Thoughts, opinions, pros, cons, etc on both mods? I recently recovered my copies of all the games and want to add some beautiful mods. I'd love to hear opinions from players and devs alike. level 1 Honestly, just try them both. You’ll enjoy discovering both because they’re both very good mods and you’ll be able to forge yourself a bias free opinion. level 2 Can you use both mods interchangeably? Usually you can't. level 1 They both have their own pros and cons, in general the "biggest" difference is that AotR uses the BFME II build style (some fortress maps use the BFME I system for the defender) and Edain uses the BFME I build plot system. level 2 After some research, that's what I've noticed, plus some differences in faction details. level 1 I personally like Edain's philosophy as where they want to go as a mod more, but you cannot criticize the depth AtoR went to make their mod beautiful and seamless. level 2 Can you explain what you mean? I'm not sure I understand. #1
Posted 12 September 2019 - 08:30 PM Hello, when I was setting up my Rise of the Witch King to have both the Age of the Ring and Edain mods to play online with friends, there were a lot of small issues I was able to solve by searching all over the internet. I see some people have had similar issues to mine from the many forum posts here, so I figured I would share my personal guide for when I set the games up on friends' computers. Hopefully you will find solutions to any of your issues here: ROTWK Firstly we have the ROTWK mod-patch 2.02 v7 installed which makes it so ROTWK does NOT require a CD to be mounted in order to play the game. On top of that, we have The Age of the Ring mod installed, which uses mod-patch 2.02 and as a result
also NOTE: Above two games require the programs to be run AS ADMINISTRATOR. ~~~BUT RUNNING AS ADMIN CAUSES PROBLEMS FOR EDAIN DISC MOUNTING~~~ Edain does not use ROTWK mod-patch 2.02 To use Edain, simply bring up the 2.02 patch switcher, and switch to 2.01. NOTE: Edain requires me to change the 2.02 file "!new202music.big" to Been told everyone uses GameRanger to play Edain online, so that's
what my friends and I use. I have read
that also apparently I can just replace the game.dat file in the install folder while on patch 2.01 with the one If you have comments or questions please share them. Hopefully I can help anyone with trouble. I've got this working on like 5 different computers by now, and we all successfully play online together.

What i did, was I had to install the RotWK twice, i simply copied to program files and put them next to each other renaming the folders Edain and RotWK 2.02 respectively. I install the 2.01 patches on both, then for the Edain to work I had to mount the minidisk from smokey man and install Edain, for the other folder i installed the 2.02 and 2.02v2 patches on the alternate folder, this i imagine would allow the age of the ring mod to be installed aswell, It is a solution that takes up a lot of space but it does allow easy transition between everything with out the fear of breaking the files. #4 Electro226Posted 22 November 2019 - 07:09 PM Hey Zosky99k, I like that solution a lot more, so I actually created a step by step guide on how to do it that way too! AND you don't need to mount any disc images! https://forums.revor...ne-through-t3a/ |
