GUIDE: Specifics of Modding Alexander - TW

[Bardo]

I don't own BI so I can't test it, but you could test:

1- coping the file chat_filter.san from your Alexander/data folder into your the BI\data folder

2- adding "-mod:bi -noalexander" to your shortcut

3- Editing the file descr_strat.txt of BI campaign by adding the line "options bi" at the start of Campaign section (at the top of the file.). It should look like this:

campaign ...
options bi
playable ...

4- Go - ''Rome - Total War folder/bi/data/export_descr_character_traits.txt''
Open the file and add the Immortal description at the end of trait section:

;------------------------------------------
Trait Immortal
Characters family
Hidden

Level Immortal
Description Immortal_desc
EffectsDescription Immortal_effects_desc
Threshold 1

Go - ''Rome - Total War folder/eb/data/export_descr_VnVs_enums.txt''
Open the file and add the specified enums at the far end of the txt file! That should look like this:

Immortal
Immortal_desc
Immortal_effects_desc

I'm not sure, but I guess this could be enough.


EDIT: It seems ATW.exe does not support several features of BI like hordes, swiming, schiltrom/shield_wall, so the above will probably not work...
