Thanks Twisted but I've got it up and running now. Forgot to download an important txt file . As long as it runs that's fine for me. If it aint broke don't fix it.

@LtChambers
Don't know whether it already has been mentioned but in the unit_stats_land db. , the 4th column in your spreadsheet where it says unknown. It's actually the amount of cannons per battery.
You can change that for example to 10 (or any other number) then you have 10 cannons but don't forget to change the unit size also. so 10x6 = 60. Now we can make nice grand batteries!

I now get an unhandled exception error when trying to replace files in a pack. I was doing this yesterday no problem with 1.3
Does anyone know why the projectiletrail.fx file looks different when extracted with this program than with the other programs which unpack the files?
I want to edit the projectile trails out but the code to edit doesn't exist when extracted with this program.
Yup, getting it too. I was adding some code to your program and I wanted to see how the replace function worked. Sadly everytime I tried it, it gave the same exception:
Code:System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException The given key was not present in the dictionary.
That error comes up because it is trying to translate a file without a template (only the 5 db's listed have templates) you should be able to hit continue and carry on with no problem.
You're right, I just tried it out myself and it definately won't let you replace files.
lol a lot of the people who had no problems before now have problems and only a few of us dont ok well heres exactly what to do we start first with .netframe 3.5
1. if your computer tries to auto update and it keeps saying it failed it did for me go to google and download from the site that made it work for me that problem is gone
ok on to the download
1 just click the link and click save to and save it somewhere that may help not sure it worked perfect for me
now to the actual editing
1.say we want to edit unit stats land open up patch.pack make one backup if i were you
2. find unit_stats_land click it and click unit_stats
3. say i want to change my poland line infantry i look for euro_line_infantry_poland then jusing arrow keys go left and find accuracy and edit it to 75 then go to file save
4 load the game up go to custom battles and see the stats if you want to edit another unit you have to save and exit then restart program manager.
thats about all i can help with also this file is not broken or anything i have no clue what your doing ltchambers has made a great add on that makes me not hav eto hex-edit so THANKS
-edit- i meant to say go right not left with arrow keys
WOOPS lol this was suppose to be up above lol

i try to download packfilemanager, but Winzip is saying the file is corrupt. I even reinstalled .net framwork 3.5 to make sure that wasnt it........
Hmm, the zip works fine for me on two computers using 7zip, Windows zip, and WinZip 12. So it was probably a bad download.
I open the program and it runs with no probs at all... i select the main.pack file in the data folder and go in and edit some of the unit sizes... i.e. grenadiers from 80-160... or whatever... i then save the file (twice just to be sure)... but when i load in the game their is no change... any help would be much appreciated.
i have .NET Framework 3.5 installed
i am running windows vista 64-bit
I wonder how big of a pain in the rear it would be to get support for the unit_stats_naval_tables :hmmm:
@hedges
Try if the file is not included in the patch.pak. If so, the one in the main.pack gets over-ridden by that one. So make your changes in the patch.pack
@cwm33
You can start decoding the file format using a hex editor (eg Hex Workshop)

Anyone got any ideas as to why we can't replace files?
File is corrupt for me too.
The zip is corrupt somehow, might be vista or winrar. Anyway Porphyr's worked.
This is great, you should put out a guide on how to create mappings for files and we could all help with the work on creating mappings for all the diffrent files.
