ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD (AUM) 1.8 for DM + APE + IS + vanilla 업데이트

[PeaceLove]

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD (AUM) 1.8
(now for DarthMod, A Proper Empire and Imperial Splendor)
(I keep this first post always up to date)

This is my first mod and I made it for my personal fun. I decided to release and share it with you.

BACKUP your campaign save games before you try out any mods.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"AUM" is fully save game compatible internally to all past and future releases of my mod.

I suggest that you should BACKUP your "campaign save games" before you try out any mods.

The location for the save games is:
XP C:\Documents and Settings\(Your User Name Here)\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\save_games

VISTA C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\save_games

My mod adds 20 new custom units to ETW. I know that not all are 100% historical. There are other 22 units from "vanilla" which can now be recruited by other factions too. These units are like "mercenaries" who can be recruited like normal units.

These are the units in English / German and size of the units for the normal standalone version or the large Darthmod Commander version:

NEW CUSTOM UNITS:

• Line Infantry Elite - (Elite Linieninfanterie) > 160 men / 300 men

These Line Infantry soldiers are hardly trained and their experience is very useful for your army. They are accurate and have a fast reloading rate.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

• Grenadiers Elite - (Elite Grenadiere) > 160 men / 250 men both without grenades

Grenadiers are large, strong men, armed with muskets and many enemies fear them. They are among the strongest melee infantry in game.

• Marines - (Marineinfanterie) > 160 men / 250 men

Marines fight on board of ships and are experienced melee fighters. They use a sword instead of a bajonet.

These Swiss Mountain Jaegers are skirmishers/scouts and carry almost-silent airguns. They are well suited to stealthy sniping and tactical ambushes. But they have low melee capabilities.

The famous Swiss Pikemen carry long spears of a type that would have been familiar to the soldiers of Alexander the Great.

• Horse Grenadier Guards Elite - (Berittene Elite Grenadiere) > 60 horses / 120 horses both without grenades

These strong Grenadiers reach the battlefield on horses. They can dismount and shoot from horseback.
(Don't give them grenades as it would come to CTD if they throw grenades mounted.)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

• Lancers Elite - (Elite Lanzenkavallerie) > 60 horses / 120 horses
  

These Lancers are armed with a long lance that makes them particularly deadly when charging.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

• Fusiliers - (Füsiliere) > 160 men / 300 men

Fusiliers are Line Infantry who have a good shooting and reloading experience. But they aren't good melee fighters and can't hold the stand against normal Line Infantry or Grenadiers.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

• Pioneers - (Pioniere) > 120 men / 200 men

Pionieers are strong men who can build all battle fortifications, know how to fight in melee and can guard the flanks. But they are poor shooters.

The Prussian Giants or "lange Kerls" Grenadiers are the largest, strongest and most experienced prussian grenadiers. They are armed with muskets and swords and many enemies fear them. They are among the strongest melee infantry in game.

The "Giants" are disabled in the "A Proper Empire" version because this unit is already included by L33tl4m3r.

Information about the mod and the units

- All models, textures, campaign card icons and info card pictures are „vanilla“ if not other mentioned below. HELLFELL and REMO did re-textures of various units.

"patch_aum_graphics_1_0.pack" which includes seven new re-textures. Just put this file in your ETW data directory and it loads automatically.

> HELLFELL made a new texture for my custom "Tsars Guards Elite" of Russia
> REMO made six new "Line Infantry" textures for Britain, France, Russia, Spain, United Provinces and the United States. The musician and the drummer of Russia are new too. Huge rep to this fine men!

- All custom units are only available in the late period of the custom battle screen, except the “Swiss Pikemen” and the three "Mercenaries" who are playable in both periods.

- Not every faction has access to all units in all regions so far. In the campaign mode you have to reach a certain building level and/or acquire a certain technology to recruit a unit.
Examples:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

> 1. Example: „Swiss Pikemen + Jaegers + Guards“ aren’t available in America or India. You can build them only in Europe and not every faction has access to them. They are available at the start of a new campaign.

> 2. Example: “Marines” are only available for factions near the ocean and who where historically a naval power. The Marines aren't available for Austria and Prussia. Britain, France, Spain or the United Provinces can build them. They are available at the start of a new campaign.

> 3. Example: „Line Infantry Elite“ are globally enabled and all major European factions can recruit them. They need the late technology "military_army_machined_rifling" to be recruitable.

> 4. Example: „Mameluks Guards Elite" are only recruitable in Europe and the Middle East. They are only available for the Ottomans.They need the early technology "military_army_wedge_formation" to be recruitable.

- All custom units are recruitable in the following buildings: (if not noticed other)
drill_school, military_academy, army_board, army_staff_college,

- These three buildings are the ultimate military barracks for France, Prussia and Poland.
prest_france_arc_de_triomphe, prest_prussia_brandenburg_gate, prest_poland_akademia

- These three buildings are the latest barracks for the two artillery units.
gunnery_school, ordonance_board, engineer_school

This are the required technologies for my 20 custom units in the campaign:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

from start available: (if you have the required building)
swiss_pikemen >>> no technology required
euro_marines_elite >>> no technology required
west_european_mercs_infantry >>> no technology required
east_european_mercs_infantry >>> no technology required
indian_mercs_infantry >>> no technology required

early:
euro_lancers_elite >>> military_army_wedge_formation
mameluks_guards_elite >>> military_army_wedge_formation
east_indian_cavalry_guards_elite >>> military_army_wedge_formation
don_cossack_cavalry_elite >>> military_army_carbines
horse_grenadier_guards_elite >>> military_army_carbines
euro_pioneers >>> military_army_square_formation

middle:
euro_fusiliers >>>military_army_fire_by_rank
swiss_guards_elite >>> military_army_fire_by_rank
janissaries_guards_elite >>> military_army_fire_by_rank
east_indian_guards_elite >>> military_army_fire_by_rank
russian_tsar_guards_elite >>> military_army_fire_by_rank
prussian_giants_grenadiers_elite >>> military_army_fire_by_rank

late:
swiss_jaegers >>> military_army_light_infantry_doctrine
euro_line_infantry_elite >>> military_army_machined_rifling
euro_grenadiers_elite >>> military_army_machined_rifling

How to see in game which building is needed for a unit:
- click on the tech research button
- go for military and click the military buildings with a right click.
- there you will see which units will be accessible with which buildings

- All units are limited because of the balance in the campaign mode. You can recruit much more elite units than in vanilla, where most of them are limited to one by faction. But they all cost a huge amount of money.

- All grenades are removed from the Grenadiers. If it’s possible to mod the amount of grenades, then I'll add it back.

- I did remove the „fire_and_advance“ and „platoon_fire_grouped“-ability from the units.
(the later ability "improved_platoon_fire_grouped" is still available)

The new patch didn't improve this two firing drills and the AI behavior is without much better (thanks to Darth Vader for his information).

Installation

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

- You can play my mod with several other mods available.

- aum_mod_1_8.pack is the "standalone" version for playing "vanilla" or with all other mods than the three below.

- aum_mod_1_8_dm.pack is fully compatible with “DarthMod 1.9"

- aum_mod_1_8_is.pack is fully compatible with “Imperial Splendor 1.073"

- aum_mod_1_8_proper.pack is fully compatible with “A Proper Empire 1.22"

- patch_aum_graphics_1_0.pack is the graphic pack for ALL versions which includes seven new re-textures by HELLFELL and REMO. Just put this file in your ETW data directory and it loads automatically like your language file.

- The stats for each version are based on the corresponding "major mod". The "standalone" version is based on the "vanilla" stats. (unit size, stats, recruitment and upkeep costs)

1. Download your prefered version of AUM 1.8 (aum_mod_1_8***.pack) below in the post.

The other three files are containing the “localisation.loc” which is available in two language versions. In this files are the unit names and descriptions included.

2. Download the “patch_aum_en_loc_1_8.zip” for an English version.

Download the “patch_aum_ge_loc_1_8.zip” for a German version.

Download the “patch_aum_en_loc_1_8_proper.zip” for an English version of "A Proper Empire" (this language file is required to enable all new units from AUM and APE.The "Giants" are disabled in the "A Proper Empire" version because this unit is already included by L33tl4m3r.

At the moment there isn't a German version of the "proper" language file available.

It is important that you only use one of the three language files at the same time. For example: If you download a newer version of the three language files, then you have to delete the older one.

If you want to try other mods you can rename one of the downloaded language files to "patch_aum_en_loc****.pack_disabled" in your ETW "data" directory and then they aren't loaded automatically.

3. Unzip the the two files using a program such as WinRar or WinZIP

4. Copy the „aum_mod_1_8***.pack“ + “patch_aum_**_loc_1_8***.pack” + "patch_aum_graphics_1_0.pack"to your ETW „data“ directory.

The graphics pack is fully optional.

You could also directly unzip the file into the ETW “data” directory.

5. Use the "Mod Manager" from „LtChambers“ to activate the "aum_mod_1_8***"

or you can add one line below to the end of your "user.empire_script.txt"
mod aum_mod_1_8.pack; for "standalone" version

mod aum_mod_1_8_dm.pack; for "Darthmod" version

mod aum_mod_1_8_is.pack; for "Imperial Splendor" version

mod aum_mod_1_8_proper.pack; for "A Proper Empire" version

The location for the script is:
XP C:\Documents and Settings\(Your User Name Here)\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts

VISTA C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts

The language and the graphics files don't need to be activated with the “Mod Manager” or added to the script. They are in a “patch” format which is loaded automatically.

For people having problems with the mod manager:
Make sure if you're using multiple mods, that the ones that aren't checked are moved to the bottom of the queue. Otherwise the manager attempts to load them and any mod placed after them doesn't get loaded. (Thanks to the Regalia team for making this known)

>>> now you can start Empire and play

- The file “aum_mod_1_8***.pack” does not change, replace or delete any „vanilla“ or other „mod“-files.

- All tables are just added with the prefix „aum_“ and no records are overwritten.

- The file “patch_aum_**_loc_1_8.pack“ does replace the “localisation.loc” to display the new unit names and descriptions.

Deinstallation of AUM and the language file
- If you activate my "AUM" with the "Mod Manager" then you only have to delete my three files and then it's done.

- If you edited your "script" file to load mods, then you have to delete the "AUM" entry too in this file.

Read this if you have problems to see the unit names and descriptions in game

If you have another mod which replaces the “localisation.loc”, then you have several options: (but before... BACKUP now every file you want to edit)

1. Disable the other mod and use only my two files:
The new units are available and you can see the unit names and descriptions in the game.

2. Don't us my “patch_aum_**_loc_1_8.pack“:
The new units are available, but the names aren't visible. The other mod works fine and adds his own unit names to the game.

3. Export, import and merge both files. This is by far the most complicated way to do, because until now it isn't possible to simply add new lines into the language file without importing the whole file.

- open the “patch_aum_**_loc_1_8.pack“
- open the “text” directory
- click on “localisation.loc” and on the right side does appear the content in a table with three columns
- click on “Export TSV” to create an exported “TSV” file and save it to a new folder.
You can call it: “aum_loc.tsv”

- open your other mod file
- open the “text” directory
- click on “localisation.loc”
- click on “Export TSV” to create an exported “TSV” file and save it to the same folder as above. You can call it: “name_ of_ mod_loc.tsv”

- open the “aum_loc.tsv” and go to the end of the file. Then copy the last fifty-five lines.
- open the “name_of_mod_loc.tsv” and paste it under the existing rows. Don't overwrite the other entries and don't change the spacings in this file.
- save the “name_of_mod_loc.tsv”

- now copy your downloaded “patch_aum_**_loc_1_8.pack" and rename it for example to "patch_aum_**_loc_1_8_NEW.pack" (you can call this file how you want, but it is important that you use the prefix "patch_****")

- open the new created “patch_aum_**_loc_1_8_NEW.pack“ mod file
- open the “text” directory
- click on “localisation.loc”
- click on “Import TSV” and add “name_of_mod_loc.tsv” to the pack file. Then save and copy the new created pack file to your ETW “data” directory.

After this whole process you can see the unit names from both mods.

FAQ
Because a lot of people asking me how they can "add/change/delete" something in my mod I've created here a little FAQ for you all.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

How to add "grenades" back to grenadiers:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "Pack File Manager" from LtChambers.
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table "unit_stats_land_tables/aum_units_stats_land". Scroll to the right until you see a column called "Can throw grenades". There you can change "false" to "true". After that save the pack-file.

How to change the limit of units:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table "units_tables/aum_units". Scroll to the right until you see a column called "Unit Limit" (16th). There you can change the "1" or "2" to "10". If you change this to "0", then you have unlimited units. After that save the pack-file.

How to remove the required technology for an unit:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table "unit_required_technology_junctions_tables/aum_unit_required_technology_junction". There you can delete each entry you don't want. After that save the pack-file.

How to add an unit to a group of factions:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table
"units_to_groupings_military_permissions_tables/"
aum_units_to_groupings_military_permissions
Then add a new row with the button. Edit the two new columns like this:
1. column = euro_marines_elite / 2. column = prussia_group
After that save the pack-file and the Prussians can recruit marines too.

How to change the region of an unit:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table "units_tables/aum_units". Scroll to the right until you see a column called "RegionID". There you can change the region to "global, europe, middle_east...". After that save the pack-file.

How to add "rank_fire" to an unit:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table
"unit_to_unit_abilities_junction_tables/aum_unit_to_unit_abilities_junction"

There you can see which unit can do "what": Some of the units can already fire by rank.
add a new row with the button. Edit the two new columns like this:
1. column = UNIT_ID / 2. column = rank_fire

If an unit can use "platoon_fire_grouped" and "improved_platoon_fire_grouped" too, then the unit will use this two fire drills instead of rank fire because they are later researched. If you want to be sure that your unit only uses "rank_fire" you have to delete all rows where the firing drill is "platoon...." and "improved_platoon...".

After that save the pack-file.

Modders

Everybody can use my mod for her/his personal or released mod. Please send me a PM with the link of your mod to ask for permission. All you have to do is to give me credits in your mod thread.

If you are a skinner/modeler who wants to give me his textures, then I will include it into my mod. If you are the creator of a major mod who wants that I make a special unit balanced version for his mod, then please send me a PM.

Credits

Comments, suggestions, problems and balancing issues

If you have any comments, suggestions or problems you can give me feedback here in this thread.

Please write which version of my mod and language file do you use.

I introduced three new versions for major mods which all have different stats. It is important for me to know if they are balanced with the new patch.

The last thing I have to note: English isn’t my mother language and I’m still learning. ;-)

I hope that you're having fun playing my mod and thank you for downloading it! If you like it you could +rep me

뭐를받아야되나요// 왜이렇게다운받는게많지;;?

[키티아이]

모드를 사용하지 않으신다면 aum_mod_1_5.zip 요걸 받으시고 다쓰모드 1.5를 쓰신다면 aum_mod_1_5_dm.zip 요걸 받아서 쓰시면 됩니다.

[키티아이]

병종 종류를 추가하는 팩이네요? 제니세리 총병도 나오고.. 그나저나 해병대 간지 쩌네요! 총검대신 검을 들고 싸운다니 하악..

[Daum Bark]

설치법이 어떻게 되죠?

[엉뚱한조군]

음 이거 모드 실행하니깐 한글패치때문인지 유닛 이름이 표시가 안되더군요 .. patch_aum_en_loc_1.5.zip 를 받아서 하니 표시되긴하나 영문으로 되더군요 국가면 유닛명 유닛특수능력등등이 음 그냥 쓰기에는 허전하고 영어로 쓰자니 아직 모가몬지 몰라서 쓰기가 좀 꺼려지내요 .. 추가 유닛도 모가몬지 모르겠구 . 영어울렁증으로 이거모 해석도 안되고 ...
