What is a Batch File?

[Rhyfelwyr]

All the readme says is:

- To use the modified files create a batch file in your
Medieval II: Total War folder

- In the batch file add the following line

medieval2.exe --io.file_first

I'm a noob at this sort of thing, so I'm not really sure what to do.

Open notpad.

Copy "medieval2.exe --io.file_first" into it.

Click save.

When asked for a name, name it "MyMod.bat".

thats your bat file done.

Or download my mod from my Sig and go into the folders after unpacking it, in the M2TW folder their is a Bat file and a Shortcut. Copy the shortcut to your desktop, and put the bat file in your own M2TW folder.

So the file just contains the one line?

EDIT: Where do I save this to?

[Ciaran]

Yes, .bat files are simple.

It should go into the M2TW root directory, that´s where you installed the game to and where the Medieval2.exe is located, in my case, for example, that would be:
c:\programme\games\Medieval2

I've created the Batch file, but my changes still aren't appearing in game. I changed the stats of Mailed Knights in export_descr_unit, and when I look at the file, its the way I left it, with the edited stats. It's just not appearing in-game.

EDIT: Never mind I was trying to run it through the M2TW shortcut.
