Warning!

This mod was developed on the english version of MTW2. It is thoroughly tested, highly stable, but targeted primarily for english versions of MTW2. Officially supported platforms for this mod are the English MTW2 1.002.0000 and 1.002.0001 only. The non-english players must delete all 4 sound files in subfolder Bohemia/sounds (these files - audio.idx, audio.dat, events.idx a events.dat - were generated for english language mutation and will cause incompatibility with non-english versions)!!! Then and only then the game will after first start of the mod generate the new respective sound files for your language mutation of MTW2 in this subfolder automatically and everything should be OK also in non-english platforms.


Description and Using Medieval Total War 2: "Mitteleuropa"
----------------------------------------------------------
It is my clone of the original "Bohemia mini-mod" project.

This version has been developed and thoroughly tested on the MTW2 1.2 platform (quite exactly on the MTW2 English version patched with "leaked" pre-1.2 patch.

This mod is not in any case save-game-friendly. Archive your game before usage of this mod to be sure you dont lost any information. You need to back up the MUsic.idx and Music.dat files from Data/sounds folder mainly !!!

As for a more detailed information on the changes compared to the original vanilla see the respective sections in included "Credits".

Special Credits for special installation features:
--------------------------------------------------
I am grateful to Shellshock for his great MedBattleSelector program and his kind permission to use it for my way to introduce the "small" (i.e. as for the number of modified files) changes in data packs. The TWGrep part of this program is able to avoid the ineffective usage of the --file_first option originally implemented for these purposes by CA.

My thanks to all those involved in every possible means with the development and progression of the mod.
The credit section will be updated with further areas that are completed in due course.
If you feel I have missed you out of the credit section, or a certain section is inaccurate, please PM me to let me know which area(s) you felt you contributed towards.

----------------------------------------------
Installation Instructions:
----------------------------------------------
1. Copy the Music.idx and Music.dat files from folder <root folder of your MTW2>/Data/sounds to some physically safe part of your harddisc or still better on the DVD or flash memory.
2. Then (AND ONLY THEN) start the Setup.exe next to the MSI installation package and install the new files to the root folder of you MTW2 game (i.e. to the ROOT FOLDER, NOT TO THE DATA FOLDER !!!). You need circa 500 MB of additional free space.
3. After this phase of copying the new files to the game folder you must cope with the inflexible mod installation process.
To achieve this aim you can decide to go in several alternative ways - it depends on your own preferences and previous experiences.

I prefer personally this way:
3a. Start he MedBattleSelector.exe and the archiving the data_0.pack and data_1.pack files will start. The back-up has almost 1.5 GB, so you need this free space on the HDD partition, where you have the game installed - but this is only for archiving purposes.
After you will see in the log window of the MedBattleSelector that the data_0.pack and data_1.pack files are back-uped and sucessfully patched, you can exit the MedBattleSelector. You dont need to do anything else with MedBattleSelector.
Then you can start the game and everything should be installed already and fully functional. To be sure try to play some Custom battle at first to see the difference and eventual error in installation of this mod.
If you will want to uninstall this software, simply open the MedBattleSelector again and push the button Undo. By this way, the patched data_0.pack and and data_1.pack files are erased and the original ones previously back-uped are fully used again. The next step is to change the Music.idx and Music.dat files. If you would like to erase the whole mod permanently you would finish the Uninstllation proces in normal way in Add/Remove Programs Windows routine.

You can use the included Bohemia.bat or alternativelly Mitteleropa_v1.exe files for starting game, or create your own shortcut according to the example one included next to this Readme file.

3b. You may want to use the new files in Root Data folder via "file_first" option in Bohemia.cfg file or via -mod mymod switch or ShellShocks MedManager - it is all possible and should be fully functional, but I personally prefer the "hexediting" of the data pack because of the theoretically best performance .... Feel free to install it in your preferred way ...

It appears all this as a rocket-science (and frankly, it is a rocket-science on the first sight), but after the first successful start of the Mitteleropa mod is all very simple already. Dont afraid of this first complicated steps. Use
your common sense and dont afraid to do some experiments with cfg files and shortcuts to go with the best way for you.
The background for this nightmare is a simple fact, that guys from the CA have not fixed the crippled pathfinding for some types of modded files in respective mod-folder (mainly the music files). In patch 1.2, the new textures can be used in the correct way by mere copying them to the respective subfolders in mod-folder, so we could praise CA and maybe all will be fixed in the next patch.

The 1.0 version of this original project is not an open source, it is a freeware - you can use freely all files included as you want for your personal use only, any other than official releasing in public of this mod or any part of it, which is originally developed by me or respective other authors (and it doesnt matter if further modified or unmodified) is possible only after a written permission.

항산 느끼는 거지만 어떻게 적용하는건지좀 알려주세요 저같이 처음 해보는 사람한테는 답답하다 못해 짜증까지 납니다.

[gigasmash]

인스톨 형식으로 된건, 미디 폴더에 설치하시고 안에 뱃파일로 실행 시키면 되구요. 데이타 파일 안에 넣는 파일만 있음 오리지널에 넣으시고, 바탕 화면 바로 가기에. 속성을 고쳐주시면 되는데.. 질문 게시판에 제가 한 질문 검색해 보세요.

아주 재밌게 하는데 하나 결점이 있군요. 성벽위에서 궁수들이 화살을 안쏘거나 몇몇만 화살을 날리네요 ;;;;;
