Oh, my mistake... i downloaded it and i will try it... That post was to ask which is better PFM or DB Editor??? i feel db editor is an powerfull tool...

Yes, i tried those files, works pretty good...
But the thing is that i used DB Editor 1.8 and somehow i found it more powerful, flexible and clear than PCM...
So, can anyone please make a tutorial using DB Editor. Would really be helpful to me... Thanks in advance...

With Regards...

Here is the only one I know of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbG4q2NCuS8 but I couldn't get this to work myself, and others say to just use PFM but I can't use that either because of the "Superceded by DBEditor" message.

I have a problem - I can not edit using the DB Editor 1.8 files *. Packs.
Long ago, even as I had Windows XP, you could easily edit yourself even using PackFileManager (current version 1.12 sends a link to the DB Editor).
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or maybe you can not edit the files *.
Of course I have installed Framework 4.5.

Why do you only see the three files?



When a directory is more?

[Pirxeus]

You can edit patch4.pack, patch5.pack, patch_pl.pack. Implementation of these three files changes (tab -> Unit_Limit = 0) to have unlimited number of units

such as pirates - does not work! So the game loads and works in the other files patch.pack, patch2.pack and patch3.pack entries in the relevant lines of

code. Therefore, my file changes: patch4.pack, patch5.pack, patch_pl.pack - do not work.
Or maybe I'm wrong?

The introduction of changes in the number of units, such as pirates:



No recruit more units:

I believe that patchX corresponds to the different updates of ETW. What you should to do is to create your own packfile (based on most recent version of pack), and then create a notepad file, called "user.empire_script". Inside, type

mod "mymod.pack";

. Now, where to put that file? Don't ask me really. It was a headache to find out back then, and I couldn't find it again while writting this post. I believe it is somewhere in the users folder, but I don't remember more precisely. You can find exact location on some tutorial, though exact folder depends on your windows version. If you want to edit again, you need to load both the patchX file and your moded version (the patch is your reference, and the file from which you copy the part of tables you need).

This allows to keep vanilla files as is, so no need to ever reinstall because you've messed something... Which you will likely, at some point.

I know - Thank you
