Hi, there is a way to change the battle map brightness AFTER installing EB for BI, or i have to a) manually change files or b) run the installer again (i suppose the trivial script would not work)?
Thank you
Hi. Sorry if this has been answered already. Does this mod work on Mac?
I cannot get this to work, was wondering if someone could help.
I installed RTW, BI, BI- patch 1.6, EB 1.1, EB 1.2, and then this mod. Outside of Program Files in the C drive. I also turned off my anti-virus, windows firewall, and spy-bot resident (only programs I know of that would mess with a program running).
This is my fourth attempt, still can't get it going. Here is the output file:

Is there anyway to just copy the failed objects manually? And what the dll file was trying to write to the one file it failed on. Thanks for any help.
Hi, when i run the installer it just stops/ freezes when copying\eb_before_bi_export_descr_buildings.txt,
Can anyone help with this?
edit;Actually I've just realised I have a similar problem to the post above

I'm still not sure either, tried again with the same process as above and got about the same result. It doesn't fail on the same items, but it will on a few different things.
Hi Ferromancer, and many thanks for your installer. I had a message saying I needed to download .net , but I said no to it and the message disappeared, then I pressed the install button. There were a number of "copy failed" error messages during installation but at the end it said installation was completed. Now I'm playing with the BI shortcut; the game has naval invasions and no giant trees (so far), although unit banners are still showing up despite checking for them to be removed before setup. Unfortunately, battle crashes are quite frequent--practically every turn (I'm playing a Lusotanni campaign started with RTW exe.). Do you think the .net issue is responsible?
Update: Never mind the unit banners. Battle crashes have stopped and my interrupted Lusotanni campaign has passed the critical year 175 BCE. Don't wanna jinx it but there seems cause for rejoicing. Bless you Ferromancer!

Thanks for the installer, sorry I did not say that before. I got it working after first copying some of the folders manually as explained in this thread: forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?75667-EB-with-BI&p=1433613#post1433613 , then running the installer. Some of the folders related to unit banners and night battles seemed to have failed (there were more copy failed's with those selected), but I'm not sure where those folders are going and I don't mind right now. So thanks again for the installer.
So, um... I have an RTW Gold installation with Steam [Windows 7], which puts everything in C:\Program Files\Steam\ directories. Does this mean, I am out of luck for installing this mod?
Hi, Slaists,
This thread might help you https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...stall+eb+steam.

Hi Vollorix
Thanks for the response. However, my problem does not lie with installing EB for Steam [even though Steam RTW is inside Program Files directory which is not recommended by EB]. In summary, EB 1.2 installs just fine [or, I hope so; since checking the install does find several file irregularities; I assume they're due to me running RTW gold].
My real problem lies with installing the sub-mod of this thread: the one allowing to use BI.exe. Before running, the sub-mod installer is checking whether RTW is installed inside "program files" or not. If the installer finds RTW inside "program files", it stops the install... (does not allow me to select the proper RTW directory under steam; the proceed button stays grayed out).

So I've just installed this, I'm using Steam. Everything seems to work until I choose a faction and start a game, then this error pops up and the game crashes. Any help?
::EDIT:: Eh, nevermind, I figured I needed a reinstall anyway, that cleared it up.

I don't have Steam in Program Files. Seems the installer doesn't like it when Steam is in the Program Files directory. I'm curious as to the reasoning for that. Maybe a permissions issue?
I would suggest maybe moving the whole RTW folder to a directory outside of program files, then point the installer to that location, and move the folder back once it's installed.
Last edited by Blooo; 11-27-2012 at 06:05.
Hmm, if the installer does any registry entries [it might not...] based on the temporary location of the RTW folder (outside the Steam directory), this might introduce some extra CTD's after the RTW folder is moved back to its proper place... Anyone know of a way to get the installer working with the default RTW location inside the Steam directories?
Hi ferromancer.
a -foolish- question:
i am using your mod, together with EB 1.2 MINI MOD PACK.
I noticed the Jirisys mega-mod-pack, and would like to try it.
but it is probably concerning only the RTW version, without BI.
so i guess that, installing jirisys mega-pack-mod, it will erase your mod, or at least, will conflict with.
I have to assume that it does not work with 'eb for BI', does it?
if i paste Jirisys's mod, your will be overwritten (and in fact lost), correct?
is there anyway to make both the mods cooperate?
thx

I had the same problem after a recent reinstallation of my WinXP OS (I don't have RSII installed btw). I tried what XSamatan said - didn't work. I searched the mircrosoft.com support and googled/binged/yahooed the entire web... deinstalled Windows Media Player 11 (using the default WMP 9), reinstalled the WMP 11, downloaded and installed the newest and final DircetX 9.29-Jun2010, played around with all kind of Windows and WMP settings - but nothing worked (for me). Then I found this lifesaver here at TWC.
Well to get to the point, the following worked for me:
Go to the folder EB\Data\fmv\lose and deactivate all video files (.wmv) there, by moving them into a newly created folder named '[DISABLED]' (or the like) in the same folder
I.E. cut and paste all video files in EB\Data\fmw\lose into EB\Data\fmv\lose\[DISABLED].
So now the EB\Data\fmv\lose folder should only contain the tga-files and the '[DISABLED]' folder (which contains the video files).
That worked for me at least. If you still get the ActiveMovie window my guess is to additionally try this:
In EB\Data\fmv\lose additionally cut and paste all tga-files into the [DISABLED] folder, so that the EB\Data\fmv\lose folder only contains the '[DISABLED]' folder
And/or do the above to the EB\Data\fmv\intros folder perhaps
Regards!

Apologies if anyone's already asked this...I recently returned to the EB fold, but have only just relocated my BI disk, so I was wondering: would I be able to continue my current savegames through the BI .exe after I've installed BI, even though these savegames were started through vanilla (i.e. 'pre-BI') .exe?

I have the game installed separate but the downloader gives me an error about it being in program files which it isnt and then doesn't let me pick a folder. Any fixes?
Hello everybody. I am unable to continue supporting my own website to host this installer, and as you've probably gathered, I do not have time to actively update this installer. I have therefore decided to release my installer into the public domain, and I have moved the hosting to Sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ebforbi/).
Now that I'm logged back on, let me try and address some of the questions posted above:
1) If you decline to install the .net framework, this installer will not work, and EB will not work.
2) Installing to program files for a game as old as RTW is not a good idea, as old games tend to want elevated permissions. As of windows Vista, any files written to program files without proper permissions get redirected to another directory, causing the game to no longer find them. That is why the installer will refuse to install to program files. However, you can install steam to an alternate directory to avoid this issue. On my windows 7 box I use C:\Games\Steam.
3) If you would like to use EB with BI with another mod, run my installer LAST, as it will try to weave in settings with any other modifications that may exist. Running it first will cause unpredictable weirdness to happen.

Of course this only comes into effect if you have UAC on I think, as I have no issues with games installed in program files that save in the install directory with windows 7. Including Total War.
Help!
I'm getting this error during install. http://puu.sh/iNnwP.png
Anyone still alive out there?
I've RTW and BI installed, both patched to 1.5 and 1.6. EB is 1.2. What if I install this?
Here is a new download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/pi...r_BI_Setup.exe
Is there any patch that makes EB 1.3 availible for Barbarian Invasion, and not only -Alex?
