One thing I have never done is create a completely new General, for instance I would love to create Chamberlain because of his record and importance in the war, and he did in fact make it to Major General earlier than the Omnibus of promotions that happened at the end of the war and after. I am assu...

Jerzul, Thank you so much for your very detailed response. Apparently I have been following the exact same steps as you except I have never done anything with any unit files, and I use whatever basic notepad is already on my computer. I agree the spreadsheet I find annoying and the individual files ...

tribeticus

Thank you, I'll be looking forward to figuring these things out.

I'm not a powerhouse like the lot of you guys, so please keep me off the chopping block, some of the back and forth here seems a bit too negative from some of you (not naming names) considering we are talking about what I consider to be the most FUN game of all time...lol. Many of you here, or maybe...

Hi Grimjaw, I agree that lots of editing would require the spreadsheets and the splitter. I am still trying to figure out how to use it effectively. But yes I heed your experience on the matter and hope to learn how to use it soon. Regarding the Generation: NULL, it shows up for all the Generals no ...

So...For those of you undoubtedly standing by earnestly for my latest update (or none of you lol), here is what I have found through troubleshooting on and off the past couple days... The bottom line is: Yes you can edit the Generals directly through the MDL files. What did I discover?: Basic change...

Update for Modding (editing) Newbies like me: I deleted the cache file and surprisingly the general trait I added to Johnston as a test actually worked. Still no change to Walker on his info sheet regarding if he is promotable or not. One thing did change for everyone though, now it says Generation...

Maybe things have changed over a couple years, but I don't seem to be having any luck with the mdl files. Nothing I do seems to change anything. See what Ace said below in the past: Ace December 17th, 2013, 19:44 I was not actually modding model files. I was speaking about scenario event files. I wi...

Sorry it doesnt show when its not enabled, add GenPromotable = 2 as a line after Land Leader. There are 2 Mexican generals Palacio and Zaragosa who have it enabled in their files to show you what it looks like. It doesnt look like much of the process has changed since AACW so the old wiki should be...

WOW. That is all I have to say. I consider myself pretty technical, but I admit I am no programmer and am having a tough time seeing how all these spreadsheets and files talk to each other. I was able to get the portrait changes to work following the leads on the forum, but this part is another lev...

If CW2 follows AACW you can either promote by jumping from one model to another eg from * to **. For this you need to have 2 distinct models for the same general linked together. There is also an entry in the database for a generic promotion which in AACW allowed you to ugrade the same model to a h...

Hello, A few of you responded to me on the Portrait thread, but since this is different I thought I would start a new one so as not to jumble the Portrait thread with digressions.... As you mentioned, a leader can be edited to be able to be promoted from Brigadier to the next two ranks even if the v...

tribeticus

You also need to add a link to the higher level upgraded model. Actually that's the most important thing. I think they'll still promote w/o the max rank being right, but no chance without a link to the higher level model. Thanks guys. I am going to start a new post for this since it isn't exactly r...

tribeticus

Guys is there a way to change which General can be promoted?

Some Generals who even made it to Major and Lieutenant General are stuck at Brigadier.

tribeticus

Thanks for catching this :wacko: A quick fix for Robinson go into Gamedata/models then open file 630 which is JC Robinson and change the line for portrait to read "Unit_USA_JRobinson.png" (minus ") ie delete the C, I think that should get him working. I'll change the download as well. I have only j...

tribeticus

Will these work for current saved games, or do you have to start over a new game? *** Also has anyone noticed that J.C. Robinson in the USA has a totally blank portrait? I can' tell if that happened after I added these models or its a glitch in the game??? Might want to check that one out... Also WH...

Had a try at gathering everything together been some developments since last I was here. here is the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/awmy8ste5vx4mvi/CW2Portraits20160325.zip?dl=0 Gave me a refresher on using the splitter utility now I need one on colorizing :wacko: Check the readme for installing an...

That's true about Pinkerton. Most senior *** is probably the Big Cheese, and we can't really do much except move them. Pinkerton should be POOR SPY, not master spy. He was just about the worst spy of all time, and was instrumental in McClellan's complete misunderstanding and inflating of the Rebel ...

Understood, and looking forward to it, although I have a feeling I will buy it before it comes out on Steam lol

tribeticus

I bet Grimjaw or lukasberger would know the answer to your question.

tribeticus

I'd love to know how to do this, even if just to put Joshua Chamberlain in who became a major general, there are alot of other less important generals in the game, not sure why the guy who won Gettysburg (albeit as a colonel) but got promoted to Major General and took Lee's surrender at Appomattox w...

Leibstandarte wrote:And i agree with you

Thanks man, so any chance you can ask someone in the commercial department when it might come out on Steam, or do you know who people can contact to get any kind of general idea?

tribeticus

Sorry tribeticus but as i said, i'm just the designer. It is not in my hand to set a steam release, its the comercial department who takes this kind of decisions. So there is not fixed date about a steam release. But it could be during this year. Well I am sure we all appreciate you working on this...

Well done? No answer to the question just sarcasm. Would be nice to get some sort of basic response, especially to someone interested in purchasing the game. Not exactly a good way to treat a prospective customer.

tribeticus

And I too would like to know...

30 years war and Napoleon, when will they be released on Steam? I know you can redeem the key, but I'd just like to get them on Steam like I do everything else.

Any idea when this will happen?

Anybody out there have an issue with their mouse in this game? I have tried several mouses and tried other games and I know I do not have a hardware problem. My mouse likes to skitz out in this game, especially when dragging and dropping things, it will just stop dragging anything and then since I h...
