Emergent Factions Playable

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

When you say, "To Install, simply copy and paste the new startpos over your original startpos, CJA recommends backing up your original startpos before installing the new one here" What do you mean over the original startpos?

I'm an idiot when it comes to computers, please help.

hello there.

firstly its no problem
secondly i probably hadnt made it cler enough oblameme instead.

if your are in the correct folder for the mod
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\empire total war\data\campaigns\DMUC_Umain

-then there should be a file called startpos.esf.
-simply copy and paste this somewhere (anywhere it doesnt matter, just as long as you can find it if the want Dmuc back how it was before)
-once this is done, copy and paste the file startpos.esf from my downloaded file into thesame folder as before. it should say "do you want too replace this file", clickyes. and Hurrah, it is done, nice and easy

hope this helps

Hey Cap I was wondering How I use this one and your Minor Factions mod.
Thanks!!!

[NewDawn]

I have two questions please:

1/ Can I play this in a 4T/Year setting?

2/ Why are the buildings prices too low? Playing with the Mameluks: I have these prices:
- Provincial Barracks 112 (compared to 1500 for other factions!!)
- Bey's Mansion 300
- School of Poetry 150
- Settlement Fortifications 600
Is this intentional? If so, please tell me how can I restore the default settings.

Thank you.

im sorry, you cant combine the two becuse they are both seperate startpos, the only way would be to mod my minor factions startpos yourself, using this http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=272139, to make emergents playable in that

firstly you can, although you'll need to mod the startpos with an esf editor, heres how to do it,

+CHANGING THE TURNS PER YEAR
-step1: backup you startpos
-step2: open this startpos via the esf editor
-step3: open CAMPAIGN_STARTPOS
-step4: then CAMPAIGN_ENV
-step5: then CAMPAIGN_MODEL
-step6: then click on CAMPAIGN_CALENDAR, 3 values will appear (a 3 and two 0's) the 3 is the turns per year, change it to your preference (8, 23, 9563923, whatever)
-step7: save startpos
-step8: make sure that this startpos is the one in the Empire data folder
-step9: PLAY WITH A CUSTOM TURNS PER YEAR

and seondly, i get that sometimes with my modded statpos', althoughit usually goes back to normal on turn 2, if thi doesnt happen, just tell me andi'll tryto help some more

Is there anyway you can add the mexican units to the campaign? I really dont understand myself how to add them.

Also, how do you change portraits and all that, really pretty much the only thing that is mexican is the region and the flag. Is there anyway i can change the portraits and names or are they already there and i just dont understand how to place them?
Can you use them in custom battle?

hello there,

firstly, yes you can add units to mexico very easily, see here( http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=239419)
although id suggest using the db editor instead (i use dbe 1.8) of the PFM as the db editor is a lot easir to use, although the pfm is needed for flag changes and the like, as it can open any.pack file where the db edtor can only open ones with db tables contained within.

secondly, the portatrits of the starting government should be there from the outset of the campaign, and the replacement governors will spawn in at the rate of 1 a turn until all 5 slots are filled. you can also manually edit them from inside the startpos (only the starting ministers mind you) although you will need the pfm to open the correct DMUC.pack that contains the new portarits and add/replace and correspond that with the portait path that is in the 'character array' area of the startpos, forthat you'll need an esf editor (i use 1.4.5 because of all the extra detailing that cuts searching time down, but some people prefer 1.4.3 because they say it is more stable) see here (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=272139)

thirdly, to use mexico in custom battles, you'll need your db editing tool to edit the 'factions_table' and in the coloumn marked 'avaliable early' 'avaliable late' (or something very similar) put true, if i recall, youmay need to make a new .pack (usethe pfm for this) that contains this table, properly indexed, and get it working as its the esiest way i know for this

goodluck

Cap'n Jack, firstly thanks for all the work you and your fellow conspirators are doing for us grunts to make ETW more enjoyable and challenging.

Secondly, I downloaded the pirates file, and I closely followed the instructions you gave above for wetblowdryer. However, I end up getting an impossible error message: copy-paste function failed due to insufficient storage.
Impossible because the file is 49M, and I've got free 86G in my hard drive. How can this be? Have you or anyone else had this problem? I don't know what to do with this, any advice is welcome,thanks.

@bevi, im confused by razor Empire total war, do you have the disk and play through steam?

The Cap

[bevi]

no I have no disk, download from internet .. but also brought the steam is installed separately .. bone first install the Empire Total War and then the steam program .. my empire total war is in the path C: \ Program Files \ Steam \ steamapps \ common \ empire total war ... is updated to version 1.2...and install the program but when I choose Total Factions any faction opens the game and the screen goes white and says there is error and must cerrarce empire total war .. Forgive me if you do not understand something you do not know much about English

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

sorry bevi,

this submod works with DMUC, but DMUC has to be played on version 1.6 and with a legal disk copy/download from steam to work.so im afraid you wont get it to work
