Force Diplomacy Minimod

1. Backup means you need to save the files which would be ovewritten by the installation of this minimod somewhere else ( create you own folder somewhere in your private or alike )
2. You do not need to open it, but to download it ( save ), and then open it with a program like winrar ( 7zip and winzip might do the job too, not sure )
3. As far as i understand you need to extract the files into your main installation directory of Rome Total War; the files you extract contain the folder "EB" with only needed changes for the mod. At the same time, there is a folder "EB" in your main directory of RTW ( the actual sub mod, the Europa Barbarorum ), and then all the minimod files of FD mod will replace/add the containt of the EB folder in the apropriate parts ( namely: EXPORT_DESCRIBE_ADVICE in the main EB folder, EXPORT_ADVISE in the EB subfolder "text", and finaly, the folder "eb_scripts" subfolder in your EB installation ). That´s why you can also simply extract the downleaded files into any other private subfolder of your choice, and then copy&paste the extracted "EB" folder into the same one in your main RTW installation directory.

I hope its not too complicated the way i´ve explained it; correct me anyone if i´m wrong...

Could i get FD with EB 1.1 still?
I don't want to patch up to 1.2 just yet...

Jarardo's last activity was last summer, but this post should provide you with enough information to include it into EB 1.1 on your own. Be sure to create a backup of any file you modify and backup your campaign too.

Thanks Xsamatan. That worked.

(Did a search but couldn't find anything)

Tried to use this mod but when I do, I get a CTD. Happens right after I click the question mark in the diplomacy scroll. I don't even get to see the advisor pop up again.

Has anyone else experienced this?


As usual, once I posted the question I found the answer myself... I checked the files again, seems one wasn't properly overwritten.
Installed the mod again, now it works.
