BEFORE INSTALLING THE TEUTONIC MOD ;
In order to prevent the Teutonic Order symbol glowing strangely and too big,in the faction selection menu ;delete the following files found in the DATA/MENU/SYMBOLS/FE_BUTTONS_48 FOLDER
1-symbol_48_saxons.tga
2-symbol_48_saxons_grey.tga
3-symbol_48_saxons_roll.tga
4-symbol_48_saxons_select.tga
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
It came to my attention that some people saw the Teutonic units as invisible.The main reason for that is probably using the modswitch so for getting everything you see in the features section of the mod,please apply the installation instructions properly.
1-It is important that you have unpacked the files with CA's unpacker tool.(patch v1.1)
2-It is essential to run the Teutonic Order mod provided that you unzip into your VANILLA(ORIGINAL) medieval2 folder NOT your mymod folder.
3-Extract the Teutonic Order you have downloaded into your medieval2 folder of your mtw2 game.
4-Run the game from a batch file. (ex.teutonic.bat)
DO NOT FORGET to delete the following files,if you haven't already:
Due to a timestamp check, the following unpacked files will
cause the game to crash and must be deleted before the game is
launched:
data\descr_geography_new.txt
data\descr_geography_new.db
(QUOTED FROM THE VANILLA UNPACKER READ ME .TXT)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The mod is pretty much complete so I guess this is probably the final version.Enjoy!
For your comments and feedback let's meet at this thread! :
Twcenter.net
Since there are maximum of 21 facitons being available in Custom Battle Mod,I had to write "no" to the custom battle availability of the AZTECS faction,to enable The Teutonic Order in the Custom battle.
If you wish to play with the Aztecs in the custom battle,open the "sm_factions.txt" found in the medieval 2/data folder and find there the SAXONS, change custom battle availability to "no" then find the AZTECS and change the custom battle availability from "no", to "yes".
