Have Anybody With Itching Modding Hands Opened R2TW's Data Packs?

[weirdoascensor]

If my memory serves me right, some of Shogun2 first mods are made even before The Game itself was released, based on the Demo...

So, did anybody peeked into the data of R2TW using older PFM?
The simple ability to Extract and Insert itself should open some modding possibilities...

Furthermore, some simpler db tables may be even unchanged from the older Warscape games (There are some tables unchanged from ETW-NTW-S2TW)

...Ah, Me myself will not even be able to touch it until November or so...but I can say Simple mods like Recolors, Names, Cards, Textures, Unit Variant, Icons, Buttons, Unit Multiplier, Projectile Trails, Particle Effects, Campaign Effects and Bonuses, Diplomatic Values, Campaign AI Variables, Battlefield Variables, Unit Speed and Mass, shall appear in matter of days or weeks...

...Well, I believe TWC toolmakers like Daniu, taw, husserlTW, and T.C are maybe even already started working on new community modding tools...

Looks like Radious already started...I wonder what things stays similar with Shogun 2...

Anyone is working on updating PFM? I checked gamming files and they are same pack types formats as are used in Shogun 2. So maybe are tools can be updated quickly. Any toolmaker present?

Ah, Projectile Trails are toggleable in Options menu - No need for modding...

For the projectile trails - there is actually in option in the battle menu (in-game) for turning on/off projectile trails.

However, There seems to be problems in increasing unit size through unit multlipliers in preferences script....

[Radious]

Yes, i hope PFM will get quick update, from what i saw it should not be hard unless CA prepared some tricks for us. :-)

[T-Duke]

Radious our eyes and hopes are on you now I'm also longer for a compatible PFM as soon as possible ...

[weirdoascensor]

Radious, are these still unchanged?

Are animations still in .txt?

Do the engine/artillery rigidmodels still rigid_model_v2? or is it already rigid_model_v3?

Can you open unit_variant? I'm curious.

which of the relatively simple db tables have changed?
_kv tables
battle_entities (unit speed and mass)
building_effects_junction
campaign_ai tables
campaign_variables
cdir tables
diplomacy and diplomatic tables
effect tables
faction_uniform_colours
gun_types
names tables
projectile_explosions
technology_effects
uniform_to_faction_colours
unit_abilities
warscape_animated
warscape_rigid

.loc tables

Most of them are still the same, are they? These are relatively unchanged between ETW-NTW-S2TW...

I'm sure tables like unit_stats and projectiles are definitely changed, no doubt about it.

...Um...most likely in data.pack; campaigns>[campaign name]>scripting.lua and startpos.esf....Well, that's in Shogun 2; but most likely Rome 2 would not be radically different... Radious, you have Gifted your S2TW?

I have updating the PFM on my list, but most probably not before the weekend. Got to indulge in the game a little first

The Toolmaker has spoken...Well, We'll wait till next week...

Here is picture of Rome 2 data folder:

Any chance I could bribe you to get basic stuff in the PFM like unit_stats_land, units, and projectile editing working before that with a copy of XCOM: Enemy Unknown?

I've got the source downloaded from sourceforge so I can poke around in it myself, but I really don't have the foggiest idea where to start looking. Plus it looks a bit over my head

Please slow down the battle speed by at least 50%. Thank you.

[Radious]

I cant even satrt any of the older PFM versinos right now, cause i dont have installed Shogun 2/NTW and ETW. PFM wont let me start it if i have none of these games..... any workaround for this?

[Hazbones]

I couldn't get PFM to open any of the pack files in Rome2. We are all gonna have to wait until the tools get updated.
*twiddle thumbs*

I have only played a few years into the game and I am already bored enough to start wanting to mod.

[Radious]

Ok, managed to start pfm again, but PFM cant read any single Rome 2 pack file. It says unknown header type so PFM must be updated before we cana ctually open any packfile of Rome 2 data folder.

[Ahiga]

Completely ignorant to how the code/tech/tool stuff works, but best of luck to you guys - you're the unsung heroes of Total War and I hope you are successful.

I gotta adds me them Scutari to Carthage!

[Savathor]

Best of luck to all modders out there, particularly you Radious. I've been playing Shogun 2 for a long time with all your mods . Played Rome for a couple of hours now, and already I see certaint things that needs.... attention .

[weirdoascensor]

so far, packfileManager 2.4.1 won't work, but EditSF_1.07 seems works, I have changed the campaign unit size and unit experience. campaign multiplier doesn't work, unit scale doesn't work if set >3.0

The program EditSF 1.0.7 works in Rome 2. I put in a save game - 40 units in the аrmy and 30 units for the fleet.

The PFM doesn't even able to browse the directories inside the pack files?

[Iaius Statius Laurentius]

Hey so funny story...

Game still uses esf files and the esf editor can edit them. Know what that means? NO MORE ONE TURN PER YEAR.


Testing now!!

[ImperialAquila]

I'll fiddle around and see what I can do with the unit cards.
