Goutlard's Fixed Firing Drills and Infantry Formations

**Goutlard** · May 22, 2015, 01:51 PM

It depends, if that mod changes firing drills for all units it definitivelly won't be. But if it only sets the base units to the one-rank fire, all units but the ones Ornamentum adds will have all soldiers shooting.

Well, it's not hard to change the firing drills. With the DB Editor make it so that units all have the Skirmish ability (units_stats_land) and remove the fire by rank/platoon (unit_to_unit_abilities_junction) fire ability

I already have plenty of work to do and cannot modify that yet.

Thanks and your mod has been excellent it feels like even the weaker units have a chance against the stronger one due to the impact of the volleys as usually my militia would run away easily but they stay this time also I am surprised CA didn't even think of your firing drill in the first place as your is mod so much fun you.

Thanks for the help though will be even better now cheers and it works too.

Hello sir!

First of all thanks for your hard work!

Iv been looking for a mod that removes fire by rank/platoon firing. But I'm not keen on adding skirmish fire or messing about with how far the distance of soldiers stand apart, is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Seriously this mod is the best thing to ever happen as I just had some seriously brutal battles against the Martha Confederacy as the British they were near run things as I tried helping out the Mughals to prevent the conquest of all of India by the Martha, they kept on sending troops over and over against me in the battle and my veteran soldiers from Europe almost got wiped out as they were reinforcements during the battle to my fresh EIC army but managed to hold on enough until the company soldiers on the other side of the map won their battle then helped them out so for now I am taking break those battles were stressful.

Hey, Goutlard. Great Mod. But can you please disable the projectile trails? Been playing this with darthmod for months now and i'm always turned off by those damn trails. So is there a way you could remove them?

But do you know how to use this mod with Darthmod without lowering the unit size? I can't keep my normal DM unit size currently.

**shogunwhae** · September 20, 2015, 01:12 PM

Yeah, what Kooperrider said, it lowers my unit sizes, what exactly does your mod have that changes the drills? Because when i compare vanilla to this mods drill column in db editor the stats are the same (infrantry_line). I plan to add this to all the units darthmod brings and fixing the lowering unit sizes

If you could create such a fix, I'd be most appreciative if you would pass it on.

the files are too big to upload

ill explain the way i did it.
I have DME with the AUM pack and ornamentum units, i used DBeditor to open 3 files at the same time, DME_AUM,DME_darthmod,DME_unitspack. i copied the units_abilities_tables from goutlard pack (using dbeeditor too) and pasted it in the unit_abilities_tables of 3 dme files. Then just modify the unit_stats_land_tables ( for me it's a big list ) and what you want to modify here is a column that says "Can skirmish" it's all the way to the right, then just type "true" for the units you want.

Tested it in battle and seems to work, im sure there was an easier way but with my poor english and the lack of modding i coulnd't figure better.
(your units abilities tables should look like my pic)
