Samurai Warlords - new MP addon for beta_5

Dear Sunday Samurais,

after switching back to beta_5, because of the stability problems with beta_8,
some beta_8 eye-candy was missed. I've put together an installer which will
bring some changes but won't interfere with the vanilla MTW/VI campaign or the MP side of the beta_5.
changes:

• Menu frontend files
• rectangular unitflag added
• added the beta_8 mons for the Samurai factions
• battle command buttons
• battle cursors
• fixed the STW Swapper

After installing you'll be compatible with beta_5 versions with or without this add-on installed. None of the changes should interfere with MP gameplay.

Thanks R'as, looking good

I copied the Beta 5 game (just in case), and created a “Beta 5 – Plus” version as a Samurai Warlords dedicated game.

Now with this SW dedicated game, I am looking to get the music, sounds and voices from Shogun, and transfer them to SW. The extraction for STW is simple enough, but the installation to my Beta 5 – Plus creates a swappable file system which I do not need with a dedicated copy.

I believe that the swappable file capability setup confused some who wanted the STW sounds installed, and they gave up on it. But now that others are possibly where I am in this (creating a dedicated copy), that maybe the install could be simplified with modified instructions, or another installer program?

P.S. Standard windows batch files do not work with Vista

Tomisama...
Would installing the ...choice..file to your WINDOWS/system32 allow Vista to read the batch files? I know it was needed with Windows XP.

Thanks Jochi

I checked the Vista system32, and choice is there already, so that's ok.

The problem seems to be with the copy command. From what success I have had with this so far, most other functions are performed, but because of Vista’s enhanced security, the copy command is nonfunctioning.

I am sure that there is a way around this, I just haven’t found the correct one yet.

Are you going to joining us on Sundays soon Jochi-san

Yuuki told you to reinstall beta_5 because you've used the swapper.
The old swapper is broken and once you swapped you can't get the Projectiles back that we use.
If you just install the add-on, the swapper will get fixed and you can swap the correct stats back.

Yes, install the add-on and then use the swapper to get the right projectile stats.

If the swapper won't run for you, for Samurai Wars just copy the \STWprojectile\STWmod\Projectilestats.txt file to your main game folder. To go back to MTW/VI stats, copy the \STWprojectile\VI\Projectilestats.txt to your main game folder.
