Rob38 Turret & Horde Mount - Tutorial
i aready liked 1.0 (long time ago) and now i will try out ur newest version
K, awesome :P
Does this require the expansion?
No it does not require the expansion, you can run singleplayer without it. For multiplayer you need either the RC Mod CD or the ROTWK cd ;)
it doesnt work for me where do i put this
you are supposed to install it to a clean directory... if thats the problem...
When i try to start multiplayer it says "Battle for middle earth requires an update"
Multiplayer does not work, only the LAN multiplayer works. (Internet one does not)
this mod is the best but why is not a Rise of the Witch King !!!!!!!!!!
It is partially ROTWK mod, but we dont like the angmar faction EA made, so its not in there. Perhaps in the future we may make an Angmar factions, but we do not know if we will do this.
Yes this mod is super!
okay i think it is a shame that some things are away in this version (still want it :D) but when i install it says:
RC Mod has not been totallyinstalled because of the following reason:
RCArt.big: this file contains invalid data (error 21FC)
You will have to run this utility again to completly install RC Mod.
why this happends no clue and now i cant get 1.07.
oh yeah i donwloaded it over and over again same error.
i downloaded 1.07 got this error thann i tried this!!, 1.00 1.06 1.07 updater same. now i am playing 1.06 but do i need the screen from 1.04 cuze i have gone throught the rohan camp twice and still no things form skirmish and stuff so kinda confussed
my bad i started up the game later and went to have dinner came bk to see every thing was normal so i can just play (1.06) like it and thx for tweaking beasts kinda empty, still like the critters OH about that the wargs some of them were normal and some of em were pink i turned shadows off so that cant be it help plz AND a happy new year
You only need to install V1.07 to be able to play the mod, the "Main" installer and such is not longer needed...
So... The installers do not work correctly?
Happy New Year to you too ;)
nee ze geven een error weer zoals je daar kan zien, maar ik snap niet waarom dat gebeurt want bij andere mods niet, maar de installers ik kan ze opstarten alles gaat goed en dan na het installeren geeft ie de error weer. i kept in in english first to not be rude and so others can respond aswel but now u are hgelping and i know you are dutch :)
Kstuur je wel n berichtje met n oplossing...
error 11FD met deze installer, alles weggehaalt zelf in AppData en dan deze runnen en dan krijg ik ror 11FD
I keep getting the message "failed to properly initiate (0xc0000135) must terminate program. can someone tell me whats wrong?
When does this happen? With the installer?
Or does it happen when running the game?
my game keeps crashing when I get into the game play. can some one help
Its possible you are encountering a nasty bug we have not been able to fix... Describe what you are doing when it crashes, so we can determine what the problem might possibly be.
I am playing a skirmish game 3v3 I get about 4minutes in and it just crashes. I have all the fractions in the game also. The map was Dagorlad. I have played 1v1 and it worked fine
remove gondor if possible... It seems to have a strange bug
thanks for your help
I can't play the campain, when I select the difficulty level it switches back to main menu.
I also don't have all faction, I only have Gondor, Rohan, Mordor, Isenguard and Harad.
Those are the only factions currently enabled, we have not implemented a campaign yet...
It won't start up. When I run the shortcut it tells me that I need to update my .NET framework. What is that and how do I do that?
Go to microsoft.com or something like that and find the .NET framework 3.0 or later version.
Thank you. One more question, what patch is this mod compatible for?
Should be any patch, but 1.06 is advised (latest)
But how can I play with the other 5 factions than (elves, dol guldur, ridder clan, dwarves,..)
...You can't? Unless u download a previous version that has them in it?
ok, and wil they be added in future versions again?
Yes most likely... At least Elves and Dwarves will :P
Help please when i instal mod and run it i get this "MISSING: 'ERROR:BaseGameFilesNotFound" what should i do?
You have BFME 2 installed correctly?
Perhaps running the updater should fix this, depends on if there are any .BIG files in your install location (of the RC Mod)
Does this mod require ROTWK?
Only to play multiplayer, though you can mount the RC Mod cd for this too, for the rest you can just play it with only BFME 2.
I pressed the "main" download and it bringed me in here, then i picked the another one and then it moved me also here. so i downloaded this from "main download" link. Is that any problem??
______________________
never mind the name...
This is the latest version of the mod, so that should not be a problem.
mine isnt working, i get the runtime error or something and something about spygame. it crashes when i try to start it. please help?
Do you have MSN or something through which we can discuss this? If you do not, start a PM conversation thing here on ModDB.
baklengs@live.no
Ok i added you on msn. Hopefully i see you online soon :P
When i press singleplayer it show me INI cannot open file Data Ini
Thats odd... Have you tried reinstalling?
My AntiVir program says : it's a malware!?
Don't worry, its not ;)
Hi, i when i press singleplayer, it's loading (rolling mouse button and starting screen) and then i'm back at the launcher..I tried reinst.both-game and mod, but nothing has changed..Thx for reply..
"Make an options.ini in the newly created "My Battle for Middle-earth™ II - RC Mod Files" folder. "
"Indeed that should fix it, if not check for the game2.dat in your RC Mod directory.
The folder Kwen is talking about is found in the application data, roaming, folder on your windows drive. (type p;pdata% in your address bar to go there"
This should be enough information for you to try to fix it :P
If it still does not work, let me know!
Great! Working, thanks ;)
