The M2TW mod folder installer is a software that allows you to easily set up a mod folder with a custom name and ready-to-go in a few clicks. It's perfect for newbies that would just like to get their hands dirty as soon as possible, but it also saves a lot of time if you want to test something specific (in which case you simply install the barebones version).
For instructions on how to install it and run your game afterwards, please refer to the readme file.
Update May, 12th 2007
I forgot to remove descr_geography_new in 1.2 which caused a crash when starting battles, a thing 1.2.1 fixes. I also changed the script very slightly to include the last launcher setting (most launcher settings are still not used).
I updated this to comply with M2TW version 1.2
Here's the changelog:
- Added launcher regkey capabilities
- Removed copying videos, links are changed now instead
- The map can be regenerated now
- In 1.2 loading screens work, so I removed them
Well, I wrote this installer to make setting up a new mod folder as easy as possible.
It allows you to extract the game's data and (English) text files (included), copies the other required files from your installation, and allows to copy the sounds, videos and loading screens (using CA's unpacker) to a new directory called mymod.
It also generates a mymod.cfg file out of your current medieval2.preference.cfg and creates a mymod.bat to run the mod folder.
This should also set you up nicely if you're just starting modding.
Simply run the installer, and select your MTW2 directory as the installation directory.
Then select the components you want to install (you have to install the core files in order for the mod folder to work).
After the installation, I recommend to rename the mod folder, mymod.cfg and mymod.bat to a custom name (don't forget to change the "mod" entry in the renamed config file).
For modding, I also usually recommend adding the following lines under [video] in the config:
Code:
windowed = 1
movies = 0
This will run the game in a window and disable the splash movies on startup and campaign start.
