Finishing TouchesOnce the installation comes to an end you will be presented with a choice: Choose whatever takes your fancy, you can change this setting at a later stage before starting a campaign by running the ‘Run Setup’ short cut from the Stainless Steels short cut menu. Next you will be presented with this option screen, again choose what you want, you can change it later.
Choosing one of the AI options is mandatory. Once you click 'OK' your choices get implemented which may take a little while depending on the items selected. Steam specific StuffThe installer now displays the message underneath, you can safely ignore the suggestion regarding the non steam game link, the desktop short cut provided by the installer works just fine: The set up installation will now attempt to start the mod, but if you are new to mod installations for Steam and or have never done the copy rename of the executable then you will be presented with this error message: Unfortunately, the launcher does not use www.twcenter.net, it only detects that the kingdoms.exe required to run the disk version is not present.
This can easily be fixed by following my tutorial here: Once you have run that tutorial simply run double click the Stainless Steel desktop shortcut to start the mod, it is however recommended to install 6.4 first. The original installation of Stainless Steel does not provide STRING.BIN files (which the game references) as these are generated automatically at game start from the TXT files in the data text folder.
Unfortunately, the Steam version of the game does not generate these files from the battle, shared, strat and tooltips TXT files. Included in the www.twcenter.net in PDF form is a folder called ‘text’ that contains these missing files and their original TXT counterpart – simply extract the folder into the mods SS6.3 data folder and allow overwriting of existing files. There is an unofficial fix available which does a good job in reducing errors.
It's called Meloo's Bugfix and is www.twcenter.net. Please read the instructions carefully, especially if you apply the patch at a later stage. I made an www.twcenter.net from it which also fixes the text issues (BIN files not generated by Steam). Again, make sure to read the instrucitons in the www.twcenter.net. www.twcenter.net has a www.twcenter.net where you can post queries regarding problems with the mod.
