Missing text files (shared, strat, tooltips) M2TW 1.2
These files give you a way to edit strat.txt, tooltips.txt and shared.txt
To use them, simply unpack them into your data/text folder. The game should automatically overwrite the .strings.bin files with the edited versions.
Keep in mind that these files are in English. There's no easy way so far to unpack different language versions for them.
These files are designed to work with M2TW 1.2
Thanks to Re Berengario I for explaining to me how to get the game to throw out the correct tags.

It allows you to extract the game's data and (English) text files (included), copies the other required files from your installation, and allows to copy the sounds, videos and loading screens (using CA's unpacker) to a new directory called mymod.
It also generates a mymod.cfg file out of your current medieval2.preference.cfg and creates a mymod.bat to run the mod folder.
This tool allows it to convert .texture files that were unpacked with CA's unpacker into the .dds format.
It also works the other way around, but only if the .dds files are in DXT1 or DXT5 format (virtually all files in the MTW2 release use one of these)
