Hi there people. Just wandering if there is a mod or a way in which you can upload yourself into the Mtw game as a general or king. Also, does anyone know of a face pic generator to create faces?

Yes, you can edit the pictures of kings, etc. Look into the directory "\campmap\Portraits" and decide which picture you want to replace.

Okay, but how do you change the names?

Also easy. Look in Loc\Eng\Name.txt. Here's you will find forenames and surnames. So if you want to edit "El Cid" to "Emp Dacosta" you have to change "El" in forenames to "Emp" and "Cid" in surnames to "Dacosta".

Okay. Is it also possible to change the stats? Such as command, and dread etc...

Sorry, can't help you with that one. I haven't been editing in this part yet. I know there are some posts around here in the Dungeon which discussed this issue already though.

Okay, thanks anyhow. Could you give me a link to these posts so I don't have to browse the entire forum?

Okay, I did a quick search over the Dungeon and so far as what I've read, it's not possible to change any command rating or vice. They are all hard-coded. The only thing you can do is look for a specific hero (like El Cid) and give him your name. You could do the same for Hero-Kings because they are also hard-coded. The rest of the heirs/generals/kings etc is dynamic so they will be placed in the game depending on e.g. vices, command rating of your king or just totally random with a small chance to bump into a heroic general (if you build the right unit at the right time at the right place.

One topic about this specific issue if e.g. http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin....+number (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=5;t=1503;hl=king+and+number)

Well, thanks anyhow. Don't forget to pop into the site in my sig http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif Looks like I'm going to have to find a programmer to uncode the hard coded bits.
