ALEXANDER EB

[||Lz3||]

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>

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.

you dont have your original 2 EB shortcuts?

their target line should say

"C:\[wherever your rtw is]\EBTrivialScript\EBTrivialScript.exe"  -s ebconfig.xml -runeb -type "Single Player"

and change the "Single Player" to "multiplayer" in the other shortcut

I do have my original EB shortcuts, but I want to run EB with ALEX.exe. Those two original shortcuts run with RTW.exe.

then its a bit freaky-ti-bi-kity ... cause the changes in ebconfig file , changed the trivial script... meaning that you can play (and so you should) use the original EB shortcuts

if its not working then... my guess would be that the trivial script isn't working for some reason and/or the changes in ebconfig file werent made/saved correctly

[TWFanatic]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so the original "sp" and "mp" shortcuts that I used to start EB with before ALEX now run EB with ALEX? How can I know that EB is being run with ALEX.exe?

if you have a quick eye :P the moment you launch EB an icon should appear in the lower section of your screen, this icon should be purple... instead of RTW red

if you miss this you can always alt tab out of the game and/or open the task manager where you should be able to see if the rome total war program is using alex... or RTW icon
