Empire: Total War takes the Total War franchise to the eighteenth century Age of Enlightenment — a time of political upheaval, military advancements, and radical thought. Add mod Mods (0 - 30 of 46). Thanks for the guide! I've just picked up the total war bundle, your timing is perfect:D. EDIT: I have tried, but I can't get it to work. The game doesn't like having the dme_ pack files in Empire Total War/data/.

• Mods For Total War Empire
• Empire Total War Darthmod

• Download DarthMod v8.0 (2.81GB). Pick the 'Download in 1 File' option. The only mirror that still works is apparently the AusGamers mirror.

• Download the DarthMod v8.0.1 patch (20MB).

Mods For Total War Empire

• $XDG_DATA_HOME may not be set for you. If not, then the used directory should be ~/.local/share/.

• It looks big, but the extra steps (compared to Windows) shouldn't take more than 5-10m.

• Create a dummy E:TW directory:

• Run DarthModEmpirev80Platinuma.exe via wine (wine DarthModEmpirev80Platinuma.exe) and pick the dummy directory we just created when prompted. This will take some time.

• Install the v8.0.1 patch in a similar manner.

• Run the DarthMod launcher:

  Configure it the way you want, then press 'Start'. Ignore any 'File not found' errors. Do not close it yet, even after it's done.

• Open ~/EmpireTW/data/DME/dme_log.txt. Make note of all .pack files present under «User Script Entries:» but not «DME packs in data:», then copy them from ~/EmpireTW/data/DME/Packs/ to ~/EmpireTW/data/.

• Rename all .pack files so that they're in lowercase. ranger's :bulkrename command and vim's guG come in handy here, if you happen to use these programs. Other editors might have something similar. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

• We must now edit $XDG_DATA_HOME/feral-interactive/Empire/AppData/scripts/preferences.empire_script.txt. Note that this file is in ucs-2 by default, so we'll need to convert it to utf-8 before we edit it:

  You need to set write_preferences_at_exit (line 1) to false so that E:TW doesn't overwrite the file every time, and insert a line for every .pack file in ~/EmpireTW/data/ as follows (do so just after line 1):

  Do that for every .pack file. For example, here's what I added:

  Save the file and convert it back:

• Rename ~/EmpireTW/data/campaigns/DME so that it's lowercase as well (dme instead of DME).

I personally prefer the stock E:TW splash screens and intro movie. However, if you want the DarthMod ones, you can do the following:

• Extract the .bik files in dme_media.pack and dme_mediauc.pack using PackFileManager (latest version). I had to choose E:TW's directory as A:TW for it to work. Use Mono to run it:

  You can use wine if you prefer, but Mono runs it out of the box. You'll need to get the necessary dependencies for Wine.

• Re-encode them to WebM using ffmpeg, for example:

  This will take a while. Note that if you just want to see the movies without replacing the defaults in E:TW, you can open the .bik files in your video player (mplayer/mpv/VLC should all be able to play it, for example).

• Copy the converted .webm files to $XDG_DATA_HOME/Steam/SteamApps/common/Empire Total War/data/movies, replacing the originals. Make backups if you want.

Empire Total War Darthmod

• Copy ~/EmpireTW/data/dme_* to $XDG_DATA_HOME/Steam/SteamApps/common/Empire Total War/data/.

• Copy ~/EmpireTW/data/campaigns/ to $XDG_DATA_HOME/Steam/SteamApps/common/Empire Total War/data/campaigns/

• Make the copied files executable:

That's it. You can now close DarthMod Launcher -- you never need to use it unless you want to change some settings.

Unfortunately, that means you'll need to perform some of the above steps again. If you plan to do that often, you might want to copy ~/EmpireTW/data/DME to $XDG_DATA_HOME/Steam/SteamApps/common/Empire Total War/data/DME and run the launcher from there -- it'll make things slightly faster for the future.

Everything seems to work fine for me, though multiplayer was not tested. This procedure should also work for any mod. Enjoy! ❤

Thanks to homerj from #gamingonlinux on irc.freenode.net for doing it first and explaining it, I merely tried his instructions myself then decided to format and post them here.
