    Default PMTW 1.5 dead bodies for Late era play

    Dead bodies in PMTW 1.5

    I have put together a file (deadpage cords.txt) which provides dead bodies for all of the 230 units in PMTW 1.5 late era battles (Sun Kings Ambition) in custom battle and campaign play mode. This covers all faction units for that era. The same file will give bodies for the two other eras (early and mid) but will only give bodies for about half the units {early era: 110 of 229; mid era 120 of 226 units. These are the units common to the three eras plus a few common to the mid and late era}.
    It is not possible to make a single file which provides bodies for all units and all eras because there are large numbers of units unique to each era and the file is read until a unit is encountered which is not in the particular era’s unit_prod file; at that point the reading stops. A separate file could be made for each era, so we would have three deadpage files, then all units could have bodies but each time you chose to play a different era you would have to paste the appropriate file into the folder where it is read as that folder can only contain one deadpage file.
    The file I have made is the optimum 1 file solution based on the late era. Each of the other eras could have been chosen to have bodies for all the units of that era, and then the other two eras would again have bodies for about half their units provided the file is made so that the 110 common units be at the top of the list in the file . I do not intend to construct these alternative files.

    I will indicate where the the file can be downloaded from in my next post and give some screen shots.

    Here is the link for the deadpage coordinate file for the late era:


    http://rapidshare.com/files/12534358...OORDS.TXT.html

    just download it and Copy the file DEADPAGE COORDS.txt and paste it into the folder

    C:\Program files\PMTW1.5\Medieval Total War Gold Edition\Textures\Men

    (Or what ever you call your installation of the pike and musket mod). This file
    replaces the DEADPAGE COORDS.txt file found there.


    here are a few screenshots of a late era custom battle between the New Model army and the covenanter scots using this file...

    Thumbs up Re: PMTW 1.5 dead bodies for Late era play

    Many thanks Nix. This is really great. I've sometimes thought about trying to do it myself, but it would have been a lot of effort and probably a botch.

    After downloading, I had to rename the file and remove the underscore between the words - just mentioning in case that helps any others.

    Cegorach seems to have disappeared again and this forum is therefore little visited. If 2.0 never arrives , all the more reason to make the best of 1.5

    I'm sure he'll show up eventually. Several times he was written off and each time he came back. He's a profectionist and will not release his mod until it's ready. As we all do, I'm sure he has a life outside this forum.

    Separataely, Ceg once answered a forum question regarding adding dead bodies. He seemed to think the game graphics couldn't handle it, given all his other modifications. Has anyone applied this download? If you have, have you experienced any CTD or other problems?

    Its not the graphics that cannot handle the dead bodies, i was running the mod on a pentium 111 600mhz machine with 128M Ram under windows 98se and it was ok (just) and most gamers now seem to be running much more powerful machines! No, it is the problem of not being able to have dead for all units in all eras if you want to have large numbers of unique units in each era which i suspect put cegorach off providing the file! so dont be afraid give it a go...

    thanks for pointing out the file name problem, the file sharer naming inserted an underscore hence changing the nameof the file! Rename the file DEADPAGE COORDS before pasting it into the ...\textures\men folder

    Thanks. But my vid card still doesn't want to let MTW VI run without funny graphics in battle. And one last thing, you guys all look the same. I really had to follow your nicknames.

    Is this little modification still around somewhere? The link is quite old, and as such, doesn't work anymore. I'd like this for Pike & Musket, as the bodies really do add a lot to the game environment and feel.

    Oh dear, I just read Dyabedes' post... I was about to thank nix!

    Well, I will thank nix, but not as much as I will if I can find the file...

    Any ideas?!

    Well, gentlemen, it's good to see this forum yet has a trickle of life left in it. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we'll get the DEADPAGE COORDS until/unless Cegorach returns with 2.0. So, Glenn, if you ever get to that PMTW 1.5 AAR, it may be that you won't see the carnage left behind by your army. A shame. I always feel a bit robbed when my slain enemy simply....vanishes. Here's to Cegorach and here's to PMTW 2.0!
