Two Questions

I have been using SPQR Total War for some time and I think that it ranks among the best mods. However, I have recently installed Barbarian Invasion because, although I like the original version of RTW (modded version anyway), I would like the option to play either SPQR TW or BI. Is it possible to have both SPQR and BI? If so, how do I do so?

Where do I find show_error so that I can figure out the problem?

Thanks in advance

To be honest i dont think its an easy task to do.

This is because when BI is installed, it adds and uses certain RTW files, so with a RTW mod installed and BI installed many files are overwriten. All i know is that there are a great deal of bugs around, and converting SPQR to RTW 1.5 would require a lot of effort and time, as long as the patience of a saint.

To activate show_err, right click the rtw icon, and on target, it should say "c:/program_files etc... Outside the brackets, type in -show_err and it will activate show error.

There are quite a few useful command line shortcuts like this one, i saw a thread somewheres but i cant find it.

Cheers

Use the JGSME Mod Enabler (link in sig) - when you want to play SPQR activate the mod through JGSME and launch from the rome.exe as normal - when you want to play BI deactivate SPQR through JGSME and launch from the bi.exe as normal. You need the vanilla version of BI for this to work (so basically, straight out of the box - or with the official 1.5/1.6 patch).
