    So you have this folder: ...\data\ui\unit_info
    but not this one?: ...\data\ui\units

    Try using this unpacking method.

    Hi, I've managed to unpack americas but there's no text folder. Is there a path to type in that will specifically get me the text folder?
    Thanks

    Did you check out the two links I posted in your other thread, the one specifically about the virtual store?

    No. Totally different format.

    Guys, this is great and everything, but once I have modded the files they do not take effect.

    Let me take you through what I am trying to do.

    I am trying to mod the names in the game from the "descr_names" file. Now, in Rome 1, there is no unpacking, so modding the names file takes immediate effect, but in medieval 2, modding it takes no effect. I presume this is because the game takes priority over the pack files and not the unpacked ones (as I think I read somewhere that the pack files make the game run faster) which is understandable.

    So here is my question. Can I so-called "re-pack" the pack file or can I make the files the priority and not the pack files?

    Thanks for the help.

    You're right, when modding the vanilla game you need to add [io] file_first = true to the medieval2.preferences.cfg file, and probably have to make it read-only or else the game will overwrite it.
