Creating a World - Mod Install for Steam

One day I got tired trying to explain how mods are installed with Steam and then Squid came along with his Kingdoms Launcher App. A short time later musicdemon applied the tool to Third Age and wrote an instruction on how to do the stuff hands on.
And then I came and generalized that instruction. So without further ado I give you the "Mod Install for Steam" tutorial:

All credit (and rep) goes to:

- musicdemon for first publishing this in the Third Age forum
- Squid for making the Kingdoms Launcher App

Step by step instruction

1. Run your game at least once before installing any mods (thanks bohema)
2. Make sure you run this program as administrator
3. Install your brand new mod, but make sure to change your install directory as follows:

32-bit Windows Users:

From - C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War
To - C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\medieval ii total war

64-bit Windows Users:

From - C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War
To - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\medieval ii total war

• Repeat step two for any other parts\patches of this mod
• Download the Kingdoms Launcher App designed by Squid. This tool modifies the necessary registry entries to enable a mod start via Steam's Medieval II\Kingdoms Launcher.
• Run the Kingdoms Launcher App

Step 1:

• Click "File\New mod"

Step 2:

• Enter the reference name of your mod (I am shamelessly using my CoW 1.4.4 - Easy and painfree Installation as example)
• Choose which EXE will be used, medieval2 or kingdoms
• Click on 'Browse'

Step 3:

• Browse to your mod's base folder and click\highlight it
• Click 'OK'

Step 4:

• Your Config file details and Path to the mod will automatically be entered
• Click "OK"

Step 5:

• The name of your mod's entry appears now in the list of the Launcher Application
• Click "File\Exit" or use the close button on the top right of the frame

Step 6:

• Run the Kingdoms Launcher and select your mod from the list
• Play

Note: the above instructions are for version 1.4 of Squid's Kingdoms Launcher Application. Please drop me a PM if this is outdated at any time.

Removing an entry:
Simply open the application, high light the entry and then click 'File\Delete Mod Settings' - this will only remove the installation from the launcher, you will have to remove the actual mod installation via the mod's uninstaller or do it manually in your browser.
