Archive- Old Download & Install information (beta7)

[R'as al Ghul]

Hello,

seeing that we have info all over the place and people have difficulties finding the download links or installing the mod, I thought I collect all info in this thread. If you encounter any problems, post here.

What do you need? (pre-install requirements)

1. A working version of Medieval:Total War/ Viking Invasion (M:TW/VI). (Gold or Eras versions should also work)
2. The 2.01 patch for Viking Invasion. (check your games version by going to the Main Menu (in game), in the upper left corner the version number is displayed) Available here



Current stable Multiplayer version: Download here
If you just want to join us on Sundays for Multiplayer games, you just need this one download and don't need to look further down. Maps for Multiplayer are in teh old Multiplayer Mappack 1-3 for MTW/VI.

The Shogun-mod beta 5 files:

Due to desync problems in Multiplayer we decided to go back to the beta_5 version for the time being. If you want to join us you need these downloads:

Either (and this is recommended) the new beta_5 installer with 11b stats, by CBR: Download here

or

1. The mod itself in its beta_5 version. This was uploaded November 2004
and is the latest version. Download here
The file is in .zip format and is 70MB large.
It contains everything for a single player campaign. or CBR's Samurai Wars installer (older version)

2. The Samurai Wars Multiplayer Add-On. This contains the MP stats 11b plus a working Deadpage file, needed to show corpses on the field.
This set of stats was developed by the Multiplayer community and is said
to provide on of the best gameplays in whole Total War. Download it here

3. STW mappack

Install info: The beta_5 mod files come in zip archives, except CBR's installer. These are compressed files that need decompressing. This is either done with an archiver such as WinZip or WinRar or with the build in function of XP.
Either way you need to specify a target folder for the decompression. This should be the main folder (including the medieval_tw.exe file) of a working version of Medieval:TW/Viking Invasion. You have to accept all overwrites when asked.
Start by decompressing the file STW_Mod_BETA5_20nov.zip then proceed with samuraiwars_11b.zip and finally stwmaps.zip.This last file needs a different target folder. Unzip into Medieval_Total war\battle\maps.
Important note: Please use Winzip or WinRar(free) with these archives because the Windows Unzip function often produces faulty results, puts the files in an extra subfolder.

Shogun Sound mod

If you have an install of the original Shogun:Total War you can use TosaInu's music/sound-swapper to copy the music of Shogun into Medieval.
Download it here
It comes with its own Readme file.
Please note that in beta_7 we switched the religion from Catholic to Orthodox. The Sound swapper hasn't been updated since. For information on how to get the correct sounds playing please post here.
