    Default EMPIRE TOTAL FACTIONS...... (Last updated 17/08/2011)

    Empire: Total Factions 2

    ETF is a combination of the several startpos mods that make playable all factions in Early (normal), Late and Warpath campaigns. With ETF you can play as any faction with a couple of clicks, without replacing, copying or deleting any files. Moreover the mod use it's own folder and do not overwrite any of your vanilla files. When you run ETF 2 the mod graphical user interface is appeared:



    Here you can choose to play:

    1. Early Campaign with all factions playable.

    2. Late Campaign with all factions playable.

    3. Warpath Campaign with all factions playable including emergent.

    4. Any emergent in Early or in Late Campaign (select Early or Late radio button under Emergent button and then hit Emergent).



    In 2.1 version Options page has removed while a new one (emergent on Early Campaign) has been added. The content of Options has been relocated in the new menu bar of the mod added some more useful futures:

    1. File: easy access of user script and preferences files, as well as save game folder.
    2. AI: Enabe or Disable mod's CAI and BAI.
    3. Actions: Check Files and Restore utilities. Check Files will find all files (if any) that are not vanilla or they do not belong to ETF mod. After version 2.1 no further action is being taken. If you want to remove any of these files found by utility, you have to do it manually. Restore removes any mod files (ETF only) and restores any vanilla files that have temporarily removed for running ETF. Have in mind that it wil restore any startpos and scripting files it finds in main with vanilla. Check Files and Restore Vanilla can help you with a messy game's installation.
    4. More Content: Vae Victi's campaign is an early all playable campaign with some additional changes he has made to some of the minor nations making them more playable. Details here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...09#post8162209
    5. Help: a general troubleshooter with some typical hep menu items.

    Update History:

    version 2.1

    * New launcher, more friendly.
    * All emergent now available in Early Campaign.

    Previous versions:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    version 2.0

    * New launcher.
    * Options page added with useful utilities.
    * Early Campaign by Vae victis.
    * New CAI and BAI.
    * Emergent files reworked in an attempt to solve the bug that changes randomly the units in a city garrison.
    * FoW in emergent is back.
    * All DLCs are supported in Late Campaign's mods.
    * Animations improved thanks to tiyafeh's mod. Now officers point in the battlefield, or look through telescope etc. instead of staying still. Also man_musket_sabre animations changed so when charging and in melee some of the men will use sabres and others will use muskets.
    * Historical mini maps (thanks to jarnomiedema's mod).
    * Sottish unit limits removed.
    * Colombia religion buildings issue fixed.

    * Scripting.lua has been reworked by Rizz. Now only when player plays as one of the 3 American protectorates the handover is disabled. If he plays as one of the European patrons missions will be there.
    * The church fix for Mexico and Quebec is included in main mod pack.
    * Scottish units assigned to... Scotland and their recruitment limits have been removed.

    Did you edit user.empire_script? If it is not showed up after you choose the mod to play that means that you have not one and you have to make it. Open notepad and save an empty txt file as user.empire_script.txt in C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts (That's for Vista and Windows 7).

    I have exactly the same problem. Even after I edited the user.empire_script and added "mod ETF.pack;"
    Anyone?

    Have you installed the mod in the right location ((HD):\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war)? Is there ETF.pack present in your games data dierectory, after you have tried to play it and you didn't? If everything seems fine but you still have the problem, try to make ETF.pack movie type:

    Open [ETW]\data\ETF\ETF.pack with Pack File Manager. Click on Choose a Pack Action and mark movie. Save as ETF.pack in your desktop. Then take it and copy back in [ETW]\data\ETF replacing the older ETF.pack. Try again. No it does not matter if you edit user script, since the ETF.pack file is now a "movie" type and the game will be forced to load it.

    I dont know why but when I make my selection, my game starts to load, but it does not even start. In your intructions it says, "After your selection the user script file will be appeared. There you have to add the following command:" The iuser script does not show up for me. Please help....

    It seems that you have not a user.empire_script.txt file. Make one with notpad (blank) and save it with that name in C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts\ for Vista and Win7.

    Have you installed the mod in the right place: ...\empire total war\ directory?
