Modding Question (Newb for Mtw2)

okay, Im an experianced modder for RTW, right now im working on the Napoleonic total war 2 mod for Rtw, and its not that hard. I just wanna look into modding mtw2.

For Rtw, to make a unit its basically

Make a model in 3ds max, Uv map it, Skin it, Export it, Make a texture in Tga format, Convert to dds, Make an animation, Edit the Descr_model_battle.txt.,Edit Export_descr_unit.txt, And make sure u edit some more text files, and its done.


How does it work for MTW2? i see stuff about meshs, textures, models,codding, scripting. Also what programs do you use? for rtw, you only needed 2. adope photoshop and 3ds max.


If you can, post the answers here, dont just say Look at tutorials and stuff, I have already looked at that.:book:
