how do i create a cfg file? im new and is my first time moding but im really concentreted in create new units.any tutorials or tips?
Okay, ideally you need to get a new config file from somewhere, I think there is one on the disk. Copy it over into the main medieval directory then set it as 'read only' by right clicking on the file, clicking on properties in the drop down menu, checking the 'read only' box and then clicking apply. Don't worry about windows 7, the config file works fine, I have windows 7 and have done a lot of modding with no problems. However, if you unpack the game, apply patch 1.3 first as unpacking with 1.3 causes problems as it doesn't unpack properly (at least it didn't for me).
The config file is already in Program Files/SEGA/medieval II total war folder, if you make any changes to it make sure you set it is 'read only' by right clicking on the file, clicking on properties in the drop down menu, checking the 'read only' box and then clicking apply.
If you are getting into modding I would use a mod switch as detailed here:

This separates your modded files from the main directory so that if something goes wrong you don't have to reinstall the game.

Problems with Hotseat.. Help if someone knows how to ...
Ok, i'm playing in hotseat mode with 3 factions in Broken Crescent 1.05 --> Broken Crescent Kingdoms submod..
All is ok, in my config file hotseat.autoresolve_battle=0.. my faction Kingdom of Jerusalem is sieging Antioch (owned by Rebels) and i decide to wait to build some siege equipment.. when i choose end turn, all other factions (controlled by AI) make their move.. then is Rebel Turn : the army besieged sallies but i can't fight the battle (my KoJ Army attacked by AI Rebs army) because it is autoresolved .. i'd like to play also in battles where the player controlled factions are attacked by an enemy army at the end of the turn..
I remember that in a multiplayer SS 6.1 campaign i had a config file that allowed that.. but i can't find that config file on my pc...
I greatly appreciate if someone can suggest the right solution to my problem...
Thanks, jackal263
Anyone know how to turn smoke off from units (EX: Musketeers?) PM me please thx
It also helps to turn off the eyecandy in the Options menu.
what about vist users? when i open the cfg file all i c is this:
[video]
widescreen=0
[game]
allusers=1
and when i try to edit it, and i save it tells me access denied....
can someone do a tutorial for vista, and if their is one already please give me the link.....
memory leaks.
is there a way to create a log for memo leak data?
I'm trying the following (from O/P but with added values):
[memory]
mem.init = true
mem.leaks = true
mem.leak_depth = 1
mem.crt = true
mem.accounting = true
but don't know if it's possible to log the data anywhere?
I cannot even open my config file, it is all white like I am missing the application needed to open it, anyone know what app that is?
Open it with Notepad.
I can't, when I right click there is no "open with notepad" option and when I click the open option at the top it just wants me to search the internet for appropriate applications which can open it because apparently I don't have one.
The config file is only 1kb as well which seems weird

That's all it is, 1kb.
Have you opened Notepad yourself and then search for it?
I just downloaded notepad ++ and now an option comes up to edit it, it is strange normal notepad didn't do that. I was expecting loads of text like an .ini file but there is only about 4 lines.
Thanks for your help, although unfortunately after playing the tutorial I can see that my laptop can't handle the game even on low settings despite systemrequirementlabs saying I pass the recommended settings
Sorry to hear it. I don't trust systemrequirements for the simple with Total War games, any way, as they are always on the low side. Blame CA for the info they give these sites.
Lenovo 3000 N200
Intel dual core T5450 1.66 GHZ
2gb RAM
Nvidia Geforce go 7300
Vista 32bit
I do have a PC upstairs that can easily handle it on max so all is not lost but I was hoping it would work on my laptop as it is much more comfortable and convenient (for various reasons).
-Tell you what i think the problem is your CPU i presume you get a lag on battlemap. You lower the UI unit scale in your options to small that will reduce some stress from your CPU.
-Also use a free program called Game-booster to free some of your RAM as vista might be taking too much.
-Play your game at 1024*768 resolution if playing more than that.
Lastly get your lazy ass on your PC if that doesn't helps.
