Find a mod for the demo historical battle so we can mod in our units and enemies like M2TW demo.

NICE!

**Sebastos Abdes Pantera** · February 22, 2011, 11:51 AM

Sounds good! Does this mean that it is more moddable than previously thought?

**The Hedge Knight** · February 22, 2011, 11:52 AM

Nope he doesnt have a clue yet...

Wait a few days then we will know. Locs are the same though.

We will need to adapt pfm on sh2, however yes, will be moddable, and I will be able to balance the game to set the rules in mp..... no rules..... =)

.pack file format is identical, so all tools work straight away

.esf is slightly different but all our tools are already updated to handle it

db formats are only slightly different (guid instead of integer for version number),
so updating tools should be relatively straightforward.

Many minor formats look the same or very similar.

S2TW will be way more moddable on the day of its release than
ETW was a year after its release.

Theres already a few V2 file types I see for existing files types from NTW. Waaay to early to tell yet. Kinda pointless making a thread for this for something you can't even know yet.

Pfm olpens the packs and some files fine right now sean...

I wonder if it will be possible to remove the scripting from the demo battles and just let the ai use its own skills. That way we might get a idea how good it is.

**.Mitch.** · February 22, 2011, 01:05 PM

I'm looking at the scripting from the campaign you get. Some of it is quite interesting and some leads me to think I can get a bit more life out of the campaign. I'll know more when I'v actualy played the campaign.

**Ballacraine** · February 22, 2011, 01:08 PM

That sounds interesting & promising.

Balla.

I feel modding a game is kinda lika a frog:
First you play with it and have a little fun with it. THEN you disect it and start poking around hoping to inprove it to a Frog 2.0

Indeed. Let's see what the modders will do with this game.
I know how hard it is mates, much respect!

And Sean Cappone good news, + rep mate.
