Add-On Pack 1

[wotan321]

Thanks for the help on my .dll error. So you are saying I should.

1. Delete and/or backup the RtW folder.
2. Reinstall from the BtS disks
3. Run the 2nd RtW update.

Correct?

I am using the 3.02 BtS.

The new beta 2 files contain the full mod. So...

1. Delete/move the RtW folder.
2. Install beta 2 (make sure to \Beyond the Sword\Mods\The Road to War\).

 

[wotan321]

Okay, that sounds simple enough. Thanks.

Sorry if my post wasn't clear enough. When I said run setup I meant to run the exe file you downloaded for the add on pack.

 

[wotan321]

It was clear enough, I just want to make sure I am exact in my actions lest I blow something up. It happens.

Well I installed Add on Pack Beta 2 on top of the original (the one that came with BtS) mod and it worked fine. One thing is that there is now three WBS files for each scenario for example for 1939 you have:

1. Europe 1939 (Hitler)
2. Europe 1939 (Von Pappen) (Giving us a choice of leaders was a nice touch BTW)
3. Europe 1939.

The third one causes a CTD when you try to load it. I'm assuming it's from the original mod and you could probably go into Public Maps folder and safely delete it.

Also I'm guessing the 1936 World and 1936 World 2 files are from the upcoming World Map version.

 

[Dale]

The ones with no leadername are the originals. Delete them.

And yes, the world ones will be unplayable (I forgot they were there actually)

 

[Silica_Pathways]

And yes, the world ones will be unplayable

That's quite dissapointing

I checked the .wbs'es and those world scenarios look very tempting, especially the second one, as there's so many civs in...

@Dale

While you are working on the Global scenario can I ask you to include Egypt please! I won't say which civ it should replace, but I only think it is better to have a civ that was involved in the war even though its role was very minor. Egypt did declare war on Germany due to the defensive pact it had with UK. Also one of the most decisive war battles was fought on Egyptian land in Alamin. (Just see if some civ is there that has actually nothing to do with WWII).

Does the addon pack work with BtS 303?

Should I delete the folder already there before installing?

 

[Kalimakhus]

@nemt

-Yes it works with 3.03
-For current Add On Pack Beta, you should either delete the folder or rename it before installing the pack. (I prefer renaming to keep the official mod version in anticipation of ant coming Firaxis patch that might change official contents)

 

[wotan321]

So what is the ETA on the newest update for this fine mod?

 

[Bob1475]

Dale -

I played the original when I bought BTS but was excited about the add-on. However, I have had nothing but grief since I downloaded. After I downloaded the first time I would get what appeared to be an advanced start game on your map. I tried this two or three times with the same result.

I figured something had gone wrong somewhere so I reloaded BTS but had the same result. So I figured it was a corrupted file in the download. Downloaded again and now it won't load due to graphics and other issues. So now I can't play the mod at all.

Any ideas? I am getting tired of downloading.

 

[nemt]

That sounds like a Direct X issue, but I don't think BtS will even load without the current DX runtimes.

Did you do a clean install, or did you overwrite it?

 

[wotan321]

Dale,

What is the progress on the next update (with events)?

Thanks again for all your hard work.

hi thx for the nice mod
i dl the add on but i get only Add on Pack Beta 1 ..cant find the Add on Pack Beta 2
what i have to do to get it?in the apolyton site there is only the beta 1
and the link at top of topic is linked to Add on Pack Beta 1 too

thx

 

[PinkPallin]

Don't worry: the file is correct, it is the Add On Pack 1 beta 2. There's no Add On Pack 2 yet.

 

[bergrar]

ty Pink
but i dont find the option to choose a different leader for germany
1. Europe 1939 (Hitler)
2. Europe 1939 (Von Pappen) (Giving us a choice of leaders was a nice touch BTW)
3. Europe 1939.
sometime i feel so dumb to ask questions

 

[wotan321]

These are good questions.

1 & 2 are from the add on pack, you can only have one leader per civ in a scenario. So you choose which scenario you want to choose your leader. Once you start the scenario, you can choose to be the leader of one of the other playable civs.

choice 3 is a leftover from the original Mod. You can delete it.

I hope this helps.

 

[Dale]

Sorry for my quietness guys, been really busy.

But yes, wotan above is correct.
