How to edit unit stats without leaving MTW

[GilJaysmith]

The undocumented -reload option on the MTW command line will make the game reload the unit stats (and the projectile stats) with each new MP game.

This should make it somewhat faster for people to test stat changes for MP games, since you won't have to log out of GameSpy and restart MTW between each change.

Something along these lines was requested by TosaInu if I remember rightly.

Hope it works... :)

Hey why don't I have a title above my avatar?

it sounds great.
but forgive me that I'm new starter of modding, how do you actually do that? do you type in something at the short cut command line?
could someone please teach me that?

Yep, you edit the shortcut for MTW so the Target box says something like

"C:\Program Files\Total War\Medieval - Total War\Medieval_TW.exe" -reload

Gil, does that work for the SP campaign too...?

It would be nice if it did, save the bother of reloading everytime i change something. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

thank Gil. I haven't got the chance to try yet (at work now) but it would be great if this feature also works under SP.

Just checked, no it doesn't, sorry. Only when you host or join an internet or LAN game.
