I believe the correct versions have been installed in the correct places. Please see the screenshots. It is Windows 10. The game was installed using Steam onto a hard disk that is not the C Drive. The game plays ok ordinarily.

I have tested this on my system and TT Mod challenge works correctly.

Another one for PipFromSlitherine I think. I will ask him to take a look.

In the meantime, can you test whether you can set up the Challenge yourself, and your opponent can accept it?

I had problems creating the challenges too.

I managed to create 2 challenges OK, I believe, though I have since deleted them. I also failed to create most of the challenges needed for the tournament, though I tried. I was able to successfully allocate one of the two army lists, but then, when I tried to add the other army, after selecting it, it reverted the first army back to Pot Luck.

You might have to turn off the Date/Geography filters for some FOG2DL matchups.

uneducated wrote: ↑Sun Jun 02, 2019 7:15 pmThis problem was compounded due to the second "filtering" button being unseen initially. It only comes into existence once one selects something other than "Pot Luck" for the second Army.

The other issue of being unable to accept challenges still remains.

pipfromslitherine wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 3:26 pm Have you played other custom campaigns in MP before? When you talk about creating challenges, do you mean creating them with the TT_Mod campaign? One potential explanation is that your opponent has (naughtily) placed his version of the TT_Mod into the game-install folder rather than the My Games folder.

Also - moving this to the correct forum.

This might be the problem. I think I might not know how to create a challenge in a custom campaign, though I might be able to create a challenge. I have been trying to create Challenges using the TT_Mod camapaign, which I can play single-player, but I can't create those challenges.

For example, here are some screenshots when I try and create a multi-player Silk Road challenge:

No it is not a clue. The scenarios listed in the "Choose a Battle" window are all epic battles. The TT Mod does not contain any epic battles at the moment, it is purely a Custom battle mod.

To create a challenge for a Custom Battle module, you must click on the button to the right of the Field of Glory II name, a list of all the available modules will then appear, see this:



The name of the module you select will then replace "Field of Glory II" in the display:



Then you can continue to select your armies etc.


To be honest I think your problems with the TT Mod in multiplayer are due to a corrupted download. When the TT Mod 1.5.3 was first released a few players reported exactly the same problem as you, it was always because they had installed the Mod in the wrong folder or a corrupted download. From the screenshots you have provided it seems that you have installed the mod correctly, so I think it must be a bad download. Just delete your current MP TT Mod, and download again from mediafire.

Your SP versions of the TT Mod are probably fine, so don't touch those.

Could you include a shasum with the notes accompanying the download file, so that we can check the file integrity?

What about the multiplayer version? TT Mod Multiplayer 1.5.3.

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

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.
