Pack File Manager 1.12 (w/ integrated .loc editor)

[Leonardo]

O.K. lets start over: you cannot make a change straight in a db table but in its TSV. So lets say that you want to make changes in factions table.

4. Export factions table as a TSV. Close PFM and leave it for a while. Open TSV and make your changes.

Before I close PFM and open TSV in the 4th instructions I need to save the mod pack right, because that mod pack is the same mod pack that you attached in your post earlier but without the db\factions_table.

You save after import in step 3.

I want to know if now this tool is too updated or not.

[Gryphes]

what almost every tool in this site crashes always.
the only thing works so far is "EsfEditor 1.4.6"

Hello can anyone walk me through the installation of any of the new fall of the samurai mods by Radious? I'm new to mods, and have no idea where to begin. I have tried to follow the steps given on here, and tried searching over the web and still haven't had any luck. I'm not sure exactly what I may be doing wrong. So if anyone is very knowledgeable of the mod installation process and has the time to walk me through it I would really appreciate it!

Hi there,

When I try editing my loc file i get an error box saying "Illegal loc file: doesn't have a byte order mark".
Why does this happen and how can I solve it? Thank you.

Hey all I modified a dds file specifically the euro_line_infantry_diffuse.dds . I moded the file to apply to Gran Colombia: euro_line_infantry_gran_colombia_diffuse.dds . I tried adding this dds to the textures directory in the models.pack file, but every time I select "add file" it puts the new dds in something other than the textures directory. Is there something I am doing wrong?

[JuanValde]

So I found that Colombia line infantry actually references: euro_line_infantry_colonial.dds . Though this has not solved any issues.

[Agamemnon]

PFM works fine for extracting, but if I try to add anything with this one it simply stops responding, and with the NTW one it gives an error message or stops responding. Basically what I did was extract the ui.pack file, then a mod's ui folder over it, and then after changing a couple flags try to make a new .pack... and it crashes every time.

ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS GIVE THE OTTOMANS THE MALTESE FLAG!

Hello,

I've created and saved my own mod file using the DB Editor, and I've opened it in the Pack File Manager, but I don't know how to actually use the mod inside Empire Total War. Could someone please help me understand how to do so?

Thank you.

[Unchained]

Anybody know how to change the directory? I seem to be having issues getting the Pack Manager to detect my installation. It keeps pointing to the C drive, and when I use the drop down, it's the only option. The thing is, my installation of Empire is on the D drive. D drive does not show up at all on the drop down for the pack file.

[Unchained]

Edit: Wrong thread.

[bbglop]

Any pack file manager for MAC???

[Leonardo]

I'm curious why this thread are still pinned and open when it's obvious in the OP, which stated that PFM 1.12 is superseded by the DBEditor tool.

This one works like a charm for me, and yep, for unlimited you select 0, remember under [game] on top menu you have to select [ETW] instead of [RTW]
