No, it's not a mistake.
I use OpenOffice which doesn't have the option to open .tsv, only .csv; then you can choose the separator so I stuck with tabs.
Also the escaping of quotes is different between the two.

Yes I can add them.
Note though that you can always right click->Open as text.

I get these throw whenever I try to open PFM with mixed header packs in my data folder.

What's a "mixed header pack"?
Packs always have one header.

Check out the Warscape Modding Primer, it should get you going.

You really need to be more specific than that. If you're using OpenOffice, try setting the extraction to .csv (Options->Extract TSV file extension).

Programs can provide conversion language, eg: English Transform Traditional Chinese?

Daniu, I think the specific patch I mentioned in my earlier post was made with an old version of PFM (pre-RTW2). However that file no longer reads for me in the latest PFM/schema version, instead crashing. It did read before.

You've probably already answered this somewhere, but I'm a lazy bastard so I'll ask it any way.
Is there any way to open trait_attribute_effects under trait_attribute_effects_tables?
It's blue at the moment. The reason why I want to open it is because I want to modify the "mighty_knockback" attribute to recreate the berserkers that we had in Rome 1, for scientific reasons only of course :)

Re: PFM 3.0.3 - Added option to have csv replace data

Think I may have found a bug. If you rename a file in the PFM and press del while doing so the program will see that as wanting to delete the file.

unknowns revelead for ancillaries_tables

Code:

<table table_name='ancillaries_tables' table_version='7' guid='20b6898d-f709-4c75-9137-b5d0111ed796'> <field fkey='ancillary_info_tables.ancillary' name='key' type='string_ascii' pk='true' /> <field fkey='ancillary_types_tables.type' name='type' type='string_ascii' /> <field name='applies_to' type='string_ascii' /> <field name='transferrable' type='boolean' /> <field name='unique_to_world' type='boolean' /> <field name='unique_to_faction' type='boolean' /> <field name='precedence' type='int' /> <field name='start_date' type='int' /> <field name='end_date' type='int' /> <field name='explanation_text' type='optstring_ascii' /> <field name='exclusion_text' type='optstring_ascii' /> <field name='avatar_skill' type='optstring_ascii' /> <field name='avatar_special_ability' type='optstring_ascii' /> <field name='is_wife_ancillary' type='boolean' /> </table>

for some reason references of names_tables cannot be solved

To install it is asking me to point where STW is, but if STW is shogun I have not got it. It is giving me error. I cannot see any instructions about it.

It pointed to ETW for me and just sent it to R2 data...shouldn't be a problem.

Well the current PFM should be able to read all earlier packs, but I suppose a broken version was used to create it.
If you post the pack, I might be able to repair it.

Those tables are empty (the blue is indicating that).
It seems they aren't used by the game.

Added the ancillaries, will release new schema in a few days.
Haven't gotten around to checking the names table yet.

In case anyone hasn't seen, Pietro is the single largest contributor to decoding the DB tables with about 50% of all tables decoded or corrected by him.
You should really +rep him if you're using PFM.

You should be able to just cancel and it will be fine (I think it also says in the dialog).

Re: PFM 3.0.3 - Added option to have csv replace data

Yes it says so, I have cancelled but a few seconds later, when I start it, it shows an error window. It happened too without cancelling so I guess it has nothing to do with it. http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...t/errorpfm.jpg

Re: PFM 3.0.3 - Added option to have csv replace data

Has anyone been able to decode battle_types_to_victory_conditions properly? It's a strange one where battle_type field entry gets 00 between each letter in binary format. I think this file may be the key to eliminating victory points for all battles. :)

There's something strange in that table

Code:

<table table_name='battle_types_to_victory_conditions_tables' table_version='2' guid='373e5215-c1e3-44cc-be62-24e452821d63'> <field fkey='battle_types_tables.type' name='battle_type' type='string' pk='true' /> <field fkey='victory_conditions_tables.condition' name='attacker_victory_condition' type='optstring_ascii' pk='true' /> <field fkey='victory_conditions_tables.condition' name='defender_victory_condition' type='optstring_ascii' pk='true' /> </table>

it's correct, but I think that is unusual to have string and string_ascii (even if optional) in the same table.
