HELP ME!

[Viking_Wårlord]

I've downloaded EB and put it in another folder than program files,i've got a clean version patched 1.5 of rome total war and removed all traces of Napoleonic total war 2mod,HOWEVER, when i click on single player EB it says "This application could not start because we were unable to find MSS32.DLL"
and it goes on..."reinstalling this application could solve the problem"!!!!!!!

I then made a "validateinstall" search and here's the results!

You seem to have a corrupt install. There are changes to files, or some are missing.
However, these may be conscious changes you have made, to remod EB. See below for details.

HERE COMES THE SECOND PART


Please answer quickly

Despite your demand for a quick answer:

You need to install EB into the same folder as RTW resides in, as the installer will warn you. That RTW also needs to be outside of Program Files. You can simply copy the RTW folder to somewhere else and then install EB there.

I'll wait

[Viking_Wårlord]

But please, if someone already had this problem,just say how to solve it(if you did solve of course...)

[Viking_Wårlord]

I'll do anything to play this mod(apart from erasing hard disc!)
Please me!

[Maion Maroneios]

Man, is this some kind of joke? You're posting some mile-long lines of missing files, then say you've added them and keep asking for help? Just calm down mate, erase the whole folder, uninstall EB and re-install. That should fix your problem.

[Viking_Wårlord]

ok thx gonna try now

[Viking_Wårlord]

ok i'm installing

[Viking_Wårlord]

same MSS32.DLL message thing!
Its getting on my nerves!

[Foot]

You really need to calm down. People are much more willing to help if you are civil.

I would suggest, if you haven't tried it, reinstalling in rome total war completely, patching it up to 1.5 and then starting a vanilla campaign to make sure that RTW itself works. If it does, install EB and the trivial script that comes with it and hopefully that will solve your problem.

[Viking_Wårlord]

rtw works i know that

[Viking_Wårlord]

look, i've reinstalled rome total war twice yesterday and it still didn't work!

I'm now doing the same thing with EB , i'm doing a full installation in a new folder in wich i've pasted the rome-total war folder(containging rome total war and it's shortcut,preferences and data) in it and in wich i'm now putting EB...

I'll tell ya if it works ...or not(i think it won't)

[Viking_Wårlord]

didn't work of course :( :( :(

i've put all(trivialscript,documentation) in the eb folder

[Viking_Wårlord]

Iv'e got a question 4 u,
>what the hell is MSS32.DLL?


If you know the answer to my problme give me detailed information about how to solve it...

Thanx 4 answering

[Foot]

okay, try this. make a shortcut of RomeTW.exe and put it on your desktop. right-click on it and go to properties. In the Target line add the following at the end (outside of the ").

-mod:eb

Start the game using the shortcut you've just made.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Well considering you appear have a completely different RTW install from the usual kit (virtually every file is missing ?!) -- are you really sure you've installed RTW to the proper location? And not to a folder containing just a shortcut?

it says 'the name "C:\ProgramFiles\TheCreativeAssembly\Rome- Total War\RomeTW.exe"mod:eb'
specified in the target line is not valid.Verify that the access path and that the file name are correct"

it didn't work

I appreciate your help guys but unfortunatly it doesn't work

I was hoping to play this mod tonight but i don't think that will happen

Please, me!

[Viking_Wårlord]

I've spent the whole week-end trying to play this mod,and i failed.......................

Thanks for your help guys but i think that i wont be playing this mod in my short life...

here ya are...maybe that's where i did something wrong don't u think guys?

This:
"C:\ProgramFiles\TheCreativeAssembly\Rome- Total War\RomeTW.exe"mod:eb

Should be:
"C:\ProgramFiles\TheCreativeAssembly\Rome- Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb

notice the space and the hypen (dash). You need to be more careful in following instructions and a bit more relaxed and forthcoming with exactly what is going on. I would also run the validate install again to see if that is still showing missing files, if it is it definately means something is wrong with how you installed. Basically, any trouble you are having is caused by something on your end and is, in most cases, fixable with a bit of perseverance.

Which isn't a big wonder as you've been blatantly ignoring part of the instructions. I mean how hard can it be:

1) Outside of the "
2) -mod:eb

No apostrophs/single-quotes, a dash before the command... ?

So this *should* work better (just copy it literally):

"C:\ProgramFiles\TheCreativeAssembly\Rome- Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb

Isn't it funny how that target line reads "Program Files", still? Didn't Bovi tell you some evil story about that?

That you're missing some DLL's. Could you check what version number it reads from the Options menu in RTW Vanilla?

[Viking_Wårlord]

didn't work man same message!

[Viking_Wårlord]

ver. 1.5

[Foot]

Try this:

"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb

Unless you intentially deleted all the spaces that should have a better chance at working.
