[NTO Project] MTW2 Demo Custom Battles

[wipeout140]

Personally think for now we should use ShellShock one , because it amazing but simple. And its finished already

[Xennik]

I thought I maybe could create a simple HTML form to create descr_battle.txt files? Would surely make for easy battle creation.

Go for it

[BeastG33]

That would be ideal, wipeout. I can't get my own battles going. The 4 army HRE vs France vs England x2 was great, but my computer chugged so bad, it was barely enjoyable.

Trying to make a smaller, 8 Arquebusiers vs 8 Yeoman Archers battle on Agincourt but having no luck. English units won't show up at selection for some reason.

[Sinuhet]

The MedBattleSelector is working fine for me, I have tested it relatively thoroughly till yet and no flaw in its function have not been able to reveal. So I think we should go now in pre-beta MeDeO with the both ShellShocks tools - Patcher Utility (the last version with the both agincourt and pavia cracks included in it) and MedBattleSelector with predefined roster of battles will be ideal for any newbie.....

[Drexxus Maximus]

I just want to thank you guys for getting this going. I cant wait to play some custom battles! I'll wait until you've worked on it a bit more though. I just dont feel like manually changing stuff myself right now, I could do it, I'm just lazy today.

Keep up the good work guys. Cant wait to try it.

Good night,

I am looking descr_battle.txt file for Pavia Battle. Can you help me?

Could you please advice us Pavia descr_battle.txt file.

Thanks for your support.

[Asean]

I rather wait for the release, to much work......

[Sylver]

How do you go about editing the roster?

Seems pretty straight forward in descr_battle.txt, but making changes, even just deleting units, keeps the game from loading. The roster shows up, but hitting start returns you to the main menu.

Hi, this is my first experience with downloading a mod (although I've played RTW for about a year and have preordered M2TW) and i need to know where to unzip it to etc in order to play ti.

Sorry for the noob question, thanks.

[Proximus]

This thread sums it up rather neatly.

[Angmar_nite]

It is most likely because the units are either not in game, or their armor and or experience are not in it. Remember, armor changes appearance.

[niteflyp38]

Ok, I downloaded both the pack and the "world in data" thing. Then I followed the pack instructions, and extracted the "world in data" program to the data folder. Then I extracted the mod to the world in data folder...But when I start the demo and click on Agincourt it says "Please select item from list."

Thanks for the help, once I get this down I'll be good to go, and sorry again about being a noob, but everyone's gotta learn sometime, right?

[DyerWolf]

Sinhuet - thanks for the response. I think it was the mounted knights. (I also changed the date to 1525, which may have helped.)

Guess I gotta keep looking to see if anyone has found how to give England cavalry.

Battle worked after I replaced English Knights with Dismounted EK's. Unfortunately, a very one sided battle for France. Maybe I'll turn it around and play as England.

[iplk]

make shure you get rid of the deployment infomation for that unit 2

[Proximus]

Make sure you have the following directory structure

    world
      maps

[DyerWolf]

I haven't found a thread on this yet - but I thought it would be good to have one place to post useable units for those who are changing their Descr_Battle files.

All these work:

unit NE Late Bodyguard soldiers 49 exp 9 armour 3 weapon_lvl 2
unit Sergeant Spearmen soldiers 120 exp 3 armour 1 weapon_lvl 1
unit Dismounted Chivalric Knights soldiers 120 exp 6 armour 1 weapon_lvl 1
unit NE Late Bodyguard soldiers 50 exp 6 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit Chivalric Knights soldiers 100 exp 6 armour 1 weapon_lvl 1
unit Gendarmes soldiers 140 exp 9 armour 3 weapon_lvl 2
unit Crossbowmen soldiers 160 exp 3 armour 1 weapon_lvl 1

unit King Henry soldiers 49 exp 9 armour 2 weapon_lvl 3
unit Dismounted English Knights soldiers 120 exp 9 armour 1 weapon_lvl 1
unit Heavy Billmen soldiers 160 exp 3 armour 1 weapon_lvl 1
unit Yeoman Archers soldiers 180 exp 6 armour 1 weapon_lvl 1
unit Archer Militia soldiers 240 exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit Landschneckt Pikemen soldiers 240 exp 5 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit NE Culverin soldiers 20 exp 3 armour 1 weapon_lvl 1

*****

The following don't work well:

unit Sword and Buckler Men
unit Musketeers
(They're invisible)

Please add other units you've found!

[Garnier]

are you showing the usable unit types only, or the only working combination of unit/armor/exp/weapon ??

[BeastG33]

I beg to differ, Captain. Musketeers and Sword and buckler men work just fine.

unit Sword and Buckler Men soldiers 150 exp 9 armour 1 weapon_lvl 2
unit Musketeers soldiers 160 exp 9 armour 1 weapon_lvl 2

appear fine in game.

[TigerVX]

Can someone give me insight into what I'm doing wrong with this custom battle, this is the first time I've run into a serious roadblock, as I cannot figure out whats wrong o_O
