Thread: changing the faction campaign intros

    Default changing the faction campaign intros

    Hi There,

    How do you change the campaign intros for each faction - the ones that appear as text on the main menu? I'm presuming there's a text file somewhere that you can edit?

    Any advice on this tipic welcome and much appreciated. Many thanks!

    campaign_descriptions.txt in data\text. You'll need alpaca's string.bin converter and python (which is free) and need to know how to unpack files.
    How to unpack specific files to they respective folders:
    make a new .cmd in Medieval II Total War\tools\unpacker and put this inside after you right-click edit.
    Code:
    unpacker --source="..\..\packs\*.pack" --destination=..\..\--filter=[name of file goes here w/o brackets]

    Hi Lonck,

    Many thanks for this. I've got the campaigns_description.txt unpacked and am ready to edit it.

    When I've finished, do I just drop it in the data folder? And do I need to delete any BIN file or is itOK just to paste in the edited txt file?

    leave it in data\text along with the string.bin.
