Thread: Modding MTW

    Default Re: Modding MTW

    could anyone help me plz? i am experiencing some troubles with adding new units in MTW. i have MTW XL 3.0 on which i have installed tyberius mod ( up to 2.2 version ). So i managed to add 5 new units and all of them have gone well: skins, .txt files and so on, in fact i can play without any problems with these new units in a custom battle. the matter is that when i play a campaign i can't recruit them, because even if they appear in the recruitment menù, when they should be ready after 1 or 2 turns ( i have set for all of them 1 turn with gnomeeditor ), the game "gives" me another unit. I wish to explain that this problem does not occur when i recruit all the other unit of the XL3/tyberius mod set...Now, i have taken a look at MTW_XL_EARLY_UNIT_PROD11.txt ( obviously the same for MTW_XL_HIGH_UNIT_PROD11 and MTW_XL_LATE_UNIT_PROD11 ) with gnomeEditor and i see that i have collected 297 units. the "vanilla" version of XL 3.0/Tyberius amounts up to 292 units. all the first 292 run wells at the recruitment, but when i try to recruit a unit of mine the game shows up the problem i have told you about. Now my question is: perhaps i have exceeded a sort of unit limit???

    Mithel Image Converter 1.10... "This program is designed specifically for creating "LBM" graphics for games like "Medieval Total War" that use the index of a color palette entry to identify which part of the graphic was selected. Thus the primary feature is the ability to click on a color in the image and assign that color to a specific color palette position." (from included readme).

    hi guys! Tell me please where i can find discription of factions (before starting campaing). I need description of Sicily Aragon etc. These factions are blocked and i can read only "For this fraction it is impossible to play this period" Or can you give me saves that will unblocked these factions

    Start the game with -ian command. Start a campaign. 0-9 and shift + 0-9 let you switch between factions. It's probably the easiest way.

    Gnome Editor question, many years ago I used this tool a lot. I have just started using it again. I could have sworn that in either the buildings file or the units file there was a column that dealt with the buildings needed to build a particular unit. I have been scrolling like crazy through both of the files and I am not finding it. Bad memory or poor observation? Is there such a column and if so does anybody know its number off hand?

    UNIT_PROD file, 17th column in Gnome.

    It seems the Gnome editor is a great tool, but TBH I don't get along with Gnome when using it.

    I have a mod idea, sort of a building overhaul, and I want to change some vanilla buildings to be similar what they are in the Viking Invasion.

    My question is. Can Calc in OpenOffice be used instead of using Gnome when editing the necessary files in MTW?

    I don't know about OpenOffice but if Excel can work with MTW then OO should work too.

    From what I understand Excel in MS Office is what Calc is in OpenOffice, so I think it could work.

    Hi guys.

    So basically, I wanted to make a simple modification in the game, making all actions done in one turn (construction and unit recruitment). I easily did this with pack file manager (PFM) with games starting from Empire Total War. How am I going to do this? What file should I edit and what tool should I use?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello yourself,

    As MTW1 is built on an entirely different engine (the TW1-engine) - any tools and/or utilities created for the warscape-engine (ETW and onwards) will thus have zero effect on the TW1-engine, due to the fact. The closest thing you can get to the stuff you seem to want, is to set the game into "debug-mode" and then use the cheat-command ".worksundays." - that will create the effect you are looking for.

    As for instructions regarding the "how" on all this, see the frogladys guide (at the very end), its attached to this post...
