You will rename db/unit_stats_land_tables/unit_stats_land not db/unit_stats_land_tables/unit_stats_land

The period might work, but if you get a CTD, use an underscore instead. Plus what husserlTW^ said.

managed to get it working , only thing is i try to put rank fire back in the first rank fires in a volley as in empire but doesn't crouch and from then on its fire at will. How can i make the second rank fire ? either standing or crouching i would prefer if the front line crouched.

thanks guys

Hi there, I found for the uniform db file for the 4 strings Name are

Uniform IDref - can be any name
Country - For which country the uniform is designated for
variant of uniform from variantmodels.pack - which variant file to use for the uniform (headpiece and different addon meshes to use)
Unit ID from either unit_stats_land(Unit IDref) or units (Unit ID) - which unit you wish use this Uniform entry


I use this file to fix all the placeholder junk.

Cheers!

Thanks izanagi great work, may be this is the key to add brand new unit in NTW

NOTE: Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

I've been here reading posts and tutorials for some hours and have so far failed to actually get any mod to work in my game

I'm brand new to the whole Total War genre having received my first Total War game through the post today, and must say "OMG EPIC". Most epic game I've ever played, the scenery and detail is crazy.

Now I've decided id love to do some moding and have downloaded the "PackFileManager" which appears to work great.

I've created a .pack (saved it as a mod file)

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\napoleon total war\data\mymod.pack

Once opened with the pack manager I've got (in the left tool bar)

- mymod
- db
- unit_tables
- frenchy

my frenchy file is basically the "units" table which is renamed to "frenchy".

In this table I have got 3 rows (the units I wanted changed), upkeep has been set lower ect...

To activate I've added the following inside

C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Napoleon\scripts

Added user.script file

Contents of the file are:

mod "mymod"

Ok, this is all following a few different tutorials and reading posts here, however when I go into a campaign and try to build one of the units I changed, its as if my mod isn't there. Basically it don't work and I have no idea which bit I've messed up.

Any help would be appreciated.

mod "mymod"

That's wrong. If mymod is the name of your pack then you should enter:

mod "mymod.pack";

Hey Tom,

Welcome to the world of TW! Feel free to post screen shots and attach files when you have problems. To do either:
1) Click "Reply" or "Quote" to reply
2) Click "Go Advanced"
3) Click the paper clip icon to attach a file; or
4) Press the exclamation point icon to create a "spoiler frame" (it helps the 56k modem crowd). Put your pic in the spoiler frame by clicking the photo icon (a mountain with the sun behind it) and link to an upload of your screen shot. Programs such as Zscreen (my fav) or Fraps will upload your screen shot for you automatically.

Try change user.script.txt into UTF-8 format~~
This file needs to be coded in Unicode to take effect...

[JaM]

btw guys, any chance we will be able to edit battleformations.bin ? I remember Sinuhet was able to edit it somehow for ETW... (it contains starting deployment patterns.. would be great to have starting possition not always deployed in one long line and instead in few groups...)

[husserlTW]

I think nobody has ever managed to edit battleformations.bin. They just use previous version of Empire like 1.3 that have better behavior.

[husserlTW]

Eric, I do need you here.

In the next versions of this pack manager all those unknown values will be replaced ?I mean CA don't help nothing?
Id like to discover the Medieval2 desc_mount equivalent ,and I have no idea were it is,maybe in a unknown value?

No, CA isn't interested. We'll get 99% of it figured out, so don't worry too much. However, I doubt it will all be in the next update unless we get more help.

What is "desc_mount"?

[flexter]

CA are really being ^%$#@#$%

i managed to get the first line to fire in a volley but then they fire at will, can i make the first line crouch and 2nd line fire in PFM?
