Modding Q&A's

[crzyrndm]

Is nothing of that possible right now?

1) not possible else it would have been done long ago.
2) table: startpos_past_events
3) minor_settlement_field_battle_percent in campaign_variables I believe. However this only forces the AI, player has to select sally out.

thanks for the help again crzyrndm I've given you a thanks on the mod

Not a problem

@ carthago

1) may be possible in naval_units_tables. untick the boarding box and see if that works

2) you need to edit the past diplomatic events to change starting relations. or you can reduce or increase cultural effects

3) Yes there is a value somewhere which defines the % of those battles fought in the city or in a field, set to 100% and bingo bango

Thank you very much, both of you

I implemented that in my personal mod compilation. Then I wanted to try, and I don't know why the whole mod doesn't work (Although I checked it in the Mod Manager). Can maybe someone take a look on it and tell me what I might have made wrong?
Here a screen of the structure (including the DuB Mod and HD Water Mod, just a few edits by me); .pack-file is attached aswell.

Hey guys, I have tried searching but haven't found anything so I figured I would ask here. Is there any way to remove the spot light from units during night battles?

question - Has anybody found out where and how exactly are CiG units defined? i was looking for unit costs, but they are not in main unit table, yet when i checked unit stats in game, units had the stats i gave them in land_units table.. It looks like they are somehow linked with these entries, just cant figure it how.. any idea?

[crzyrndm]

They're in main_units, prefix CiG

[JaM]

lol, you are right.. i was looking at incorrect column... damn, land_unit column and there is unit column...

Hey there,
I know that this isn't the right place to ask. But I never get an answer if I ask at the right place.
So perhaps you can help me.

I want to add a new officer. I mean the one which every unit on the battlefield has.
I only found one db table for the officers. It is called land_units_officers_tables .
I added my new officer there, created a new variantmeshdefinition for him and integrated it, too.
Also I added an entry in the db table variants_tables and I assigned my new officer to a unit.

But everytime I start Rome2 it crashes. So I think I forgot a db table.
Does anyone know the missing db table?

Greetings
Roemerboy

You need also add your new officer into battle_personalities.

[Roemerboy]

You need also add your new officer into battle_personalities.

Thanks very much.
But which animation do I have to use? (my new officer has a sword and a sheild, but no horse)
There is only a sword and shield cavalry animation.

[Mithridates VI]

Use rome_man_sword_shield.

[Roemerboy]

Use rome_man_sword_shield.

Ah ok thanks.
It is good to know that I can use the same animations like in land_units .

I has again same situation. I plunder a town. My army still in the red zone and I can't leave any more.

Where I can find the red zone around the towns please?

[Carthago]

Is there a mod that forces the AI to accept peace always?
And if not, which db files and which values in there do I have to edit to make such a mod?

Is there a way to create custom traits with custom effects for generals in Napoleon Total War. Basically I want to create a british equivalent of General of the Grande Armee trait. Specifically the replenishment rate modifier, can't find another trait that has this modifier.

[Ambigatos]

The data/ui/units/icons/& or masks, is where the unit card .png's are stored yes...

How can I get my custom unit cards into that location so that I may open them in PFM and actually create a path and link it to my mod pack? I have mixed and matched a few vanilla cards in gimp to create some new cards, but I can't seem to connect them properly to my pack

[JaM]

anybody figured out what tracking_treshold means in battle entities?

[sgtkatharn]

I have another question in relation to my edicts mod I am trying to find where to change the properties for the edict button frame and its behaviour

[Geleco]

How do I make certain textures completely invisible (i.e. transparent)?

I made a mod that applies the James skin to one of the Greek generals. I am trying to make his armor and tunic textures completely invisible. I managed to do the armor but I can't figure out the tunic (at least I think it's the tunic).

^^ There are screenshots there that can kind of show the problem. Some of his old textures are clipping through the new variantmesh I put on.
