I tried to start a campaing with the Russians using the desc_strat tip from rome total war but it seems to no work at all! When I start the campaing it backs to a copy of the main screen with a weird "back" at the bottom!

Someone has any idea how to make it work!?

Looks like a regular back button, but it appears in the main screen!

Quoted from ER:

Unlocking all unlockable factions

Hey, I know it wasn’t hard in Rome – but now it’s even easier. Just add the following to you cfg file:

[misc]
unlock_campaign = true

Edit: econ, this should be in the Learn to Mod->Modding questions forum

I made a simple change to descr_strat to unlock the unlockable factions (not the unplayable factions).

The beginning of descr_strat should be changed to this for it to work:


campaign imperial_campaign
playable
england
france
hre
spain
venice
sicily
milan
scotland
byzantium
russia
moors
turks
egypt
denmark
portugal
poland
hungary
end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
papal_states
aztecs
mongols
timurids
slave
end


Its pretty simple as you can see, just got to make sure you don't upset the position of the code lines (eg. nonplayable, end).

I tried to do that and it said "File has read only attributes"

Thoughts?

Right-Click the file and unflag the write-only option :inquisitive:

I take it you mean the read-only option.That's what i did too.Don't remember having to do that with RTW now that i think of it.

No no, I definitely meant the write-only option. Definitely. :inquisitive:

After all the file is written onto the screen and not read from the keyboard, isn't it?

In the properties section you are correct the 2 attributes boxes say 'Read only' and the other says 'hidden'.

Just uncheck the read only and you can save depending on what else you want to do you may want to do this for the whole folder anyway.

If you opt to use the 'medieval2.preference.cfg' then it is best to cretae your own version and use a .bat file to launch. I found that by just amending the above file it works once and then the game over rides it so the following time you start the game you have to amend it (probably not an issue if you've saved a game and carrying on but definately an issue if you've added other commands).

Look in the system.log at the bottom, it will tell you the error. Editing the descr_strat is not to difficult, I have almost finished implimenting a new map for my mod. Just stuck at the moment with one error I dont understand.

what he probably did wrong was made all the factions available, cos the mongols and timurids are emergent factions, and aztecs are frozen.
