modding campaign map

**Nosjack** · March 13, 2013, 08:37 AM

Have you fully tested the region? I.e., units can walk in it, buildings can be upgraded, etc.

Great success! So since this uses the warscape engine would it be possible to add a region in NTW?

No, we don't have any of the base files which go into making the campaign map of NTW.

By the Gods! He's done it! I feel like a new era of warscape modding has begun.

No but with more knowledge it's possible for some one or some group of modders who have free time maybe a year to create a new European map during Napoleonic Era.

Wauw spartan-warior.You did e hel of a job! Can you make a tutorial how to do it with 3DSmax?Do whe need the 2010 version or the 2013 version.

Spartan-warior, I know it's too much to ask, but if you can come up with a video or a detailed "how to", that could give the shogun 2 community a good kickstart and perhaps, if we are lucky, a bump into comprehending how to mod the future Rome 2.

**Ygge** · March 14, 2013, 08:01 AM

I agree, if you have time to do that spartan_warrior, things would get alot easier.

**Maniacal** · March 16, 2013, 04:18 PM

Hurrah! Hopefully this means there is hope for region editing in Rome 2, one of the main reasons I started using mods for TW games was because I couldn't stand CA's vanilla maps for Rome and medieval 2. Horrible region designs.

Fabulous work this is why I gave you that badge !

**Shea O'Gorath** · March 16, 2013, 06:20 PM

All of TWC rejoices.

**079rtfgkljt90rgio** · March 17, 2013, 02:22 AM

Congratulations! That's some very good news ;-) And glad you add this region.
Also, I don't want to be a pain in the a**, but shouldn't it rather be the city called Hirosaki instead of Aomori?? Aomori was just an harbor for Hirosaki domain (maybe called Uto, but I don't know).

great job, i love you

**MathiasOfAthens** · March 18, 2013, 01:44 PM

Did you get the base files needed to mod this from the community modding pack from CA (or whatever it was called)? That would mean we would need a similar handout for Rome II.

Anyway, great accomplishment. I cant rep you again but I will later after I have spread it around.

**The Byzantine** · March 20, 2013, 10:43 AM

I am really, really eager to learn how to mod the campaign map but unfortunately i am totally unfamiliar with the subject. Spartan_warrior mate your greatest contribution to the community would be a tutorial or a series of them

Can you upload the modified esf files. I'd like to examine them to see how they differ from the normal esf files S2TW uses to better understand what is changed when you add a new region.

Also spartan_warrior have you tried make an impassable area, such as Korea, into a passable one?

**Cheiftan** · March 27, 2013, 02:04 AM

HOLY COW THIS EPIC I cant wait until they map a mod to make this like empire !!!

**Croshy** · March 29, 2013, 04:30 AM

i have the same hope, i hope spartan_warrior gives us a tutorial. i would like to read myself into it.

another problem will be that the buildings would be asiatic, so there is the uestion if it is possible to use etw or ntw models in sh2 and then we still have the problems of law when doing that
