope of resolving a bunch of bugs i had in 0.72
..but there are some things that are still the same, and i don't know if it's my game or if it haven't been adressed yet.. the seleucid emblem bug is solved, but the Voice is still greek for the Roman Faction.. i don't know if the patch was suposed to correct this because i haven't found anything about what is already corrected..

and there is something i noticed while playing..some buildings have strange icons, opac ones, not transparent, and some buildings and names in english and say that it needs translation and others without description at all, anyone has the same problem? or is it my game? should i redownload, reinstall the game and the mod?

Most of the bugs have been adressed. :thumbsup:
They will be fixed in the next version, v0.8. ~:)

hi,
i´m new to EB and after all i read here, i wonder if it´s still worth to install version 0.7.4 ? how are the chances for 0.8 to be ready soon ? i wouldn´t like to reinstall everything again in 2 days :laugh4:

I wouldn't worry about 2 days, we are not that close. Also, I don't want to give a timeframe that would give people hope ... but I will offer this - we are making progress and things are moving. Paitence, and play some 0.74 - you know you want to!

Foot

oh yes... you are right :) i wanted, and i did ;)
i like it very much, even its surely not complete at all .... lots of missing stuff etc, but thats why its a beta i think :)

but there was one thing i notices immediately in my first battle. i suppose it was already noticed by others due to the fact that the patch is rather old meanwhile, but if not, then its my duty to do it:

in battles, after you got all enemy units to rout, the battle does not end as it should. means, even if all remaining units had left the battlefield there is no messages which ends the battle. i made 4 battles until now... 2 were normal, but in the other two i had this problem.
the messages comes, but much too late. once i had to wait for 5 minutes with battlespeed on maximux till i could leave the battle.

just wanted to tell you :phonecall: :knuddel:

That's very weird. I don't think anybody experienced this before. :help:

Nonetheless, welcome to the wonderful world of EB! ~D

I had the same problem on some battles. I had routed all enemy's on the battlefield, but no message came. Then i realieed that some enemy units had get stuck in the forest. On the battlemap was a deep forest with these unnatural giant trees. The trees were so near to each other that some enemy units can't get through them (i found them with radar on max zoom).

i'm almost sure that you run into the same problem

yes, absolutely right. i forgot to say that ;) there was a big forest and i assumed that there could be some units stuck, but i couldn&#180; find them .... but if you had the same problem, it must be the reason.
damn, i hate those trees ......:furious3:

pls EB-team, make them smaller !!!!:help: :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop:

We've discussed it, but it might not get fixed immediately. The next build is focused on three things really: getting a build on 1.5, getting the new units in, getting the unit recruitment system restarted (after the F5 storm that was 1.5 wreaked its havoc on our entire system - from governments to MIC's to reforms - we have been a bunch of very unhappy campers... that is until we've seen just how many new units will be in it :grin:).

So there will still be problems - and things we want to fix, and gaps, but we're really trying to get UI cards all done and up to speed since that was a big complaint for the beta release. Trees are still up for discussion, but we are thinking about them.

Could some other modder loan some tree models? Didn't Duke John offer than in his tree thread in the scriptorium?

And I've had the battle delay thing as well, but it was in an open, grassy field. The enemy units was almost entirely decimated, except for five soldiers. They each went in one of two directions, but with 100 meters or more between them. It took me forever to spot them and hunt them down. I don't see how that could be an EB thing though; more likely, its just that I've played a lot more RTW post-EB than before, so now is the first time I've noticed it.

glad to hear you´re thinking about it Archelaou :) its not really difficult to implement.

for all the other who didn´t want to wait, here is a link with a tree-mod from a modder of the rtr-forum.
it should work with EB too without any problems, i just hadn´t had the time to test it yet, but i will do so later.
just make a backup copy of those changed files, and if there are problems, replace them again with the originals ;)

http://forums.rometotalrealism.org/i...howtopic=11764

scroll down a bit and download version 1.1 ... there are screenshots as well.

Hi all!
I just decided that I'll start playing Rome total war again. So I looked through the mods, and found this one. It sounds really interesting, and I decided to download it.
The only problem is, none of those links for 0.7.4 patch work, and I can't find any from the google neither. Does anyone here know where I could get it?

The patch can be found here.

Welcome to the Org, BTW ~:wave: .

My best guess, is that I have already got rome patch verion 1.2 or stuff..


And i installed EB on it..
I want to start the game...the background of EB appears, put suddnely, it boots me back to desktop.

Wus wrong.?
:no:

This looks like a great a mod. Shame on me for not having found out about this sooner. Anyway, congrats to the EB team for a job well done!

Btw, would this work on RTW 1.3? I really want to know as I don't want to spend 9+ hours downloading EB only to find out that it isn't compatible...

-1.2 right now.
-Some people have figured out how to make it work on 1.5 though, but it's not something EB itself supports.
-The 0.8 build will be for 1.5.

:help:


Wants to play EB, asap..!


Got it dl and installed...
But...when the game starts...I see the EB back ground and stuff..


and then..pooof...BOOTED back to desktop.
:wall:

do you have "show_err" command enabled?

So, I'm guessing that it won't be compatible with 1.3 then. So I have to downgrade to 1.2 or should I just go 1.5. Btw, I'm having problems installing the patches as they just crash my game so I really don't know what to do for me to be able to play with this mod.

Rather than trying to downgrade, just uninstall, reinstall, patch to 1.2, then EB 7.2 and 7.4. Start a new campaign and enjoy.
