IRON WRATH RELEASED FOR FREE

[Taunide]

hmmm I copied the IR Folder in the mods folder but somehow it wont work.. I might have forgotten to copy the .mod file alongside.. but here at work I have no PC to obtain it.. so i tried to modify the .mod file from Vadims Mod.. no good.

since i wanted to play very badly, i simply copied all the files in the corrosponding folders (as we had to do prior 1.4) now it crashes

I will check if there is a .mod file on the PC tonight. If there is, I will take it to the company and test again.. or, if anybody has more experience in tampering with .mod files I would be more than happy to receive one via e-mail: e_beyer@gmx.de

so far I have done this:

[Taunide]

and I have no idea if this makes any sense to anybody or what I am doing

The background worked out OK but the maps weren't showing

[Monoman]

Actually since this is an expansion pack, it should have its own .mod file. I'm guessing Iron Wrath.mod or something similar. Also if you are trying to make your own, base it off of the Athena Sword.mod file.

[Taunide]

It had its own .mod file, just sent it over..

more news within the hour

i don't have AS

[Taunide]

Here are the news.. I will not work.. maybe someone wit a little more in-depth knowledge will be able to fix it.

With the PC .mod file IR shows as "not installed". I will post the mod content below.

My first Idea was to put in a line m_bInstalled=true from Vadims Mods and Masiros Mod, but this just turned on the Backgrounds. No additional Maps availible. I have the feeling i was further yesterday..

OK here is the mod file.. help is appreciated

When I compare the original, Athena Sword, and the .mod file you posted, the only difference I see is the installed line you mentioned. Try this. Add the installed line to the .mod file then open your R6Mod.int file in your Raven Shield System folder. Add these lines to the R6Mod.int file,

Code: Select all

[IronWrath]
ModName=Iron Wrath
ModInfo=Coming soon

As a last resort, you could always move the Iron Wrath maps over to your Raven Shield folder. The same way you do third party maps.

[TrueLT]

Isn't everything compiled for v1.60 and not compatible with the Mac 1.56 version?

[Taunide]

OK Thats it.. I give up.. I suppose TrueLT is right that it has to be compiled differently.

Neither changing the R6mod.int nor copying the Maps to the Folders did any good.

I am running out of Ideas here (haven't had too many to start with).. so do we bury this thing or do we keep trying??

It is a shame, cause it has REALLY nice Maps..

If this weren't blasphemy I'd say go to a friends PC and check it out


Thanks for help so far

[TrueLT]

You could always ask nicely for someone with a PC version of Iron Wrath to recompile it and give it to you...

[Taunide]

Since I posses a pc AND the version the only thing I need is the knowledge how to recompile.

Or i need to know someone with the appropriate knowledge in closer vicinity.

I lack both of it

[AbraCadavre]

Would anyone be willing to grab the installed Iron Wrath files froma PC and zip or xsit them up for download like the other maps/mods out here?

Man, that would be more awesome than if Aspyr had remembered to include a windowed mode... why the hell would they leave that out?

Back to the point, please help those of us who have no PC gamer friends!

Thanks!

[Taunide]

Even If I would do this, it wouldn't work.. read the last 10 Postings..

[Monoman]

Another thing is the expansion would not work on GameRanger. Since GameRanger does not allow you to activate mods for Raven Shield there would be no way to host with this on GameRanger. This is the same problem with the VW mod.

Um they didnt. Hold down shift as the game is launching.

Messing around with the .mod files wont get you anywhere the packages are compiled for a newer build of RVS. Even if you try to recompile or change the version numbers it wont run untill were updated to 412 and thats if aspyr decide to update us at all or include the IW support specific changes.

If you want to try and force it to load use the -mod=IronWrath extension in the terminal but it will just crash out on the first package it tries to read.

Also you can do this.

All gameranger does is establishes the connection so:

Start a game om GR.
When presented with the set up screen skip back to the main menu.
Activate the mod in the options/custom game screen.
Go to mulitplayer / create and carry on as usual.
