If you need the original Crusades content, which it sounds like you do, I think you will need to copy the content of the entire crusades folder to a new folder, that can be placed in the main medieval2 directory and be called "my_crusades" or whatever, then make a config file with the lines
[features]
mod = my_crusades

in it and run that config file from a new .bat file

apologies if that either sounded like explaining the obvious or like greek!


The problem and reason why you'd need to copy all the crusades information is that, that is already a mod-folder for M2TW and mod-folders can't generally look each other up, unless there is a full path to an item defined in a text file.

How do I make this .bat file?
And the export_descr_unit.cfg doesnt work for me(if I test it on the original it doesnt make a difference in game)

export_descr_unit.cfg? it is .txt btw..

I'm not familiar with m2, but .cfg in the main folder should have

medieval2.exe @your_folder.cfg

make a new txt file, type it there, rename then to your_folder.bat

or like greek!

hmmm..
