As you all can tell, i've been doing some modding that I know nothing about lately. And I need your help once again...
Question #1. Where are the In-game banners assigned? (The symbol that rests above cities and armies on the campaign map)
Question #2. What are command lines? I have a feeling the Show_err or whatever it is will help me. How do I use these?
Thanks in advanced. Eventually I won't have anymore questions. But... not yet.
"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod -show_err
go to your data folder click search and type banner :0
Other banners search stat
Sorry bro, that wasn't much helpful...Quote:

This picture is from M2TW, but it's simply an example of what I'm trying to change. Ignore the bottom arrow.

Most things you never wanted to know about -show_err

The faction symbols are assigned in descr_sm_factions.txt in versions 1.5 and1.6 eg:
the index number gets counted four per page starting on symbols_0 left to right, then top to bottom starting with 0 I think... if you work out a which a few are you can soon figure out how other numbers work.Quote:
faction sarmatians
culture roman
symbol models_strat/symbol_sarmatians.CAS
rebel_symbol models_strat/symbol_nomad_rebel.CAS
primary_colour red 255, green 255, blue 141
secondary_colour red 128, green 128, blue 128
loading_logo loading_screen/symbols/symbol128_sarmatians.tga
standard_index 5
logo_index 234 ; Index into strat3.rsd
small_logo_index 248 ; Index into shared.rsd
triumph_value 5
I did notice on other question you posted though that you seemed to be using an earlier patch - if that hasn't got the standard_index part in you might be stuck
(and sorry that's a BI segment I quoted but principle is the same)
I'm understanding this now. I've got 1.3 and 1.5 downloaded, so I will be installing those shortly and seeing if I can get the ball rolling. Thanks for the help.
I'm answering here instead of scriptorium thread about patching over modded files:
patch will probably overwrite some of modded files, trying to patch over mod is likely to leave you with nothing at all working! Make copies of all files you've modded and save somewhere separate, uninstall and re-install if you don't have a spare clean copy of game and then apply patch.
If you have space make a copy of the clean unpatched version before patching other one. Then compare files before and after patch, if they haven't changed you should be able to re-introduce your modded version. You could always try using the changed files to make mod-folder I suppose just in case it works...
For ones where vanilla file is changed by patch you'll need to go through them individually and make same changes to patched version you did before, or identify what changed in patch and make those changes to modded version if that is quicker...
its liable to be a bit messy I'm afraid - there is a thread in here somewhere (hopefully in answers) about converting mod between patches.
Alright, thank you. After unpacking the .pak files, do I need to delete them or rename them and move the unpacked files in order to have my mods show up?
