Warning Ameture Modder

[Sir Robin]

Just a quick note that I love modding MTW.

It is alot of fun changing settings or factions and seeing what happens in the game.

However make sure you backup your mods too.

I got a little lazy one morning and didn't bother to back them up.

That great flushing sound was several days of work going right down the drain. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif

Well... mod and learn.

Still, wow this is almost as much as playing MTW. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

What went wrong?

As for modding, two threads stand out:
The New Factions thread is http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin....;t=6671 (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=5;t=6671) (read the whole thread)
The New Units thread is http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin....;t=7385 (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=15;t=7385)

EDIT: Also, download various mods (like mine ^_^) from the Org's download section, and take a good look at the zip files to see what goes where, and what to edit.

I am a bit of a neat freak.

I figured I could tidy up the file while making changes.

Somewhere in my modding frenzy I made an oops and I have not been able to use it since.

I couldn't help myself, that early.txt was begging me to make nice columns. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/dizzy.gif

Yeah, all the txt files are an@l about their looks. If you leave out a single tab or change something you shouldnt have, things happen. Bad things.
