Forum: STW Modification

Hello. I'll try to make this brief. Ok, I made a lot of maps during the demo days of Shogun Total War (Anjin-san) Anyway, I decided to dabble with MTW's demo. Please, read through and help me out with some explanations if you can. I started messing with the second bulgari practice, or the Greece...

I'm working on anothe MOD and -for some unknown reason- I'm able to include desertarchers and saharancavalry. The thing is, the damn archers hardly fire! I've got like 7 units, and I'd guess that only two units actually fire, and not much at that. Strange.

He "must" bounce....right?

Can someone please make me a tiny mod which will give the units in which the clans specialize a +2 honour? so that Takeda cavelry would start with a +2 honor and the Uesegi (?) archers with a +2 etc. (only for the campaign ofcourse http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif). Can this be done?...

In the loc files there are actually quite a few comments such as this one: @ // cut and pasted same as above - someone should make them better I find that amusing... They communicate via the files, not the normal ways of talking or leaving notes. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

Despite my novice status on this forum, I have been a Shogun player since the game first came out, and it is one of the few that has continued to survive on my hard-drive. I realized that this site has many custom maps for download, and I would like some of them out. However, there is very...

6 Excellent Mods for Download Clan Doragon's Portal http://doragon.barocca.web1000.com/ it's very basic at the moment, with my usual choice of trying to keep all pages small for dial-up users, So far the site holds a couple of library topics and images of the Clans Shields, any input...

I've tried out a few mods, and have only been able to play as one side... yet i've heard of people playing the other side as well... how do you play the other side?

i've been posting some of the findings about the new editor in one or two other threads and i thought it might be better to bring this all into one thread. so, if you've got new data about the new editor, put it in here. do please read the docs and F1 helps within the editor first and read this...

Is there any interest for modded stats for WE/MI that would duplicate original STW gameplay? The new Sengoku units, kensai, BN and NC, could be given poor stats so that they are not viable choices. The one thing that would be different is the 550 koku cost of warrior monks which were 500 koku in...

THE AI IN THE DEMO IS VERY AGRESSIVE YOU CAN PUT ON DEFENSE,BUT THE AI TRY TO ATTACK IN ANY WAY. IS POSSIBLE TO THE AI KEEP IN DEFENSIVE FORMS? THANKS GUSTAVO

I'm really keen to play an 'ancient' version of 'Shogun' featuring Greeks/Romans/Persians. Does anyone know if such a mod exists? In fact, is it even possible to mod 'Shogun' to this extent? If so, I'm willing to give it a try - can anyone point me to a "How to create your own units" guide...

I just emailed it to Tosa-san. With luck and Buddha's Compassion, it will be available in downloads before you can say "Head Soup". If you try it, tell me if you like it... or if you think it sucks. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/confused.gif I sent Tosa-san: 1. A zip with the EXE and the...

STW crashes ( back to desktop) when I am playing the scond battle in the mongul campaign. Does anyone know how to exclude or skip a battle in campaign mode? I have tried to changing the hcf file ( putting //) but when I reload the game, the campaign vanishes from the menu. Any help is welcome

Star Wars : Total War This description is a large document which will answer some questions and release some new information about what exactally this MOD will be like. Star War's : Total War will be the biggest unofficial project so far, all images shall be changed as well as all documents. I...

Hi I've been modding the demo for the last few days and have made a new level. It pits french against english in the 100 years war. It includes new units ie longbows gothic knights, men at arms and feudal sergeants. It uses the jaffa map but with new terrain (it looks very different). If...

Don't think anyone's posted how to do this so far, but you can mod the battles to include multiple Factions and wether they are allied to you or not. In jaffa.bdf: Player::"Richard Coeur de Lion" 5 5 LOCAL "richard" 0 false 19588 28226 180 CHRISTIAN_CULTURE First number after player name...

I'de appreciate it if all the modifications, edits and patches would be dropped off here! Instead of having a bunch of seperate topics that take up a lot of space, just put 'em all here! For MTW demo!

I have Updated the Naginata Replacement Image Set to v1.5, (you know I've typed 1.15 so many times today i think it must be some sort of omen...) For all to download Naginata Replacement Image Set 1.5 includes software emulation, essential if your video card behaves anyhting like mine....

mod by Tarrak: download at: http://www.geocities.com/gert_corthout/mods.html description: Archers and Sailors are now Longbows. I wanted to use them, as well as they are very much needed now. Footknights are now Billmen (60 with only 1/1 upgrades). A little better against cavalry and slightly...

If this is old news would you please bear over with me. I was working on finding the reason why I could not play a certain mod and stumbled over this: If you look at the richard (or saladin for that matter) file in the Jaffa folder on notepad, you will see that there is a stat called...

Part 2 is now full of useless notes and comments, so, with the moderators tolerance, I'll summarize here and save everybody reading through ten tons of drivel http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif (Part 2 (http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000414.html) ) These Notes refer to the...

as i dont have a clue about modding i dont know the relevance of this nor is it strictly modding related. in the MTW folder go to frontend_files\armyselect there you will see 2 files one called '16 unit panel.BIF' the other more interestingly '22 unit panel.BIF' what's this?!? ...

The Naginata are as ready as I'll ever get them, But i need an install maker that will backup or rename the original files, There are 16 files that need to be replaced or disabled, hence the need for backup capability. This is too many files or for most users to manually backup and replace....

I know with MTW demo coming out, SW/MI's popularity is taking a dive, but still... Wondering if anyone has managed to disable the petty Geisha? I found that once the AI managed to build citadel, they would shoot directly to Geisha house, then basically wasting a completely well-developed...

I buy Shogun by only 15 days and I am very impressed by this game. Thanks to the very usefull info find in this forum and site I made two new Historical Battle that I post yesterday to the "Wargamer.com" scenarios archive under "Other" games: Battle of Mimasetoge (1569), and Battle of Tedorigawa...
