Napoleon PFM Released

[The Vicar]

Here is the initial release of PFM (Pack File Manager) for Napoleon:Total War.

Note that this is not a final release, but a work-in-progress.

The big news is that you can now read: units, unit_stats_land, projectiles, unit_stats_naval, warscape_naval_lod, uniforms, and most tables that begin with the letters "A" through "R".

This has been possible through the combined hard work of:

Erasmus777
HusserlTW
Myself (the Vicar)

UPDATED 30 March 2010.

Microsoft .Net 3.5 is REQUIRED for this program to function. You can find it here.

Quick question. Once edits are made, how do you get the game to recognise them?

Quick question. Once edits are made, how do you get the game to recognise them?

You have to make your own mod.pack and edit the user.script (C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Napoleon\scripts) adding the line:

mod "mod.pack";

In Empire threads you'll find tutorials with instructions how to make a mod.pack.

Great work guys!

Not sure what you mean by this.

That's the unit_stats_land table, and it can be opened by this PFM.

Well done, now I think I can start work on Napoleon Order of War!

And,still....the format not completed~~

Edit:Here is the fixed format(In case someone having the same issue)

Great work, The Vicar

The Vicar PLS open naval table:

models_naval
unit_stats_naval
warscape_naval_lod

[Thoragoros]

Hmm, some changes are taking but not others. For instance, I managed to change the numbers of units, for instance increasing the number of guns per battery, soldiers, etc..

But then changes to the effects of technology don't seem to be taking, nor the changes to the effects of buildings. Odd.

EDIT

I think I found the problem, I was using the files from the datapack rather than the patch pack. Is that why? I notice that the units_land_stats is not in the patch, whereas the technologies effects and building effects are.

Let me retry this.
