shall i put in the front of the folder appdata, and also in my rise of the witch king files?

[Ridder Geel]

No only in your ROTWK files

[eskrogh]

okay i shall put the big file in my rotwk files, in appdata yes? and i should change the shortcut for the launcher? to what files best for my comp... any advice on how i do that? is it enough coping the shortcut, or start with files, that already is on my desktop rotwk shortcut?

[TheWickedOne]

add the end of your shorcut, there should be something like this:

-mod NameOfFile.BIG

since you are using the Big file then it should look something like it. Just put the name of your BIG file like it is on the shortcut. By the way. there is a space between the regular target and the -mod command.

what you said is already there

here is a picture of the file info..

my problem at the moment is that the path/where the program will start files from doesnt work.. i should change it

"You need to edit the shortcut to make the directory of ROTWK be the correct one for your pc"
something ridder geel sent to me in a pm with the big file, hope its okay i share the quote..?
my last (hopefully) question, is if any of you got a better idea than my own how to get the path...

Well if you did like Geel said, then it should be fine. Make sure it's not on your "Program Files" of RotWK but in your "Application Data" files for RotWK.

It should be something like this:

C:/Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/My The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king Files/

[eskrogh]

so ill talk further with you guys tomorrow

The shortcut needs to go to where you have your ROTWK installed, mine is in D:\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\
So you just need to change that to where it is installed on your computer

And yes as The wicked one said, The big file should be in:
C:/Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/My The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king Files/

[eskrogh]

this is the destination: "C:\Users\Espen\AppData\Roaming\My The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king Files"


this is the start in..
"C:\Users\Espen\AppData\Roaming\My The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king Files

if i change the start in to this the exact same errror message pops up
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king"

the big file is in: the picture

OK, 2nd approach, put the big file in C:\
And where it says -mod in the shortcut you must change it to this:
-Mod "C:\MyHeroMiniMod.big"
This should work, so the shortcut should look like this:
Target:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod "C:\MyHeroMiniMod.big"
Start in:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king"

[TheWickedOne]

It should not be too hard. Do what Geel said.

[eskrogh]

i would like to guess that where i shall put the big file is in C:\ in elecktronic arts.. and in lotr folder right?..?

and if thats so... it still doesent work...

i know, it just sounds easy, but nomatter what i do the game crashes, or i open somekinda folder

[Ridder Geel]

Just put it in the C:\ for now as i said in the last post

[eskrogh]

okay done... just asking but should that make me play the game

[Ridder Geel]

Well now you should be able to edit the CAH things that are in that BIG file and see if it works ingame

[eskrogh]

Well now you should be able to edit the CAH things that are in that BIG file and see if it works ingame

hmm, i would hope so, but my first job should (frustraiting enough?) be, to be able to launch the game...

[Ridder Geel]

So its still not working?

A lil 'recheck':
Did you put the BIG file in C:\?
----Shortcut-----
Did you make the Target:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod "C:\MyHeroMiniMod.big"
Did you make the Start in:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king"

[eskrogh]

[Ridder Geel]

The game runs normally and the 'mod' does not?
Strange....

[eskrogh]

yup game works, mod doesnt... hmm is there any way to replace the INI in the normal folder... so the game could work as normal just with the changes i wanna make...
