    Default Unlimited time and flaming arrows?

    I know the unlimited time is possible, but i went to the startpos file and i cant find anywhere where it says the eras ending time, i saw a thread that said to add a certain line, but where in that file do i add that line? i wanted to begin in the early era but i dont want unlimited , i wanted to end in the year 1700, is this possible? and how would i do it? also, are flaming arrows possible via modding, i know they come available in RTW, but i wasnt sure if u could mod them into MTW.

    please bare in mind i am not a modder and have very little idea of what im doing, so if you can help, please type in a way that a little kid could understand lol.
    thanks guys

    Default Re: Unlimited time and flaming arrows?

    Yes, it's in campmap\startpos\[era].txt file, just add this line after these with starting data:

    SetGameEndDate:: 1700

    ie:

    SetStartDate:: 1087
    SetPeriod:: EARLY
    SetEarlyPeriodStartDate:: 1087
    SetHighPeriodStartDate:: 1205
    SetLatePeriodStartDate:: 1321
    SetGameEndDate:: 1700

    ---

    Flaming ammo... yes...

    In file PROJECTILESTATS.TXT there are projectiles named:

    flaming_arrow
    flaming_rock
    flaming_trebuchet
    flaming_mangonel

    Try to copy their stats replacing these existing in already used projectiles. Or just note the last collumns:

    FlamingProjectile IsFlaming

    And change their values. For example use longbow as flaming, change longbowmen to normal bowmen etc.

    Sadly, I don't know codes for flaming ammo (as are for short bow = sbow, crossbow = xbow etc.).

    For easier editing use great Dragon MTW editor:
