RTR

[Permenion]

I've installed Rome total Realism , following the steps of the tutorial from the official site, installed patches and updates...
I tried to launch the game...
THen I can see a very nice loadingscreen for about 3 secs and then the program quits...
Anyone an idea why? maybe i overlooked something? Or do i have to change something in the data? Any suggestions?
If there's no answer on these questions, is it possible to remove RTR without having to uninstall rtw first?

Thx

bumping threads doesn't get you answers any quicker it just makes people annoyed with you

this also isn't really the right place to ask that sort of question - forum is for people trying to mod the game themselves not for installation problems with existing mods.


There are a few different versions of RTR around, Platinum edition and Iberian conflict are modfoldered so if its one of those you can just delete the mod-folder and keep playing your normal RTW without re-installing. Have you checked if your normal RTW game works at the moment? If its one of the earlier full versions of the mod like v6.0 or gold they do overwrite the original files so you might need to re-install RTW to get things working again.

You're probably better off asking questions either on their website where you got the download or on their TWC forum http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=26.


Make sure you know which version of the mod you've tried to install and which patch version of RTW you have got and double check what the installation instructions said.


Good luck....

* Most people are downloading RTR 6.2 (for RTW 1.2) from the old official site at www.rometotalrealism.com

The current official site is at http://www.rometotalrealism.org/

The info you've given us wont really tie down the problem as well. Try adding -show_err to the command line of the shortcut - it'll hopefully give you an error message when it crashes. If its crashing that quickly its proberably a file error on startup parsing.

There also isn't much problem with deleting RTW and RTR and reinstalling RTW to change it just take the contents of your save folder and back them up and you wont lose any saves - also you can remember what factions you unlocked and put them back into PLAYABLE in the descr_strat.txt in world/campaign/imperial folder.

@Makanyane sorry for being unpatient

Today was my mod try day and I wanted to try another mod ; came up with Roma Surrectum? and seemed to be a pretty good one (sorry for switching mod suddenly), and there I had same problem but this time i got error message says this:


Script error in data/ descr.battle_map_lightning_and_fog_control.txt ,at line 7, column 1
expecting reading min_light_intensity

Probably something to change in script, but since i'm not a modder (yet :p)
, I wanted to ask for advice first before changing anything

[Permenion]

maybe it would help to show the script, maybe someone with same mod can tell me what's different
