    Default NEED HELP WITH A MOD

    HELLO! I AM BIG FAN OF THE M2TW series with mods, came to see if there is anyone that can help with a certain mod:

    http://www.bosniafacts.info/medieval...-of-bosnia-mod

    I did all guides for installation including from Gigantius (STEAM, but i got non steam), yet still the mod won't load either it crashes fatal error or it loads the main base game, any help would be appreciated to figure what's the issue!

    Cheers!

    Hello,

    It seems to me that the .cfg is not loading the proper mod folder and it is trying to use file.io

    I have not played this mod but lets me sift a bit the instructions a bit. Please hold! :)

    Default Re: NEED HELP WITH A MOD

    Hello,

    What version of the GAme do you have?

    At first glance this mod seems to be outdated, for an older version of the game. On their site they ask Patch 1.2, Released 4 May 2007

    The Kingdom_of_Bosnia.cfg has some outdated Tags too, it has [mod] instead of [features] and the Path to the Mod is all wrong too (anyways for me I am on the STEAM setup of the game).

    So I had to make some small tweaks and configured a Windows Shortcut with "--features.mod\Kingdom_of_Bosnia"

    I was able to start the game with this mod, but not does crash after the opening scenes come to animation.

    The high level log shows:

    18:35:49.911 [system.rpt] [always] CPU: SSE2
    18:35:49.911 [system.rpt] [always] ==== system log start, build date: Sep 5 2014 version development ===

    18:35:53.684 [data.xml.tag] [error] File:[mods/Kingdom_of_Bosnia/data/descr_movies_tracks.xml]Error: empty tag.(6:20)
    18:35:54.673 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.
    Digging the .xml files I can see that this mod was made for the older version of the game referring to "mymod" folder instead.

    <movie name=../../mymod/data/fmv"faction/game_intro.bik">
    <faction name=../../mymod/data/fmv"none">
    <track>0</track>
    <timing>fmv_timings/Game_Intro_Subtitle_Timing.txt</timing>
    <text>FactionIntroSubTitles.txt</text>
    <lookup>FactionIntroSubTitles_lookup.txt</lookup>
    </faction>
    </movie>
    The mod files do not contain any Animation folder or fmv, I added these and tried again to no avail changed the .xml tags and also just deleted these files the errors went away but the game still crashes.

    I changed the log level to get more info in atrace and I get 5KB of data here

    The file ends with

    19:16:51.608 [system.io] [info] exists: missing mods/Kingdom_of_Bosnia/data/sounds/Voice/Animal/Wardog/Wardog_Death_01.wav
    19:16:51.608 [system.io] [info] exists: missing mods/Kingdom_of_Bosnia/data/sounds/Voice/Animal/Wardog/Wardog_Death_02.wav
    19:16:51.608 [system.io] [info] exists: missing mods/Kingdom_of_Bosnia/data/sounds/Voice/Animal/Wardog/Wardog_Death_03.wav
    19:16:51.608 [system.io] [info] exists: missing mods/Kingdom_of_Bosnia/data/sounds/Voice/Animal/Wardog/Wardog_Death_04.wav
    19:16:51.706 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.
    So verdict is that I believe the Mod Creator needs to recreate this for Latest Version, you are not doing anything wrong. The mod is not working on this version and requires some re-work.

    Cheers!
