The latest version is compatible with ETW, NTW, TWS2, TWR2 and soon with TW Attila.

So I got the 1.7 Version of this since 1.8 doesn't work for me, and, as a test, I took the euro_ranger unit from the unit_stats_land_tables and made have 120 men, a flag bearer, and that they shoot improved grenades. Then I saved it to a mod called units, and went to mod manager and launched the units mod. I tried a battle with Mega-Rangers, and they were just the regular 80 men units who shoot small shot with no bearer. Where did I miss something? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

No clue but glad to see traces of a human in here. Do you know if DBEditor needs to be used in conjugation with a PFM or not?

[orhan59]

i can't find dlc units in dbeditor, where can i find them ?

[EarningAttorney]

I can't get my changes to take affect, am I missing something?

[Beppelascar]

Can you give naval ships explosive projectiles with this? I have tried giving Naval guns howitzer/mortar projectiles, or making naval cannon round shot explode, and i tried putting all mortars as the cannon types on a steamship but none of these seem to work in-game please help!!

[Beppelascar]

anytime i make a change to the tables (im changing cannon types on ships) and i save the changes when i go into game nothing has changed not visually nor has the firepower of the ships changed

In case it is useful, here's the last version of the DB Editor.
Whilst the Pack File Manager supplanted it, I find DB Editor more pleasant to work with, and probably many think the same.

I didn't make, nor edit it in any manner, therefore, all credits to the original makers, notably LtChambers !

Hi guys... Can someone help me. I used to successfully change the DB tables of Units_stats on units for Empire Total War. But lately all my DB-Editors seem to crash and sends me this message...

This table has an unexpected format. It may have changed in the most recent update.

Hi. There is a very important question - is it possible with this program, DBEditor in Napoleon Total war to change the size of the Treasury in custom battles for 14000 too little even to elementary to gain 20 units?

[ultenhiemer]

Hi there,

So I'd like to remove the unit limits on some units in Darthmod... But I am having problems actually doing that. I tried asking on the Darthmod section but no one actually helped... At all :/

See with DBEditor I managed to change the unit limits fine with all the vanilla patch.pack(s) by editing them and then one by one cutting and pasting them onto the desktop so I can edit the others without interferance. Yet when playing Darthmod those changes were never really reflected and the unit limits remained.

So going back to DBEditor I looked into the DME_darthmod.pack. In the unit tables section there were several unit files compared to vanilla's just one. Yet none of those files could be opened, with DBEditor saying that they have no recognised table type (Or something like that) and nothing would be displayed, except the table categories at the top everything else was grey.

So another search lead me to PackFileManager, an apparent earlier incarnation of DBEditor. I tried to open those unit tables again using that but it threw up some garbage about being disabled and that it is superceded by DBEditor and to use that instead (Then why still provide the download if it cant be used)... Yet those unit tables in DME_darthmod.pack wont open in DBEditor anyway. I tried to download an earlier version of PackFileManager too so that I can dodge the superceded garbage... But then I got another message saying that it can't update its version and to use the local files instead... Ok... I still couldn't open anything.

So at this point I want to ask, is removing the unit limits in Darthmod just a lost cause? Or is there an alternate solution I could try? Is there any other software that could be used that I haven't considered?

If that's not helping, the problem lays with the Darthmod files.

Welcome to TWC and sorry for the late reply.

I have got back into empire total war and download db editor whilst editing i noticed that the elite units of the east and elite units of america units are missing in the db editor. i have done the usual of uninstalling the game and installing and same for db editor. i do remember the original db editor layout was different and this was not an issue. if there a corrected version with the full unit list?

[Robleau2]

Is there any way to use DB 1.8 to change the number of units you can recruit? Currently playing Rise of the Republic and I find I can only recruit 4 Regiments of elite Highland Troops. I would like to increase this to 10/12 if possible to reflect the reality of Highland Regiments in the British Army. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

No. The problem are not the DME files, instead it is of not using PFM 1.5.9.
