BI stuff in RTW ???

**KALI** · February 16, 2006, 02:38 PM

I want to add shield walls and recruitable generals to RTW but can't seem to find a tutorial. Could someone help me out or possibly tell me where I can find this bit of info,
cheers

Shield wall cannot be added. Recruitable generals is easy, just add a recruitment line for each of the generals units in export_descr_building.txt in whichever building you want. Its that simple.

Cheers Lusted,
But I thought SPQR 6.0 and the RTW enhancement pack had added shield walls, schiltrons etc to RTW...???

**Lusted** · February 17, 2006, 04:14 AM

No. SPQR adds in Lts own shield wall, it replaces the loose formation for roman units.

I see,
so presumably the enhancement pack created its own schiltrons etc..?? or..??

**Lusted** · February 17, 2006, 04:30 AM

Im not sure about the enhancement pack, i haven't used it.

**wipeout140** · February 17, 2006, 04:31 AM

enhancement packed include some BI features as used -mod on BI exe to get the BI features on RTW

**Lusted** · February 17, 2006, 04:35 AM

Ah, so thats how it got it. But that mena syou can't ge them in normal RTW unless you have BI installed.

**wipeout140** · February 17, 2006, 04:39 AM

Correct you need BI installed as well as RTW

**KALI** · February 17, 2006, 04:43 AM

I thought that was the case and have BI installed. However I'm not sure what you mean when you say mod on BI exe.

Doh

Maybe what I should have asked, Is which files and folders I need to edit.

Double post merged. Please use the edit function in future.

the target line would be "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod but on BI i think

**Lusted** · February 17, 2006, 04:51 AM

The -mod is a command line you can add to the RTW or BI shortcut to make it look in a different folder for files. Im not sure how the enhancement pack uses it.

**wipeout140** · February 17, 2006, 04:55 AM

kali downloaded mod and then you can see how it works

**KALI** · February 17, 2006, 05:02 AM

Ermmm.. so,
I need to add -mod, to the BI shortcut target and presumably need to add a new file or edit a file somewhere. ????

I did download the mod and from a glance it wasn't obvious what needed to be done. But my skills are mostly graphical not text.
