ALEXANDER EB

[TWFanatic]

put everything as you had it and just install this over , to avoid confusion...

the files that are overwriten are :
-EDCT
-descr_strat
-export_vnvs
-export_descr_vnvs_enums

oh and...

MINOR UPDATE the Alexander link in my signature now has new files... only those necesary to change the exe -instead of the many unnecessary files that were in the previous download link-

Thanks, I'll try to redo everything from scratch.

Btw, will my old savegames be compatible with ALEX.exe?

nope...

and take this as a survey... are you using LB's ClientRuler fix?

I did this and while it starts fine, whenever I try to load a campaign I get a CTD with no show_err message and also some historical battles don't work anymore. Custom battles seem to work fine though.

Strange. This is how I made it to work. You did copy this new Alex file right? (it was bad word blacklist, cant remember file name )

the most common forgotten files is chat_filter.san or something... but that makes the game ctd at the game launch, you can't even get to the main menu

Thanks guys, everything is working well now. And best of all, my old savegames ARE compatible!

Can't wait to try out this new AI.

EDIT: One more question: Is it possible to use ALEX with trivialscript? If so, how can I do that? I would love to have two seperate shortcuts to make it simple such as with vanilla EB.

you aren't using the link in my signature are you? ^^

if you used my files then it's already working with TrivialScript

if you're not using it it's simple though

in your RTW folder open the ebconfig.xml file (right clic >open with> notepad -or something-)
search for .exe
make it look like this

<Text>RomeTW-ALX.exe -mod:eb -noalexander -show_err</Text>

[TWFanatic]

It does look like that, without the show_err that is. Here is my text:

<Text>RomeTW-ALX.exe -mod:eb -noalexander</Text>

My problem is that I only have one ALEX.exe shortcut for EB, and it runs whatever EDU file I happen to have in the Data folder. It also opens with the preconfigured setting of whatever I happened to run last time (sp or mp). If I want to play the campaign, I have to open EB sp using the trivialscript sp shortcut that came with EB, exit it out, then start up ALEX.exe. I would prefer to skip this lengthy step if it is possible.
