Modding in R:TW compared to M:TW

[JeromeGrasdyke]

you press the ~ key i think, although i seem to get it up when i press the ` key.

Ah no, that's the console. The -show_err option has to be added to the program command line. What you do is you create a Windows shortcut to RomeTW.exe, open up its Properties, and on the line where it gives the target you add -show_err to the end. Anything on this line other than the name of the executable gets passed to the game at startup, and there are a bunch of options it recognises, such as -ne for running in non-fullscreen mode and -nm for running without movies.

I tryed that (putting -show_err in the command line) but it never worked. It always says that it is not valid. I tryed putting it before, then after (two seperate tries) the ' " ' on the end but it never worked. Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT- *slaps self on head* I didn't realize it needed a space before it... Oops.

What is a Wiki?

See here DJ :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki

First I've heard of it aswell, looks interesting.

How do you locate errors that kick you back to the campaign menu rather then crashing the game?

When you exit the game, the errors caught by show_err will be shown.

It would be very nice if someone from CA could just write us up a step-by-step how-to change movement speeds.

I've read the TWC post about movement speed linked to animation. My concern is that there are default animation speeds, so to slow a unit down you can swap it's RUN animation for it's WALK animation, but then you don't have a WALK speed anymore, and you only get to choose between defaults rather than set your own speeds.

Also, the animation speeds are per-class of unit (spearmen vs. swordmen for instance) so it doesn't yet seem possible to make x spearman faster than y spearman of the same class.

In MTW each unit had three classes of speeds (Walk, Run, Charge) and each was controlled simply by a number you could change to any other number. I understand 3D is more complicated, but this is one of the single biggest irritants I and many other RTW players are having. So, like I said, it would be really nice if someone from CA would write us up a how-to guide to editing unit movement speeds. And please be sure to include the way we change the speeds of individual units and not just entire classifications of unit types.
