hey guys, im loving single player and i hate to be complaining so much aready but...
multiplayer seems impossible ATM, i have tried with 2 different people to play since it came out. have reinstalled 3x and each time RTW says incompatible game data, it recognizes both of us as having the exact same mod(same numbers and stuff) but still shows up incompatible . i dont know exactly what you guys might be able to do about this but if you got any ideas i'd love to have them
EDIT:
more info
tried it with 3 people now and smae result however we are getting different version numbers for the new guy segfaulter
mine and icemans are 757BD26E:0
his is 36AESC80:0
again none of them work even though iceman and i had the same number
Yes, this is the mpa.rwm problem. appearently it seems, that we have forgotten to add one for th multiplayer. This will be taken care of in the next relase in the meantime someone needs to upload a mp.rwm and provides the link in the mp thread, so all who want to play can dl it.
hm have you tested this solution? we are trying it and having no luck, the same problems. We have tried trading Map.rwm's, deleting and one of us makes a new one after starting a new campaign and trading, deleting the map.rwms from both our eb/data folders and trying, still no love ... heres a pic if it helps any
If you add " createlist" (without the quotes) to the first line of the validation tool batch file, it will create a checklist from your set of files. Then you can send that to the others and have them run it normally. It will tell you what files are different, and you can synchronize those.

well he aready left for the night dangit, can someone run that and post it for EB 1.0?
i can just compare it with mine and i'll know the map.rwm is different
You need to post the list you generated so your opponent can check his version against it. If you know the map.rwm file is different, that's your problem right there. Synchronize your map.rwm with your opponent.

no i mean can you post yours so i can look at it and compare it with mine, I will know that your map.rwm file is different than mine so i wont look at that, but i will look to see if there are other differences
Er... Mine is the one that comes with the validation tool. That's the way it works: I know it works on my installation, so it compares against that.

hmmm the validation tool doesnt seem to work iwth my comp i think its because i have EB 1.0 at C:\Program Files\ Rome - Total War and my system drive is F:\
it shows all the files are missing inlcuding RomeTW.exe
Then you're probably not running it from the RTW directory.

And when i extracted the EB1.0 install file instead of installing i ran the validation tool on the extracted files, and i'll list the changed ones since hte missing are from it not being in rome folder
That's really odd. But I think it explains your problems with playing multiplayer.

one thing to think about is we have tried this with other people playin EB MP and had same results so it may not just be me... this is very strange indeed
Which character set do you have? I notice that the files in question are binary (non-text), and I know some of our Chinese friends have had problems when using the installer on their character set, perhaps some others also cause problems. In their case, manually extracting with 7-zip seems to work, so you could try that.
The files under ./data that are "changed" are not from the EB installer. You should be able to restore those by installing a clean 1.5 RTW.

No madmatg no, MP does not "seem" to be broken MP "IS" broken.
I remember the first verions of .8 had a problem with the map.rwm, but that was solved in the last update of .81.
However, in 1.0 not only is the map.rwm messed up so is the unit roster of the factions. Yes the name was chaged on the mp file but there are A LOT of units missing, especially with the Romani. Madmatg tried to put Classical hoplites in the KH roster but couldn't. I later checked the roster of some factions after mad added some units but heck there were still a lot of guys missing.
We will probably try again sometime soon and do some new teawking, and let you of the results. But if you fellas are going to fix this thing, PLZ do not forget about the units.
i think its all figured out now, im playing fine with boru87 over hamachi now, so that new map.rwm file seemed to have worked; on the topic of the validation tool, maybe something on my computer makes it act funny, everytime i run it(3 times in a row to be sure) it comes up with something different being changed or added, it seems to find different files everytime that are not correct, but i can still play on MP so my comp must be doin soemthing funy with your validation tool
That is really odd. It reads all the files and creates a checksum, matching it to that of mine. It shouldn't come up with different results on the same file.
