Done, and thanks. In the future, it'd be easiest if you just wrote the modified DBFileTypes.txt yourself and attached it to the thread, because otherwise I have to keep all these damn entries roughly alphabetized.

[just]

And let me do all the sorting?

Well, I figure you had to do em one at a time right? So while testing, seems like it's easier to put it in the right place to begin with. But I'll soon be switching to XML anyway. The alphabetical order is pretty inane anyway, there's a find function for a reason.

[Condottiere SOG]

I can finally thank you for your creation as I have some idea as to how it works now...I get to have the realistic virtues I need for this game at last! Mwuahahahahahahahaha! +rep!

I hope you don't mind me posting this, but I updated my DBFileTypes with what Just posted. I'll attach it for anyone who wants to update theirs. Put it in folder with your PFM. You may want to backup the original just in case I made a mistake (seems to work great though)

I updated the online definitions with them two days ago. Sorry.

No problem. I didn't see that. I'll delete my post then.

I got a problem while trying to open a mod.pack, its the one that follows:




PS: What im doing wrong?

[Gilthanor]

Ok, I've been searching and reading for over half and hour with no luck. I've read several posts in this thread that sounded like they would help me out, but I keep getting an error.

I'm attempting to add the units file to a pre-existing mod that doesn't have it. So, I open up patch.pak, go down to units_tables, right click and "extract selected", which prompts me for a place to save it, so I save it to my desktop. I then open up the mod I'm using, right click on "db" and click "Add File". I then select the file I extracted (which saves itself as db->unit_tables->units but no matter which way I try to do it, I get an error saying "System.ArgumentException: added files must be in the relative directory or a subdirectory", and the program closes itself.

What am I doing wrong? It should be simple to move a file from the patch.pak to my new mod pack, but I can't get it to work.

The mod is setup to map things relative to the ETW data folder. Move the db folder so that the file you extracted is in the following location: ...empire total war/data/db/units_table/units.

A few more db definitions (p.s. they don't seem to have to be sorted. They work fine without sorting.)

Incase nobody knew

The 00 value in the last column in units_tables as far as i can tell determines whether the unit can be disbanded or not... 00 is that they can, 01 is that they can't.

Which gives me hope for removing the replenish button for the AI... can do it for players but the AI can then still replenish troops.

They work fine but the list that's displayed isn't in alphabetic order anymore

[ToonTotalWar]

Can anyone help on this issue please!!
I cannot open a mod.pack file in my data folder that i was adding/editing an icon file and this message appears all the time now??
I can open any other .pack file apart from this one?? Please help there is three weeks work of my All American Continental army here at stake!!
I have searched this thread and cannot see any solutions

[sage2]

I've seen that error when I've tried looking at pack file while ETW is running.

So... you haven't made backups?!

Nah!, i was still modding the file at the time, i have over 20 units with .tsv files for the whole Continental line army!!
I was adding an icon .tga file accidently to a mask.tga then the error occured??

EDIT: just spent 6 hours redoing the pack, lesson learned here always make a backup file!!

[Ahiga]

I was working on my mini mod, and for no apparent reason after I edited the battlefield_personalities file, now it brings up a generic Unhandled exception has occured whenever I try and click on:
unit_tables
unit_to_exclusive_faction_permission
unit_to_unit_abilities

Every other file loads without a problem. Any idea what could be causing this?

[hick09]

Will the creators of this modding toll plan to make any updates of it?

I'm working on a replacement for the db editor component. It takes a relational approach (like what you might get with MS Access, but not as generic). Columns that are IDRefs of ID columns in the same or other tables will be presented as combo boxes instead of free text entry. The tool still works out of pack files, and it takes it a bit further by reading all db files from all pack files and then trying to mirror the way that ETW gives the different pack types precedence. It supports showing individual tables within a db directory (i.e. both the vanilla one and any fragments provided by mods) as well as an aggregate view of each directory (i.e. what the tables look like after the game loads them). It may be a week or so until I finish it, though. I'm just posting this to tease you.

[hick09]

This is great news. And also, will new version open the file "groupformations.bin" form the "groupformations.pack". This file has bin tag. Maybe, manager allows to open this file. As far as I remember, for Medieval Total war exested string.bin converter, which transforms to txt large part of bin.files. It will very great, if manager will decive this problem.
