A few things

**Aleric** · October 01, 2006, 08:04 AM

I am poking around in the text files of RTW 1.5 and want to add a few things and take stuff away but don't know how.

1. How would I add swordsmen for macedon, greece, seleucid and carthage.

2. How do i remove the senate, the scipii and the brutii.

3. I want to change the unit banners and icons but don't know how to make them can I download any from anywhere?

**gladiatort** · October 01, 2006, 08:13 AM

1. to add sworsmen you need new unit, you can take it from others mods and make that new unit playable in your game
2. look for tutorials about factions remowing
3. there is also a tutorial about it http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=62450

Like these swordsmen:

from this thread

Can you use Cinema 4D to make units like those or is it plain 3ds maxs?

**Kasetuh** · October 01, 2006, 09:17 AM

Units are modelled in 3d studio max, havent heard that by any other tool.

Before any modding of files make a backup copy of clean files or you will need to reinstall game if something goes wrong!

RomeTW\data\export_descr_unit.txt, here is details of units

type barb infantry briton
dictionary barb_infantry_briton ; Warband
category infantry
class light
voice_type Light_1
soldier barb_infantry_longshield_briton, 60, 0, 1.2 [here is soldier model]
officer barb_standard [here is name of officer model]
attributes sea_faring, hide_improved_forest, warcry
formation 1.2, 1.2, 2.4, 2.4, 5, square
stat_health 1, 0
stat_pri 7, 4, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 25 ,0.73
stat_pri_attr light_spear, spear_bonus_4
stat_sec 0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, no, no, none, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 3, 2, 5, leather
stat_sec_armour 0, 0, flesh
stat_heat 3
stat_ground 2, -2, 3, 2
stat_mental 4, impetuous, untrained
stat_charge_dist 40
stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 1, 420, 200, 50, 70, 420
ownership britons [here is what faction can train/bribe it]

models' details written here:

; soldier Name of the soldier model to use (from descr_models_battle.txt)
; followed by the number of ordinary soldiers in the unit
; followed by the number of extras (pigs/dogs, elephants, chariots, artillery pieces etc. that are attached to this unit)
; followed by the collision mass of the men. 1.0 is normal. Only applies to infantry
; officer Name of officer model. There may be up to 0-3 officer lines per unit

creating united roman faction (using romans_julii as basis and removing scipii/bruttii/senate)

If you want to kick out roman factions you can just go to RomeTW\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign and here find file descr_strat.txt. Here you are searching <romans_scipii>, <romans_brutii>, <romans_senate> (without <> symbols). From each of that factions you cut and paste (Ctrl+X to cut and next Ctrl+V to insert) cities to your faction's part of code, look at example of city of Rome province (Latium):

settlement
{
level city
region Latium

year_founded 0
population 7500 [if you want to alter population follow instructions here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=62646]
plan_set default_set
faction_creator romans_julii [this one is imortant for public order, make it all be same]
building
{
type core_building governors_palace
}
building
{
type defenses stone_wall
}
building
{
type amphitheatres stone_amphitheatre
}
building
{
type barracks city_barracks
}
building
{
type missiles practice_field
}
building
{
type smith blacksmith
}
building
{
type market forum
}
building
{
type hinterland_roads roads
}
building
{
type hinterland_farms farms+2
}
building
{
type hinterland_mines mines+1
}
}

Next you are deleting or moving to your faction, but dont forget for father-son things (they go after list of armies/generals/agents) all family members, generals, diplomats, spies etc.

relative Decius Maxentius [your character name is here], Honoria [wife], [children, here are already comed to age, >16:]Servius Maxentius, Marcus Maxentius, Prisca, end

So each cleaned faction will be looking like this:

faction romans_senate, comfortable napoleon
denari 5000

After this, save changes to your descr_strat.txt file, restart game to let it use updated files. At start of each campaign you will see 3 messages "faction destroyed" (for each one of your killed roman factions). Have tried it, so if you make all clearly - it will give you no crashes in thank.

Next you need to rename your romans_julii to Rome faction. You will need to dig it by yourself.

Never worked. I will post the code for them all and hope someone can tell me where i went wrong:

If its not working - you made an error or maybe I missed smth in explanation. Better upload your descr_strat here.

**Lusted** · October 01, 2006, 10:47 AM

Um, you can havbe only 1 family for a faction, and delete the super_faction senate line for the julii and delete the brutii, scipii and senate entries in descr_strat.

**Aleric** · October 01, 2006, 10:50 AM

It's attached.

Can you rename the generals of say the brutii and remove the generals cav from the settlements.

Merged double post. - Trajan

**dvk901** · October 03, 2006, 01:15 PM

You must also delete ALL references to the factions you remove from the game in 'Descr_strat.txt'. They should not be listed as 'playable' or 'non-playable'...you should remove all 'diplomatic' references to them at the bottom of the file. And technically, their ownership or 'faction_creator' statements in either Descr_strat or 'descr_regions.txt' should be changed from 'romans_brutii, romans_scipii, romans_senate' to 'romans_julii'....which is the one I'm assuming you are leaving in the game. All the removed families and generals, diplomats, etc. aren't necessary, so remove them.

**Trajan** · October 04, 2006, 07:23 AM

Moved to the Hall of Scribes.

**Kasetuh** · October 04, 2006, 04:37 PM

Thanks dvk901, you covered me and continued my helping. I'm unfortunatelly ill since sunday 1 october (hardly food poisoned) and do little about any forum/rtw doings, headache makes me not able to do it...

So, Bombasticus, if you not yet solved your problems I can do it for you in 1-2 days (uniting roman faction) and give files.
