Hey, 

I have a question regarding compatibility between the Return of Shadow mid and T3A:Online. On the T3A:Online site, it is said that it works with any mod, provided they use the same game version, which is 1.05. However, Return of Shadow is, afaik, based on 1.03. Do the two work together anyways? If yes, how do I set it up?

1. install 1.03, install RoS, install T3A:O

2. install 1.03, install RoS, install 1.05, install T3A:O

3. install 1.03, install 1.05, install RoS, install T3A:O

or how else?

 

And if it doesn't work together, I would like to suggest making it do so. As this mod grows larger and larger, it will probably get harder to add this functionality later, and it would be unfortunate to see the small BfME community forced to split up between playing RoS via tunngle/hamachi/gameranger setups and playing T3A:O.

You misinterpreted the information on the T3A:Online site. It works with any mod/patch/version. However, to play a game using your prefered mod/patch/version, your opponent needs to use the same mod/patch/version. So yes, RoS works fine on the server.

The way mods (typical ones anyways) are installed and run is entirely separate from the installation of T3A:O. So when you have T3A:O installed and working, you only have to install the mod in the My Battle for Middle-earth Files folder, and run the mod using its own separate shortcut. The T3A:O files will still be present and working, so you can go onto the server and play games with other players who are running the exact same mod version.

 

Any time you want to play standard T3A:O, you only need to run the game using the default shortcut, instead of the Mod one for RoS.

 

I hope this makes more sense.

Return of Shadow works with T3A:Online just fine because of the way it's set up, it is also set up to work with 1.05 by essentially moving it aside when playing.

Oh, that's great, thanks for the info!
