if you could help me, I would be so happy ~:cheers:

Hey The Swordsmaster. Welcome to the forum?

What don't you understand? Some questions:
Do you want to know how to use it or what it is for?
Do you have 3DS Max modelling program?

I have figured out now, but it was how to use it in 3dsmax 7

...and thanks for the welcome :bow: :bow:

In 3ds max, click (in the top menu) MaxScript -> Run Script
Select the CAS script and run it
Click on the hammer on the right of the screen
Click on MaxScript in the menu that appears
Select CAS importer/exporter in the drop down box. The options should now appear in the toolbox on the right. You can scroll down if necessary.

thank you very much :bow: :bow: :bow:

Thanks Man! ~:cheers: ~D

hmm, the link for Unit Battle Ground Movement Modifier doesn't work.

Hey guys, is the link to xpak broken or is it just me?

I also found a link in another thread that takes me to a directory that -according to the link- should contain xpak (it contains hadrian and all the rest...), but it doesn't

Please upload it again, I am in the middle of a mod here! :)
Thanks!

Several of the links (including to Vercingetorix's xpak) are to twcenter.net which is currently down. For the interim, I've put my copy of the xpak for download here. Right click and save as.

Xpak - How to use instructions can be found here.

any ideas where could I find tool called Script Generator ?

Link posted in this this thread
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...8&page=1&pp=30

seem to be broken

Have a look in this thread.

No luck Richard...I keep getting "cannot find server" error

are there any alternative locations for downloading ?

Is that my script generator?

It is indeed...if there is a way of downloading it from anywhere

Ok finally managed to find it :

http://www.3ddownloads.com/totalwar/...9BDDC15BCE81BE

Hm, I'm not sure thats the most up to date version, is it the word based one?

the link to the wall editor doesn't work.

THAT CAS EDITOR DOWNLOAD IS WEIRD I DONT WANNA SIGNUP FOR THAT!!!! :furious3:

The link for the Animation Pack Editor is missing....

well, i don't know if somebody had my problem as well but anyway. from my experiance the .cas extractor works only with 3dsm 6.0 or higher. is that true? didn't see a hint about that since i'm here and it took me all the time to get that! quite annoing ;-)

None of the links work. Can anyone tell me where to get the Terrain Speed modifier tool?

Ah the Animation Pack Editor link to twc says 'this doesn't appear to be a mod'?

Thanks for the list also. :)

Many of the links work, but not that one in particular. Have a look at descr_battle_map_movement_modifiers.txt in your Data file, it really is simple to edit.

Thanks, this will help for my mod!

Here's another to add to the list:

Traits and Ancillaries Validator v0.2b
-----------------------------------

I've had several instances where a typo or a non-existent trait or ancillary was referenced in a trigger and caused the game to do a hard CTD (no error message whatsoever). To prevent that from happening, I wrote this little program.

Just place it in your Data folder or wherever your export_descr_character_traits.txt and export_descr_ancillaries.txt are located, and double-click. It will examine the files to make sure you don't try to give a general a non-existent trait or ancillary (non-existent meaning it's not defined, or it's misspelled, etc).

It will list all the defined traits and ancillaries in the file TraitsValidated.txt (this list could come in handy for documentation ~D ), as well as any potential problems.

Add this:

HGT-Converter
You will need a JRE 1.50 or higher to use it, which can be found here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

This is the release file, you'll find more detailed info inside:
http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/Rt..._Converter.zip

Can anyone tell me where to download Hardrian? I really want it but the link doesn't work. Thanks.
