Thread: M2TW Config File How To's

  1. #121

    Icon5 Re: M2TW Config File How To's

    I cant get the battle editor to appear in my game.

    My medieval2.preference.cfg file looks exactly like this:

    [video]
    widescreen=0
    [game]
    allusers=1
    [features]
    editor = true

    It already had:

    [video]
    widescreen=0
    [game]
    allusers=1

    So i added:

    [features]
    editor = true

    As stated in the guide.

    Is that correct? If so, any suggestions as to why the editor doesnt appear in my options menu?

    I have patch 1.2 installed and im running windows vista 64 bit.


    EDIT:

    Seems to have been solved by installing patch 1.2 that i downloaded from a different site (i got an error while installing patch 1.2 saying it was corrupt).

    The preferences cfg file had lots more stuff in it, including things like my settings, once i had put the lines to unlock the editor and saved it, the editor appeard.

    I'm in quite a bind here .. i have pretty much tried everything mentioned in this thread to get more than one stack in battle under my control but without succes.

    Game versions are Kingdoms 1.05 and Medieval 1.03 no other mods installed.

    I tried .cfg Switching / Mod Switching / read only the preference file to no avail neither kingdoms or medieval is letting me control more than one stack

    Also with and without "[io] file_first = true" even though i didn't touch the text files in the main Data folder.

    medieval2.preference.cfg is the preference file for both medieval and kingdoms ?

    For me it looks like this:

    [io]
    file_first = true

    [audio]
    ...

    [camera]
    ...

    [controls]
    ...

    [game]
    advanced_stats_always = 0
    advisor_verbosity = 1
    ai_factions = skip
    allusers = 1
    auto_save = 1
    blind_advisor = 0
    campaign_map_game_speed = 68
    campaign_map_speed_up = 0
    campaign_num_time_play = 53
    chat_msg_duration = 10000
    disable_arrow_markers = 0
    disable_events = 0
    english = 0
    event_cutscenes = 1
    fatigue = 1
    first_time_play = 0
    gamespy_save_passwrd = 1
    label_characters = 0
    label_settlements = 1
    micromanage_all_settlements = 1
    morale = 1
    mute_advisor = 0
    no_campaign_battle_time_limit = 1
    pref_factions_played = 5
    tutorial_battle_played = 0
    tutorial_path = norman_prologue/battle_of_hastings
    unit_size = large
    unlimited_men_on_battlefield = 1
    use_quickchat = 0
    The campaigns were started before making these modifications is that a factor ? AFAIK that cfg is parsed every time the game loads ... not only when i start a new game ?

    Any help is greatly apreciated. Thank you !

    I've made myself this little teutonic remake to make Norway and the Mongols more playable, but everytime i run the Bat file i get this error (attachement 1). I've included the .bat and .cfg file as a .rar zip in the attachements. Since i've used a plain copy of the original teutonic files, i think this is kind a wierd. Hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    Here is where i keep my files:
    C:\Program Files\Sega\Medieval II Total War\teutonic_remake\data... (main mod folder)
    C:\Program Files\Sega\Medieval II Total War\teutonic_remake.bat
    C:\Program Files\Sega\Medieval II Total War\teutonic_remake.cfg

    Help!. I have limited Modding abilities and only know a tad bit of changing script lines

    sooo. All this talk about finding a .cfg file and blah blah blah. I finally found it
    I then found the line show_banners=0 under "video"

    But i looked into the game and they are still showing?
    I then tried show_banners=1
    Still no
    Then i added show_banners=0 under "game"
    no luck.

    Please someone help. All I want to do is remove those pesty Floating banners. Thanks

    After you make changes you need to save the file and mark it read only.

    Help!

    recently downloaded mongol invasion mod. In which the cfg. disables banners. which I love.
    It also affects my vanilla game. So I deleted the mongol invasion from my med 2 folder.
    But still I have no banners. I added show_banners = 0 under video.
    But to no avail. show_banners=true as well. No avail.

    I did check the read only box, but still no.

    I have a problem, I want to change the armoured sergeants ability from schiltrom to shield_wall in the EDU. I just read this and it said I need a file, but it is a bit confusing, What exactly do I need to do to make sure my changes take place?

    EDIT:
    Please add this in. I use Steam for M2:TW, so it did not work for me adding the medieval.exe @mod.cfg thing, and I had to use C:\Users\user\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 4700 @mod.cfg.
    I guess you could use just Steam.exe, but it doesn't matter.

    Erm, for whatever reason I don't have a "Preferences" file within the preferences folder. I'm running M2TW Gold. I'm pretty sure I'm looking in the right place, however I need some help finding the "Preference" text. All that is within the file is "Advice" file, "Keys" data, & a text named "Player" without any actual text inside.

    I could use some help.

    The file is in your main M2TW folder. It's called medieval2.preference.cfg.

    Aye, that's where I've been looking...I don't seem to have the file though. I have a "Advice", "Keys", & "Player" file...none of which contain any of the information pertaining too the files listed in the OP. Hence my confusion...

    If you're running Vista or Windows 7 it will likely be in the virtual store.

    If you have the files "Advice", "Keys", & "Player" then you are in the "preferences" folder:
    C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\preferences

    The .cfg is in the main m2 folder;

    C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War

    Is it possible to enable saving battle replays in historical battles?

    Not exactly what you're looking for (I guess, you seek for a solution through the .cfg), but here's an alternative method for campaign battles, maybe this can also work for historical ones:

    I'm having the same problem some people had during the early life of this thread : I can't produce the error log I know the .cfg switching works cause I've tested it with other options. However, I've copied-pasted the line given in the first post in my .cfg file, and it doesn't work. I see no log in the logs folder. I tried to change a few things here and there but nothing works. So my question is : how do you get your log file to appear? And also, can you see it as soon as the game starts or do you have to quit the game to make it appear? Thxs in advance

    Never mind I did it by myself.

    In case others are interested, the problem was that both instructions were on the same line.
    So the correct input is :
    [log]
    to = logs\system.log.txt
    level = * trace
