Having modding problems

Then I would guess you've done something wrong when setting up the folder.

1) Unpack all files, I would recommend to the default data directory (i.e. just use the unpack_all.bat or whatever it's called that you got with the patch).

2) Create a folder in the main M2TW folder called "MyMod".

3) ... "data" in your "MyMod" folder.

4) ... "world" in MyMod\data.

5) ... "maps" in MyMod\data\world.

6) ... "campaign" in MyMod\data\world\maps.

7) ... "text" in MyMod\data.

8) From the default data folder, copy the "data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign" folder into "MyMod\data\world\maps\campaign\" folder (so it'll look identical to the original).

9) ... copy "data\world\maps\base" folder into "MyMod\data\world\maps\" folder.

10) Copy "data\text\imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt" file into the "MyMod\data\text" folder.

11) Create the new MyMod.cfg and mymod.bat files (see previous post).

12) Copy whatever files you want to edit from the original data folder into your MyMod\data folder (and make new folders for the files if you need to). For example, if you just want to edit unit stats, only copy "export_descr_units.txt".

13) Edit the files, run the game.

You also need the sound folder from data folder in the mymod\data folder

(Should've updated thread before posting)

Anyway, if the cutscenes go away, I assume the mod folder is actually working. What files have you been editing and in what way?

**Carl** · 01-08-2007, 01:22

they only go away when i replace the contents of the Medievil.prefrance file with those of the MyMod.cfg file. If i use the .bat file they remain even though the MyMod.cfg file says they shouldn't.

I've removed the Generals Bodygaurds secondery weapon (which I belive is their none lance weapon), and upped their base attack to 24 so I can see at a glance if it's working. Done this for the one used by england and both late and early bodygaurds are affected. it's not showing up in the UI at all.

WAIT, want to check somthing, give me a minute.

Scratch that, I hadn't created a data folder within the MyMod folder. Did that and everything you asked, (except copying the contents of the Text folder across as their isn't on in my game, i havn't got the patch yet, (been enjoy the game too much), and have got my files from the download that came out pre-patch).

Still not working.

Oh, sorry. I meant "data\text\imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt.strings.bin" to "MyMod\data\text". Forgot they were not in text format by default.

You... don't have the patch...? Uhm, I would recommend getting that first...

**Carl** · 01-08-2007, 02:05

Actually I meant their is no folder named text in my M2TW instalatian data folder.

**Aegis** · 01-08-2007, 02:18

Indeed. That's because you haven't unpacked the files, which in turn is because you don't have the patch that enables you to do that. Get it and unpack the files before you go any further.

**Carl** · 01-08-2007, 02:45

Well I DO have the unpacked files as it happens, the pre-patch ones though and no-one seemed to have the unpacker (or need it), pre patch.

As you say I do need it though just for the cav charge improvments. On the other hand, all this SHOULD be working, people didn't have the unpacker pre-patch and got by fine with the files I downloaded so why dosen't it work for me?

Downloading the patch now BTW.
