Hi guys I play elvenstar 5.8 with some of my friends on Online server and we want to play 2vs2 or 3vs3? Is there anyone playing this mod? (by the way this one is my first post and forgive me if I make a mistake, please)

Is there a way to set up EM 5.8 on Win 7? I always get error messages...

[Mathijs]

Not a lot of people here play Elvenstar because of the way the installation is set up, I think.

[murderer33]

Its approximately 80mb and easy to install. We all use win 7 and there is no problem. We just downloaded online edition and set up elvenstar mod on it. By the way u can play BFME I without elvenstar mod if u want. There are some different options 

[Mathijs]

Does it use the -mod command nowadays or does it still install right into the original game's installation folder?

[murderer33]

Still installation yet Its possible to launch the original game with the mod

[Mathijs]

Yeah, thought as much. Too bad the way they handled that. 

[murderer33]

Since we just play elvenstar we dont care about anything. Also I don't know how to install other mods and the differences  

[Echo]

Never had problems with installing/uninstalling EM, never caused trouble

 

And you gotta admit, during Gameranger times EM's installation was superior to the -mod command.

 

I can't use EM because I would always get an error message as soon as I double click the launcher, no matter if I run it as admin or not.

Why sould I try to misinform you  We didn't have any problems especially with online edition. We only had some port problems and Forshire solved them(many thanks again). 

 

Besides you can try to launch the game via original BFME icon not Elvenstar icon. I do so and Elvenstar mod launches. It may help you.

The annoying thing with Elvenstar launcher was that to run vanilla you had to run it through the Elvenstar launcher and because of that it made other mods unable to run without manually moving the Elvenstar files out of the game folder, which is why I chose to work my mod launcher the way I did.

Funny enough its the same for Edain mod isn't it?

[murderer33]

I'm not a mod maker I have no idea about other mods as I wrote before. I am a simple Elvenstar player (we like it:)) and I just wanted to know anyone playing the mod for some more enjoyable games because we are just 3. That's it. I am not trying to laud elvenstar mod. I also dont know advantages or disadvantages, whether it is better or worse. We simply play it online nothing more

Tell me why I should try to misinform you... it does not work for me because whenever I try to install it, it will show an error message. Just because both of us use Win 7 doesn't mean it will work the same for our computers. And I'm not using the Online edition. I can start BFME the normal way, I just can't see a reason for that. I can't even install EM, so I can't select "EM" when I launch the normal BFME as well. If anyone can tell me how to fix the problem with EM, go ahead I'll be thankful. Might be some sort of 64bit problem...

Yep, Edain works the same, and I agree, with a server the -mod command is superior.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

The way the Edain mod and Elvenstar set up their mods is the worst thing the Germans have ever done.

[Mathijs]

Oh geez. He went there.

[Bashkuga]

I can imagine one thing the Germans did worse than that, and that's the grammar they made, just too hard to handle.

(Oh I forgot ww2)

Did you really just compare German civilians playing BFME to the Nazi party? Dafuq is that. Probably one of the most offensive posts I've seen in a long time.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Seriously it's a joke get over it.

[Bashkuga]

Why is that offensive?

We're not even comparing...

I think I've been misunderstood. I told u many times that I just wanna find some players not enemies. let me repeat "Is there anybody playing Elvenstar 5.8? No need to Nazis coz I'm a Turk
