i assume im clicking on the wrong device to play the game, though im puzzled why i have blatently changed the stats, yet theres no in game change at all

hmm, strange.

What do you have installed? (Which version etc?)
Have you really tried creating new units after modding this file?

I meant to ask if you had trained new units in a new campaign after this changes. But I guess you have.

Hi there!

I've been looking for a while, but can't find all those previous threads were things are explained... so I'll have to ask some questions that have been done before.

My troopstats file looks like this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

the last number in a row is ammo, not the amount of men, apparantly?

- Where do I edit the number of men in a unit?
- Where do I edit basic morale?
- What values should I use to tweak melee fighting skills?
- Can I edit the fact that arq's can't fire in rain? I recall something about at begin possible.
- Where do I edit damage per piece of ammunition?

Edit:

Searching again right now. I found that the firing in rain thing is solved by the 'is a gun' parameter in projectile stats.
Found a discussion on the missing 'unit size' parameter. Hmm, it's likely that it's caused by some patch. I might just try to add a line. but good chance that won't work. but I was going to reinstall anyway. let's see how it is after that.
I also found enough info on the ranged ammo damage modification.
So now remains..

- Where do I edit basic morale?
- What values should I use to tweak melee fighting skills?

Btw:

- Any way to edit unit costs?
- There's some cool .txt files in the main folder about the different daimyo's, anyone recall that these have been modified before? (People trying to change to daimyo's characteres?) For a modify-newb like me it sounds like you could implement more variation into campaigns by tweaking some of these values. (For instance, Imagawa ALWAYS attacks Shinano 1st turn. It's just an example. there's more of those always-the-same things.) Modifying the imagawa type of daimyo might change this, right?

Sound like a cool thing to try.
- How hard is it to create a 'new' campaign. (Let's say I would want to change which clan has which regions, what units and buildings they start with, and what family they start with...) Is that anyone possible to do for a not-so-techy-at-all dude like me?

just to reinforce that, i want to know everything he wants, plus how my modifcations can take effect with gold edition (hint hint tosainu and barocca

)

I tried adding ,'s and normal numbers of units but with that 120 ashi unit. It didn't work. Though the game ran perfectly fine.

I found something about that by some more digging I did: The game might use an internal set of stats, when the Troopstats file is in it's normal form or unusable. So, if you do some modification but mess it up (just has to be 1 minor error) it will think 'Troopstats = corrupt, so I switch to intern stats'. (Which would give you this situation: the game runs perfect but with normal stats)

Back to your problem btw... > You should try using a Troopstats.txt file that's been succesfully modified by someone else and see if it works then.

[offtopic]Btw: Gold... what's Gold again? Install-material for both S:TW and S:TW MI and S:TW WE? (so you could choose between playing original, original+MI, or warlords?) I'm confused.[/offtopic]

anyways, I'll see what happens after my reinstall
