===================

+++++Installing the RC MOD+++++
Steps for Installation:
1-Download and Run the RCModInstaller.exe
--This Installer will install the basics for the RC Mod game.
2-When asked for a serial enter the SAME serial as the one you used when installing BFME 2
--If you do not know what that serial is then do step B1
3-After completing the RC Mod "main" install you must locate your Game2.dat as requested at the end of the install
--Game2.dat is located in your "BFME2InstallDirectory"\game2.dat (example:D:\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II)
--Copy Game2.dat and paste it into the RC Mod's game directory (default is:C:\Program FilesThe Battle for Middle-earth II - RC Mod)
4-Now download the LATEST RC Mod updater from http://www.moddb.com/mods/rc-mod
5-After downloading the Updater run it and the updater will complete the installation.
6-Now download the LATEST RC Mod INTERFACE updater from http://www.moddb.com/mods/rc-mod
--If you have done all of this correctly the mod should run on your pc now.

+++++Playing the RC MOD+++++
Steps for Playing SINGLEPLAYER:
1-Run RCMod - Singleplayer.exe

Steps for Playing MULTIPLAYER:
1-Instert your The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king (ROTWK) cd into your cd drive and run the game~No need to do any more steps!
--Alternative for people who do not own ROTWK you must download the RC Mod CD!
--http://rcmod.the3rdage.net/Downloads/LotrBfMe2RCMod.rar
2-Extract the files out of the LotrBfMe2RCMod.rar (3.2 +/- GB!)
3-Mount or Burn the "CD" to a cd/dvd.
---Mount it with DEAMON TOOLS or another mounting program http://www.daemon-tools.cc/home
--DEAMON TOOLS is an easy tool to work with and should not be too hard to understand, but if you have problems you can always ask in our forums!
4-After mounting the CD you must Hide the real CD Drive - There may be some programs for this, you can also do this manually -B2 is manual hiding
5-Run RCMod - Multiplayer.exe

--B--SPECIAL-CASES-USUALLY-NOT-NEEDED----
B1-run regedit (Windowsxp) Start->Run->open:regedit
---Search through the registry files for My Battle for Middle-earth™ II Files
---when its found then you should look in the ergc folder and there you should find the value which is your code!

B2-Go to My Computer
---Select the CD Drive
---Right click and press on Properties
---Press on the "Hardware" tab
---Select the name of your CD Drive
---Press Properties
---Change Device usage to: Do Not use this device (disable)
~~~Whenever you want to use the real cd drive again do not forget to change the Device usage back to (Enable)
---Press OK and close the other properties window by pressing OK again

If you have any problems installing the Mod you can always ask for help here!

Yes... Either download the RC Mod CD and mount it via daemon tools... OR JUST run the SINGLEPLAYER version :p (via the installed location) :p

Ok I got the mod to run (Single player this time ;) ) but now the movie plays (the one with the rohan castle in the snow) and stops at a certain point (I assume this is when the "single player "multiplayer" etc. buttons are supposed to show up). I copied the game2.dat file into the RC mod directory. I'm probebly making some dumb mistake :p but please help.

Nah... Not your fault... Try restarting or minimizing and maximizing the game, this can fix it... :p If it does not... I would not bother downloading version 1.03 or whatever to try to fix it. I would wait till sunday afternoon ;) :p

Try running the "RC Mod -Singleplayer.exe" It might work :) :)

I've tried to install this mod (version 1.07 - with a clean installation) and everything works well until the second phase of the installation. Then the installer freezes and goes into a non-responsive state. If I close the mod via ending the program manually I get an error message, something NET framework. If I try to close the installer and start the mod from the desktop shortcut I get the same error message. If I try to start the mod up from the single player icon the splash screen comes up but then the game crashes.

So...any ideas? :sleep:

I have had this problem before with the RC-mod but by me it worked when you wait. When it goes to a unresponsive state you must not cancel it. By me it finished after a time. Hope this helps you

You were right about needing to just leave the installer alone, it seems to installed fully.

Unfortunately, the mod's still crashing after the splash screen comes up. Hmmm...

What for error does it give?
Have you patched BFME2 to 1.06

Well, it's not giving an error any more. It just crashes. Well, the splash screen opens and then just closes, but the game doesn't start.

And yes, BfME2 is patched to 1.06.
