Completely new and revised remodelled Preussens gloria (V1.2) 27/5/2012

[wangrin]

Thats what i was trying to come up with , i guess that your roster is based on the book of the early Prussian army isnt it?

Absolutely

Charles Grant - "ARMIES & UNIFORMS OF MARLBOROUGHS WARS" - Volume 1 - which covers off the major protagonists in the WSS. Not huge amounts of description, but an excellent overview of the basic uniforms of foot and horse, and the most valuable resource for uniform details.. absolutely invaluable when trying to find out what colour coat, hat trim, facing, breeches, the Navarre Regiment had (for example..) Most recommended, and a very reasonable price..

The author wrote that Prussia had only 6 infantry regiment in 1688, 18 in 1700 and 27 in 1715.
But he give information only about 11 of them, 13 if I take account of the two guard regiments.

There is only one Darth mod ultimate commander as far as i know and thats the version that you want.
As for the 40 unit cards, you will have to edit a save game yourself and then you will be able to have 30 or 40 units in an army if you want.
But i dont remember which program you need, i think esf(or something)

[blakeclucy]

most gracious sir. Thank you.

[blakeclucy]

How does this mod corespond with the prussia campaign? Can you recruit the new units and which units are availible in the beginning of the campaign. Thank you

You l have them right from the beginning, but you can just try the mod, to see it for yourself.
I did not tried to make them recruitable progressively, you will just have everyone from the beginning and iam sure that all of them will be available in branderburg.
But when the IS team finish the modification those particular units will be available in the middle period, which is the correct period for them.
For now iam developin some early Prussian units, but i think those are only going to be part of the Imperial Splendour Prussia vs Austria release , at some point in the future.

[blakeclucy]

Sorry. Ive just recently downloaded the game and Im a little confused on what a modmanager is or winrar, etc... Do you know where I might find these files or where I can download them? And I also just have the simple empire total war, and have no Mods extracted into the Data folder. Can you help Me?

Thank You..

ModManager is a utility for controlling which mods you wish to use when booting up the game. Basically, it lists all the mods it finds installed in your ETW Data folder, and lets you select the ones you want to use. Then when you click the start button it generates a user.empire_script.txt file which in turn dictates which mods are loaded along with the standard game files.



Here is a copy of the content of my current user.empire_script.txt file as an example.

mod "mod_BSM_4_1_Full_1_5.pack";
mod "DidzUnits.pack";
mod "7_years_war_battlepack_v1full.pack";
mod "proper_militia_v13.pack";
mod "mod_NoTrails.pack";

As you can see I am current set-up to run with five mods, including my own personal unit mod pack.

ModManager was designed by LtChambers and can be downloaded from here if you want to use it. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=240335

The ETW Data file is the main data file for the game, it can be found here: "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\empire total war\data"
And if you are planning to do much modding I would recommend putting a shortcut to it on your desktop.

All mods will add files to the Data Folder, but before you start doing so it's a good idea to take a clean copy of the content and saving it somewhere just in case you want to go back to vanilla.

WinRAR: Is a file compression programme, a bit like WinZip. It allows mod developers to compress the files that comprise their mods into a smaller format for uploading to a download site, and makes it quicker for you to download them. However, you will need a copy of WinRAR on your PC to unpack them and return the contents to it's full uncompressed size. WinRAR can be downloaded for free from lots of different internet sites, but the usual caution is necessary when downloading anything onto your PC.

Ok I have downloaded the mod manager unzip, and I dont know if i should unpack them. and do I need the winRAR program to make the modmanager work?

[blakeclucy]

Also when I clicked on the Modmanager symbol in the documents folder this appeared: Mod Manager.exe-. Net Framework Initialization Error. To Run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: v2.0.50727 Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropiate version of the .NET Framework.

I a little confussed because when I downloaded Mod Manager about a year and a half ago, I didnt see that message.

Do I need the winRAR program to make the modmanager work?

You would only need the WinRAR programme if the ModManager programme had been compressed using WinRAR. But as you say you have unzipped it already I am assuming that wasn't the case.

From what I recall how you actually install Mod Manager is largely up to you. My own copy is stored in a folder called C:/MyDocuments/Empire Totalwar/Mod Manager.

In that folder there are only three files.

Common.dll (40kb)
ModManager.exe (XML Configuration File) (2kb)
ModManager (Application File) (40kb)

I checked back to my copy of the ModManager Zip file in my download folder, and those were the only files in it. So, Assumming yours is the same you simply need to decide upon a convenient folder location to create your ModManager folder and extract the content of the Zip file into it.

I then created a shortcut for the Application file on my desktop and fiddled around with it the change the icon to the ETW icon, but that's not really essential.

Also when I clicked on the Modmanager symbol in the documents folder this appeared: Mod Manager.exe-. Net Framework Initialization Error. To Run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: v2.0.50727 Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropiate version of the .NET Framework.

I a little confussed because when I downloaded Mod Manager about a year and a half ago, I didnt see that message.

Hmm! I'm not techie enough to tell you what .NET Framwork: v2.0.50727 is, but I did a bit of Googling on your behalf and I can tell you that you are not alone. It would appear that there are loads of people out there scratching their heads over the absence of .NET Framwork: v2.0.50727 being reported on their computer and being unable to run a programme as a result.

The good news is that if you haven't got it, then it can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft website. According to the help forum I read it's available from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...ramework%202.0 . However, I had a look at this link and unless you know which version of Windows you are using and a lot of other stuff it might be hard to decide which version to download. A safer approach is simply to run Windows Update and let microsoft update your windows system to the latest update status. That way Windows Update will chose the version you need, and instal it for you. The price of that option, and the reason I know a lot of people don't use it (including my sons) is that it downloads all the updates outstanding from Microsoft, including a few you may not want (like the latest version of Windows Live) and it uses up some of your download allowance doing it. Which for some people with rubbish ISP providers is a problem. So, it's up to you really, but it does sound as though your windows system is well out of date.

I did check mine to see if I had this version of .NET Frame installed, and you can do so quite easily by going to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework and checking the framework folders you have present. I actually have v2.0.50727 plus v3.0, v3.5 and v4.0.30319. So, if you haven't yet downloaded V.2.0.50727 you are at least three versions behind the latest windows system update version. Fortunately, I have unlimited broadband so I just leace windows update running and it keeps my PC up to date automatically.

I would check that folder, first and confirm that the message you are getting is accurate, e.g. that you do not have V.2.0.50727, and if so you then need to decided whether to download it yourself or let Windows Update do it's job.

Great everything worked just as you said. The ModManager is now working. Should I backup my files when I put the Mods into the game, how do I do this? Im sorry for all the questions I havent played this game in a while. Thank you so much for your time helping me. It means a lot. Thank you.
