Heya folks,

This works for TATW and *cough* DAC for those running it on MAC!

Follow this tutorial - http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...5#post15256985

if you are using on older MAC and cannot get current IWTE to work, the heritage version works with earlier versions on WINE (yes im running this all on a 2011 macbook pre - don't shame me, it's all i got due to COVID) - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ja0wv6ymwe..._01_A.zip?dl=0

However the biggest change to this that i found that works ( for 5/5 custom settlements I have tested on both TATW and DAC so far)
1. Follow the steps to delete the wall animations
2. Instead of modifying-re-directing the gate animations - just delete them as above for the walls.
3. always have back ups just in case!

This step will allow you to play custom battlemaps which are using animations that are different to original M2TW. Only issue is that when you destroy gates, like walls, now the animation is gone - the game just cuts to an open gate without the 'explosive' animation of the gate breaking - working for siege and rams destroying gates!

Hope this helps - massive thanks to Makanyane on the discord for advice.
