Problem with modding

[green tea]

I have Med2 with the kingdom patches installed (not the 4 campaigns, just the patches). I have unpacked Med2 and deleted the necessary files. Now I tried to change some values in the EDB and EDU (for example I sat the construction times for all buildings to 1 and gave the english longbows better attack values.) I also installed xeryx XIA files.

Now I tried a custom battle, and the values of the longbows did not change. In the EDU, I changed this: stat_pri 16, 1, bodkin_arrow, 160, 30, missile, missile_mechanical, piercing, none, 25, 1

but the longbowmen still have an attack value of 6 on the battlefield (the old value).

So, has anyone any idea what I could have done wrong? Thanks!

You put these lines into your configuration file?:

file_first = true

;unit_info 7, 16, 4

The red semi colon means the line will not be read by the program.

This is the comment in the EDU for the stat_pri line:

;Details of unit's primary weapon. If the unit has a missile weapon it must be the primary	
; stat_pri      From left to right	
;               attack factor	
;               attack bonus factor if charging	
;               missile type fired (no if not a missile weapon type)	
;               range of missile	
;               amount of missile ammunition per man	
;               Weapon type = melee, thrown, missile, or siege_missile	
;               Tech type = simple, other, blade, archery or siege	
;               Damage type = piercing, blunt, slashing or fire. (I don't think this is used anymore)	
;               Sound type when weapon hits = none, knife, mace, axe, sword, or spear	
;               Optional. Name of effect to play when weapon fires	
;               Min delay between attacks (in 1/10th of a second)	
;               Skeleton compensation factor in melee. Should be 1

To change the effectiveness of the arrows you can look up data\descr_projectiles and have a look at the available missiles. The above number (attack factor) will change the melee value not the missile value.
