Rob38 Turret & Horde Mount - Tutorial
u can upload t n torrent
Torrents are often associated with pirated games though :P
The team may not want that kind of association. Just saying that's how many people look at it, but everyone's got an opinion.
is just because big size mods take longer to download and utorrent make it easier
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
Hmm torrent is possible though I wont really be able to upload it constantly or anything :P Try downloading it with a torrent downloader, perhaps it has a "resume" function ;)
is it in english now???
Yes... Its always been in english... perhaps u are confusing our mod with the edain mod? or whatever mod the german one is :P
i download the mod but i can't play when the progress finish allways the game finnish my fortress and the enemy fortress destroyed
Forums.revora.net
Everytime i click singleplayer it never gets to the game...why is that?
I have 1.6 patch for bfme2.
Do you mean the launcher or the main menu of the actual game? If it does not work... Go to the install folder and press the RCMod - Singleplayer.exe. Thats if the launcher is not working correctly...
Ok I fixed that hang by changing the compability but when i start the game not in the launcher it just starts the game and the splash dissapears after a few seconds then poof nothing happens
I'm having the same problem as the fella from a while back, when I run the singleplayer.exe or the launcher I get the splash screen but then nothing it just disappears after about a minute. Any solutions?
I had that problem with the launcher. Singleplayer don't start.. i went into the folder as you said, tryied with the .exe file... and still don't run.
dude same thing happen to me. did you figure it out yet
When ever I start the game this windows pops out

Really bad realease so much bugs and crashes I'll just download version 1.7
I'm sorry i had not noticed your replies here, If you have MSN please PM it to me, that way i can personally help you get it to work. I had not noticed you were having so many problems with this.
I started playing n works fine like the new units but the new optional camera mode is very annoying, but the only and biggest problem is as soon as an enemy walks into my base all my buildings explode and i lose the game?. any suggestions?
"Most likely your game also does this in BFME 2...
-If it does not:
--find the support folder in the RC Mod folder and run the RCModRegistrator.exe.
--Copy the game2.dat from your BFME 2 game to the RC Mod install directory.
--If this does not work reenter the correct serial using the "The Battle for Middle-earth II - RC Mod_code.exe"
--If this does not work, Post in detail what you did so we can resolve this.
-If it does,
--Reinstall BFME 2 and make sure you enter the correct serial, and that it does not do this in BFME 2, when it works proceed with the steps mentioned above. "
ITS NOT RESPONDING :(
""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!"
See if this might be the reason? Or when does the not responding appear?
What's wrong with man of the east?
Can I play on bfme 2 or bfme ?
Men of the east is only available on BFME 2 mode ;)
please i want a bigger battles so can you make a large hordes submod bec that horde size is small and i want a bigger battles
Mod does not work, I click start game and loading and does not enter the game ...
Check for Game2.dat in the install location.
And in your application data copy the Options.ini from the My Battle for middle earth 2 files to the My Battle for Middle-earth™ II - RC Mod Files folder.
When I launch the installer, my antivirus says that there is a virus/malware...
There are even 2 of them: TR\dropper.gen and ADWARE\eshoper.gy.
In the future, can you please verify your files so that there are no viruses?!
Those are not actual viruses... It's just the virus scanner claiming there is... I need to figure out a way to fix that before next release...
If you need help installing it, then i might be able to help you personally if you are worried about the so called viruses :)
Oh, ok ;) Sorry!
And thanks for your offer, I could indeed use some help, because my antivirus blocks the whole installer, so I can't get it to work...
OK, I'll PM you and we will sort this out :) I'd rather not get more 1 ratings because the installer is messing things up or whatever, its ridiculous how many people rate so low without asking for help XD
Do I need RotWK to install this mod and get Noldor Elves?
You do not need RotWK, this is why we have a "singleplayer" mode, this allows you to play without RotWK. The current version of the singleplayer is known to be identified as a "virus" on some computers (which is obviously is not), hopefully the new version will not have this problem. Also i'm not sure if the Noldor Elves are in the Alpha Release.
The old Version are in the Alpha.

So many problems with this release it's just not worth the hassle for me. I appreciate the time spent making this mod, but effort needed to get the thing running without A) crashing on splash screen B) being defeated as soon as the enemy enter your base, just isn't worth the time. Compared to other mods which can be installed and played without the need to reinstall the base game and with no hassle, the RC mod is not user friendly at all. The new camera system is also extremely cumbersome too, better to just have a fixed view of between 400 - 500. Unistalling and rating down due to the hassle it takes to get the thing running.
I'm making a small little program that should fix all that stupid stuff... Should have it done in less than a week, perhaps that might make you happier...
And it's an alpha version for a reason... although I'll admit i did not expect this many people to have problems with installation... Seems that Desura really messed things up for us there, and for some reason the installer does not do what it should do all the time >_<
Hi RG, thanks for the PMs linking to the installation fix. That seemed to work ok. Got in game alright and started playing, still not a big fan of the camera location and the camera controls but other than that I really liked the look of it. That was until I experienced the CTD after a few minutes of playing. I guess I'll wait until you've finished the 'small little program' you mention above to see if that fixes it.
CTD? what is that? The death after 3 minutes?
If so, make sure you ran the fix as an administrator, it might be that the registry did not get copied correctly :P
How do you install the mod?
Download it from ModDB, then install it, then download and run the fix exe.

how about I download it from desura?
Sure that should work as well, but then you need to make sure you run the fix exe :)

i am installing your mod on desura i had a problem with installing the rj rotwk it couldnt work. Is this mod easy to install and play fast?
It should work if you also run the fixer exe that is uploaded on moddb as well...
