Hello to all and thanks for the guide Mitch which served me a lot but as a beginner that I am there are many things that escape me and I would like to ask.
for example:
Is it possible to edit an already created mod, or can you only work with the base game data?
And the one that brings me the most headaches is:
can I change the animations of the weapons? And how do I make this happen?
(I'm trying to make the projectile units appear with the tip of the projectile up like the spearmen.
I would like my legionaries to walk with the pilum and change to the sword at will, this I have already achieved with PFM, but appear with the pělum down and I would like to change it so that they are up
I think it could only be achieved by having all units of projectiles appear with their projectile up.)

Thank you very much.
Greetings.
Thanks for this but it ain't be working for me. I double-checked and remade the process like 10 times, still crashing at loading screen.
If I edit a already made mod with PFM, everything works fine.
Yet, if I create my own mod throu the assembly kit, it won't work. Tested it with very simple modifications.
It's quite annoying as I have no way to create my own mod like this.
Hi so first i would like to say thank you very much for you guides, but i am having trouble with the BOOB. i edited the start.pos regions table as i changed the Etruscan starting city to Alalia instead of valathre. my problem is that when i export it says its fine but it does not show up in the working data, followed your guide to the letter and i just cant find it. if i go out and actaully look in the file its there but bob cant see it/ wont see it
figured out out to export but my changes were not in them and i cant find them at all, they show up in raw data but in the bob still cant figure out how to make my mod with just the start.pos regions that i need, i really would like to just add it into a existing mod so that me and my brother can play as the Romans and the Etruscan's. the problem we have is that he needs valathre for Italia province starting out and this wouldn't be an issue if the HTH multiplayer victory conditions were not retarded and just used the same ones from single player. as is if you takes valathre then i insta lose the game and its over. now this is not a question on making a specific mod. what i need done is done i just need to make it into a pack file so that i can actually use my changes and bob isnot simple you have to pick not just your file but fifty others or it doesn't even let you create the pack then it doesn't even bother to include the one you actually need and had originally selected in the first place. its beyond frustrating to spend 20 plus hours huntign down all the information i need then compiling it and using to finally change what i need to, to have the last tool i need not function at all. is there a tool that lets you just take the start.pos table and export it directly into a Pack or do you have to use the Bob that fails or just doesnt export the file you changed at all
Okay so I've been trying to compile the Startpos for hours. I've looked online EVERYWHERE and I cannot find a fix.
When I try to build the Startpos, I get this error: Timed out. Couldn't locate launcher and game processes.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the game and the Assembly kit to no avail. I even tried to make the edits from scratch on a whole other PC and still getting the same issue. To make sure it wasn't something I did, I tried exporting a clean Startpos with no changes; still the same error.
Hi to all, have not been playing RTW2 for more than a year, start playing it recently but realised that my previous mods cannot be used anymore.
Recreated a new mod to amend unit stats, followed the instructions on page 1 using the Assembly Kit. Started the game with the my new mod, but no changes was made to game. Tried creating a new mod using latest PFM, but failed as well.
Can anyone help me out please? Have I done any steps wrongly? System seems to be reading the original data instead of the modded data.
just changed basic things in start_pos and others.
start_pos_factions
start_pos_characters
start_pos_starting_general_options
start_pos_land_units
start_pos_regions
start_pos_settlements
start_pos_character_to_settlements
*I checked the files many times
*reset and recreate etc. etc.
Add the unit key to the bulding_units_allowed_tables. This table is the mapping of what buildings allow what units. There are a couple things you need to do here.
1. have a row for the unit for each level of the building, ie emp_spearman have a row for each level of the barracks building
2. The column that has a random number in must be unique. This applies to each row for the unit. With wh2's rouge armies, the number you will need to pick will need to be quite large (think billions)
Add the unit to the unit_to_groupings_military_permissions_table. This table marks what units are allowed to be used by which factions.
Add the battle animation keys to the culture_to_battle_animation_tables_tables. This table indicates which animations are usable by which factions.
1. The names for a units animations are not super intuitive here. You can find them by looking at the unit in question in the land_units_table. There is a column there that will let you know which animation is theirs.
2. If your unit is on a mount, you may have to add the mounts animation too (ie if I want to make demigryph knights usable by brettonia, I have to add the demigrypth's animation and the riders animation).
Yet no changes in-game, either through campaign, or through custom battles (I have added entries to the custom battles permissions as well). Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I logged online than started up the assembly kit when I tried to go into the variant editor now it says "too many boot packs only one is allowed" I took a picture of the error message its attached.
This is a basic guide to the main areas of the current (16/01/2014) Assembly Kit from CA. It will give you a run down on how the tools work and the main workflow when using them. Basically just the introduction you might need to jump in and use the tools.
Don't be put off by the size of this guide, it's easy to follow and there may be a lot of words but this is because I've tried to make it understandable by everybody, from beginners to existing modders.
Any questions related to the tools (eg. how do I export table X), I will answer. Any questions on tool functionality not discussed here is also welcome.
Any questions related to modding in general (eg. how do I change X units stats), I will not answer. There already exists endless materials to answer these questions and this isn't the place to discuss them.
Thanks! Happy Modding!
So i did that i put the mod.pack file in Total War: Rome 2/data i launch the game and when i try to play a custom battle or start a campaign it crashes
