what is the line needed

[KING OF TWC!]

to unpack the battle_models file ? i deleted it on accident

[Gigantus]

you have to edit the batch file that unpacks all to only unpack files with the extension of the battle_models file.

First go to your unpacker folder, Medieval II Total War\tools\unpacker. Make a back up of unpack_all.bat. Might need to change it from the 'read only' property.

1. Right click on unpack_all.bat, then edit.
2. Insert this code of line for the unpacker -

unpacker.exe --source=..\..\packs\*.pack --destination=..\..\backup --filter=battle_models.MODELDB

3. Save as -
4. File name - unpack_all.bat <<don't forget .bat
5. Save type as - all files <<don't forget to change
6. Then save.

Should unpack the needed file to a newly generated "backup" folder in your main M2 folder. Hope this helps, Vegas_Bear.

That's what I meant exactly, nice work.
