Editing Unit Information

[afghan_hillmen]

I was wondering how on earth you edit each units specific information. ie the information you get when you right click on the unit card. A tutorial on this subject would be greatly appreaciated!!!

download the pack file manager

make a new version of the "patch_en.pack" (save as, and make it something else. tampering with it will break your game)

so, my_mod_en.pack;
text
localization
scroll down til you find "unit_description_texts_long_description_(unit name)"
(bear in mind that this might change the info for all factions that are allowed to recruit the unit.)


I made a new unit for my description, but it MAY do the same thing to yours. after I edited it there was no picture in the in-game unit background.

Jinarik suggests changing the pack type in your my_mod pack to movie. that means that the game will automatically load it, you won't need to think about it.

here's his excellent tutorial for quick and dirty unit manufacturing.

scroll to the bottom of the tutorial and you will see the part about the pfm.

hope this helps.
