C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king
i coppied the file directly into that

That's probably your mistake. Just put it into your C:\ directory. (C:\RJ_RotWK)

So the .exe files does not work?

[killer903201]

i didnt work anymore yes but i reinstalled it and it works again , when i go online (i know that you can get the update there) it exits the game and than it says: "netwok error". i can paly the normal game again but i cant get the update ill try your update once more because yesterday morning i couldnt even redownload it (the game on EADM) and last night it suddenly worked again so ill try your patch again but it kinda frustrating.
ill go through my steps:
1. installed lotr bfme2 rotwk
2. downloaded RJ_rotwk (standard goes to download map in "C:\")
3. unpacked it in download so the map "2009-03-07-RJ_RotWK_1_06" is standing in downloads
4. opend it and i coppied "RJ_RotWK_1_06" to the rotwk map "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king"
5. i coppied the mod shortcut to the screen (sorry am dutch dont know all the names od every thing )
6. i checked the "start in" and "target" they were correct
7. i tried to find the update on the internet i even went to EA wich has WAY worse help than on this site (not that is is bad over here) found it but that was for the CD version
8. nothing tried to run the mod normal game started cuze RJ_Rotwk mod start with the tower of mordor (right?) and than wasnt the case.
that is pretty much it

can you not just make a video of the installation, and put it on youtube or put it on the forums??
thx in advance

Hmmm... don't know what to say. I have the DVD version so I don't know much about the direct download version. Sorry.

[killer903201]

oke this is so weird but SO AWSUMMMM. this morning i reinstalled it i went online to get the patch it just worked for some reason i play some matches in vanilla, and this evening i checked every thing of RJ rotwk cuze that was still in the map and the shortcut was also still there and i started it up(went to the couch hoping it would work) and than it worked i turned the shadows or off and no pinkyness no nothing so i played a skirmish i praid that WOTR would work and it did I have to say GJ on the campain, is there just a campain for gondor or?????

Try redownloading the mod, this happened to me the first time I installed it, and redownloading and reinstalling worked for me.

No, you need Battle for Middle Earth II: Rise of the Witch King.

[MattTheLegoman]

If you have Battle for Middle-earth 1, follow the instructions to get some more audio in the campaign. It isn't necessary to play the game, however.

once you download the .rar file, you need to extract it to the C:\ drive. it shouldnt go into any other folder, just the root directory of the C:\ drive.
then you just need to move the shortcut that was in the .rar file (should be right next to the actual mod folder in your C:\ drive) to wherever you want it

now if your game isnt installed in the default directory (C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king) then you will need to right click on the shortcut that you moved from the C:\ drive and go to properties
once in properties, go to the shortcut tab
from here you will need to change the 'Target' line to read: "Directory of your game\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod "C:\RJ_RotWK"
the 'Start in' line will also need to be changed to read: "Directory of your game"

you were little vague, so i hope this covers the issues you were having.

Hello,

Sorry to bother you, I have changed the 'Target' path and the 'Start In' path, but it just comes up with an error when I run the shortcut... Its quite long, but some of it says 'An upgrade mask references Upgrade_DreadVisage, which is not an Upgrade' and 'Error parsing field 'TriggeredBy' in block 'Object' in the file 'data\ini\object\evilfaction\units\mordor\saurongeneral.ini', line 537' :S No idea what these mean!
My 'Target' reads: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\LotrBfMe2EP1.exe" -mod "C:\RJ_RotWK"
My 'Start In' reads: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king"

I presume that is right?

Regards,

Chris

Hello,

 

I understood the instructions but my local disk is full so the game couldn't be install there so i want your opinion if the mod could be run without the habitual launcher properties.

 

 

Thanks for help
