Sucess with mdding the demo!

[frogbeastegg]

most of these can be simply edited in the perferences.txt

i removed green arrows, increased unit size. and there are more you can simply do in this list.

Anyone want to outline how to fix much of my list in step by step, idiot level instructions? My modding experience is limited and I've never worked with anything like RTW's setup.

I have an XVI32 hex editor and for the life of me i can't understand anything on it, except the last portion ok i'm with froggy in this one i don't know how to mod, so if anyone can help i'll appreciate it

In the main demo folder you find the txt file called preferences.txt. Look for DISABLE_ARROW_MARKERS and change FALSE to TRUE

That's the kind of moron proof info I was looking for, thanks. Quite painless to do.

Now, how to alter unit sizes? "A moron's guide to editing unit sizes".

Mmm. Seems like you can't do all that much after all. I tried to add a Gallic contingent to Trebia and although they appeared on the faction unit section it would not take me to the battle. It says I didn't position them on the battlefield, but I did. I think it might read from a hidden hardcoded file.

Also, when I tried to make the Senate playable in the Tutorial, it crashed while loading the battle. And the Gauls don't seem to want to fight at all - you can only move them.

got rid of the arrows, but how do i play the Roman faction in Trebia?

Can I have an idiot friendly how to increase unit sizes (a lot)?

This one is easy enough. Just open the dpack_0.pak in a hex editor, and do a search for the word 'playable'. Once you find the one referring to the Trebia battle it currently looks like:

Trebia playable carthage end nonplayable romans_julii end

Swap the two factions. MAKE A BACKUP OF THE FILE FIRST. Of course you know that. I find it easiest to insert the names correctly by clicking on the first letter of the faction and typing in the other faction exactly as it appears, then deleting the faction that was just there. I do it that way cause it seems to be necessary for the spacing to be correct, much like the tabs in the MTW files.

Hope that helps.

Aelwyn, where can you find the part about the unit sizes? I'm looking, trying to figure out what the heck all this stuff means, but I'm very confused.
