If you did not change the directory the directory would/should be:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth II - RC Mod"

Do NOT install the RC Mod in the normal BFME 2 folder, this will mess up the game, both the original and the mod
Did you remove/hide your real CD/DVD drive?
If you have msn or if you join hamachi this can be fixed/helped in alot less posts and time

[morsematten]

would be fine if i add ridder geel on msn? i live in singapore, timezone +8

[Ridder Geel]

If you tell me your msn i could add you if you want
Because i dont think you know my msn? (i dont feel like giving it out to the 'public' who knows who might be looking here )

[Ridder Geel]

DID you copy the game2.dat from your BFME 2 installation directory? (most likely reason as to why the game does not start at all)

[Lurtzy]

Good to hear it is working

About your question, you have to play on an RC map if your ally and/or enemy is a custom faction (Beasts, Rohan, Ridder Clan)

[Ridder Geel]

No problem

About the non working thing with the AI we will try to make them work on all maps ASAP, but for that we first need Vandas ready, because he is sure to have AI compatibility

How can I burn the mds(or mdf the 5 kb one) onto a cd using roxio or sonic record now? I think that only roxio works but if you can also get sonic record now that would be good.

[Ridder Geel]

You do not need to burn it, you can mount it using deamon tools as said in the "install instructions", you can also just use the ROTWK CD if you have it

[drogoth232]

Got it but I am not sure how to mount it.

[Ridder Geel]

So you downloaded Daemon tools?
...I do believe the instructions are fairly clear
Ok well here goes...
You installed the english Daemon tools?
Right click on the "lightning" icon in your 'taskbar'
then go to virtual CD/DVD-ROM
Then enable 1 drive and mount it by pressing on the first drive thing
Also make sure to hide the real drive, though the instructions tell you how

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

Ok all I did was since the virtual thing was already there press the mount button, chose the RC one (the 4-5 kb one) and closed it. It still didnt work. Did I do something wrong? I disabled my dvd and my cd drives.

[Ridder Geel]

Did you run the EXE? The CD itself does not auto run
You had to mount the mds file (that is the 4-5 kb file)

...did you close the virtual mounting thing? (as in close/shut it down)
You have to press open too After mounting it you should be able to see it in the list of 'mounted' things.

[drogoth232]

The EXE is in the RC mod file in electrionic arts right?
Close shut down is perssing X and clicking yes, right?
Why do I press open, when I mount it I press RC mod the 4 kb and press open. It automatically goes onto it.

(the smiley is getting addicting)

[Ridder Geel]

Do you mount it using daemon tools?
If yes did you enable all the "Advanced" things in Preferences ?

Oh and DOES it say "Insert CD" or something like that?!

Edited by Ridder Geel, 02 April 2009 - 08:20 PM.

[drogoth232]

Yes
Never saw advanced things but will check it
And yes

[Ridder Geel]

Right click on the icon from daemon tools and go to preferences->Advanced Check all options
