GUIDE: Specifics of Modding Alexander - TW

[Bardo]

Yes, the ctds occur in the loading screen just before the ambush battle is loaded. At the same point that other ctds caused by formations that I have seen.

[Bardo]

I think nobody has commented the possibility to make series of historical battles where you need to play one battle to unlock the next battle. You just need:
-to copy inside the folder of the custom battle the void file named "locked", if you want this battle locked by default
-file unlock.txt with the name of the previous battle needed to unlock this battle
-file order.txt with the order of this battle in the series

[Makanyane]

This is probably a silly question....

but with the above do you have to achieve a victory in the first game to unlock the second? That would be rather neat if it did work that way!

[Bardo]

Yes, it works that way.
Not a silly question, in fact I said "you have to PLAY the previous battle", when I should have said "you have to WIN the previous battle to unlock the next". ;)

[Smeel]

Warcry from Bi works in Alexander. Strange, huh? Woulda been awesome if the other attributes and formations would work too

[beatoangelico]

warcry was already in RTW 1.0

Anyone tried to get it to work with -mod:BI? I can enter campaign but not the custom battle (kicked back to faction selection menu)
