Also: To all players. Important!
You all must unlock the non playable factions so that when the quicksave gets to you, the RTW doesnt crash, you must download 2 files: descr_srat.txt and campaign_descripitions.txt

Download zip here: http://rtw.heavengames.com/downloads...hp?fileid=3998

Instructions to install (IGNORE THE ONES IN THE THREAD; THEY ARE CONFUSING).

1) There are 6 files inside the zip that you downloaded:

campaign_descriptions.txt
campaign_descriptions_(Patch1.5)ORIGINAL.txt
campaign_descriptions_(Patch1.5)ALL-FACTIONS-PLAYABLE.txt

descr_strat.txt
descr_strat_(Patch1.5)ORIGINAL.txt
descr_strat_(Patch1.5)ALL-FACTIONS-PLAYABLE.txt

2)The files that you must copy are:

campaign_descriptions_(Patch1.5)ALL-FACTIONS-PLAYABLE.txt
descr_strat_(Patch1.5)ALL-FACTIONS-PLAYABLE.txt

Ignore others!

3) Copy this file into another directory like C:/rtwfiles
-after that change the name of campaign_descriptions_(Patch1.5)ALL-FACTIONS-PLAYABLE.txt to campaign_descriptions.txt;
-do the same to descr_strat_(Patch1.5)ALL-FACTIONS-PLAYABLE.txt to descr_strat.txt.

4) Copy the now called ....bla..bla..bla....to:
-campaign_descriptions.txt ---> \RTW\data\text directories and overwrite
-descr_strat.txt -->RTW\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
and overwrite

5) Before running the quicksave for your turn try playing the campaign for your faction on imperial campaign first just to make sure that RTW doesnt crashes.

Ok, i think thats all.

Warning: Unlocking factions on RTW vanilla 1.5 only works with this files, all other previous manners, mods or files wont work!
Hope this helps.
Enjoy.

Turn 1

We have been told we are allies with Carthage and Greece, so we did nothing :(

email to generalsun: macedon

[General_Sun]

To next player (Pontus I think)

http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Quicksave.sav

The people of Macedonia has dug themselves in for preparation of an expected great war. The war to save the motherland...

Why don't you load up the quicksave and check (it's only the first turn)

EDIT: I tried it myself, and, it's me. I don't understand it, but Egypt's turn got skipped while the campaign was loaded. Either the script messed up or you did something wrong. Try playing your turn again.

[RickFGS]

I tried the script 2 times before sending and after macedon its egypt turn...it was working fine....the turn order is:
-------------
romans_julii - RickFGS
romans_brutii - Luigiman
romans_scipii - Thequicksilver
macedon - General_sun
egypt - shadowarmy75
seleucid - Silver Rusher
carthage - UltraWar
parthia - Wishazu
pontus - AwesomeArcher
gauls - Shadows
germans - Kburkert
britons - Myrddraal
armenia - AI
dacia - AI
greek_cities - Monarch
numidia - AI
sycthia - AI
spain - Glaucus
thrace - Ignoramus
------------

The quicksave you posted sun is for macedon turn again...erhhh....

Edit: I´ve played the save you posted sun and passed it to egypt and forward..its working fine...replay turn pls

[Silver Rusher]

It must be a problem with the save then. Don't worry, this happens all the time when I am playing with my friends. Just replay the turn again.

[RickFGS]

Script and export_advice.txt im using: http://www.filefactory.com/?0ae337

[General_Sun]

http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Quicksave.zip

Well that filefactory thing worked. Appearantly my hotseat.txt wasn't correct. If Iberia is using the same file that he sent me he might run into the same problem I think.

Egypt's go now.

[Glaucus]

ok thanks, I'll update

[RickFGS]

Ok i should had sent the file earlier i forgot, in your mails, refer to the need to download the new script and export_advice.txt files when you GPS the turn players..to avoid confusions Thks

[shadowarmy75]

Building and moving stuff around. Nothing to do with other factions.

Here is the save.

Silver Rusher (Seleucids) Summer, 270BC

What did I do this turn?

Err... nothing that concerns you! Now go away!

UltraWar, this is your moment of truth! For all future turns I think it would be in the greatest interests of non-cheating to ensure that the file is sent by email, and not uploaded in this thread.

Quicksave sent to UltraWar

I may be stupid I know but im actually very confused now after reading your instructions. I received a script off of ultra last week that didnt work, it stopped rtw from loading. I take it this is a new 1?

[RickFGS]

Yep, i generated a new script, download the 2 new files from http://www.filefactory.com/?0ae337, the hostseatscript.txt and export_descr_advice.txt. Place it under the proper folders in RTW.

Those instructions above are for unlocking the factions, you are playing Parthia and for RTW 1.5 the only files that can unlock the factions without bugs and crashes to the game are those posted in my instructions, so what you have to do now is:

1) overwrite the hosteasscript and export_descr_advice.txt files with my new ones

2)unlock all factions with the instructions i posted above following every step

3)Before running the quicksave from ultra, try starting an imperial campaign with Parthia to see if it launches and there are no visible bugs

4)then you can play your turn

[UltraWar]

Gah! It seems i can't download the quicksave.sav

[RickFGS]

well im getting a bit tired, work it out people, you have all you need in this thread.

[Silver Rusher]

Gah! It seems i can't download the quicksave.sav

What seems to be the problem?

[Glaucus]

Ultra, just extract the save to your saves folder in c/program_files/activision/rome_total_war/saves

then run RTW and open the save. Easy as pie.

[shadowarmy75]

I think he means that it won't download from the e-mail he got.

[UltraWar]

What seems to be the problem?

Rapidshare.de is not letting me download the file - Download Invalid

[RickFGS]

someone please make a list of all players and their emails and send that list to all, so we can email and attach the file directly. Its easier that way.

For this file, just upload it to the RTW.org shadowarmy and put the link here

[RickFGS]

Lets get this game going!! GO GO GO!

[Myrddraal]

Who is the current player we are waiting for?
