[Tulan]

I cant see a single new file to edit, all i wish to change is some files in the descr_buildings so i can change the happiness level on some buildings yet i cant get or find that file this time around

Are you looking in the right place, as each unpacker will unpack the files to Medieval II Total War\mods\americas(or british_isles/crusades/teutonic)\data.

[Tulan]

sorry for posting in the wrong spot.

And ya in my data folder for each new mni mod i have 4 folders only the anim fmv sounds and world looking thru each of those i still have no new files there either.

I am useing vista and wondering if its hiding the files from me for some reason.

Have you been able to set up a batch file that allows you to play the modded files???

[Tulan]

have not been able to mod any files yet since i cant find them after i unpacked

for rtw all i did was edit the desc_buildings and strat files to change turns and happiness from buildings then saved the files and played the game normal just fine.

Having problems getting the desc_building this time around for mtw2 i already did turns and tested and it works fine all 4 new mods are at 1000 turns each

I was actually asking Lusted that question...
Nonetheless to unpack the files you need to go to:

C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\tools\unpacker...

<copy> the unpacker application and the unpacker_americas batch file...

<paste> the files here:
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\americas...

finally <activate> the unpacker...

do this for each of the mod folders...

now you can open the txt files for the mods.

if i take the unpacker out of the tools folder it will not run for me

why do you have to copy the unpacker to a different location? you can just double click on it where it is and it will unpack the files.

No worries, you reminded me that we might need a forum for Kingdoms..

In XP, you could go to the Tools > Folder options, then click on the View tab. Scroll down, and there should be option to show/hide hidden folders. Not sure if Vista is that way though, but it's worth a trying.

[Tulan]

its done difrent thru vista but i do have the show hidden open checked and still didnt work for me.

[Tulan]

hate to bump my old thread but its better then making a new one

Anyone else have this problem or find a way to fix it?

[Daergar]

I recall reading that someone had the same problem with Vista, but his files could be found elsewhere. Do a search for export_descr_unit.txt (or whatever). Find where it shows up outside your mt2w folder and presto, you have found the files. Vista for the win, not.

[Tulan]

tried that didnt find anything reintsalled a 3rd time unpacked and tried again and nothing lol.

[Prof]

When I first unpacked the campaigns I also only had those 4 folders in each data...but then I simply unpacked it again and everything was there xD

[Tulan]

tried unpacking sevral times still no go lol

[Eden]

Can't someone upload the needed descr files ? It would be fine that way to

[postaboi707]

it worked for me.........i clicked the "unpack_americas.bat" instead of the unpacker.exe
