It's too easy to storm into a barbarian settlement so I've thought to allow them to build stone walls. The problem is that my attempts to educate them in the art of base defense has failed. Can anyone help me?
Step 3: Adding a building card - Again not vital but looks better
If you dont already have one create a folder called UI in the data folder. Inside the newly created UI folder create another folder called BARBARIAN and inside the BARBARIAN folder create another folder called BUILDINGS.
If you have BI installed goto rtw/BI/data/UI/BARBARIAN/BUILDINGS and copy the 2 tgas relating to stone walls and paste them into your newly created BUILDINGS folder.
If you dont have BI installed then you'll need to use some other factions cards. This is a bit more complex and involves extracting the pak files and I'll direct you to the Sciptorium sub forum on how to do that. But once extracted the principle is the same - find the 2 Roman TGA's for stone walls copy them and past as above then rename them and replace the #ROMAN part of the name with #BARBARIAN (kep the rest)
Step 4 - adding a building description - again not vital but you've gone this far so you may as well go for it!
go into data/text and open export_buildings
Scroll down to the stone wall section and add a description for the barbarian stone walls (I'd just copy and paste from someone elses!) The bits in red below are what you want to replace
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
{stone_wall} Stone Wall
{stone_wall_desc} WARNING! This baseline description should never appear on screen!
{stone_wall_desc_short} WARNING! This baseline short description should never appear on screen!
{stone_wall_barbarian_desc}
WARNING! This text should never appear on screen!
{stone_wall_barbarian_desc_short}
WARNING! This text should never appear on screen!
And that should be it! Any problems post here and we'll see what we can do.
Two more pieces of advice
1) Always backup files before you stat moddingthem just in case
2) Use the show err command as if you do make a mistake theres a good chance that this will pick it up!
Re: Allowing Barbarian factions to build stone walls?
No problem, glad it all works, I always worry that I've forgotten something when I write a guide like that!
WARNING: Modding is extremely addictive, once started it can be hard to stop as you find yourself chaging more and more.
The good news is that there are many good guides locted in the sciptorium and a very friendly modding community here as well so you'll be well suported as you delve deeper and deeper

From where do I get the Roman TGA files? From what folder????
Re: Allowing Barbarian factions to build stone walls?
Thank you very much guys! It worked for me. But there is for me still a problem. I am making my own big mod (Holland Total War), and I allowed the barbarians to built a large and huge city as well. But when I build a large or epic stone wall on the map, it doesn't show up in the battlemap. Can someone tell me whats wrong?
Re: Allowing Barbarian factions to build stone walls?
Well I am here to help you, but I think you don't play it anymore. You need to unpack the pack files in your data/packs folder. There are all unit cards packed together. You can download it from more sites.
