How to change the weapons range in ETW

[p.jakub88]

I. Introduction.

This is my second tutorial on TWCenter forum.

I would like to write a short tutorial that explains how to change the default vanilla range of weapons.

Most of units in ETW use range weapons, so it is possible to change their range.

The range values of weapons are held in patch.pack files.

The range is of course in meters.

Important: Make a backup of patch.pack file before any changes!!

===============================================================================================================================

II. Main part.

1) Download the Pack File Manager ( not the newest, the older 1.13 beta).

2) Open the patch.pack file with PFM.

3) Find this table : projectiles.

4) Find the column range.

5) Change the values.

6) Save the changes, save as "movie" pack type.

7) Launch ETW!

Note:

A specific unit use a specific weapon.

Like basic line infantry use one type of musket.

Now you could change every weapons range from bows to naval cannons and more.

===============================================================================================================================

III. Summary.

If the changes were made in proper way, your game will be working without CTD or any problems.

Any feedback will be appreciated!
