ALEXANDER EB

[/Bean\]

I've got the same problem...i'm trying to run EB through ALX.exe i have done all the fixes in the first post, have changed the ebconfig...wot else is there? It still says "Please select an item from the list".

Its infuriating lol...anyone know whats up? The posts about this seem to be ignored, so there's no answer to follow that i can find...and i did search through all 30 pages of this thread. The only answer i saw was to OverweightNinja's problem, and that was to do with adding -noalexander...and i've done that.

At the moment, EB loads and opens, but the main campaign only comes up with the message of please select one from the list. This is what my target looks like:-

"C:\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:eb -noalexander''

Are there any mistakes? I manually changed the things on the first post using c&p, so its possible they could be slightly wrong, would any of those affect the campaign?

This is a fresh install of Rome (1.5) and Alexander, and EB with all the permanent and optional fixes, as this is a different comp from my usual EB station, so theres no other mods to clash.

I hope this range of information prompts a few more responses and hopefully solutions than just saying it doesnt work. Help is greatly appreciated, and if you know why it doesnt work due to that message please post solutions, i've spent my entire evening trying to make this work.

Thanks

something must have gone wrong when editing the files...

I've a heavily moddified EB and it works without problems.

did you downloaded maksimus' original files? , I suggest doing so, backup the next files of your EB instalation: EDCT, export_descr_VnVs_enums.txt, export_VnVns (in text folder) and descr_strat

then unpack maksimus files , and after that... copy&paste your backup files back to where they were , overwriting maksimus' and do all the changes in those files, remember you must use windows notepad to edit export_vnvs.txt

from what I've heard , if you have a problem when starting a campaign is caused by errors in EDCT, alternately , if you don't have any other minimods installed , you could use the link above


and as a side note... why you're not using trivial script? , its better!

the instructions to moddify it are in page 38 of this thread , but here they go nonetheless

1-open your ebconfig.xml file (with any text editor , but I suggest notepad++ here) located in your RTW folder
2- go to line 215 or alternately search for .exe and change that line so it looks like this:
<Text>RomeTW-ALX.exe -mod:eb -noalexander -show_err</Text>

now you can use your regular EB shortcut , NOT the one with the changed target line
