Unlocking minor factions problem!

**Handyheath** · July 17, 2009, 04:57 PM

I have a problem trying to unlock minor factions. So far i've tried all the faction unlock mods i can find including the starpos.esf from Imperial Splendour but everytime i put them in my data folder and launch the game, none of the factions are unlocked.

The Mods im using are:

- Blood mod from BSM
- Realistic flag set v1.2
- Proper militia mod V1.3
- Darth Mod
- Additional Units Mod for darthmod.

None of the mods show any conflicts in the mod manager and i dont get ctd's when i try to play even with the modified starpos installed. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks.

I know for certain the first three dont conflict , Unlocking the minor factions only effects the starpos file so you must have a conflict within that file , try getting hold of a fresh starpos and use this unlocker......http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=262048 hope this helps..

Ok thanks but logically would i really need a clean starpos? Since if i download and install a modded one then it replaces whatever file is there be it a fresh one or an already modded one. Im downloading the one in the link you sent me and will test it tomorrow.

Thanks for the help.

Ive been having the same damn problem.

From your first post it sounds like you put the startpos file in etw/data. It goes in the 'main' folder. IS mod works fine with minors .

ive been putting it in main.

i think darth and minor thing doesn't work together.

Yea i have been putting it in my data folder since thats where my vanilla starpos was. Ill try it in main.

Edit: tried it in main and no change.

Use a working startpos and unlock only the faction you want to play:

Open startpos.esf and find PLAYERS_ARRAY of the faction, in CAMPAIGN_PLAYERS_SETUP/PLAYERS_ARRAY/PLAYERS_ARRAY. You can see which place it is, in the list in the black table under the first spoiler here.
In PLAYERS_ARRAY/CAMPAIGN_PLAYERS_SETUP change the False of the second line to True. Do the same in CAMPAIGN_ENV/CAMPAIGN_SETUP, there is also there a PLAYERS_ARRAY. And for last time do the same in CAMPAIGN_MODEL/WORLD/FACTION_ARRAY/FACTION/CAMPAIGN_PLAYERS_SETUP. In the tutorial I linked above you can find more informations about minor changes in startpos.esf like starting money, etc. If you have any questions post them to the startpos tutorial thread.
