Pack File Manager 2.4.1 - Compatability Features added

[DaFranker]

I downloaded PFM v2.0.4 and came across something rather odd. When I try to open tables from patch16.pack, no columns show up. However, it seems to open patch15.pack fine.

Some tables are still iffy and there's quite a few that need some schema work to be readable, but it works for most of the critical files I've tried (i.e. works just fine for everything I need)

If there's a particular table that doesn't work you need to access, I'll try to help.


@kenjutsukata:
Same problem, and thus same solution, as in the post I just linked above.

@Chosen Man Lt. Richard Sharpe:
Well, it probably doesn't help that that particular table in the screenshot actually *is* empty. Or, at least, nothing I've tried has shown it to have any data whatsoever. It just has a header but no actual data, according to the Decoding Tool.

Thanks for all the work you've done recently, DaFranker .

Unlucky screenshot then, but they are all like that (unless im looking at vanilla game files)

The new installer is available here:

Daniu I can't seem to upload files to the sourceforge project anymore, so please upload this installer when you see this and update the main thread, thanks

Little question, What does it mean if the text is yellow? I opened my mod and units_tables text is yellow. Its any conflict?

DaFranker, i copy your schema.xml, but still when I opened patch16 no any columns show up

Also, when I try opened my mod "yellow" units_tables opened normal, but when opened building_unit_allowed and units_to_groupings_military_permissions I got this error

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Thanks.

I've only mentioned this bug three times. From now on, a stern look and a polite-but-disapproving link to previous posts will be standard procedure.

Okay, fixed the patch 16 issue, uploaded as 2.0.5.
- enabled replacing several packs with a patch file (fixes patch 16)
- repaired Ctrl-O shortcut for opening pack file

BTW, has anyone tried the automatic software update?
I missed Yarkis' last edit with the cai personalities, I'm uploading that as an update.

AveiMil, you failing to upload may have been the result of the project having been upgraded.
I edited the permissions now, please try again.

EXCELLENT! Thank you daniu happily browsing and extracting now.
character_skill_level_to_effects_junctions seems not readable at the moment, checking now if you can use an older version and have it read new entries with FOTS data.

Is there a way now how to update units_stats_land tables? Cant make my old tables work still and that tsv transfer is bit complicated to me. I managed to fix units_tables but still not units_stats_land.

[ManBearPig1]

Hey Daniu, thanks for the updates! Could someone please tell me how to change pack type? The option is greyed out, I only ask because I never can get a mod to work without changing the pack to a movie

[madpluck]

[QUOTE=ManBearPig1;11245133Could someone please tell me how to change pack type?[/QUOTE]

It automatically sets it to "mod" now, and it's working for me. you can still open the file in another version of PFM and change it to movie if you *really* want to, but mod is working (as long as you update your user.script)

Daniu,

Thanks for keeping this tool up to date and improving its functionality. For me, being able to mod total war has turned it from a good game into my favourite series of games, and this tool has facilitated modding it very nicely.

Has anyone been able to mod landbattle.xml in FotS? The FotS version appears to be in the effects directory in patch15.

Edit: I think I found a good landbattle.xml in the patch_bp.pack.

2.0.5 installer can be downloaded here:

Thanks madpluck, having some difficulty getting the mods to work and getting to grips with the new pfm, thanks for the help

If in 2.0.5 still doesnt working, try to disable "Use ComboBox Cells" in Pack file manager.
When I disable this, for me ALL working! No any errors = my old mods works xD
Try it

PFM 2.0.5 seems to have dealt with my projectiles troubles. Thanks daniu .

Are you just trying to port the units_stats_land tables in your currently released mods? If so, I could grab those and see if I can update them for you... unless the problem has already been fixed? I see an edit to your stats mod thread dated *after* this post.
