How do I know if ProblemFixer is installed ?

Thanks !

Actually could you guide me through what I want to do ?. It's been a few months since I last touched M2:TW and I've forgotten most modding I did earlier.

Here's what I want my installation to look like.

1. PureFixer 1.13 by you
2. Free Castle Upkeep by Foz
3. 0.5 Timescale and all events modified to match this timescale.

4. Some other modifications such as tourneys from here:

5. Modification of merc availability to make the Eastern factions have easier access to the mostly eastern mercs but also to enhance the unit roster of the Western factions.

If I do all this is it compatible with Pure ? Which files should I not change ?

Thanks if you can help !

I'd wait on the 1.2 Patch compatible version of ProblemFixer Pure as that will include the Free Upkeep stuff in castles, just not as many units as Foz has given you LOL.

Besides, adding a lot of those tweaks in is going to be difficult although they are all compatible, but I'll go through the basics for you they should, (hopefully), be easy to follow.

You just need to get hold of the Export_Descr_Buildings file, (if you've unpacked the filed it will be in the Data Directory of your M2TW folder), modify it with Foz's program, then put it in the ProblemFixer/Data Folder in your M2TW folder. You'd then need to go into the Export_Descr_Units file in the ProblemFixer folder and add

Code:

, free_upkeep_unit

to the end of the attributes line of every unit that doesn't already have it.

Thats the simple method. Mercs are a bit harder i'm afraid.

You'll find the File in the D:\Program Files\SEGA\M2TW\ProblemFixer\Data\World\Maps\Campaign\Imperial_Campaign Folder. It's called Descr_Mercenaries. If you find all the relevant entries for the Mercs you want to be more common and increase both replenish rate numbers that will increase how quickly they become available.

C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval 2 Total War\ProblemFixer\Data\World\Maps\Campaign\Imperial_Campaign\Descr_Strat.

Edit the timescale in that file and their you go.
