reading this conversation again 7 years later gave me a warm smile. just got back into total war again after buying a new gaming laptop. playing this game was a form of therapy for me at the time....
oh hey, thanks for getting back to me either way! i managed to get it working a while ago. there was a mod that edited the startpos file that i wasn't aware of, as you said.
this always happens. is there an expiration date for attachments or something?
pretty much any other time i could just use esf editor but i'm not sure what to look for if it's even possible. i did see something about the CA kit being patched to process startpos and i have the...
hey, I really appreciate you getting back to me but i actually kind of found a work around for what i wanted to do with the save parser tool and the more characters mod. that said, i'm going to give...
hi,
so i installed the more characters v 2.0 mod so i could recreate some of the famous generals in my game. problem is some of the models i wanted to use aren't coming up in either of the save...
i downloaded this and wanted to say great job!
i wanted to import a couple of the general models into my vanilla game but i'm not having much luck in figuring it out. i have an idea of how to...
howdy :)
title pretty much says it all. i'm getting the itch to tinker i used to get while playing ME2. thing is this game's files are waaay different from what i barely understood to begin with....
for some reason my game starts in 1545, with Ieyasu's father in command as if it were still vanilla. there are some advanced units on the field as well. i've uninstalled all other mods. i have mods...
You guys saved me a lot of time, thanks fellas!
OK thanks a lot!
It's not that but thanks though.
I swear to every God that does, has and will exist that I absolutely HATE the BMDB file.
Could editing the BMDB file in the middle of a campaign mess up said campaign?
You're the man.
Would anyone happen to know why a new trait I created modeled after the ScotlandHero trait in SS6.3 might cause my general's strat map model to turn into the king's and his name on the strat map to...
FINAL UPDATE
I had to increase the serialization count by one, even though my game was still loading.
The BMDB file, a mysterious and cruel mistress she is, but reward the persistent she does.
hello my good men!
after importing a battle model from TATW to SS6.3 i've been feeling a little ambitious lately and decided to aim my sights a little higher. this time i imported a unit, which...
Hey man appreciate the effort but we already sorted the problem out.
I didn't even know you could enter a general in that file but I do believe the sherwood archers have that attribute. No I didn't have any issues downloading it once I reset my router.
Thank you!
WE DID IT! :thumbsup2 So after my last post I remembered someone saying that they always add "merc" entry in the bmdb file. I did that and the model plus the texture showed on the map with no melee...
Ok so your mod worked perfectly, but in my game the model doesn't show unless I increase the serial number by 2 and even then, it's the silver surfer. This was the problem I was having before, now...
Ok so I entered sherwood_archers in descr_strat and the general had a model that resembled the rest of his unit. Is that good?
I managed to download the files but my connection's acting funky and...
Ehh I think it'll be fine. I've got faith in the guy who's helping me now and I figure he wouldn't help if he didn't want to. Thanks though.
Any idea of what could be wrong?
:no: Still crashing before the battle map. Could it be something wrong with my installation or maybe there's a file I forgot to edit/delete?
Here's my exact installation path
C:\Program...
Mind if I ask of the significance of the zeroes and spaces?
Honestly ever since I edited it to show more info, the log's become a different language. Would I be imposing if I asked you to check it out?
Hey you helped me before, thanks for responding. Yes and YES.
Thank you. That picture gives me hope haha. Could the crash have to do with that model being made for missile infantry? Maybe I'll try to figure out how to mess with model animations one day.
Will do.
Have I said that I appreciate your help?
Hello Total Warriors! (Is that a thing yet or is it too lame?)
For starters this is sort of a double post, however, it's occurred to me that this is the actual forum for my question. Also the...
Different method, same result. This time I copied & pasted the BMDB entry from the TATW to SS file while keeping the original pathway, and copied & pasted the folders denoted in said pathway. The...
Could've been but I'll never know since I just reinstalled SS. I'm gonna retry the whole process, but with a different with a different unit and see how it goes. I really appreciate your patience btw.
Something I did caused me to go back to crashing while loading the battle map. This is more difficult than I was expecting.
I'm playing as England. Some random urge caused me to make him an Irishman lol. Do I still make the entry?
Ok so I edited the BMDB file and the model is showing but it's showing as the silver surfer silhouette. Also, would giving the model the assortment of numbers from its assigned unit's help the melee...
I should probably point out the general's name is Robin of Ireland.
[EDIT] If you mean the "battle_models" file, I hadn't manually edited that if I was supposed to. Thanks for that bit about the...
Sorry about that didn't notice it hadn't uploaded
Hey thanks for replying! Love RoTK btw.
If it matters, I changed his BG unit to sherwood archers.
