Trying to unlock my factions the right way

[ataribaby]

Thanks for the tips, btw what is the unpacker? Everytime I try to rewrite on these files with the playable and locked factions, its saying I don't have the right to edit this file. Is this what the unpacker is for?

I assume you've got Vista Bharat? The User Access Control (UAC) can be a royal pain when you just want to make a few changes to files in the Program Files directory.

The easiest way I've found is:

1. Copy the descr_strat.txt file to the Desktop; make the changes to the copy and save to the Desktop.

2. Rename the original to something like descr_strat.txt.original (UAC should allow a rename after a couple of permission prompts).

3. Move the altered file into your imperial_campaign folder.

4. Bob's yer uncle.
