Hey guys,
I know this was a popular mod for ETW, so for those of you who wanted tighter formations for NTW, I've cooked up this little mod real fast.
This mod changes the space between ranks for all non-light infantry units from 1.75 to 1.1. Hence, tighter formations.
I left light infantry alone because it didn't look good having them so close together in an irregular formation. Besides, they'll be in light infantry mode most of the time anyway
Two versions are attached to this post, a) tightfire.pack and b) tightformation.pack.
(A) tightfire.pack has PB&J's crackling fire mod included...this was originally a personal mod of mine, but because I know crackling fire was popular and is one of my ETW favorites, I've included it for the like-minded (PB&J, if this is not okay with you, let me know and I'll take it down...the way unit_land_stats work, you can't have one mod that has tight formations and another that has crackling fire, so I had to incorporate your mod in mine to make it compatible).
(B) tightformation.pack is just tight formations.
These are mod files, so after you drop them into your data folder be sure to include them in your user script file by adding either:
mod "tightfire.pack";
or
mod "tightformation.pack";
to the text file.
Edit: I've now added patch versions, patch_tightfire.zip and patch_tightformation.zip. Just download the one you want, unzip it into your data folder, and you'll be set.
Enjoy.
No tight formation
