MTW Modding Question

My apologies if I am posting in incorrect forum, but it seems this is the only forum I have access to as a noob

My question is, does anyone perhaps know how to modify the saved SP campaign files? .cpg? For example I would like to be able to edit the cpg to change my faction.

I have tried viewing this file with a hex editor and I dont recognise the format, do they encrypt it or are they using a certain data storage format?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

To my knowlegde you can switch factions using command switch. Right click on your MTW shortcut, go properties and replace the -strictserver to -ian. While in game you may switch factions by pressing number keys; 1 through 0 and shift+1 through shift+0. Assuming you have an unmodded game Rebel is 1, Almohad is 2, Byzantine is 3, Sicilian is shift+0 and so on. The order is in the faction declaration in startpos files.

Modding that cpg file is unheard of lol. It will probably just corrupt your saved game.

Thanks very much for the info, will give it a try

I dont have any command line parameters at the moment, so I just create a shortcut with the argument "-ian" and thats it?

I tried this and it works, thanks alot, do you perhaps know how I would go above the faction 0?

I am running a modded version and it I would need it to cycle above the 10's if you know what I mean. I tried holding te numbers at the same time, but it didnt work.
