Thread: PFM - Please refer to thread in Attila forum now

  1. #1

    Default PFM - Please refer to thread in Attila forum now

    This is the Pack File Manager with Rome 2 supported starting from version 3.

    I've stopped maintaining this thread, please go to the Attila forums for problem reports and questions.



    Previous content
    Download Current Version 3.2.1
    Unzip to install.
    Don't unzip as Administrator if you're planning on running it as a normal user later or you won't be able to use the automatic update.


    I'll post schemas for Rome II betas in this place, but there's none on right now.



    There is an autoupdate under the Help menu; if it doesn't work for some reason,
    - all software releases always available here.
    - newest (and older) DB schemas here.


    As usual: if you any issues, let us know.


    To get started with modding in general, here's my Warscape Modding Primer.
    Also, join the PFM Steam user group. I'll try and put up update notifications there.


    Release 3.2 notes I just finally uploaded the new PFM version 3.2.
    This contains some pretty massive under-the-hood changes which you shouldn't even realized happened.
    It makes the whole schema handling a lot smoother by only reading a single schema file (master_schema.xml) for all WS games and only maintains the maximum version per game/table to be able to paint the yellow tree node for tables in need of an update.
    It also should make updates more reliable by not "guessing" that columns at the end of the table will be new, but bases its update on column names.
    I did also introduce a new feature that you can now also subscribe to beta schema versions, so no more need for manual downloading those.

    The bad news is that this makes schema file updates useless for previous releases, so you pretty much need to update to 3.2 if you want to continue receiving schema updates for later patches.

    I also worked on the gamedir.txt problems people were having, with the AssemblyKit installation creating an empty Rome install at C: which PFM erroneously always took for the proper install location.

    Is The Decode Tool come with it, so some of us here can help decode more tables for you?

    Works for me, captain, but can't edit too much in it. Nor does it make sense to me (casual observer here - messed around a bit with Shogun 2). Keep it up!

    It shows db. Table names are colored black and red but all of them have blank content. Is it just a mutter of adjusting the R2 schema xml? Can you please upload the source code as well?

    I uploaded a beta2 which I hope fixes the issue - it's one that only appears when you have the game installed which I don't have here right now.
    Updated OP.

    JaM, the _kv_tables look like they're all supported (the ones in crossed out in the OP didn't need any schema changes).
    I also started working on some table schemata (the ones in green).

    Husserl, I'll check in the files as soon as people can somehow run it or at about 3 pm CET, whichever is earlier.

    I've edited my previous post before reading your answer so I post again my question: Is it just a mutter of adjusting the R2 schema xml because it reads the tables but none of the tables content shown is shown .

    EDIT: changes must be done in both master and R2 schema xml or only to R2?

    No, the strings in the database use ASCII instead of Unicode now (not a particularly bad move considering it takes half the space, but does mess up my trying to support all TWs a bit).
    I checked in now, might as well do more often.

    But yes, once you got the PFM running, the DecodeTool is available and we can work on the schemata.
    There seems to be a lot of splitting up to have been done, looks like I'll not be able to that by myself in a reasonable time.
    I'll go through the list in the OP, if anybody starts working on other tables, probably best to post that so nobody else needs to do double work.

    When you've finished a schema, press the "Show" button in the DecodeTool and copy/paste that here.
    Note that both the "entries" and "bytes read" on the bottom needs to fit.
