Empire Mod Questions & Recommendations

[l33tl4m3r]

emm.. i have checked that mod and it looks great and very well but the thing is im not that good with this overplacing files and stuff and i couldnt do all the other replacing stuff can any one put up a more complete exact guide? sorry if this causes trouble for anyone...

There is no trouble at all!

The install program will ask you to over-write the files; simply make a backup of your ..\campaigns\main\ folder before you install!

You can copy the files from that folder to your desktop for safe-keeping!

Then run the installer and let it take care of the rest!

Same for me, please take a look at it, Oby!

Btw., why are Grenadiers and Line Infantry together in one unit?

[Oby]

Nice Use of Pictures there mate!

+rep.

Good for you!

(which one do I prefer? its a toss up between 19, and 14.)

...thank's...same to you for your exelent sound mod...(btw,I prefer the 18th,but I can upload some more,if you want)

...redcoats are awesome,when they line up and fire althogether...

...the file is meant to be extracted with winzip...anyway I uploaded .rar pack of the same file...it should work now...

Nice! Compatible with Darthmod?

...unfortunately the mod is not compatible with other mods which are dealing with db data base and battle personalities...so are darthmod,is-mod and others...it's for vanilla version,but it CAN be inserted in those mods and any ai-mod manualy--->requires to modify files of ai-mod,vith values in kneel-mod...compatibility with grafical mods is not the problem...

Btw., why are Grenadiers and Line Infantry together in one unit?

...this is just for demonstrating purposes,you can use KL-unit with regular infantry as long they don't rank fire(in early period)...


--if there are any other installation problems let me know ..we'll find the solution--

[Lothar135]

This really looks fantastic! I am only affraid it will be too easy to destroy opponents army with this little addon, because AI will simply not use it or use it properly (am I right?). Anyway, great mod!

[Oby]

Lothar you are right about AI,but on the other side the mod is a player faction specific mod(originaly brittish)...we could just say that the brittish infantry tactic is a little different from others(or supperior to if you want) ...

...btw,you can add KL-unit to any faction that you want to play in campaign(can help with that,if someone want)

[Lord Philip]

Nice mod

I'll just ask how you got 2 flags in one regiment, please reply

Regards Lord Philip

So you suggest that only thing we have to do is to backup \campaigns\main\ folder, unzipp the file of AETI in to \campaigns\main\ folder (not in buckup folder of course ) and we are ready to go? What about replacing scripting.lua and startpos.esf files, Mod Manager and things like that? How are you going to lunch E:TW without Mod Manager? By clicking on the original lunch button?

I must say I miss the old installation methods for the MTW mods, where you load a file - than extract the file - file was directet in a separate folder (without replacing anything in the the original files) and with the new lunch on the desktop (like a SS mod for MTW). When you were bor with the mod then you could easy uninstall the mod with a single click, and then try the new mod.

Hi I would like to use this mod playing as Saxony and from what I understand it's only for the Brittish atm? how would I go about setting it up for Saxony?

thanks

[Oby]

well,there's actualy three units acting like one regiment....behind KL-unit(with flagbearer removed) are two units of grenadiers with two flagbearars--that's why there are two flags...there's a lot of possibilities...

see the screenshots,they're showing us that with kneel-mod we actualy command two units(or more) in one regiment and each of them we control separately...non rank-fire unit(or two if you like) behind KL-unit...it's a little difficult at firs but it has some great effects,like more firepower and visual satisfaction..

[Dr. Croccer]

So... this doesn't mod the rank fire? It just adds a kneeling unit?

...quite easy,if you know how to work with PFM Editor(thanks to Matt Chambers and others for this wonderful editor)...

...first open mod_kneel with PFM,go to units_to_exclusive_faction_permissions_tables,open units_to_exclusive_faction_permissions,find euro_kneel_infantry on the end of the column and change her faction IDref to Saxony...

...I assume that you already has Saxony playable as I don't know if it is enabled in vanilla...

Thanks a lot and yes Saxony is playable as I'm using IS.

NP,please let me know how it works...I just check it,and yes saxony is playable...never know that, despite that I'm using IS too...could be that I play brittish to much...

jascko - Yes, I also miss the days of not having to replace vanilla files but due to the way CA has handled some of these files, notably the startpos.esf and scripting.lua, we cannot load certain files into a pack file and had ETW load them.

To answer your question; yes, simply bak up the main folder and fun the APE: TI installer and you start ETW as normal!

To uninstall the mod you would ismply copy the 4 labeled files out of your data folder and replace your backups!

Any mods that remove the bearskin grenadiers for the british and replace them with mitre wearing ones?

[Irishguard22]

thank you so much for the help and the mod works great with IS but i was just wondering if your gonna make it compatible with other mods, say for instance Darthmod or must we manually do that?

[Oby]

...I really have no experience with Darthmod,cause I'm devoted to Quixote's Imperial Splendour...I have modified IS files with TROM and tigt formations,some sound changes and sfx...and for MOD_KNELL yes,it's probably the best way to manualy insert it in any other mod...there's so many of them already ...
