EditSF 1.1 - Added Array Editing

[Lord Dakier]

Posted in the old thread, such a retard!

Is there not a info panel detailing what values are what. I found the money one that's pretty obvious, bur I want to change things like legion experience, research completed and general's level?

[Hiscore]

Hello! I need help giving technology to myself and any other faction I choose. I've changed all the non-zero values to


zero, as it seems that the ones I have are all zero, but when I did that the first time with another editor, nothing was


changed. Tried a later version and it crashed. Can someone tell me exactly what to do? Apparently I need to make a few smaller posts because of an anti-spam filter, so I will continue next post.

Exactly what values must I change,


and is it safe to do it? Of course I made a backup, but I don't want to lose progress. If someone could make a video or a


detailed description I would very much appreciate it. I'm very new to this kind of thing, so I am prone to making mistakes.


In addition, I've tried using an editor to change unit information to make units worse/better, but had little success with


that as well. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you for providing this tool daniu+Rep

Have you considered adding the possibility to have two startpos files open in the tool at the same time and make it possible to copy an entry from one startpos and paste it into the other startpos? Right now it is only possible to duplicate, move or delete entries within a single startpos files.

The reason I ask is because it was possible with the older ESF editor 1.4.5, which made it possible to use these types of functions to make hybrid startpos files etc. It was not fool proof but fairly easy and very flexible to usehttp://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...D-startpos-esf

Hello All I am having an issue with EeditSF in Napoleon TW

I am trying to modify the starting Treasury from CAMPAIGN_ENV>CAMPAIGN_MODEL>WORLD>FACTION_ARRAY>FACTION_ARRAY - 0>FACTION>FACTION_ECONOMICS

I tried changing it on a Save game and also on the starpos.esf (after making a backup of original) But when I try to load the save it Crashes. And starting new Campaign crashes too.

This works perfectly for ROME 2 TW, but not Napoleon.

I tried EditSF 1.0.7 and 1.1.1, same results.

Any ideas? Is there something more that needs to be done for Napoleon?

Thanks a bunch!

Do you want to change the money generally or just for one game?

[NateTheGreat1990]

I'm having trouble with this tool... I have used ESF editors before and savegame editor all of that stuff before, But when I try to change the technologies to 0 to just take over the world with all the technoligies unlocked I can't theres nothing there with like techs/techs or something like that other total war games...

How it goes for me : CAMPAIGN_SAVE_GAME > COMPRESSED_DATA > CAMPAIGN_ENV > CAMPAIGN_MODEL > WORLD > FACTION_ARRAY > FACTION_ARRAY -0 > FACTION > FACTION_TECHNOLOGY_MANAGER > PARTIALLY_RESEARCHED

Then its blank there....

Main Question : How do you change the technoligies to be unlocked for just a save game.

Please help !!

Hi, how do I edit Battle Difficulty in a multiplayer savegame for both two players?

Hi

Does EditSF work for any CA game? Or only the most recent (I.e.wht games are supported?)

Hey guys I dont know if this was covered by someone some time ago, but I've been looking and I can't find how to change the control of a faction mid-game. I know it could be done for empire, but how can we do it for Rome 2? If anyone knows please help, because I'd like to keep Carthage alive in my game haha

or does anyone know how to create a hybrid campaign? I've tried it with the latest version of EditSF, but I can't copy or delete any files so I can't change anything...

[RoninX2807]

yes, i tried it also. I spent few hours to modify the savegame, but it worked only for one turn and then the game crashed. I had to change many entries to switch players faction, just to make another faction controlable.

ver 1.1.1 worked with R2 patch 12, but it doesn't seem to work with patch 13. The link to editsf 1.1.2 goes to ver 1.1.1 only. Is Daniu updating this anymore?

Where is the version of editsf that works with R2 patch 13?
