Unit and Country Descriptions...

[blazeftp]

Hi i am working on fixing Ludos Scotland Mod

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=292637


I have done a lot of work and managed to get it to work with 1.6



The problems and whats still to be done.



First off all of the custom units don't have names ,descriptions but they do in the pack.pack file ?



How do i give them names and description ?

Same with Scotland at the Campaign menu ?



Also 2 of the units "Clansmen"[Melee Unit] and one of the new units "Highland warband" [Melee unit]

after a while they just disappear ? i have changed there max recruit able to 0 ? so you can have many as you want but it didn't work for these 2 units ?
Think its happening when barracks get upgrade ?



Also i cant edit the DB/Faction Tables ? any reason for this ? i have to change b5 and b6 in order to make Scotland Blue instead of Black ?

After this little task i can Re Release the mod for other user to enjoy this new campaign !

Hi,
Unitnames and descriptions have to be placed in the localication.
Make the units for the following military buildings (after the barracks) available
Check also if you made it early or late available , and maybe bound to a technology

Generally use the Ludo's fiules as a guide. As mentioned in the post above, units names and discr. are added to localisation.loc. For every unit you should make three entries, one for the name and two for short and long descriptions. Look Ludo's or vanilla entries to see the syntax. Remember that you have to make a new one based on the latest patch_en.pack/loclisation.loc or you'll get ctd.

Same with Scotland at the Campaign menu ?

Same here check in _loc for faction on scrren name for Scotland.

Also 2 of the units "Clansmen"[Melee Unit] and one of the new units "Highland warband" [Melee unit]
after a while they just disappear ? i have changed there max recruit able to 0 ? so you can have many as you want but it didn't work for these 2 units ? Think its happening when barracks get upgrade ?

As mentioned above you have to determine in which buildings (every one) will be allowed recruitment.

Also i cant edit the DB/Faction Tables ? any reason for this ? i have to change b5 and b6 in order to make Scotland Blue instead of Black ?

Faction table can not be opened with PFM since it is older version. Make a new one from patch.pack. For colors see my tutorial here in 1.e and 2.a. Also there you'll find other useful infos.

[Edit] no matter got it

Right done everything but the loclisation.loc

What would be the best way to do this ?

I have the loclisation.loc from ludos mod and the one from patch_en

What i was going to do was get the text from patch_en then copy it onto the end of ludos mod ?
Would this work if so how do i do it ?

Just right the opposite. You will copy from Ludo's to the new text pack you'll make and will be based on patch_en. I don't know what is gonna happen if you copy all entries. The right thing is to copy only the entries that Ludo has made or changed for his mod.

took about an hour to convert the patch_en to be compatable with ludos scot_loc then when i go to save PMF crashes !

Nope just comes up with error

[husserlTW]

Try this version pf PFM.

[blazeftp]

Tried that took the file from patch_en untouched opened scot_loc and replaced the file and saved as scot_loc 1

Now i have edited the Scot_loc 1 and it wont save........
Its driving me crazy as it takes an hour to edit all the files !




!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems everytime i try to edit the files using Pmf it will crash even thow its a new file.

All i want to do is take the patch_en loclisation.loc and then add on ludos parts to it from his loclisation.loc

Copy the entries from old loc that Ludo has made or changed in a spread sheet and upload it here.
