mikheil: This installer is an older version (compared to NAT) but it normally removes things it knows about cleanly. You can check the following:
Data folder:
The installer renames some original xml files to have the .jpm extension. If any of these files exist in the Data folder, the uninstall process may have failed. If they are no longer there, then the uninstall process worked. Also try deleting any homecity?.xml.xmb files, the civs.xml.xmb file and the tactics sub folder. Also delete the abilities.xml.xmb file from the abilities sub folder.
Art folder:
The mod will have added some files to the Art folder and they should have been removed. Check to make sure you only have *.bar files and two possible sub folders: patch and ui. Anything else can be deleted.
Sound folder:
delete all *.xmb files in this folder, leaving only *.bar files and a number of sub folders.
Statup folder:
Again, old files here will have been renamed to use .jpm. If the .jpm files no longer exist, the uninstall was successful.
If these things check out, then I cannot help you and it may have been another mod that caused the problems. You may have to re-install to clean up your game (your data folders will stay in tact). I keep backup copies of all the program folders, so that I can recover from mod installs quickly and easily.

Thanks a bunch JL PEmber. i reinstalled Warhiefs and it works fine online and with single play. The only aftermath of that botched installation are Ntf2.tmp Ntf3.tmp Ntf4.tmp Ntf5.tmp files as i go into local Disc C: which i cannot delete. Are those leftovers of that modpack ?

Sorry, nothing to do with the mod. They must have been created by something else. I am surprised you cannot delete them. Try after a reboot. If you still cannot delete them they could be held open a some proceess you have runnning on the PC.[Edited on 05/24/07 @ 09:05 PM]

ImperialLord: That is an interesting question which I am not sure about at the moment. My guess is that, if it is like TWC, there will be some shared files and that will mean this mod would have some impact on TAD.
Even if that is not a problem, I would recommend removing this mod before installing TAD. Then back up the major program sub folders Art, Data, Sound and Startup. After that you can reinstall the mod – knowing that you can recover the situation cleanly.
I cannot promise, but there is the possibility that I may update the mod to be compatible with TAD - assuming it is possible. If I do, I will probably use the NAT Installer which makes a backup copy of your program folders for you.

Hey jlpember
Great mod! I have the mac version (lol) of AOE3 which doesn't seem to like mods very much but I did manage to partially install it at one point. Very good how you've got the ironclads+gattling guns etc in the AOE3 version of the mod.
So like I said I didn't get to play it as of yet but eventually I'll get around to try and put some of the new units in the game.
Good job! |

ceigered: Sorry to disappoint you but you will not be able to use unique TWC features (like the Gatling gun) in the standard game. However, most of the mod features are very similar.
If you email me using jlpember at hotmail dot com, I will send you some manual instructions for installation. You will need something on the Mac equivalent to WinZip, so you can open the self extracting zip.

I don't have TWC; just the vanilla AOE3. Is it still possible for me to play as the US? If so, how do I do it? Other than that, this is a great mod. |

striker1942: The standard version is just the same as TWC, you have to select one of the St.Louis homecities (that are supplied with the mod) to play as the US.[Edited on 06/22/07 @ 01:58 PM]

Well I downloaded the file and installed it. The four homecities showed up in my homecities folder, but I can't build any unique US units, shipments I clicked on never arrive even though they complete, and... I dont think its working correctly. Do you know what the problem is? |
