Problems With The Movie Cam and Map Editor

[Eternal Wanderer]

Hi everyone,

I just download Europa Barbarorum and I am really enjoying it.

However, I am not sure if I installed it correctly or I am missing something, because I can't use the Movie Cam and Map Editor in Europa Barbarorum. I do have the downloads and patches for Rome Total War for the Movie Cam and the Map Editor. I can use the Movie Cam and Map Editor in Rome Total War by Typing in "-movie_cam" or "-map_editor" and they work just fine.

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -movie_cam

Below is what the properties window of my EB shortcut on desktop shows me after I time in "-movie_cam". However, nothing changes. I do not get the movie camera and I can't get the map editor.

"C:\Program Files\EBTrivialScript\EBTrivialScript.exe" -s ebconfig.xml -runeb -type "Single Player" -movie_cam

I really appericate any help. If you need anymore details about the problem, feel free to ask. Thank you.

The trivial script does not append any extra parameters you add to it when running EB. You need to change the configuration in ebconfig.xml, in this location:

    <Element>
        <ID>RtwStart</ID>
        <Type>String</Type>
        <Values>
            <Text>RomeTW.exe -mod:eb</Text>
        </Values>
    </Element>

That said, I thought movie cam didn't work in RTW 1.5?

Well, yes and no. The movie cam still works, but it does not work when you enable the Battle Editor. I have 1.5, and I can still use the movie cam. To use the movie cam, right click on your RTW shortcut and select properties. In the "target" window, make sure that this is typed in it.

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -movie_cam

This will allow you yo use the movice cam, but you can not use the battle editor. To use the battle editor, make sure what is below is typed in the target window.

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -enable_editor

This will allow you so use the battle editor, but you will not be able to use the movie cam. I hope that helped.

Anyway, forgive me, but I am still kind of confused on how to work this (EB is my first mod believe it or not). What exactly do I type in enable the movie cam or the battle editor? Would I type something like this?

<Text>RomeTW.exe -movie_cam</Text>

<Text>RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -movie_cam</Text>

The mod:eb is essential, it tells the game to run EB instead of vanilla RTW.

It works! I can access both the Map Editor and the Movie Cam, I just have to edit the configuration depending what I want.

Thanks for your help!
