SaveParser - Editor for Total War savegames - v1.40.0.0

[Prout]

Hi Ronin
Could we have an ETA for the update for the ancient empire mod ?

[Tomice]

I found a solution how to use all unique general models for random generals!

In data.rome2.pack/db, there is a table called campaign_character_art_sets_tables. In this file, the "group" for general models is specified (e.g.

main_3c_only). Changing this value makes the model available for the desired campaign.

[Tomice]

It would be great you could fix the "spouse" issue, though! Thank you!

[Tomice]

Another question (hope I don't bother you!):

When choosing a trait for female characters, quite a few are locked. They are marked in the database as "is_male_only_trait".

Even after creating a mod that makes removes the mark from the checkbox (and activating the mod of course), the trait is still not there to choose.
Are only vanilla traits available in SaveParser?
Hint: Even after changing the original DB file from CA (instead of creating a mod), I can't choose the changed trait.

If you wanna embed a mod you have to add it in the SaveParser.ini and change there usePackDataFiles to true;

Hmm, I have to make a new version for the new DLCs first. But I have started already to implement it.

Great to hear! And thanks for explaining the mod integration.

Could you make it?

[Tomice]

Could you make it?

I'll tell you a bit later, just started working on it!

[Tomice]

I wasn't successful yet
My mod works, female generals start the game with all kinds of background traits usually reserved for men.
But when I use SaveParser, the list of available traits for females is still much shorter.

Here's what my ini looks like:

P A C K D A T A
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- no need to change this value for normal usages of this tool
usePackDataFiles = true


M O D S E T T I N G S
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# - node index number must be continuous and modNameShort unique
# - only mods that affect skills. traits, ancillaries, ancillary effects, factions, technologies,
# portraits, cultures, buidlings, character names or army names must be enlisted here
mod.0.modName = RoninX
mod.0.modNameShort = RoninX
mod.0.dataFile = ronin_skills.pack
mod.0.mainGame = Attila


mod.1.modName = Ancient Empires
mod.1.modNameShort = Ancient Empires
mod.1.dataFile = @e_001_ancient_empires_master_pack1.pack
mod.1.mainGame = Attila


mod.2.modName = Divide Et Impera
mod.2.modNameShort = DeI
mod.2.dataFile = ___divide_et_impera_010_part1.pack
mod.2.mainGame = Rome2


mod.3.modName = Terminus Total War - Imperium 12 TPY
mod.3.modNameShort = TTWI12
mod.3.dataFile = ttw_imperium12tpy_mod.pack
mod.3.mainGame = Attila


mod.4.modName = TTX
mod.4.modNameShort = TTX
mod.4.dataFile = TTX_trait_unlock.pack
mod.4.mainGame = Rome2

A possible hint: I never named my mod, the "TTX" name and short name is just random. Where do I name mods created in PFM?

Can someone please tell me how to change a faction to "can horde".

The tick boxes in the faction parser don't work for that option.

I can't find the option in the ESEditor. Factions which already can horde have an extra entry in their Faction ID (Faction Horde Manager), but I can't seem to give this entry to other factions

This is just an INFO flag, you cannot change that - game does not allow that (buildings aso.)

Thank you for the quick update!

May I kindly ask if you saw anything wrong about my .ini?

[leonardusius]

Is any new PFM schema for the new DLC to properly see 'female_character_subculture_details_tables' table and others like that ? Older schema show them as red.

Hm looks all fine. Important is only pack file. Where is the your mod file? in the data folder?

[Tomice]

No, in the main game folder (I think I left it on the PFM default). Should I change the location to data?
I'll try a few things regarding paths and settings tomorrow when I find the time, thank you for the hint.

Another question:
Is changing the ancillary that represents your spouse ("cruel wife", "wealthy husband",...) even supposed to work currently?
Is it something that just doesn't work for me or is it generally not possible?

(I can change it, but it immediately jumps back to the old setting)

Version 1.38.0.1 released.

• Deployment error.

I've got it to work, and as expected, I've been the culprit for the problems myself...

Since most of SaveParser's features were working instantly, I thought I could skip the detailed installation procedure.
Specifically, I didn't specify the installation directory because I assumed it had already been auto-detected (I could change some traits after all).

Thank you for your help!

I've yet to try integrating mods, as I've immediately started a very enjoyable campaign using personalized family members.
