[SUBMOD] Unit variety mod for TROM *Not yet updated for TROM v1.7x*

[Yarkis de Bodemloze]

NOTE BY JOHAN217:

I WILL UPDATE THIS MOD SOON FOR THE NEW TROM V1.7x. THE CURRENT VERSION SHOULD WORK WITHOUT CAUSING CRASHES, BUT THE UNIT STATS HAVE NOT YET BEEN ADAPTED.

Unit Variety Submod For TROM 1.6x

Version 1.6 (21. Feb 2010)

by Yarkis

OVERVIEW

This submod for TROM basically adds more variety to TROM by adding unit variants of standard TROM units. For example, instead of only one type of line infantry, many factions now have several line infantry units with different styles of uniforms that are historically more or less accurate. While the uniforms are different, the unit stats of all variant units are unchanged from TROM. Therefore the mod will not change the gameplay, but will add a lot more colour to the battlefields, and may immerse you more by providing individual, recognizable units. The mod comes complete with new unit cards made from ingame screenhshots of the units in action. The only shortcoming is a lack of individualized icons for most of the units. If somebody with better artistic skills then me want's to help out here, he is welcome.

Many thanks to all the people who allowed me to use their textures and other work for this mod (see the full credits list below)!

INSTALLATION

Easy installation in 3 steps:

1. download the full pack (96 mb) and install it (link at the end of this posting)
2. download the latest TROM_unit_variety_submod_mod.pack attached to this posting and overwrite the one from the full pack
3. enable the mod with the mod manager ( TROM_unit_variety_submod_mod.pack must be higher on the list then trom_core_part_1.pack)

The download comes in the 7-zip format, which has a very high rate of compression especially for the files used in this mod. You can get 7-Zip for free here: http://www.7-zip.org/.
You also need the ModManager 1.5 by LtChambers from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=314659.

The 7-zip file contains TROM_unit_variety_submod_mod.pack, TROM_unit_variety_submod_graphics.pack and a readme. Drop both pack files in the data directory of your ETW installation. After copying the files enable the both packs in the ModManager. Make shure, the submod is higher on the list then the TROM core files (which means it is loaded after the TROM core files and will overwrite data entries where neccessary).

To uninstall: To temporarily uninstall the mod, disable both files in the ModManager. To permanently uninstall the submod, delete both files.


SAVEGAME COMPATIBILITY

The mod should work with any savegame of TROM. While changes to the unit limits will not apply to a savegame, this is a minor thing you can neglect. Don't uninstall the submod while you or the AI have already some of the new units recruited...the game will most probably crash.

oohhhh.. more color and uniforms on the battlefield....me likey.....

[sage2]

Great work.

[mikeCK]

I installed as directed but am not seeing anything. I am playing as the dutch but own France and several German states. I don't see any new line units or cards. Do I just recruit a line unit as normal and expect some to be different than others or am I doing something wrong?

[Yarkis de Bodemloze]

The dutch don't have any variant units yet. Fire up a campaign as France or Austria and you should have several variant line infantry units at your disposal. If not, the installation went wrong.

It sounds like your install is wrong. Start a game as Russia: can you recruit "Russian Regiment of Foot"? If not, your install is not correct.

Also, check to make sure that you have NO other mod .pack files present in your \data director. Some mod types will conflict, even when not enabled.

[mikeCK]

Ok, so even though- as the dutch in control of france- I can recruit out of paris, these units won't show because I am still dutch?

Ok...I'll be donr with this campaign shortly

[WarnerVH]

Ok, I installed your mod; but did it without the mod manager. I use JSGME mod manager which in turn installs these two pack files...

TROM_unit_variety_submod_mod.pack file

trom_text.pack

... into my ETW data folder.

I am then editing the user.empire_scritp file and placing both TROM_unit_variety_submod_mod.pack and trom_text.pack into the user.empire_script file at the top of the list.

My problem seems to be that I am getting some of the units in the variety mod; but not all the units that you list. I get the austrian units in the mod and the french units in the mod with all the proper units cards, text, etc; but don't have any of the british lines or any other faction variety mod units for any of the other factions.

Am I doing anything wrong? All the TROM units are correct BTW. I know I'm not using the Mod manager; but I think I am manualy installing the mod with JSGME and editing the userconfig file correctly. Could somebody tell me where I am going wrong? Is it that this mod can only work with the mod manager?

Thanks all.

BTW.. is the FULL FACTION RESKINS also compatible with TROM? or only the lite version?

[WarnerVH]

[Johan217]

Which one is that?

[sfchammer]

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but does this submod need updating for the text.pack each time part 1 of the main mod is updated? In other words, I just downloaded the 1.32.2 update for the main mod, if i install this submod and overwrite the text.pack from v1.32.2, will I lose or break anything updated in that version of the main TROM mod ?

cheers

[Johan217]

No such thing as a stupid question

Yes, the submod's textpack should be updated every time the Trom textpack is updated. So it is possible that you miss a few text strings. But it's been a while since we added new text strings to TROM, so if there are inconsistencies they should be minimal.

[sfchammer]

OK, cheers mate and thanks for the quick reply!

Really enjoying TROM and all associated with it, keep up the fantastic work fellas.

I would use the modmanager. It's easy to use and will not conflict with JSGME. Howvere, I don't know why you are not able to recruit the British line infantry variants in London, if you can get the French and Austrian ones. Anybody else having that problem?

[WarnerVH]

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. I can get those units in the customs battles (austrian and french); but not the british line units etc that are in the mod. Maybe they are not implemented totally in the mod for custom battles? Maybe thats why I cant get them in the Custom battles section.

Sorry, should have clarified.

[littleleo]

Hello ... i have one problem and one suggestion :

1/ Problem : i didn't see on game the correct unit card. I can recrute all the units (i think) but there is no name on the top of unit card (good description, good screen). Is it normal ?
2/ Suggest : i find some very good french historical units here : http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=263726 ... maybe you can use it in future version of your very very good sub-mod.

Thanks for all, Léo

If you don't get proper unit descriptions, either my TROM_text.pack isn't correctly isntalled or there is a conflict with another pack file that has text changes in it.

I already added some more french units like the Regiments Auvergne, La Marine and the Swiss Guard.

[littleleo]

thanks, y'r a king !

just thinks about this : swiss guard like an elite unit ... what about specification for La Marine (is it "infanterie de marine" ?)

[Yarkis de Bodemloze]

Swiss Guard will of course be elite but will be destroyed if France becomes a republic (as it was historically I think). Regiment de la Marine is part of the Vieux Corps (Old Corps) and therefore superior line infantry.

The Régiment de la Marine was created by an order of 26 September 1635 because Cardinal de Richelieu wanted to have his own regiment1. It was then formed of new companies and some companies taken from other regiments. The regiment got the name Cardinal-Duc, got Louis Chevalier de Montecler as lieutenant-colonel and was immediately given the privilege of permanence. The privilege meant that the regiment took rank as 16th in stead of 106th. At the end of 1636 Richelieu wanted to change the name of the regiment, and becauses he was also grand maitre and surintendant-géneral de la navigation he named the regiment 'De la Marine', a name it continued from then on. He then no doubt intended it for sea-service like the regiments des Vaisseaux and the regiment des Galères which were founded at the same time, but it never came to that.
