In need of unedited files (may get locked)

[Goofy]

Hi.
Could someone post his unedited export_descr_building.txt and export_descr_unit.txt files? I've unpacked my game but I'm not sure are those file valid (the game crashes), so I want ones that work. I need them for modding.
I want
-Vanilla,
-Americas,
-Crusades,
-Britannia and
-Teutonic
EDB and EDU
Thanks,
~FK

CTDs? Then delete these files:
data\descr_geography_new.txt
data\descr_geography_new.db

It doesn't matter me, the game I unpacked was copy of my M2TW - I have a lot of disk space.
I just wanted to test it.
But could you send those files to me as attachments?

It's against the forum rules to request or provide unedited files.

Try this instead. Open a text editor in a new document and add this into it:

unpacker.exe --source=..\..\packs\*.pack --destination=..\..\ --verbosity=1 --filter=export_descr_unit.txt

Put that in the \tools\unpacker folder and save it as custom_unpack.bat or w/e you want to call it. Run it and it should unpack the specified file in the filter. Just replace the file with the EDB instead and you should be fine.

If that doesn't work then try re-installing the game. And if it still doesn't work you might need to purchase a new copy, though that seems unlikely.

Sorry very much. I didn't know
OK, this may be locked/deleted.

I made it! Thank you very much.
Just replace ..\..\ with C:\M2TW\ or wherever you have installed the game.

I got a problem with the expansions, I place the right source but it doesn't unpack anything at all.
that's what I'm typing in the txt file and then save it as a .bat

unpacker.exe --source=C:\M2TW\mods\teuotnic\packs\*.pack --destination=C:\M2TW\teutonic --verbosity=1 --filter=export_descr_unit.txt

Any solution?

You spelled teutonic wrong in the source for one, try rectifying that and then see if it works.

@ FinnKing: Don't worry about it, I know it wasn't malicious. Now you know... and knowing... is half the battle.

GO JOE!

Nope, it didn't work, I've tried it even with crusades/americas and so on and none of them worked.

Are you putting the file in your M2TW\tools\unpacker folder? If not then it won't work since it has to call unpacker.exe from the same folder. I just ran it putting the text in above and it worked fine. To run it for Americas use this code(tested):

unpacker.exe --source=..\..\mods\americas\packs\*.pack --destination=..\..\ --verbosity=1 --filter=export_descr_unit.txt --base_pack_path=mods/americas/data/

The ..\ works relative to the unpacker directory, so there's no need for C:\ or anything like that, the above will unpack the EDU from americas into the americas data folder. All you have to replace is americas with the names of the other campaigns and it should work for them.

It worked, thank you very much, I didn't replace the ..\..\ with my M2TW folder and it unpacked it.
Thanks again, +rep.

edit: about britannia campaign, have I to type british_isles? 'cause that's the name of the folder.

Yeah, you want to use the name of the folder of the "mod".
