So, ive followed your instructions on your other pages, downloading it, putting it into "my battle for middle earth files" or whatever, then changing the target box to add -mod extended edition, but nothing has changed in the game, no new factions, maps or anything, and i tried to start it from the folder my battle for middle earth files, but the error code said
"Expected floating point value or predefined macro, but found 'ROHAN_ELVEN_MELEE_DAMAGE_UPGRADE'
error parsing field 'damage' in block 'weapon' in file 'data\INI\Weapong.ini', line 7676
Because of the severity of this error the game will now exit."
Any clue what i'm doing wrong?
You need patch 1.03 or 1.05. Also this version has an installer, and a shortcut.
so i just downloaded patch 1.05, put it in the battle for middle earth folder, tried starting up the shortcut, and got the same message, rohan elven melee damage upgrade, and it closed
You need to install patch 1.03 first.
ah, really? so 1.03 and 1.05 are both going into the my battle for middle earth folder, and i shouldnt delete either one?
I hope this helps you The3rdage.net. Also i think you should reinstall the game if doesnt work.
Thank you very much, i got it working, and the mod looks great!
Thanks :). Please tell me if you find some gamecrashes or bugs, because i want to release a patch in 2 weeks.
hello Rohirim91, I just inscribed in this community and are a huge fan of LOTR Battle for Middle Earth; I could explain how to install this mod thanks in advance scusami per la pessima lingua ; io sono portoghese :)
Install patch 1.03 or 1.06 The3rdage.net , and then run the installer you download here. Also if you have any problems read this tutorial The3rdage.net .
very good mod. but all games crash continues ...
With which faction did it happen ?
Gondor
And against which factions did you play, and were they on Hard, Medium or Easy ?
Played 2/2 Gondor, Rohan / Gondor, Mordor. All Hard. On 40 minutes the game was crash. The next game was Rohan / Isengard - all excellent. Thank you for the mod. Wonderful work. I hope that you get crash remove.
Thanks :). This is what i feared. This July a really bad problem occured with Gondor. It was about the Fire arrows and the Forged Blades, however i managed to get it working, but it seems it is happening again, and is probably the cause of that gamecrash. So as far as i know all factions exept Gondor should be fine.
Yeeeeeesss!!!! Finally thank you Rohirrim i waited for update so long and now its done Thank you man.
No problem :). Also can you post any bugs and gamecrashes you find ? Also i suggest you to use patch 1.05.
So, its an amazing mod, i love it, just crashed for the first time while playing as the elves, but i still love it! is it possible to combine it with other mods?
or have it and another mod working at the same time?
Thanks, and against which faction did you play when it crashed ?. Also combining two mods isnt possible and you can have another mod installed but you cant run two mods of the same game at once.
thanks, and i was playing as the elves, allied with rohan, playing against the harad and mordor. two other things are, idk if this is for anyone else, but when i gave the gondor horsemen forged blades, there was a purple rectangle around their swords, and second, theres no button beside the heroes to select them all... thanks :)
no button to select all heroes with the elves, and im assuming harad
against the harad, if it is me, and an ally (AI) against the Harad, and say mordor, both AIs, the harad stay inactive the whole game. they build nothing
This isnt good. I tought i fixed that bug with Gondor. And the select buttons are there, but they dont have a texture, thats a common problem with new factions. And Harad and Elves dont have AI for now.
alright, thanks again
do you need al other mods to play this?
No need to install other mods. You only need patch 1.05 or 1.03.
The harad faction camps don't work so you get auto defeated when playing on maps with camps. Also elven camps don't have a camp floor.
I know and i have no idea why that happens. Camps dont work on the upper left and bottom left positions in camp maps (at least in Lebbenin). Also Elves dont have camp and castle floors for now :P.
Its probably because you didn't make all the bases or you mistyped something as you're suppose to have NW, NE, SW, SE for all bases
Well i just coded in the Harad camps and castles from Harad mission in the Evil campgain, but i will replace them in the next version.
i cannot run the game. game crash shows up and it says:
Data\INI\GameData.ini
Duplicate MACRO names.
ROHAN_ROHIRRIM_HEALTH_RECOVERY_TIME.
what can i do in this case? ( or similar )
Install Patch 1.03 or 1.05 (i recomend patch 1.05 ).
Thanks for the new mod update! Have tried out the Harad faction and it's pretty interesting. However, it be helpful to add a type of siege weapon infantry/structure as playing against HARD Gondor or Rohan is more difficult due to their castle structure, gate, etc. Sentry towers would be nice for some defense as the bases are pretty much defenseless without units. An extra hero/villain maybe(I have no idea on who to add)? Lastly, few spells or powers for Harad could be like a spawning of the Harad horsemen or a horde of oliphaunts? These are just ideas or suggestions that could improve the Harad faction.
Thanks for the ideas :). I wil add a Rhun captain as a hero, and a Rhun Catapult and maybe a Battering Ram, and i will add Sentry Towers to their camps and castles. And i need ideas about the Spellbook so please post them on the mod page.
Also, how do I get the 2 new maps from the last update/patch? Can't find/play them when setting up skirmish...
I didnt add new maps in the mod, but you can download new maps here The3rdage.net.
Hello.
Are you planning add AI to elves and harad, in the next version?
I dont know much about making an AI, but i will try my best to make them in the next version.
Thank you, I hope you can, but no pressure
Hello some questions this mod has sauron and elves have a fortress base?
Sauron is a new hero for Mordor, and Elves and Harad are new factions. For the full list of changes read the Readme file that is included in the installer.
You just have to run the installer and use the shortcut of the mod which installed on your desktop. If the shortcut isn't working, then:
1) Right-click the shortcut of the mod, and go to "Properties".
2) In the "Target" and "Start" named boxes change the paths if you installed the game in a custom directory.
3) Click Aplly and Ok.
This version won't work for me. It just sits on the main loading screen and comes up with a huge a*** error. I've tried reinstalling both game and mod, all updates installed but nothing changed. Please help!! Thanks
Install patch 1.03, 1.06 or 1.07 and be sure to use this tutorial if you are using Windows Vista, 7 or 8 Forshire.blogspot.com . Hope this helps :).
this doesnt work and i really want a mod on my game and i am so angry
no files or anything appears. this is just fun
