ALEXANDER EB

[CaptainCrunch]

I've posted this in the general forum, but I'll take a shot here as well in case it's Alex related. I'm running the stock EB 1.2 with Alex and suddenly (around 232) I've lost the ability to recruit mercenary generals from my type IV settlements. Even if I capture new ones and build fresh type IVs. Has anyone else ever run into this problem and figured out a solution?

[europabarbara]

Can someone upload the alex.exe ENGINE mod files that work with TrivialScript? The zshare link is not working

Hi guys,

I've followed all the installation instruction, I only what the improved engine not the full mod. However I cant get past the loading screen as an error pops up saying unable to read the "chat_filter" file.

I'm pretty certain I've got the target line correct for the EB short cut. (see below)

"C:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -nm -noalexander

I'm just wondering have I extracted the "EB12_on_ALX.exe!" file in to the wrong location? I've placed it in the EB file in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War" file.

Hope this makes sense!? Thanks for your time guys

I have a problem. The files on GameFront seem to be inaccessible. I keep getting errors. This may be due to problems on GameFront (I've had similar problems today with another file) or with these files specifically.

[drmihnea]

Indeed, the Alexander EB GameFront files are inaccessible for me as well. Can anyone re-upload these please, perhaps to another file hosting service? I would very much like to play EB on the Alexander engine.

Sadly:

Can I download Game Front files from any territory in the world?
A: Game Front file downloads are not supported in the following territories. If you’re not in one of the below territories and are still having issues with our servce, please submit a ticket and we’ll look into it.

Argentina
Mexico
Chile

Venezuela
Italy
Peru
Uruguay
Malaysia
Turkey
Indonesia
India
Ecuador

Portugal
Romania
Russian Federation
Serbia
Singapore
Sweden

With that said, Game Front doesn't work for me either (403 Forbidden error), and I am in Belgium, which isn't listed.

Tried a proxy, but so far no luck :(.

[drmihnea]

I've tried the download using a German proxy to no avail (403 - Forbidden). Can no one re-post these files on this site or another file hosting service?

[julius_caesar_the_first]

For those that can't download this mod, a solution would be to use this mod pack https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...ack-for-EB-1-2 . In certain ways it's better since it includes everything this mod has to offer and more :).

[Maksimus]

no it doesnt, none of the mods in the history of this game has as much content as mine, not near as much xD

also, i never had time to write on all the things i made active here, like the Amazon city of gold and silver and diamonds far up the North east, takes u years to get there but when you do... you will never be the same


here is rapidshare

[Maksimus]

rapidshare should work now

[moriluk]

[shugendo]

So the download links for this new mischief of yours? I was going to install the Alexander version but the 66 pages topic full of links seems kind of hectic at the moment..

[Maksimus]

its not done yet D:

[Jugurtha King of Numidia]

This works great! I am playing on Hard Campaign and Very Hard Battle and have lost several battles already. A.I. hides in woods (at least when I started in a wooded area) and throw stones from their slingers at me and it took a while to find them. I am in year 267 but having a blast just playing Rome. Thank you Modders for
Europa Barbororum!!

[Maksimus]

I am working on final version, there will be more active AI and basically campaign will be even harder.

[shenmea]

cant trigger the "March of Time" event, anyone else has the problem?

[Maksimus]

mod is done, just have to wrap the screens and upload, very little testing

[Maksimus]

need testers

There is a common bug when you try to install Alexander..
Most of us use default install location after which is always ''C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\..'' but if you use any other HDisk drive to install Alexander - you have a problem!

The installer always checks drive C for diskspace regardless of installationdrive. If you try to install ALEX and the installer quits with "error -1" (or something like that) you are propably a victim of this bug.

To play EB with ALEX.exe you have to copy 2 files from the ALEX-CD to your harddrive!

The easy one first:
Copy ''RomeTW-ALX.exe'' that can be found on the CD into your RTW installation folder, into the same directory where ''RomeTW.exe'' is and/or ''BI.exe'' (if you have one)
The second file is ''chat_filter.san''! This one is also on the CD, but it is packed in CAB files.

Here you need ''i6comp'' program
To get i6comp go to:
http://programmerstools.org/node/123

I will describe how to use i6comp to extract the CAB files, other tools can be found on the net - or google for it.

Unzip the download in some directory, say ''D:\extract''. This should give you, among others, the file ''i6comp.exe''.
From the ALEX CD copy the files ''data1.cab'', ''data1.hdr'' and ''data2.cab'' into the same directory.
Open a Text-editor and create a file ''i6comp.bat'' with the following line:
''i6comp e -r data1.cab''

Save the file in ''D:\extract''.

Doubleclick ''i6comp.bat''.

This will extract A LOT of files and may take some time to complete.
When its done you should find ''chat_filter.san'' in ''D:\extract''.
Copy ''chat_filter.san'' to ''<your RomeEB directory>\EB\data''.

I've installed EB on a new computer but a window launches saying "Failed to read censored word dictionary file: data//chat_filter.san". I have installed RTW, Alexander, EB 1.1, 1.2 and Jirisys' Rome: Total War - Alexander - Europa Barbarorum Mega Mod Pack. So I followed your instructions but I'm wondering how long it takes to extract. Its been about and hour now and its still extracting (I think). Is something wrong?

[Maksimus]

Hi,

chat_filter.san is a file you would have to copy from Alexander data folder into EB one. However i cannot 100% confirm if coping itself would work alone as ur using other mod.

for EAEM you can simply download the new link and play it separately from your current game, just save it in any random location.

[Frtigern]

Ok I tried installing EAEM and fixes, your screen will load but it still asks for chat_filter.san. I copied the chat_filter.san from the Alexander data folder into the EB one but that didn't work.

[Maksimus]

try downloading the last link i posted the 2 gig one and run eaem.ink, must - must run, u wont regret

[dimitris90s]

Hi Maksimus and thanks for your great work!
I haven't played yet because i didn't make it to install it properly.I'm a little noob in these matters of installation.
If you have time please i want you to make a tutorial if possible with the new version you made.
How do i install Alexander,must i install Barbarian invasion first or directly after vanilla?
Thanks for your time in this great mod.
