Help in modding Empire Total War
Hello, I was trying to edit the campaign_difficulty_handicap_effects within patch2.pack as its the latest pack that overrides the earlier ones. I did try to make my own mod to implement some edits but it wasn't working too well and it seems the few edits I really hoped would work simply would not take place at all.
I've been able to do this with Total Wars from Rome 2 and beyond, but sadly hit a brick wall with Empire.
When adding in a 'handicap' for only the player I was hoping to change either all or mainly the land unit stats with the lines mod_unit_armour, mod_unit_marksmanship, mod_unit_melee_attack, mod_unit_melee_defence, and mod_unit_reload_rate. I edit them into the table for each of the difficulties -2 up to 2, however it does not work at all, at least not when going in-game, starting a new campaign, and checking the unit stats on the campaign map, none of the effects seem to want to work. Patch2.pack is the appropriate file to edit, as I also tried upkeep_cost_mod_land_all which worked perfectly fine under the same conditions. I've reached the limit of what I know, so wanted to see if someone with much better knowledge of Empire than myself could help out in figuring out why it is that it simply ignores the effects.
I've checked around for any other effects that may effect unit stats but beyond those 5 there is nothing else. I'm also not sure if it actually is effecting it, but simply doesn't reflect in the unit stats panel on, since the upkeep effect does I figure it should also be changing the values in the panel. I have no ideaany help would be awesome
