Oh really? Hrmm... dang that's all i really wanted to access MOD wise at the moment. Has anyone successfully unpacked it once yet?

check TWC.

I think a few people have.

try modifying the command to something along the lines of

emp_unpacker.py -p pack3.pack -u all

that might work, from memory.

Ah thanks. Though i doubt my ability with coding i'm more of an artist :P So i'm useless with the real work!

I got all of them unpacked, I can't remember the link but its in the TWC forums, someone made a program that unpacks everything, you just have to have the orginal unpacker as a requirement. The flag textures are neat, there are some unique flags that I was able to identify like England Republic or US Monarchy. The uniform textures are a little disappointing because at the moment it seems as if everyone shares the same textures. If you take a look, everyone has white coats with different colored cuffs and turnbacks, yet obviously in the game the English are wearing red for example. I haven't been able to figure out how the game knows who wears what color and how to change it. I hope it's just a demo issue or if it isn't, that modders can still mod the uniforms because it would suck if you change the Line Inf uniform to pink for example and then every country in your game that has Line Inf goes pink.

Thanks, i eventually found it and now have access to all the unpacked files. Although my current obstacle is finding a program that can open the unit models... as it is not a native to 3DS Max it seems. :(

I'm sure the tools won't be long in comming out considering they will have a day one patch.

I hope so! My biggest reason for getting the game is MOD'ing it... my PC ain't crash-hot enough to enjoy the game with all the bells and whistles, plus the era it is set in doesn't appeal to me as much as earlier eras.
