A program to edit files like EDU quickly?

[romy]

Hey guys ,

Can someone tell me a program to edit quickly for example unit sizes in the EDU?
TBH , I'm quite tired to change the unit sizes manually.:-)

There is none. This is one of the reasons why we've been screaming at CA to include official mod tools since Medieval 1.

As someone who does some programming (C#, some Java, Python, and some others). I'll have a look at the file later, to see whether it would be possible to make a program to edit it via a GUI .

I remember trying out a program someone wrote in the Mod Workshop to edit the EDU years ago. Not sure if it's still around though

You mean the Caligula Unit editor?

I do believe it's still available in the Downloads section of this site.

I cant remember what it was called. My total war downloads folder is so stuffed full of tools and files I've downloaded over the years, I doubt I could find it again

Hey , thanks for your replies guys. :-)
I thought something like Python could do this?

To Ceasar : You're maybe talking about this ? :http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=123505

It seems that it doesn't work or I just can't use it.. :-)

No I dont think that was it. But the name BrandonM does ring a bell

I use BrandonM's Total War Toolset, though I haven't tried messing with unit sizes (only things like upkeep cost, attack/defence stats, # of turns to recruit, etc. Basically everything else).
