DBE 1.8 changes not being saved

[werawulf]

I am using DBE 1.8 and am trying to change unit sizes, I have modified patch 4 and 5 seperately and together, and although changes are appearing in the files they are not showing up in-game. I bet I am missing something very simple that only a noob would screw up right?

Thanks for the help in advance

Have you created your own .pack file? If you just edit the patch.pack files themselves the edits won't be put in game.

ChazB-
Lets say you want to edit the unit_stats_land_table. So you select it, once highlighted you select file, then select where it says "New unit_stats_land_table". Once selected a box should pop up with a few options in them one of them should be a round seltor box with a typing box next to it that read in order "New pack file:" then "new.pack", change the name of the "new.pack" file to whatever you want such as "ChazB.pack" and save.
So you have accomplished 2 things, 1 you didnt edit any main CA files and now you edit your very own unit_stats_land_table and have the original for a backup just in case, and you made your vary own pack file

P.S. ive heard through the grapevine that in order for your mod to work you need to keep your new unit_stats_land_table the same name as the original
