The Modders Guide
21 August 2002
This Document is a compilation of all the modders notes I have at hand, and the result of numerous trial and error experiments,
written by (in no particular order) DrNo, TosaInu, the Count of Flanders, Choco, Tarrak/Kraxis, ShadesWolf, 96mgb, Swoosh So, Target!, Siena72, Emp. Conralius, verysoon, Target, GilJay and all those others I have forgotten, or just as important those whose questions inspired us to try! (oh yes, and me - barocca)
If anyone has anything to add please contact me at The Org's Modding Forum
- where you will also find all of the wise men I have listed above.
or contact me at Clan Doragon's forum - doragon.cjb.net,
or email me at barocca_x@hotmail.com, and I will gladly include all new information
Advice before we start editing
Backup the Contents of the Backdrops Folder
..\Medieval - Total War (Demo Version)\Textures\
and the ..\Medieval - Total War (Demo Version)\Battle\batinit folder
Backdrop Enhancement
Location
..\Medieval - Total War (Demo Version)\Textures\Backdrops
To minimise Errors place the BackDrop batch file (download) in this folder
..\Medieval - Total War (Demo Version)\Textures\Backdrops\
and then run it.
All it does is copy backdrops from folders that have them to folders that do not.
- to minimise the number of steps required some overwriting occurs, BUT the files are being overwritten by copies of themselves.
If it will not run in your system simply open the batch file in notepad and copy manually
(use windows explorer to copy and rename the folders)
the format for each line is
(command "from directory" "to directory" /switches)
So copy the needed "From" directories to the "To" directories
Overwrite where requested!
WARNING - Your backdrops folder is about to change - backup a copy first,
and be aware it will go from 7.46MB to 64MB !! - allowing any combination of Demo map, terrain, season and weather - all explained in this document.
