Land Unit Stats Editor v0.1

[Sol Invictus]

Man you modders amaze me sometimes. This looks like an amazing tool. I can't wait until CA releases the official tools and you guys can really go hogwild.

[Cynik]

Great work, hopefully you'll update it when CA releases a patch which fixes that horrible CTD on ai turnphase problem. This seems like a great tool to fill the gap whilst some major mods come out.

[crazypeon]

Very nice work. +rep

Atleast i can fix some parts of the game now .

EDIT:
Changing unit sizes doesn't seem to work yet. Changed the unit size of the grenadiers from 80 to 160 (same as other line infantry). Change the values, commited and saved it and imported it in the main.pack. Made no difference so i checked if the DB in the main.pack had the right values. It did.

EDIT2: My bad, didn't realize that the patch.pack had a newer DB file. Works like a charme now. Thank you!

[Alkarin]

now this is out someone should make a more realistic firing mod
IE: increase range,reduce accuracy...add more ammunition

[Delphy]

KnightsofEngland, if you reload the table and the stats are, indeed, changed, then it's not a problem with the editor. It's simply that your game isn't picking up the changes. Try re-packing the changed file back into patch.pack.

cwm33, firing ranges aren't in this file since I believe they are attached to a particular weapon.

HellFell, yes I'll be updating it as time permits and as we work out new fields.

gfzgfx, make sure when editing that you press Commit *before* saving or switching units. The program has a list of units in memory that it uses to then save out... if you dont press commit then it wont update this list and once you are finished you MUST use File -> Save table to actually save it to disk.

Well Delphy and I are already working together via IM, but we still managed to come out with two separate tools *sigh*. I think we need to agree on requirements and work on a common editing program. I've already got a SourceForge project set up for it, too.

My tool is only a proof of concept one. Just to show that it *can* be done. Also, I prefer specialised small editors over one big monolithic thing. Thats just how I am, I guess, in my many years experience with making modding tools

Hey anyways, great job guys. Makes life easier!

[kefalo84]

This is great!! awesome job!!

[Sorkenlol]

Great! Thanks.

Any chance you're working on one for projectiles aswell? That'd be cool. Impact radius, velocity, etc.

[ChiuTheWarlord]

Nice Job! and Thank you

This editor works really well.

By the way, how do I increase the ammo?

[joedreck]

I didn't try it and I didn't read the posts, but it looks fantastic. Very simple, I can see on first time, what i'm searching for . Remember me the soccer editors.

I don't think CA's tools could be more simple.

Very good job. Hope for an editor, with all functions together. From unpack, over changes to repack in one editor.

+REP for you.

Hi All,

Here's the quick and dirty land unit stats editor I promised.



Some notes:

- Works only on unpacked unit_stats_land
- Works ONLY on unit_stats_land - no Naval units yet
- Allows you to modify the stats in the unit_stats_land db table
- Doesn't modify any other files (ie upkeep, etc)
- When changing any stats you MUST click the commit button to save them to the in-memory copy. If you dont then your changes wont be saved.

You need .NET Framework 2.0 installed to use this. Has been tested only on XP 32bit.

If you change any of the values below the "Dont change anything below this line" I have absolutely no guarantee that you wont break your game horribly!

With that said, enjoy. Credits to LtChambers and Scanian for helping me work out the file formats. We aren't done yet but getting there!

Regards
Delphy

Very good job , + 1 rep , I hoope you can tell me if the units look can be edited somehow ? or can be added new units?

[Tharros]

Good job! would have done something like this my self but alas, Uni does not allow me to. To much work..

I would like to make a feature request - batch updates. What I mean by this is having a section where one can enter commands that effect all units (or types of units). Eg +10 to all infantry accuracy.

[GTFO. Jamie]

can you edit the damage caused by rifles/muskets?

[aronnov]

anyway to edit line infantry by just faction. oh and +rep

*edit* n/m. i see where they're seperated.

[Aurelus]

Amazing! +rep

[Van Diemen]

This is a gift from heaven for all the hex editing noobs like me!

[JohnHamm]

Rep to you sir!! now I can do something about those pesky Native Americans!! WoooHooo!!

[Van Diemen]

can you edit the damage caused by rifles/muskets?

No, those are weapon specific, not unit tied.

[GTFO. Jamie]

ahh i see, hopefully a tool to edit those will be along shortly. I would prefer them to be a bit more powerful...
