Mar 26, 2018 - Rome Total War Descr_Strat Original File. Do you find the Descr.Strat (or Whatever) Files to make maps and Videos. Mod and its backup.

For those interested, I use to play/mod this game when it first came out. I have taken a 6 year break from it but decided to come back to it, hopefully to mod it again. So I thought I would put here all the information I have gathered to help people set thier steam version of M2TW up for mods and modding.
I have been able to get all mods working with no problems using windows 10. Hopefully this post helps a few people. The following assumes you have a clean install with no mods messing up the folder structures. You will want to unpack the game files for modding: - To do this you need to copy (from the medieval 2 root folder) msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll to the tools unpacker folder.
Then run unpack_all.bat from with the unpacker folder, and click yes to each question. For some reason you have to copy these files into the unpacker folder, which was not necessary on the original install. If you find the expansions do not unpack, simply run the individual bat file that corresponds to that specific expansion (americas, british_isles, crusades, teutonic). You will know they have unpacked correctly when you open the data folder of either the main game or any of the expansion pack folders (inside the mod folder) and see a heap of new files/folders. The process can take a while depending on your system specs. For those unaware, the files unpacked are all the text, xml, images, and movies. Which can be edited for modding.
You will need a lot of extra space to unpack all the files. My Medieval 2 installation folder after unpacking was 31.3GB in size! Driver toshiba l740 windows 10. This doesn't include adding any new mods. - You then need to delete the following two files from the data folder. Descr_geography_new.txt and descr_geography_new.db.
The game will not load otherwise. Now your Steam M2TW install is ready for modding. If you have any issues up to this point, try starting a game and making a save file, some times initiating the files is necessary on some machines. I am using windows 10 and this works perfectly. Happy modding:).
Please take no offense. You are a little out of date. Steam no longer provides the tools for unpacking.
If you are on Windows 7 or after usng a computer where the OS was factory installed or restored from a factory backup or even upgraded from a factory install you have to preset cmd.exe to run in administrator mode or it will unpack, but not actually write the files. You not longer have to unpack to run mods.
And, I think since the gamespy removal patch with the Steam version, after you do find an unpacking tool and unpack, you not longer have to delete any files. Lastly, you must use Steam launch options and only fully foldered mods to be placed in the mods folder independently or you risk breaking your game to the point you must uninstall, leave sitting without reinstalling for 30 days before you can reinstall with it working. No offense taken.
However the tools to unpack were provided by steam (i downloaded the game yesterday). But without the files unpacked one can't mod the files. I am running mods from a batch file, which is how most mods were run. No need to run from the steam launch options.
