All Factions Mod for RTW 1.5- By Hader

This is a mod that will unlock all factions for an unmodded RTW vanilla 1.5 game. It not only unlocks all factions, but it gives them leader pics, faction descriptions and faction maps. Please read the readme below for more details. I will also submit this in the downloads section, but I would some feedback first. Hope you enjoy!

All Factions Mod for RTW 1.5 by Hader

This mod very simply unlocks all factions for use in RTW vanilla version 1.5. Unlocking all factions
for 1.5 is not as easy as it is for other vanilla versions of RTW, so I have made this to make it easier
for anyone to do this.

This mod will do many things:
-It will unlock all factions and make them playable in the Imperial Campaign
-It gives each faction leader pics, faction descriptions, and maps of their territories

-IMPORTANT NOTE: The SPQR faction does not have the leader pics, map or description, but it does work in the campaign. Remember though, SPQR
is a buggy faction, so dont be too surprised if a CTD or something occurs. Also, do not click on the Senate Offices tab when playing SPQR, as
that will result in a CTD.

Now, these leader pics, faction descriptions, some text files and territory maps are not made by me. They were made by a
very talented modder who did a mod like this one for version 1.2. So, I credit him for his work on all of this. I have also included the readme
from his 1.2 mod at the bottom of this readme.



Credits: -Me, Hader, for making this mod
-The creator of the 1.2 mod, Luvian, for all of his work that I used with this mod. Wouldn't have been possible without him. Big thanks!
-Lusted for guiding me through some of the proccesses
-HMMcKamikaze for testing it

Contact me through Total War Center with any questions.


Here is the full version of the readme from Luvian's All Factions mod for 1.2.

Completed Factions MOD version 1.2 By Luvian and jpinard

What does this mod do?

This mod is an upgrade of the "Play as any faction mod" that simply unlocked every factions.

You might have noticed that apparently, RTW wasn't totally completed.
Of all the playable factions, only the 3 roman ones have a picture of their leader in the faction selection screen.
Of all the locked faction, 2 have a description and no map, while all the other ones have both no map and description. All
factions without description also had their name as "imperial_campaign" in their description box.
There is also traces of a campaign called "Caesar in Gaul" in the game files, but this mod wont touch that.

This mod try to fix those problems. Now all factions have a map, description and a leader portrait.


"To do" list:

- Try fixind the Senate Faction

Progress:

1.2
-New better maps added by ngr

1.1
-Missing Factions Descriptions added by jpinard

0.2
- All maps are now "glowing"

0.1
- Every factions now have a leader pic.
- I made a map for every factions that didn't have one.
- I fixed the name of every factions in their description box.
- I added a description for Armenia from what I could find on the net.
- I Made some research on Dacia, but information on the post Roman province and before 270 B.C. Are almost non-existant. I found some information in the Romanian travel guide.
- The Numidian of 270 B.C. were in a civial war but in the game they are not... I don't what to make of their description.

Credits:
I wasn't the first to figure out how to unlock all faction. I don't know who did, but thanks to them.
Most of my information on Dacia came from the Romanian Travel guide I found online.
jpinard made most of the factions descriptions.
ngr gave us those awesome official look alike maps.

Now that I thin of it I probably should have put this somewhere else. Can somone move it to the appropriate forum?

[Fallenonez]

I was looking for one for 1.5


THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

[John I Tzimisces]

TWC downloads seems to be the right place for this.

Woooosh!

Moved.

[Hader]

Lol, guess what? I have to download my own mod (this mod) for my own use for RTW on my laptop! Haha! I need it to play as Thrace while im on vacation.

Also, does anyone else have any comments on it? Who has used it?

[Gaius Baltar]

Great work Hadar!

1. IM working with the RTW/BI install. Will your mod work here, or do I need a seperate RTW install? Does that make sense?

[Hader]

Having BI should affect it at all, so you can just install over vanilla 1.5.

And you spelled my name wrong......

[SlightHope]

I recently installed the Completed Factions MOD version 1.2 By Luvian and jpinard , which I think is great, and found some problems and fixes. I'm using Vanilla R:TW 1.5.

Gaul, Germania, and the Greek Cities were missing the leader pics. These and all SPQR problems are because of some naming errors. Hader mentioned problems with his SPQR descriptions too so this should help him as well. Go into Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign and change the following files:
leader_pic_gaul.tga --> leader_pic_gauls.tga
leader_pic_german.tga --> leader_pic_germans.tga
leader_pic_illyria.tga --> leader_pic_greek_cities.tga
leader_pic_senate.tga --> leader_pic_romans_senate.tga

To fix the SPQR description change the following:
In Data\lookup_campaign_descriptions.txt
IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SENATE_TITLE --> IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ROMANS_SENATE_TITLE
IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SENATE_DESCR --> IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ROMANS_SENATE_DESCR

In Data\text\campaign_descriptions.txt
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SENATE_TITLE} --> {IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ROMANS_SENATE_TITLE}
{IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_SENATE_DESCR} --> {IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_ROMANS_SENATE_DESCR}

The only other problem I experienced is in overwriting descr_strat.txt with the one given in the install. This made it so that whenever I tried to start a new campaign I was forced back to the menu. The new descr_strat.txt is 130 kb while if you change the playable factions yourself it's 123. I don't know what they added, just make a backup of the file before installing and rewrite the overwrite and change factions yourself to avoid this problem.

I'm sorry if I put this in the wrong place. I didn't know where else to put it.

Umm...are you saying you did this for 1.2?

[SlightHope]

I used 1.2 of the mod. I'm running RTW 1.5. Thought I mentioned that already. I found jpinard's mod before I found yours so it's what I used. You wrote "The SPQR faction does not have the leader pics, map or description" so I think what I posted can still help with your updated 1.5 mod... maybe. Worked for me.

I just didnt include the Senate because they are a very buggy faction, and I dont think players will want to have to deal with all the bugs that come with the Senate. IF a player watns to however, they can unlock the Senate themselves.

[SlightHope]

Oh, I see. Understandable. Even with the fixes to jpinard's mod, the senate doesn't have an actual discription. Instead he posted the following warning.

Warning!
This faction was never meant to be played and was only included due to popular demand. Play at your own risk...
Clicking on the Senate offices list button will crash the game. Clicking on the senate tab will also crash the game. Destroying the Senate is obviously impossible, so it might be impossible to win the game...

I only fixed the description and pic myself for the sake of aesthetics.

[gimpe]

theres probably no one out there thatll answer this but i rly like the look of the mod but how am i supposed to play without it forcing me back to campaign screen? i put all the files where im supposed to but should i overwrite the vanilla descr.strat with the all factions one?

[Phunkracy]

Same 'bout me! Hader, please help!

Just edit your descr_strat, Numidia is fully playable.
