Field of Glory II: TT Mod not recognized

[Paul59]

That is it! I think we have solved it! I can do it now, I believe.

I mistakenly put the TT_Mod_MPV1.5.3 into the following folder:

Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2\MULTIPLAYER

When I instead should have put the TT_Mod_MPV1.5.3 in this folder:

Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2\CAMPAIGNS

Possible Error for TT_MOD_MPV1.5.3 Instructions small.jpgTT Mod Multiplayer available small.jpg

The original instructions are absolutely correct! Hundreds of people have installed the TT MP Mod in the Multiplayer folder, that is the correct destination for MP Mods. If you put the TT MP Mod in the CAMPAIGNS folder it will possibly function correctly as a SP module, but you will not be able to play MP with it!

As I said before, your download of the TT MP Mod is probably corrupted, just delete it and download again.

I followed the original instructions and couldn't see the Multiplayer option, so as an experiment, I put it in the wrong place, the CAMPAIGNS folder. Then I could see it, however it is in the wrong place.

I have downloaded those files 3 times now. Here are the sha256sums for the files I have before I unpack them and paste the folders into their needed locations:

If your SP and Campaigns versions of the TT Mod are working fine, there is no need to download them again.

Your problem is with the multiplayer version of the TT Mod (TT_Mod_MPV1.5.3). All three versions of the mod are identical apart from some slight differences in the CAMPAIGN.TXT and TEXT1.txt files.

From previous experience, I believe it is highly likely that your download of the TT_Mod_MPV1.5.3 was corrupted. Other users have had the same problem, and it was fixed by downloading the file again.

You had the TT_Mod_MPV1.5.3 folder correctly installed when you had it in the MULTIPLAYER folder. Just delete the TT_Mod_MPV1.5.3 folder, download it again, and put it in the MULTIPLAYER folder.

Then see if you can accept any TT Mod challenges.

I am afraid I know nothing about shasum.

In the next post I will explain, as clearly as I can, how you create an MP challenge with the TT Mod, as you seem to be unsure of that.

Also, you need to check the possibility pointed out by Pip, that it may be your opponent who has the Mod in the wrong location. (i.e. in his main build, instead of in /Documents/My Games/FieldOfGlory2/MULTIPLAYER where it should be)

Paul59, Success at last!

I have managed to do it. I shall try to create a gif of the entire process.

The problem was, in multi-player, I needed to click that little box in order to see the TT_Mod multi-player option.

Thank you everybody for bearing with me!

Just in case any one else finds this useful, here is the process for creating an MP challenge with the TT Mod.

Firstly, this is where the TT_Mod_MPV1.5.3 goes:



Start Field of Glory 2, and click on "MULTIPLAYER":



When your LOGIN details come up press "Proceed", the MULTIPLAYER LOBBY then appears.

Click on the "MY CHALLENGES" tab:



Then click on "NEW CHALLENGE":



Then click on "CREATE SKIRMISH":



Then click on "Select another module"



Select the TT Mod Multiplayer 1.5.3, and click "Launch":



Then select the armies, allies and other parameters in the usual way, then click on "CREATE"

This then takes you to the CREATE A CHALLENGE screen, where you can select a Paired Match if you wish. Make any comments or apply a password. Then click on "CREATE":



I am glad that you have got it working now.


cheers

Paul, the "Select the TT Mod Multiplayer 1.5.3, and click Launch" screenshot is the wrong one.

You are quite right, I have corrected it now. I must have got my imgur links muddled up, very easy when you are trying to deal with the wife's nonsense at the same time!
