ALEXANDER EB

if you are using the mod ontop of the plain and clear EB 11 or EB 10 - you should have no problem's

so this mod is for 1.5 not alex exe?

since I'm not sure on what's your question, I have two possible answers

1-it's for EB 1.1 (that in order to have you must have RTW 1.5)

although IIRC alex.exe uses 1.9 or so but nevermind

2- you must have alexander expansion pack (alex.exe from CA) installed in order to use this

no i meant the new final beta mod not your mini mod. cant get it to load without crashing either way.lol oh well

ok, I istelled the the mod on a clean version of eb just like you said, but I'm still getting CTD immediately after the first loading screen when the opening video suppose to run. I tried to change the shortcuts location from EBTrivialScript\EBTrivialScript.exe" -s ebconfig.xml -runeb -type "Single Player to RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:eb -noalexander'' but the game still CTD. Anyone else have this problem?

Maybe you should try uploading an installer, Maksimus?

Ok, sovled that, the problem is that I needed to change the shortcuts location to RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:eb -noalexander'' before I instcated the Alex mod. Only then the game works.

But there is another problem - I can't start battles or campaigns. When I try custom battles, right after I choose the units and press the arow to start the battle, I'm sent back to the fation selection screen.
When I press EB campaign in the menu, I get an "Please select item form the list" message.
When I try to start historical battles, I get CTD.

So what's now?

**Maksimus** · 09-19-2008, 18:35

Oh, that is not the mod issue - it is the ALX.exe

Try to patch it .. - truth is I am not currently at my pc so I cant test this mod now on a plain and clear EB 11 version - but i will be able to do all that soon as monday

Can anyone confirm that the mod works for him?

**Leviathan DarklyCute** · 09-19-2008, 22:37

Well now I'm able to play custom and historic battle, but have any campaign start option.
And.. since I can't activate the alexmod with the trivalscript, I can only use rebel units in custom battle, plus some units model files seems to be missing so the game CTD when I try to choose them for battles.
Also.. the new units need a little balance, and the RS models are bigger then the EB models so it's looks kinda weird.
Other then that, everthing works fine. ;)

are you guys using the trivial script or a separate shortcut?

if the later right clic on it and add "-show_err" at the end of the target line

-show_err
that way, if the game crashes it will tell you why
