If you play campaigns and do not auto-resolve battles, playing custom battles is indeed a way to learn. A good understanding/feel for battles will help during the campaign.

Warman,
Do you see the Samurai Warlords beta 8 startup screen when you click on the shortcut you made?

Sounds like the unzip of beta 8 went to the wrong place. Windows unzip puts the contents in a subfolder under the folder you tell it to unzip into. If that happened, you could cut and paste the contents of that subfolder up one level into the new mtw/vi folder.
Another way to install this would be to unzip to a \temp folder, and then use cut and paste to move the unzipped files to the new mtw/vi folder.
You can also bypass the shortcut by clicking directly on the Medieval_TW.EXE in the new mtw/vi folder to see if that starts the beta 8.

OK. I didn't realize the zip version put everything under a \modfiles folder.Originally Posted by {BHC}KingWarman888
What you have to do is use file manager to navigate into that modfiles folder, select all the files and folders in there, right click on them and select cut. Then navigate up one level, use right click and paste the files into the mtw/vi folder. Answer "yes to all" when it asks to replace a file. Remember to delete all the maps in \Battle\Maps before doing this cut and paste.

Hey Tosa,Originally Posted by TosaInu
yea,you will see me next Sunday also. Only Ploblem I had was, before I left, CBR (I think), hosted a game, and I had ploblems seeing his game then and a little while back before I fought Tosa,plus it seem when I was typing, it came up very slow. Other then that, my two 1v1's ran smoothly.
Hello {BHC}KingWarman888,
It seems GameSpy is acting up at times (invisible games, lag).

Yea, it happens sometimes.
Download and installation went fine; I must say that Barocca and anyone has worked on this modification did an impressive job, many thanks to all.
I saw also new pieces in Barocca post of last 26 june but they are not included in the beta 8,
may we expect a new release or those new improvements are available elsewhere ?
Cheers
There will be a beta 9, but probably not for a while. In the meantime, I have made a preliminary set of new castle maps for evaluation, and these can be installed on the beta 8.
SW_castles_2 is a set of 8 castle maps repeated 3 times to replace castleflat_01, castlehilly01 and castleplains01. Also included are new model parameter files to adjust the strength and firepower of gates and walls.
To install this first delete all the castle maps in \Battle\Maps, and then unrar this archive to your main Samurai Warlords beta 8 folder. Let the install overwrite the existing files. Don't install this to a version of beta 8 that you use for MP, because it will make your game incompatible with other MP players.
Also, I would suggest reducing the kensai combat stats to be att=9, def=7 otherwise he becomes too strong due to battlefield upgrades.
Also, you may want to switch to the new province incomes, which I think work well, as detailed in this post by barocca.

Hey,
yea, it seems like lately, when I did those 1v1's with Tosa that one Sunday, it worked fine, I didn't have much lag or anything, but these past 2 sundays, I kept getting these out of memory error messages. CBR said it's proably a driver issue if I remember correctly.
I think your battlefield screen resolution may be set too high. It also might help to set the desktop to 16-bit color.Originally Posted by {BHC}KingWarman888

9.0c I thought I was running.
You could try reinstalling DirectX 9.0c.

Hello,
There are several revisions of DX 9.0c afaik. I've run into trouble myself too and am ever since clueless why they don't continue the alphabet.

Hello {BHC}KingWarman888,
Better than it was some years ago, but still a bit of a jungle indeed.
This is what I downloaded I think. Yes, looks like it.

What is your problem? If you have a newer DX, you can't just install.
This is a more recent one

Edit: for me the MS server pops up can't find pages at times, but the provided URLs are correct, just try a few times again.
