Nothing said here or in a dozen other threads worked for me. That folder with the "options.ini" file never appeared, even after two installs (once in safe mode). Perhaps I kept creating it with a slight spelling error or something, but anyway - this guy's script worked for me.

It even patches and no-cd cracks at the same time.

Go to C:\Users\<YOUR COMPUTER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle Earth Files

If you can't see the "appdata" folder, you need to make it visible by clicking on Organis then on Folder and search options, switch to the View tab and under Hidden files and folders select Show hidden files, folders and drives.

In that folder (My Battle for Middle Earth files), we need to make an ini file. So open up Notepad and copy and paste all of the following into the document:

Code:

AllHealthBars = yes
AlternateMouseSetup = no
AmbientVolume = 81
AnimationLOD = UltraHigh
AudioLOD = Low
Brightness = 50
DecalLOD = Off
EffectsLOD = UltraHigh
FixedStaticGameLOD = UltraHigh
FlashTutorial = 0
GameSpyIPAddress = 192.168.0.2
HasSeenLogoMovies = yes
HeatEffects = yes
IdealStaticGameLOD = Low
IsThreadedLoad = yes
ModelLOD = UltraHigh
MovieVolume = 70
MusicVolume = 78
Resolution = 1280 960
SFXVolume = 80
ScrollFactor = 29
SendDelay = no
ShaderLOD = UltraHigh
ShadowLOD = UltraHigh
StaticGameLOD = UltraHigh
TerrainLOD = High
TextureQualityLOD = High
TimesInGame = 64
UnitDecals = yes
UseEAX3 = no
VoiceVolume = 69
WaterLOD = UltraHigh

Save it into that folder (My Battle for Middle Earth files) and call it Options.ini, exit, and now BFME#1 should be working fine.

I'm going to assume your BFME2 problem is that same as that so do the same for BFME2:

Open notepad and copy and paste all this:

Code:

AllHealthBars = no
AmbientVolume = 50.000000
AnimationLOD = UltraHigh
AudioLOD = High
Brightness = 50
DecalLOD = High
EffectsLOD = UltraHigh
FlashTutorial = 0
GameSpyIPAddress = 5.174.97.47
HasSeenLogoMovies = yes
IdealStaticGameLOD = VeryLow
ModelLOD = UltraHigh
MovieVolume = 70.000000
MusicVolume = 70.000000
Resolution = 1280 960
SFXVolume = 70.000000
ScrollFactor = 50
SendDelay = no
ShaderLOD = UltraHigh
ShadowLOD = UltraHigh
StaticGameLOD = Custom
TerrainLOD = High
TextureQualityLOD = High
TimesInGame = 48
UseEAX3 = no
VoiceVolume = 70.000000
WaterLOD = UltraHigh

Save it as Options.ini inside C:\Users\<YOUR COMPUTER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle Earth(tm) II Files

This should fix your problem. If it doesn't, let me know.

Are you sure you set the hidden folders to be shown (from the Organize menu)? If you are in AppData\Roaming and don't see the BFME folder, then create a folder called My Battle for Middle Earth Files and put the options code in there. Though it should already be there after you install the game.

oh and also Tokyo Blades, do you know where to save Mods if you mod BFME 1?!?! Im trying to get the Elven Alliance Mod and idk where to put the file when I save it to the game...... And one more thing thanks

I tried saving it in the My Battle For Middle Earth files and I just dont know where to put it. and the Helms Deep map I downloaded from filefront.com and its for Skirmish I believe! But Thank you so much for all your help I really appreciate it

get back with me asap!

Battle for Middle Earth 1 + 2 cannot be played online anymore because EA shut down the servers.

Elven Alliance Mod should have an installer so you shouldn't have to put it anywhere yourself. But if you're manually installing the mod, the instructions are here: http://elven.the3rdage.net/TEACE/TEA...llation1.2.rtf

Here is a thread explaining how to install maps: http://middleearthcenter.com/forums/...ad.php?t=17190

Hey but um since I have windows 7 how do I do the map files? Im not that good with computers think you could do a step by step thing for me? how do I get to the C drive on windows 7 and whats this mean? "Create new map with the exact same name as the map name itself, and place the .map in"
----- Automerged post -----
Oh and plus when I download the maps they dont show up on the game...... am I saving the maps in the correct place?? im saving it where they tell me to put them.

TokyoBlade · TokyoBlade

You need to put them in C:\Users\<YOUR COMPUTER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle Earth(tm) II Files\Maps

He means folder with the same name as the map. So, if the map is called mapname you need to create a folder called mapname and then put the map inside it.

idk if im doing this right, I made the folder for the helms deep map and it still wont show up in Skirmish mode.... Why? Im really confused:/ but good news is I got the mods working

but I need help still with downloading maps, they are a pain!:/

TokyoBlade · TokyoBlade

Are you sure you've got the right name for the folder? For example, if the map name is helmsdeep then it needs to go in the folder Maps\helmsdeep\. If you're sure you have them all in the right folders then I don't know why it won't work, sorry.

I haven't tried LOTR Conquest so I can't tell you from experience, but apparently it does work on Windows 7. I know BFME2 does work on Windows 7 because I have it on and it works.
