Help editing an active mod

**thdot44** · May 30, 2015, 02:36 AM

Hi,

I have subscribed to a mod through the steam workshop, it is a unit pack mod. The issue is i feel the values for the unit are unbalanced, too high a price for their stats. I am looking to see how
I would edit that mods DB with the PFM without steam updating or it corrupting the mod. I have done very little with modding of Atilla so I may need it spelled out.

Thanks.

Just copy the pack file, rename it, and then you can edit the stats ^^
It should prevent the edit file from being updated, and use PFM.

Awesome, thanks for the info. Do you think that would be an issue with save game comparability? I wouldnt be removing any units but could there issues?

Thanks

nop, it wouldn't be an issue

save game compability is related with startpos file, if a mod changes that, it won't be compatible since save files have their own startpos file.

Seem Ive had another issue, when I am in the Tweak tool looking at land units i do not see anything from the mod packs, only the vanilla units. Is there something I need to do before mod units show up? They are in game.
