Minor nations playable?

[Maleficus]

I might play as Westphalia, just for a REAL challenge......

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

or the Inuits!!!

Crashes when a faction emerges? GGGG

[Steppe Merc]

Thank goodness. I was afraid that once I got the game I would not be able to play as the Safavids or Mughals. Seriously why would they have the darn Marathas instead of Mughals? And having the Ottomans without their 2 major Islamic rivals is madness.

Blah...my colonies campaign freezes after 1707, it gets stuck on Britain, waited up to ten minutes and its just permintely stuck there, at least it lets me press esc and load or exit. Too bad, I was getting into building my empire from scratch as opposed to the last chapter of the RtI campaign and having things all laid out already.

That seems to happen when you're playing a protectorate.

I think someone will have to remove the mission where your parent country absorbs you, for them to be playable.

If that's the problem, then you could just take those regions first right?

I don't think that would complete the mission. Britain needs to capture Quebec and the Cherokee lands, not America.

Also, the Colonies aren't really in a position to attack France by 1707. They would be massacred.

Looks like it's finally done!



So far it seems the bugs to the mod is the fow covering up your starting location and emergent factions crashing the game. The first picture is the 13 colonies, not the US.

Is the mod alredy downloadable? And where? The link on your post does not work. PLEASE TELL MY QUICKLY!!! I can not wait to play Kurland!!!

[Cecil XIX]

I don't think that would complete the mission.

No, but it would make it impossible for Britain to the mission, which sounded like it was causing the crash as your faction was then absorbed into the UK.

[Malkut]

It's not completing the mission that causes it to crash, it's the existence of the mission.

I think. We'd have to know how to disable it to know for sure.

[pevergreen]

As for why links do not work, links to the other major unofficial Total War fansite are being wordfiltered out at the moment.

It should be removed soon.

Try swapping those '###' digits with 'twc'

Apparently there's an issue with Fog Of War though, so i'm gonna pass for now...

A question about modding, im trying to figure out the startpos.esf file but cant find anything useful for now, using the UltraEdit hex editor, should i try with a different editing software or just give up by the time someone(or CA) releases a good modding tool)?

Its a bit frustrating when u see a wall of

˙Š®»˙¬ą˙Ž°Ľ˙łŔ˙†#ş˙wš§˙~ˇŻ˙®Ľ˙Ź·Ä˙Ś´Á˙…#Ľ˙„Şą˙§µ˙„¬ş
˙ŠłÁ˙ˆŻľ˙ˆ°ż˙Ž¸Ç˙‘˝Ě˙˝Í˙şĘ˙Ś¶Ĺ˙‡±Ŕ˙ˆ

Ę×˙˜»Č˙ŠłĹ˙‹·Ę˙‹·Ę˙‹·Ç˙ˆłĂ˙†#Ľ˙ƒ©ą˙‚©ą˙‚Şş˙˜şÇ˙˘ÂÎ˙ĄÇÓ

& dont have a clue what it stands for.

[pevergreen]

You shouldnt see that in a hex editor, you should see bytes.

That must be opening it in textpad form or something man, you would see

00 03 03 00 F3 00 05 00 07 00 03 05

etc

[KaLiMeRo168]

doh stupid me, i have bytes on the left & ascii on the right, should mention that before
Still its a mystery to me, like im in the Egyptian Pyramids & watching the hieroglyphs :o.


I miss so much the old good descr_strat.

[Dradem]

KaLiMeRo168 I think you're opening it wrong, as pevergreen said it should be in bytes (actualy hex from 0 to F), you can mod in the minor faction without much problems, in the file you'll see in the transalation part for example
m.o.r.o.c.c.o..... in hex this is 6D 00 6F 00 72 00 6f 00 63 00 63 00 6F 00 01 00 01 00
the last . or 00 needs to be changed to 01

so you'll get 6D 00 6F 00 72 00 6f 00 63 00 63 00 6F 00 01 00 01 01

there is a problem with the Fog of war I'm checking trough the diffrent country's to check if there is a clue but nothing found but in some cases to save the game and then go back to it will solve this problem.

There is also an other problem that for some factions there are no victory conditions but I think there are already some tips to get that out but didn't check this yet.

to busy looking for the fog of war sometimes its a bit much ( i typed morocco from the top of my head )

Now back to work for a bit

just saw that you already replied to pevergreen so scratch the first part

Me too. There is another mod that completly removes the fog of war from the entire map. I am going to wait though because modders are just getting started, and many mods will overwrite vanilla files. I may even shelf the game for a few months untill patches and mods get the kinks worked out. This game has potential, but it was released in a very bad state.
