Unit limit for Royal Marines

**dd2877** · July 19, 2012, 02:57 AM

Hi all,

I have to say I am a noob when it comes to modding shogun 2 FOTS and I have search the forum for answers but none of the tutorial seemed to direct answer my question. So to all master modders your help here is highly appreciated.

Ok what I am trying to do is change the unit limit for the Royal Marines in the campaign game.

1. I used PFM 2.1.5 loaded up Patch16.pack and alter the unit limit located the units_tables from 3 to 0.
2. After which I backed up the original patch16.pack file and replace it with the modded one.
3. Loaded up the game and the cap/limit remains.
4. Tried the same thing on Patch15.pack the game just CTD on start up.

I am pretty sure there is something I am doing that is wrong, so again any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

guys/gals

No need to replace the original files (it's a really bad idea). Instead, copy the file you want (units) with folder structure and add it to a new .pack set as movie type. It should work over any vanilla patch.

Thanks a million Livebyte, saving the mod as movie absolutely solves the problem.

Ok now this might stretching it but I am trying to make the Royal Marines and the Infanterie de marine build-able via the bos_port_4_american_trading_district and I have edited building_units_allowed - version 2 to reflect that.

Unfortunuetly only the Infanterie de marine is showing up in the build option and it is greyed put hence not build-able. I will continue to experiment but any help is much appreciated.

Livebyte,
I don't know any other means of contacting you, so here we go:
Regarding your post on how to make cross-era naval warfare possible, how do we add a faction to the Boshin group?
And is there a way to mod this while keeping the multiplayer functional?

Strange place for that reply, heh. I answered in PM.

dd2877: The foreign units are controlled by scripts, they're not as easy to modify as other units. There are some scripts mods around that enable free recruitment for foreign units, but they'll require starting a new game to take effect.
