How to remove fire by rank and change unit names

**Ænema** · October 29, 2009, 07:02 PM

Can anyone tell me how?

I am using DB editor and playing with darthmod. I want to remove fire by rank and change the unit names (IE: Dragoons to Policemen. General's Bodyguard to General's Staff)

Well I know you can change unit names in patch_en/text/localisation.loc.

How do I find that file via DB editor?

You actually need to use the Pack File Manager 1.12 for that.

Got it. How do I specify my saved game?

Well you open or edit your save game with the ESF Editor 1.4.5.

What about fire by rank?

In "unit_to_unit_abilities_table" take out lines that have your unit and "rank_fire" in them.

I can't edit anything, it keep giving me an error "Unhandled excepton has occurred."

change it to mass_fire instead, you cannot have an empty field.

If you are editing CA's packs then uncheck "read only" from the file menu.

Oh OK Now I got it. Do I just remove it and leave it blank or do I replace it with anything? Fire volley?

Now I crash to desktop when I start up.

Screw it - I changed it to fire volley and it still says/does rank fire.

I give up

Fire by rank is considered an upgrade to fire volley - therefore if you research it, it will replace it

Problem is I have researched all technologies. Heh I'm about 200+ turns into my game (around 1860).

not sure if there is anything you can do then...

Moved to the Miscellaneous section of the Mod Workshop.

I also have this problem. I did this on my last mod, it worked perfectly but when I try it now it wont work! I also tried to replace "light infantry drill" with "line infantry drill" but it dident work either...

Am I doing anything wrong?
