Hi i have a question because when i put lotr.str in my ini and then launch the game with that, the game wont read that lotr.str and will open orginal lotr.str why ?

[Juissi]

Is your lotr.str at the right place ? It should be at data folder when using -mod command.

[SarumantheWhite]

hmm but when i use mod command it doesnt work ;( The game still is orginal not moded ;(

[m@tt]

Where is your mod placed?

[SarumantheWhite]

Well i made a shortcut and type after that in properties -mod C:\em . It is placed on that location C:\em. And it is still orginal.

[m@tt]

Where is the lotr.str file?

C:\em\lotr.str (incorrect)
or
C:\em\data\lotr.str (this is correct)

and your INI's should be in
C:\em\data\ini\

But i have lotr.str in my mod ini. Still dont work ;( The game is orginal not modded why ?

[m@tt]

what do you mean by your "mod ini"?

[SarumantheWhite]

hmm i have lotr.str there where is gamedata commandset etc .. But why it doesnt work with mod command?

[wiz1]

you need to put it in mod/data

[m@tt]

Because you haven't told us how you've set up your mod.

By the sounds of it, you have:

[Folder] em
............[Folder] data
........................[Folder] ini
....................................All your INI files
....................................lotr.str

when it should be:

[Folder] em
............[Folder] data
........................lotr.str
........................[Folder] ini
....................................All your INI files

Move the str file!

-mod bit:
Target:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II\lotrbfme2.exe" -mod "C:\em\"

oh i forgot to say that it is RotWK

oh i forgot to say that it is RotWK

I can't say I've had problems with this one myself.

All I've done is edit the lotr.str file that comes in the LANG file. For ease of use, I have the actual editable LOTR.str in the folder also, but then I simply add it to the finalBIG file of "English" and click "replace" to copy over the current .str in there. Save As (same name) and Bob's your Uncle Fanny's your Aunt

I'll chat with you on Msn if you need more help.

[m@tt]

Then change the file path to the ROTWK exe then It's not hard

[SarumantheWhite]

But i want not to put lotr.str in lang folder but in my mod ini ;( I know that i can replace it. Show me example and i will try to do it
