Problems with AoM

[HerwigRuf]

Sorry, I searched very hard, but I didnt find the solution for the following problem in the FAQs. I installed ctp2 fresh, installed patch1_11, downloaded the file "agesofman_v11" which is 533 Mb large. I did the steps, described in the installation guide. I can start with "MODSWAP", but

if i choose "The Ages of Man V 3000 BC" the game starts to load, then crashes down to desktop and teh following two messages appear:
1.:

c:\Programme\AOM5.5.05\AOM5.5.05\ctp2_data\default \
gamedata\AOM_Special10.slc:327: Symbol AOMTriumphSurr is undefined

2.:

c:\Programme\AOM5.5.05\AOM5.5.05\ctp2_data\default \
gamedata\AOM_Special10.slc:327: Variable 'AOMTriumphSurr' used in assignment has unknown type

if i choose "The Ages of Man V 1.00",
the game gets loaded, i can start a "New game", but when i wanna "launch" the new game, the game doesnt find my cd, which is in the cdrom.

To all human beings with a heart, HELP ME, I know that i will love this game. Iam working to get this game running for 11 hours since 5 o clock in the morning, slowly i get suicidal....

For the CD problem, go to D:\Setup\data\Add\ctp2_program\ctp\ directory on your CTP2 CD (maybe your CD drive has another letter then D) and copy there the file texture.dat to your c:\Programme\AOM5.5.05\AOM5.5.05\ctp2_program\ctp\ folder and confirm overwriting.

Your former problem seems to be a bug in AOM.

Thanks a lot Martin!

So the smaller prob is solved.

Thank you very much, the first moment in the last 12 hours, that had something positive.

When I did the diplomacy update, I ommitted to fully update the later starting files for a new victory issue. My apologies. The full campaign (v1.00) is not affected.

If you email me at ;
stankarp@bigpond.com.au I will send you the two new files required.

My apologies again.
