King or country

[Leonard]

I have been trying to get this English civil war mod to work, but am failing terribly. Can someone please make it a steam friendly mod? I NEED TO PLAY AS OLIVER CROMWELL!

downloaded. tested. works fine with steam version. could you describe your issue in a little bit more details?

I have same problem.. Do you enter through 'Steam', and if so where do you find the mod, or if not, with the mod in the file in the Steam folder, what and were is the button to press? all I can find in that file is the 'icon' for 'king and Country', which does zippo...by the way, I am using Windows 7 pro, if that makes any differance..

[Hans Roths]

I should also point out that I placed 'King and Country', in the Medieval 11 file as the instructions say to do..and yet zippo-narda--at a loss !!

[Damavikoff]

i have dowloaded it (version adopted for version with kingdoms) from (delete spacebar) https://y adi.sk/d/7XFBRrAWbiANM (link from tw center didn't work for me)
then you should put the folder with the mod into
\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods folder.
and finally you should run the game (original medieval 2) with
--features.mod=mods/for_king_or_country
parameter

also 'Скачать' = 'Download' for the link above :D

[Leonard]

Ah thankyou Damavikoff. I shall try that link. I have been trying the TWC versions and i think i follow directions to a tee, but on startup it just crashes shortly after the KIng or Country screen comes up.

[Leonard]

Actually Dama .. i could not get that link to work. It say's "site cant be reached" so sorry for the bother.

[Hans Roths]

Sad to say that I still don't have any luck downloading this file and getting it to work.. Have tried the latest that you have given, but --narda, zippo - I seem to be fated not to get it..
It just won't give me a working shortcut key, that stays in the 'mod' file...Can I take it that all of the download goes into the 'mod' file?..and if not, which goes to where..sorry if I appear dumb right now, but I am getting a little 'ticked'.... Thank you anyway for your help my friend..

[Damavikoff]

don't give up :D
maybe i 'll find something

[Damavikoff]

Finally i have another link for you. I have checked its content. It works.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByoSqXari2dUWlItYURGaGg3YWs&usp=sharing
1. Download archive.
2. Extract it into \Medieval II Total War\mods\ folder.
3. Set
--features.mod=mods/for_king_or_country @mods\for_king_or_country\for_king_or_country.cfg
launch parameter.
4. Start vanilla Medieval 2 game.

should work. tell me if you still have any issues.

[Leonard]

So i extracted the exe file to Steam / Steamapps / Common / Medieval II Total War / Mods file, then copy and pasted this--features.mod=mods/for_king_or_country @mods\for_king_or_country\for_king_or_country.cfg into the launch options bit in properties by right clicking on the medieval II icon in games list in steam, then tried to lauch vanilla version in steam and it crashed not long after title screen comes up. Im rater new to the mod/steam world.

[Damavikoff]

Which exe file? There is a .rar archive you should download and extract.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByoSqXari2dUWlItYURGaGg3YWs&usp=sharing

\for_king_or_country folder should appear under the \mod folder
and this \for_king_or_country folder should contain folders like 'custom', 'data', 'packs' etc.

[Leonard]

ah! sorry had the wrong link. re- trying now

[Leonard]

IT WORKED!!!! thanks so much for your help Damavikoff . You are the best

[Hans Roths]

Well here I go with my tail of gloom.. I have the file 'for_king_or_country' inside the mod file that also contains 4 other's from Steam DL..

The for_king_or_country file has mentioned above files inside it, and I played some 'music' samples from the sound file..so that works ok.
But, when I press the for_king_or_country.exe button inside that file, (with icon) it either for a spilt second shows a small box befroe closing, or, just lunchs Medieval 11 Total War in it's normal manner,

So something I am doing wrong, or it just will not regonize that file in the 'mod' folder, even though the damn thing is there...

Sorry to be a pain 'D', but I so much would love to have this working, as it is my 'dream' since school days to rewrite history with victory for the King !!

Your help is trully apprecated with this..sorry to be a pain

By the way, it does not show any shortcut key on my desktop, or anywhere come to that..is it supposed to?

[Damavikoff]

:D
Everything will be OK. I promise.
First, download an archive from
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByoSqXari2dUWlItYURGaGg3YWs&usp=sharing
If you already have another for_king_or_country folder inside \mod folder then just delete it before unpacking the archive.
Then unpack it into
\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\ folder.
for_king_or_country folder should appear under \mods folder.
It should looks like:
\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\for_king_or_country
This for_king_or_country folder should contain other folders like like 'custom', 'data', 'packs' etc (but NOT another for_king_or_country folder) inside.
Don't touch these .exe files inside it, you don't need them.
Then set following launch parameter (by right clicking on Medieval 2 Total War in Steam, then choose properties, then you will see two buttons something like 'set launch option' and 'create desktop shortcut' (sorry, i don't know how it exactly looks in English version of Steam)), push this 'set launch option' button and insert following:
--features.mod=mods/for_king_or_country @mods\for_king_or_country\for_king_or_country.cfg
Press 'Ok'
Now you are ready to run this mod.
Just launch Medieval 2 Total War in Steam and choose 'Play Medieval 2 Total War'
It should start as the King or Country mod.

I'm afraid i can confuse you with these explanations, but still try to do this

If you need shortcut, you can use vanilla game shortcut. Until launch option
--features.mod=mods/for_king_or_country @mods\for_king_or_country\for_king_or_country.cfg
is here, vanilla game will start as For King or country mod
