EB v0.81a Hotfix released

Greetings Europa Barbarorum fans.

https://img254.imageshack.us/img254/...ncementul6.jpg

Here's a hotfix that corrects some bugs & CTDs that were discovered after the release of 0.81. Unfortunately, it isn't savegame compatible so if you have a kick ass campaign, you should finish that one before installing. As said this is a hotfix and does not add anything new at all, just fixes some bugs that crept in. Below are links to the hotfix itself followed by a list of changes and below it are detailed installation instructions.


Here are the links for the v0.81a hotfix:

Dead Link: EB FTP Patch
EB FTP Full installer
Torrent Full installer

A new EDB fix for those who wish to test it!!


Note: The hotfix file ("EB FTP Patch") has been removed until such time as we can get it working properly (in many cases it seems to delete the entire EB file set instead of upgrading it). So as an interim step, here is the link to the zip file we used for the last internal build. It has all the same files (except the Readme), and it should work for anybody who hasn't already used the previous Hotfix installer. The zip file is designed to be installed into the RTW Root directory (i.e the one above "EB") and will automatically place all files in the correct folders.

WARNING - If you are a zip file noob and the above information is unclear and you need explicit handholding, don't even try this. Just get the EB v.81a Full Installer (@ 370MB) and install it on a clean RTW 1.5 build.


List of fixes included in the Release:

Past experience indicates that many of the reported problems with EB involve bad installations of either RTW or EB. If you have already installed EB v.81 and are not having any problems with it, then you can install the hotfix on top of your v.81 build. However, the hotfix is NOT COMPATIBLE with previous save games, and you WILL have problems if you try to use an old save game with this new build.

If you are having problems with your old v.81 campaign or this is your first taste of EB, then follow these instructions EXACTLY and you should not have a problem:

1. Install RTW 1.0
2. Update RTW with the v1.3 Patch
3. Update RTW with the v1.5 Patch
4. Load a game to make sure RTW is working (i.e. it should list the version number on one of the screens - see "Note" below for details), and after confirming the version number, shut it down
5. Copy this entire folder to a new directory and rename THE COPY (for example, instead of "Rome: Total War" it would be "Rome-EB")
6. Install EB v.81 into the new "Rome-EB" directory
7. Load a game to make sure EB v.81 is working (you MUST load the game using the desktop shortcut created during the installation process), and after confirming that it loads properly, shut it down
8. Install the EB v.81a Hotfix into the new "Rome-EB" directory
9. Load a game using the EBv81a desktop shortcut created during the installation process (The EB Menu screen will have "ver. 0.8.1a" imprinted on the bottom left)

Note: If you have a newer version of RTW, or just aren't sure what version it is, be sure to load it and check. Launch a game of "vanilla", and at the RTW Menu screen, select "Options". The version number will appear on the top right of the next screen.

Well there goes my two days off... Thanks alot EB Team! :2thumbsup: It would seem my pushers of RTW goodness are unrelenting and my addiction is turning for the worse. There is no hope for me anymore as I have started to make mini modifications myself... :no:

sigh :(

i got to 202bc and it kept and kept crashing
but it took me soo look to get to where i did
cos i in all my loserness did the punic wars(so far, historically correct)
damn what do i do hmmm

Great work guy's . This goes for all of you working on this fabulous mod.
I've only got one ( maybe dumb ) question.
How far is EB currently in development ? What I mean is for example are most units already in the game or just 20-50-80 % and /or are you planning a lot of other adjustments big or small ? I'm pretty new to the game joint last week. Please dont mind my english I'm from the Netherlands.
Please keep up the good work. :2thumbsup:

We're roughly at 350 units of a possible 500 (keep in mind that vanilla had something like 100). And there are also a lot of beautiful new Standard Bearers and Generals coming (both units and the individual leaders themselves). And we definitely have some major new features in the works. Quite a few, actually. So yes, there's a lot more to come, but in the meantime EB v.81a is what most mods and companies would call a "finished product". But not us! :2thumbsup:

Well, that's the reason EB_team earns the respect they get one thousand times more :2thumbsup:
Good job!
(again :laugh4: )

Huzzah! and I was just getting angry with my romani and greco campaigns! Time to hire an "escort service" for the EB team.

There was a big EDU update and it was submitted somewhat late in the process. So holding up the entire patch just to get those two items wasn't a good idea. That doesn't mean they can't be updated and posted as a separate download - assuming somebody wants to marry up the features of the new EDU with those of the old specialized ones. (Hint: Winmerge is your friend).

I hate to do this, but the installer won't work for me. It works fine until I press 'install' and then it vanishes. Now when I start the game it says "Error loading mount database". I tried redownloading a few times and I tested installing it in an empty folder. It installed 227 files and 50.8 MB of stuff. I'll install the full thing from the scratch and I'll ask if there's more problems. Just to let you know there are people who can screw up even the most simplified patch installing.

Eh I didnt get the vanishing thing but when i boot up i get the error loading mount database and after clicking ok it says

"Script error in data/descr_mount.txt at line 100, collumn 1

Could not find battle model for mount 'Camel' "

I think I'll continue my romani campaign for the moment, its the first time Ive ever got to the marian reforms (since vanilla) and its going so well.

One question - is this compatible if you are using BI.exe? Ie, can you patch on top if you are running using BI?

Ditto on the above errors, im gettin both.

Getting problems with this patch. I get a CTD and this message:

"Generic error:unable to find skeleton fs_gladius":furious3:

Any help?:help:

get the same CTD ans the same message; btw i am playing with the bi.exe

It's an epidemic! Has anyone tried the full installer yet? I would but it's still 25 minutes away and it's almost midnight here. Nity-nite!

A message to the team: Don't stress yourselves out.

No, i have not tried the full installer; just the 0.81a patch over a very stable EB 0.81 BI.exe.

:help:

This really sounds like one of two things:

1) Installed the Hotfix somewhere other than on top of a v.81 build.

2) Installed the Hotfix on top of something less than the full v.81 build.

Edit: If somebody has successfully installed it (other than an EB Team Member), please post here.

hmm will you ever bring back the senate i mean just for show, it would be cool to see if you could chose who would elect certain generals or family members purely for role play purposes
it would be really quite cool
you could add it to cathage as well, seeing as they had a senate

purely for show, none of those stupid little missions

and if your capital is sacked - a general could get a dictator trait (going back to another topic i read) untill you restore order

but i must be dreaming, oh i hope not :X

Mine 'seems' to patch fine, but then never creates a desktop shortcut ...

Does anyone have the command to run it, so I can at least see whether it has patched ok

Installed hotfix over clean .81 install and got the gladius error.

Downloaded the full installer and put that over a clean v1.5 and it worked fine.

Had a problem with the shortcut so i couldn't start eb
installed over full eb 0.81 seemed fine but it corrupted my eb.exe
i'm now reinstalling 0.81 and patch.
i'll be in touch.

toi,toi, toi

I installed eb 0.81 again then installed 0.81a
7 mb takes about 20-30 minutes ( too long ?)
it validates install/removes files/copies new files/updates register/ removes files(again ) SHORTCUT DISAPPEARS / copies new files / install finished i'm able to look at read me en faq. AND THIS IS STRANGE THE NEW SHORTCUT DIRECTS ME TO THE FAQ AT THIS FORUM.

is there something i'm doing wrong or can you tell me where eb.exe went
cause this is missing too. ( it is not working anyway )

i hope this message will help.

ps. i'm not angry / the words in bold are just the important ones.:dizzy2:

0.81 over RTW 1.5

maybe it removes too many files RTW 1.5 has 6789 files 2,37 GB/ EB 0.81a has 6961 files 2,42 gb

Hmm...

If you install the patch, and get errors try to delete map.rwm.

You will 99.9% not be able to Multiplay then, but to me deleting map.rwm always seems to help somehow...

Could somebody with errors after installing the patch try?

Guys - Just to be sure, I uninstalled v.81a (i had a full up install):

- Next I copied a clean v.81 build.
- Then I installed the hotfix on top of the copy.
- I no longer had a shortcut after uninstalling, so I copied an old one and modified it.
- Launched the Game from the new shortcut
- No problems, everything worked

So there's not a problem with the Hotfix. All the files are correct and they install to the right place and everything does work.

You might doublecheck your desktop shortcuts to make sure they are referencing the -mod.

After reinstalling EB i get the same "gladius-error" as mentioned above; i think it is the bi.exe that does not work with 0.81a. Up to now i did not have tried the full 0.81a installer, always just the patch.

Has anybody managed it to run 0.81 over the bi.exe? If so, what is the recommended way of istalling it?

Thanks in advance!

I installed the 0.81 hotfix over the 0.81 mod

now it gets stuck on the splash screen - when I esc I get

a script error - could not find 'camel' model for mount

shouldnt the 0.81 shortcut work still??

well Kull i did the same things you did but no result can you be more specific
which shortcut you created

I get an error message saying:

Script error in data/descr_mount line 100, column 1
Could not find model "camel"

Clear v.81 + patch, same for both RTW and BI executables

As Krusader noted, go ahead and delete map.rwm before doing anything else - then tell us if that changed the results.

I deleted the map file as instructed

still no got camel

what exactly does your target line in your shortcut look like

Good - really glad to hear that. here's the target line:

"C:\Games\Rome - EB (v.81c)\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb -nm -show_err

Keep in mind that my directory is undoubtedly different than yours

deleted the map.rwm
and i still got no skeleton fs_gladius

did it not remove too many files just 50 mb difference between RTW 1.5 and EB 0.81a:dizzy2:

Glad to see this one out, will be installed as soon as possible. Does the hotfix include Cunctator's mod? And if not, is said mod compatible with .81a?

yep thats the same as mine


if you guys dont mind - im just going to stand in the corner and start crying now


boooo hooooo :embarassed:


If i unistall eb totally and reinstall it - will I still be able to play 0.81 or will it need a clean RTW 1.5

I get the same error with the camel. The only descr_mount file I can find is in the vanilla data folder though. That hasn't changed in the patch has it? As a side note, deleting that file leads to another error saying that saba is an invalid owner in another descr file.

Just installed the hotfix over prevoius 0.81 build, works like a charm. Using the BI method too so even with added complications, no problems. Thanks EB!

---

Was hoping it wasn't the new map.rwm. Glad to see it isn't. It only removes files from a temporary directory after installing, not from the RTW directory. My v.81c noted above has roughly 3.7GB, while the vanilla RTW 1.5 has roughly 2.4GB. So you are missing a LOT of files....in fact, it's apparent that the hotfix is sitting alone atop a 1.5 install.

Please do NOT start deleting files. That won't solve anything, and could make your problems much worse.

I just renamed it .old and back, I don't delete files. It was just easier to say, sorry abt that

For those having problems, i don't know why. But if you can install RTW, patch it up to v1.5, and then download and install the Full-up v.81a (it has EVERY EB file and doesn't need patches or hotfixes or anything), that should work.

Also, PLEASE READ THE README FILE!!

Speaking of which, hopefully nobody is installing the Hotfix in the RTW/EB folder, yes?

How did you managed it to run EB 0.81a with bi.exe wonderland? Which method did you use?

well Kull then my hotfix is really removing too many files as i stated
i try downloading the hotfix again

thanks for the help anyway i really appr. your assistance

Reinstalled 0.81 works like a charm. Then the same error after applying the hotfix

1) So you reinstalled v.81 and loaded a game and it worked?

2) Then you installed the Hotfix and tried to load a game and got the errors?

3) What directory is this file sitting in? (Europa Barbarorum v081a.rtf)

4) Did you use the same shortcut to launch both games?

1) yes

2) Yes, the error shows during the starting screen

3) In the RTW root with the exes, not the EB folder

4) The same shortcut

Am busy trying the Full Install. You can simply dump that one onto your previous EB install - as it will remove older EB files before installing the new ones. So, let me get back to you later or try the Full Install yourself. (The FTP server does an outstanding job with about 160kb/s transfer rate. :2thumbsup: )

Double-never mind - just try the full install on top of a clean 1.5 build

Just installed the full patch to a clean 1.5 and it works like a charm, even with the BI exe.

A parallel install of a clean v0.81 patched to v0.81a refuses to work however.


My advice to everyone: GET THE FULL PATCH - it's worth the wait

I edited above, but it's the d:\...\Rome - Total War (I just have it named "RTW - EB" to always have an unchanged vanilla installed as well)

Yes I installed it right too and got the errors, (installing the hotfix does put the readme in the folder with the exe right?)

Bah, there goes my plan to test the new patch before bed. On the other hand I have something to look forward to when I wake up :)

3 hr download and I wanted to play WoW... =/

Yes. The only thing I can think of is that some of you guys are getting corrupted downloads. You try and download the hotfix again (it's very small) and try that. I'll see about getting a link to the zip file we used to create the installer. That's faster than a full-up installation download.

As soon as the the initial troubles are solved, could someone please posta screenie of the new KH General? I don't feel like re-starting my KH campaing...but ..would love to see this new guy and see wha Im missing hehe.

Thanks to the EB team for the hard work!!

Install the hotfix, then follow those instructions exactly. Enjoy! I know I am. ~;)



-edit-
Btw, for those having problems, just try installing the hotfix to a folder of it's own, say on the desktop. Install the files, then manually drag them to the RTW folder where EB is installed. That's what I did.

For those of you who can't seem to get the Hotfix file to work, here is the link to the zip file we used for the last internal build. It has all the same files (except the Readme), and so I'd be interested if this somehow works for you. The file is designed to be installed into the RTW Root directory (i.e the one above "EB") and will automatically place all files in the correct folders.

WARNING - If you are a zip file noob and the above information is unclear and you need explicit handholding, don't even try this. Just get the Full V.81a Installation (@ 370MB) and install it on a clean RTW 1.5 build.

NOTE: Anybody who can't get the hotfix to work. If the above method DOES work, please let us know. Also, if it DOESN'T work, please report that (and whether the error message changed)

Thanks for posting that the installer works. I'd be completely insane if somebody hadn't shown up with a success story! :2thumbsup:

Well, technically I didn't install it directly through the installer. I used the installer to get the files into a seperate folder, then moved the files manually to the game directory. So I can't confirm the installer works directly. Although I can't imagine why it wouldn't.

Hey EB Team, I just wanted to thank you for your devotion to this project. I forwarded your work to a classics professor of mine here at Dartmouth and he was, to say the least, impressed with what you've done. In fact, Dartmouth is offering some sort of scholarship work for the upcoming class of juniors next year in video games based on the classical age and I believe some kids will be playing your mod for it. Thanks for your devotion to your fans!!

I installed the hotfix for the third time ( the patch ) and it doesn't work
the installer is removing too many files from 3,65 gb to 2,42 gb after installing the hotfix next time i try the full install ( can anyone tell me if this will work )

thanks for all the help though:sweatdrop:

I just downloaded the installer from the link in post 1 here, just like everyone else, installed it onto my 1.5 + 0.81 full install from a month ago, deleted map.rwm, started it up, and it works like a charm.

I do make my own shortcut each time though, and put it directly in the directory the rtw.exe file is in, so I don't mix it up with any of the other copies of EB on my harddrive.

Well I the zip didn't work, mise well download the full installer then, dunno what the problem is though. Off to play some Civ4 then... My Empire of Rilder under Grand Master Rilder The Great, with Dur Warriors and Dur Snipers under the capital of Rilderisawesome has some growing to do.

That's the thing. The file structure you copied over is exactly the one it would drop directly into the build. They CAN'T be different! Gah.

Now THAT is one of the reasons we do this! Really great to hear! (especially today)

I downloaded the hotfix over my previous v.8.1 and it seems to work just fine ... the install guide helped me through, you just have to find your own EB file if you changed it from the original rome total war as I did. Did I have to delete the map again it didn't say so and worked so should I now?

Thanks Foot!

Thanks to the entire EB team by the way!

No you shouldn't have to, it will allow you to play multiplayer with others with 0.81a

I had the issue at first, but found a way around, no biggie. Please don't loose heart....it's really great that you guys take the time to release these fixes to the user community.
Thanks Again! Never have I enjoyed a mod this much before :2thumbsup:

It seems like the issue has been resolved, but when it says cannot find the battlefield model for the camled(is that what it is?), the model for the camels is missing in the descr_model_battle file. So just put it in there, and it should work.


I may be showing up too late to help :yes: , and I may be wrong, but from my experiences, it is most likely missing in descr_model_battle. So check.

Edit: Hmmm....neeed to rethink this.

Thanks, but that is definitely not the issue. If we had something missing in DMB, then the hotfix would have broken the mod during internal testing. Plus there's a host of different "mssing files" being reported, and most people aren't having any problem at all. So it seems to be installation issues, and probably a bunch of different ones at that.

I can report a gimped install, I'm afraid and I installed EB 0.81a on top of 0.81, with an old internal build on top of that but otherwise, as you know, it was a virgin install.

So the install in gimped and there's no uninstall, so I'm wiping EB off and starting again with the full download. My shortcut also dissapeared to be replaced by a link to the FAQ.

Edit: I can't get the unistall option, looks like 0.81a removed my build.

The .81a patch borked my install as well. On start up I got the vanilla splash screen plus the fs_gladius error. Checked the RTW folder and it's size was decreased to 2.4gb as well. Wasn't using the wrong installer as I blew the previous ones away right after use. The .81a patch is erasing some parts of the EB install.

The full .81a install over a clean copy of 1.5 is working fine.

Well, I think we have identified the root cause of all the reported problems. HOW you are getting those problems is still unclear, however. Let's review the facts as we know them:

1) All the error messages are consistent with missing files.

2) In all reported problem cases, the full install works, but not the hotfix.

3) People who reported error messages and then used my zip file said it didn't solve the problem.

4) A number of folks have reported that there is no desktop icon or else the one they had disappeared.

What all these have in common is they are consistent with a complete uninstall of EB. So the question is, how is that happening? The obvious answer would be that having downloaded the file called EB081a-hotfix.exe, instead people are clicking on one of the earlier builds such as EB08-setup.exe, EB081-full.exe, or EB081-patch.exe. These files, confronted with an existing installation, are then uninstalling your whole EB build.

The other possibility is that the hotfix build is uninstalling instead of installing, but we can't even begin to make it do that without installing the hotfix first (and even then, it warns you quite explicitly).

All I can say is, please READ THE INSTALLER MESSAGES, and report anything that looks odd. Thanks.

Edit1: I tested the "wrong installer version" theory and suffice it to say you would have to be a moron of exceptional moronitude to "accidentally" delete EB using those files. So that rules out half of you. (j/k)

Edit2: We have pulled the hotfix installer until we can figure out why it is doing what it seems to be doing. The Full Version remains active, as that is confirmed to work. Also, anybody who hasn't deleted their EB build could use my zip file (posted above) to quickly upgrade a working v.81 install to v.81a.

Finally it's out. Now I can start a new campaign without problems.

The hotfix worked with me. 1.5 + 0.81 full install + 0.81a hotfix.

The only thing I did differently was once it was all installed, I just made my own shortcut.

Has anyone been getting this error when using the first download link? "550 Failed to change directory."
