K, I just downloaded the latest version from MEV (I'm not sure if this is the latest version, but it was updated in September or something, so I think it's right) and when I started playing, the strings for the names of the Campaign mode, factions--everything new!--don't work, and I can't see any new maps in the list. I have a LOT of user-made maps, but I checked every single playable one for the maps that are supposed to be BFME1.5 (that's my new name for these features) compatible.

Here is EXACTLY what I did:

NOTE: I used WinRAR
NOTE: I don't use my real username here for privacy reasons

1. Download RJ_RotWK.rar from MEV
2. Extract shortcut to Desktop (I run XP, so it should work properly)
3. Extract RJ_RotWK.big to C:\Documents and Settings\<MY USERNAME>\Application Data\My Lord of the Rings, the Rise of the Witch-king Files\
4. Download English.rar for the strings
5. Extract English.big to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, the Rise of the Witch-king\lang (rename original one English.bak)
6. Extract all txt files to a folder I made on my desktop called BFME Files, under Mods\ROTWK\RJ ROTWK
7. <SKIP AUDIO-VISUAL PROCEDURES CAUSE I DIDNT DO THEM>
8. Double-check shortcut, install directories, etc.
9. Run the Shortcut...
10. Smash my head against a wall when it doesn't work

Also, the campaign has fixed features, right? Well, mine would only let me play as Isengard, and I started with absolutely nothing except a few territories. Men (Player 2) started with the fellowship and a little army of Faramir and Ithilien Rangers, and noone else got anything. Because the STR file wouldn't let me see the description of the campaign in the WotR set-up menu, I couldn't see if there was anything I missed that I had to do to get the campaign working.

...Or is this the way the campaign is supposed to work? Anyway, any help is appreciated! I'm dying to play this! Help ASAP! K THX BAI!

first of all, is bfme1.5 rotwk? cause if its not, thats ur problem.
ok, i havnt used this old way 4 a long tim (bc im on the beta team), but i wuld suggest tryin 2 download it frum her, it wuld probably b a newer version anyways. ok, wen i did it, i dont remember ever renaming the old 1, i jsut moved it out; try that.

if u get the mod frum these beta forums, u can prolly get 1.05.02 which has a much easier install. so try that if u wanna.

Have you installed the ENGLISH version of RotWK?

to play the campaign correctly, you must be gondor. the only thing i can think of right now is that your rotwk isn't patched, but i dont think thats the case....
