This guide is for windows 7 64 bit and perhaps the beta OS win 10.

1. Create a text document named Gamestart in the same folder you put the mod, open the document Gamestart.txt and add the line

Eduke32 /xdukedk.CON /gdukedk.grp

save the document and change the Gamestart.txt to Gamestart.bat (you need to disable hidden file extensions in windows to do this)

2. Throw your copy of duke3d.grp and the eduke32 program(I'm using latest version 2017) into the same folder as the mod, Double click the Gamestart.bat and then click start in eduke32, now you are playing the mod.

I recommend playing without patch first before trying with the patch just incase, but its up to you.

This guide is for win7 64 bit OS using eduke32, written November 1,2017.
Mod is for original version of game. (as author said DO NOT use atomic version of duke3d.grp)

1. Create a txt document in the folder you unzipped this mod to.

2. add this line>>>>> eduke32.exe /ggrune.grp /xgrgame.con <<<<<<<<<< no arrows and save the txt document.

3.Rename txt document to anything you want (i used Gamestart) so my file shows up as Gamestart.txt

4.(THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP)Rename Gamestart.txt to Gamestart.bat you need to disable hidden file extensions in windows to do this.

5. (FINAL STEP) unzip eduke32 program to the same folder the mod is in and throw your copy of duke3d.grp in there aswell. Now just double click the Gamestart.bat and click start in eduke32 when it opens you should see Grune in the episodes list.

EDIT: I Installed the patch for this mod by changing name of new.grp to Drune.grp and replacing the old Drune.grp. And the game/mod seems to be working fine still.(not sure if its working the way its supposed to though I've not fully played it through yet)

If anyone is having trouble with this mod only half working please right click the ror.exe in the installation directory and run as Administrator.
You may or may not also have to open RoR.exe and un-tick read-only and hit apply (you need admin rights to do this).

You should only have two factions showing on the skirmish menu, Rome and Carthage. (this means its working)

RIGHT CLICK THE ROR.EXE AND RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

Nice!!! Updated map is working on Edain 4.3

And its a good fun map, thanks a lot, I hope all you good map makers never stop making good maps for years to come. :)

Thank you so much for the quick fix.

I am Playing it now, Its beautiful :) (Edain 4.3)

Awesome work, The world is a slightly better place now.

I see you updated another map, I'll have to take a look after I win this match :P

Wow nice fast reply, Thank you I cant wait :)

Ready the defences for the enemy draws near!!!
Fade to black and AUTODEFEAT at 14 seconds.

EDAIN 4.3

Player 1 bottom lothlorien no other player selected autodefeat at 14 seconds.I can hear gandalf say something while thranduil is giving his speech, something about being defeated or the likes.
I tried several different ways of getting this map past the opening.

I can play the map if I start at the top position but then Im just attacking enemy from behind (and getting my *** kicked cause i have no resources xD) and the opening of the map doesn't play correctly if i start at the top, also the objectives seems to be working properly when starting at the top and i even managed to win a game, all I did was kill kamul (was not easy) and like 20 seconds later the enemy retreated and game victory :P

I opened up WB for BFME2 cause i didn't see any real structures in the map other then tents so i thought maybe thats why? so I tried adding some structures 3 elf forges assigned to 3 different player 1 teams hunters,player 1,and another one not sure.. still auto-defeat I don't know what to do im still nub at WB .... :(

I hope you can look into this soon as I just played battle for lothlorien and it was great, worked fine.

Ok I am trying to play this right now but after open game - select map - set positions I am getting a game crash after hitting play button.

I am use Edain 4.3
