Fire by rank for all nations

[TWPVE87]

Hi,

Of all the nations I tested in Grand Campaign, only the Prussians can do fire by rank in this mod (10th year anniversary). Even when researched, units will never use it.

Is there any way I can change this in the files so it is added again for all nations? I have no modding skills unfortunatly.

I am really surprised why the modders decided to remove such a cool option of this game.

Besides that, great mod.

Anyways, thank you for any pointers

Hi,

I just started looking over the IS forums and came across your post.

Wanted to let you know there is an easy way to change this yourself.

Using the Pack Tool, Pack File Manager
Open up the IS DB.pack file.
Click the + next to IS DB.pack
followed by the + next to db. To open it.
Scroll down until you find this one.

"unit_class_to_unit_ability_junctions_tables"

open it by clicking on the +. You'll see below it
"is_unit_class_to_unit_ability_junctions"

Click on this one time to open it up. To your right you'll see the listing of unit classes.
2 two column. 1 saying unit_class and the 2nd saying unit_ability.

An Example:

1. artliiery_fixed | gabionade

There are only 25 of them listed here.
Look for the infantry ones and change the ones that say fire_volley to rank_fire.

You can change them to how you like.
SO if you want only line troops to use fire by rank, then just change the infantry_line one and so on.

What I've done is change just the elite, line and grenadiers to have rank fire while leaving light, irregulars and militia to keep fire_volley.

Hope you check back here and see this. And hope it helps. =)

Cheers!
