Thank you for this!

Very useful. It's a lot to understand, my head is spinning right now
I will re-read this tomorrow and keep trying.

I have a question:

In this step:
Change in db/uniformsfirst and third colum with irish_inf_line_irish_line_infrantry
the same in first column or db/uniform_to_faction_colours. In last row of uniform
table put inf_line_irish_line_infrantry, same string put in all the others tables as
unitID.


I have this:


First: what's egy?
Second what do I do now? Oh wait I have to delete the stuff in the first and third column and replace it with the britain_egy_inf_elite_british_foot_guards.soldier.unit_variant?
This too for the first column in uniform to faction colours?

BTW in the last row of the Db table: britain_units_to_groupings_military_permisions. I have it completely empty. Does that mean I can delete that one?

In first column you'll assign a unique name which you will use also in uniform_to_faction_colours (only in these 2 table), e.g if you call your new unit my_unit, use my_unit_uniform. In last column you will use the name of the unit as you have it in units table (and all the others), e.g. my_unit. So you are saying to the game that your custom unit will use this uniform and those colours. You can delete britain_units_to_groupings_military_permissions.

Fuuuuu.... I tried to follow it to the end. Mod manager says: 10 confilcts with patch 4... So I have to start all over to work from patch 4 Men this is hard!

MM conflicts are not necessarily a problem.

Oh, then it's something stupid I've done... I'll look into it...
My goal was to give British foot guards an Iberian Top Hat.

Yeey!!! I managed to change something in NTW! I downloaded Quads british 18th century retexture mod and looked what he changed and what not. I tried to copy that.

Btw, why are those hats so weirdly textured? Can you explain what I've done wrong?

Sorry for asking so much questions. I don't want to be annoying.
I managed to get the Iberian top hats on the British line infantry. Those look normal, because the texture was already included I presume.
Therefore I think that these swedish top hats aren't included within the British textures. So how do I get those in?

question

how do i give a new unit its own name?

[Wolves In The Throne Room]

Anyone know why when I import a csv file back into PFM it does not show the changes I made?

Working on unit upkeep and limits for the 40+ units per stack for some gameplay experimenting and I exported the units table, edited some unit limits, upkeep cost, saved, reopened and changes are good, I import back into pfm and it shows no changes.

Thanks in advance!

I got it working, used openoffice.

I believe you can change it in the screen name section of units table or perhaps the localisation pack?
