V1.62 of TROM is now available here:

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=259213

This is a quick compatibility patch to get TROM working again with CA patch 1.5 - NOT FULLY TESTED with the WARPATH CAMPAIGN.

Johan managed to get the first instalment of the Ottoman upgrade included in 1.6:



I recommend the following script (or ModManager):



All of the packs come from trom_core_part_1 or trom_core_part_2 except for trom_media.pack which needs to be downloaded separately (The Rights of Man Optional Media Pack - highly recommended, has period start screens + music)

Pricing still no good for MP at this stage and that is my fault, working on it though, the next update should include sensible pricing.

Oh, almost forgot: The changelog

v1.60 Ottoman Makeover Edition

=== Because of the changes in ETW v1.4 patch and in the current TROM update, you MUST start a new campaign after installing TROM v1.60. ====

* Made compatible with ETW v1.4 patch
* Revised Ottoman unit roster
* Adjusted some of the AOR regions (mainly in Balkans area)
* Adjusted unit size of starting units to correspond to actual unit size
* Changed starting units, characters and buildings of Georgia faction to a more Eastern look
* Fixed some inconsistencies in unit campaign map movement
* Bugfix: 24lb Foot Guard Artillery and 18lb Horse Guard Artillery now correctly recruitable by France
* Bugfix: Galleon type ships were missing guns on one side
* Added localisation text for more units from Yarkis' Unit Variety mod
* Temporarily removed Tiyafeh's cavalry and officer animations and the Spontoon mod to ensure compatibility. They will be added back at a later date.
* Updated Blood and Smoke Mod (Light) for compatibility

Special thanks to Yarkis, moopere and Pdguru for their help

KNOWN ISSUES:
- Ottoman Infantry are listed as "Irregulars", even though in reality they were of course regular infantry; this is for internal game mechanics only.
- Ottoman starting unit colour on unit cards is still green, newly recruited units will be correct red
- Spontoon mod and some of Tiyafeh's animations have been removed temporarily to ensure compatibility. They will be added at a later date.
- We are currently using vanilla Campaign AI/diplomacy. Changes will be made, where necessary, in later versions.

Ornamentum high quality skin pack now available for TROM:

Note: 6/10/09 I made mistake earlier today and said TROM Ornamentum doesn't work. In fact it does, but I was having PC problems. So, please use TROM Ornamentum with TROM 1.62 + CA Patch 1.5, its worth it



Use the pack with ModManager (put Ornamentum at the very top) or use the following script file:

TROM 1.61, quick bugfix patch, has been released. Of note is Lordz maps compatability (most recent Lordz Maps)

* Kaylon can now be used for trading; Ottoman Man-of-War buildable from the start

Regards, Moopere

PS - Almost forgot, if you want to use the Lordz maps with TROM you don't need and shouldn't use the Lordz .loc file (called EmpireTacWar_loc_210909.rar)

I don't know how you find time to keep up with all this stuff Moopere.

All Mooperes hard work had paid of at last
I had downloaded and run Trom with no problems including all the extras, music, media etc.

With me still feeling rough i hadn't started a campaign but was planning on it, anyway the latest ETW patch has killed it.
These Modders must be pulling there hair out

Arg ... another patch last night? I was only playing TROM just before I went to bed.

Yikes!

Moopere.

Righto, the patch 1.5 from CA has for the first time included new maps (yay!!!) - however, this inclusion has broken all third party .loc files which causes the game to CTD when you try to start it (boo!). Should be a relatively straightforward fix for the various mod authors. I'll report back here when things are running again.

Regards, M.

Johan of the TROM team has put out a compatibility patch for TROM 1.6x - see the top post for link details. Everything should work as normal with the new 1.62 files. Note that he doesn't guarantee anything with the Warpath campaign, but then I don't think TROM has been tested in the RTI campaigns either - grand campaigns should be fine.

Regards, Moopere

PS - Don't forget, as always, best to do a 'verify game cache' whenever a new CA patch appears. Fixes lots of evils

Three cheers for the man who champions Trom here at the NWG

Thanks Moo, its time for me to have another look at a Trom campaign

This thread is getting messy - next TROM update I'll start a new topic with a better structure. Anyone having problems understanding my rambling here just PM me or leave a note here and I'll try to help.

Moo

Maybe TROM might need it's own forum soon, if it becomes the mod of choice after Tac War died !.

Sure. Lets see how we go over the next little bit though. Should ensure we play enough games in its current format to make a value judgement on its suitability given the type of game we all prefer to play.

Moo.
