EB 1.2 MINI MOD PACK!

[||Lz3||]

I'm too lazy to reupload it... hehe if someone wants to upload the modded file and upload it (only the one needed to get FD working) I'll add it to the main post

The beta is mostly for the SGC.... I'm not sure about that

[Vermin]

Curious,

Installed the minimod but my "descr_win_conditions.txt" is empty. Checked the .rar file and the "descr_win_conditions.txt" in the mod is also empty. Does this mean Win Conditions mod is not implemented? (I used the RTW.exe version). I double checked and re-downloaded the RTW_pack3.rar with the same result. Also the game now crashes and shows the Alex version of the splash screen so I think there is still a problem there.

Thanks

Vermin

1. What is the "SGC"? ["Saved Games Compatibility"?]
2. Does the 1.2 pack include the TWFanatics' "phalanx mod"?
3. What about Force Diplomacy? The 'bug' prevents it from using, and if the "mod pack" is to be complete, fixing the bug is necessary for it... I only hope You'll get more time to reupload the pack with the FD fixed (and maybe phalanx mod too).
Anyway, thanks for your work - due to my current lack of time I'll anyway have to wait until the nextr weekend to download and install the 1.2 pack... yet I think I'll have to make a fresh install of my EB - i.e. fresh install of everything, as if I'm messing aorund with the files, I need to have a clean "operating field"...

EDIT:
1. I found what SG means
and
5. What about making Aquilifer available and uploading the ALX.exe version?
This would make some work easier, without messing around to get it worked with ALX.exe...

In the previous release (1.1 pack) there was also teh ALX.exe version which worked perfectly and needed no further "smoothering/polishing", with aquilifer working OK and so on.

Thus maybe I'll wait until the mod pack is updated and re-uploaded?

[||Lz3||]

that's why it's a beta hehe, I didn't had time to properly check everything, fortunately the mistakes are only minor ones and easily solved

and, yeh it seems I'll have to reupload it... but I'm afraid that will have to wait till next weekend (could be on thursday)

No aquilifer? eh... I did put the aquilifer in the alex version... and it's already uploaded



well... eh... I should go back to work...

[NONOPUST]

Um has anyone else noticed that the v5.1 City Mods overwrite the soccii mod im this pack? and vice versa?

They both come with essentially the same folders and files, so unless theyre made to coexist or theres somthing idk about then they can't coexist

[||Lz3||]

yes... they are...uncompatible it needs to be adjusted...

it's not... that hard to do but you do have to get some time to do it then test it...

and unfortunately... I don't have that time right now


In fact I'll be out of city the whole weekend , so... I'm afraid that the addition of CityMod and the fixes to FD will have to wait till next weekend (if not the the one after that)

so if anyone wants to help me with the conversion....

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

it's quite easy, just download winmerge (google) and compare all the files in the CityMod with the original EB 1.2 files... Next you place the diferences in the files of the pack

[delablake]

First of all: Thanks a lot!
Sly enemies, specially fighting Barbarians in the woods (I'm a proud Roman) is exciting! They really managed to stage a flanking maneuver and attacked me in the spot that was the furthest from my reinforcements. No more idiotic frontal Banzai charges.
Conquering the European East is a real challenge: Getai and their rebel counterparts are real tough bones to snap, and their elite units fight to the death without wavering...
The new recruited general situation allows for even more role-playing...
overall, the mod pack gives the game a totally fresh feeling, I find playing EB 1.2 a very satifying experience: well-balanced, great graphics and a myriad of decisions to be taken

[Darth Stalin]

Well, I can live without CityMod... yet the FD could (and should!) be added...
I still don't know what about TWFanatic's Phalanx mod and:
is Konny's curcsus honorum mod included? (recruitment mod is not reqiured IMHO...)

[Juggernaut]

Is there anyway to install the mod without the Roman skins replacement?
Also, is it possible to revert back to the original skin without re installing the whole EB?

[theoldbelgian]

got another question
as said by medical toaster the trait changes and cursus honorum isn't compatible with 1.2 but it stands right here does this mean that it is compatible?

[Havok.]

[B][SIZE="5"][*]If you would like to have regular recruitment as the romans , download this (for both versions)

Instructions
1-Unpack in your RTW folder (the one that has EB folder)

Are you sure we need to unpack into RTW folder? couse i did and the recruitment remains the same

grr you're right unpack it in you EB data folder

I don't know if there's a new version of the trait changes... I made the changes myself, so as of now I think here's the only way you can get that minimod hehe (unless he already updated his files)

sort of... you could... uninstall them.. but that would require that I made some additional work... so you might have to wait for it


PS: Sorry that I haven't answered but I'll be quite busy this whoole week <.<

[ziegenpeter]

When you talk about the ALX.exe, do you mean by this "only" the engine or Maksimus' large ALX-MOD?

only engine

[ziegenpeter]

Ok thats cool for me because otherwise it would screw up my savegame...

[||Lz3||]

well my dear fellow brothers

I have, as usual, good news and bad news.

The good news

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I'm on vacations next wednesday, that means I'll have the time to make the small modifications that are still needed

The bad news

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I think I got some sort of yellow fever... or the flu, I'm not sure yet, I have to wait for the blood analisis.
So... I feel like crap right now and I don't think I'll be able to do as much, if anything, of what I had planed to do...

[Akmatov]

you need to have CA Alexander expansion installed

I purchased the Alexander expansion two years ago when it came out and played it a little. Now when I try to reinstall it, it askes for a password code and will not start. Any ideas on how to get it to work?

And since I'm asking, do I understand it correctly that the point of the Alex.exe is that it is the last and best version of the RTW engine out of CA?

Thanks

Hi all, I have downloaded this mod and it seems to have worked to a point because I tried using the "multiplayer part" of to Trivival script, and I had a general, not captain. Also when I start the game, while its loading there is a little sign with "Alexander" below where is says "Europa Barbarorum"... but when I tested it I could not use night battles.

I run on Rtw.exe, made sure I have all the updates, I have EB under C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB Is that where it belongs? I also have another folder entitled C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB\EB lol... I've never really had a look at this stuff.. but I'm quite confused as to if I can USE the alxander part of this mod because im on rtw.exe, if I extracted this mod in the wrong area (I did it under Activision as told to do), or if I have EB in the wrong area to begin with.. (I remember when I first downloaded EB it said I shouldn't download it under RTW but I had no choice as it wouldn't let me put it anywhere else...


So, if you all understand my situation... any ideas? it seems like this mod is working, except the alexander part.. which is the main reason I wanted it =]

yikes...
1) the general in MP is intended... It's my addition to the pack I called it MP swapper, you can search its thread

2) about the alexander thing... yikes... It seems I made that mistake again <.<, srry you can't have the alexander features with RTW.exe, that..."Alexander" thing in the loding screen is a mistake I made, since I inlcuded it in both versions... Again

[NONOPUST]

Hope ya feel better Lz3

[Laza]

Get well soon, Lz3!

[Darth Stalin]

1. Well, well, well... seems that someone is trying to avoid modding-work! No "flu" or "yellow fever" can prevent a true modder from modding!
2. Just joking - get better soon and recover completely; any disease incompletely cured is more dangerous taht anyone may think...

[juba1]

it s time to have a serious update for EBv1.2, with all the mods and easy installation

[TWFanatic]

Hey Lz3!

I've at last updated my phalanx mod for 1.2 in case you were still interested in adding it to the mix.

Cheers

you really want to see me work aint you? <.<

I bet you just update it yours to make me have to work on this even more...

Two quick questions

is the Citymod and Fanatic’s First Cohort/Phalanx/Elephant/Chariot save game compatible

couse i started a romani campaign with this pack and i'm already bulldozing everyone =\
would be a shame, and a pain n' arse to start all over again to get this two great mini mods

[TWFanatic]

Mine is compatible.

I think CityMod isn't. It won't corrupt your current savegame and make you CTD or anything like that but it doesn't take effect unless you start a new campaign.

p.s. It's just a phalanx mod now.

p.p.s. I take no responsibility for legal, medical, or emotional damages if your computer spontaneously combusts after running CityMod with your Romani campaign.

[Darth Stalin]

To all expecting guys... Give me till friday, d'accord?

OK. That's no problem, I'll only have to prepare some of my own add-ons to Your mod-pack, yet as most of these changes I prepared for version 1.1, I think I'll have no problems with adding them...
just have to make a clean install of EB 1.1. and 1.2 to prepare for this newest ModPack 1.2 release...

BTW: please bear in mind that it would be veeery nice to prepare both version WITH CityMod and WITHOUT that - I really like other mods, yet the CityMod is not something I like too much... (previous version was for me very good!)

[juba1]

yep I agree with darth it will be very very nice to have a version without citymod

[||Lz3||]

Ok as promised... Here goes the pack 3.1

New things to notice

• City mod (both version a and b)
• Phalanx mod
• Fixed Polybian recruitment for Allied recruitment mod (I had forgoten to disable the allies and to restrict the extraordinarii)
• Fixed FD
• Fixed Victory conditions
• Fixed Alexander splash loading screen in RTW version
• Fixed Bruttian voices
• Improved UI (that means I finally made intallers )

NOTES:

• As you'll notice too, It was easier for me to create those mods as add-ons instead of merging them into the main pack
• As you might notice, I also fixed several things, so you might as well want to re-download the pack to get all that stuff fixed

Have fun, and yes... it is save game compatible, if anything city mod won't take effect on cities that are alredy larger than what city mod allows.
