Editing Units Help

[Wetworth]

I wanted to edit some troop characteristics, weapons, etc. I looked around the forums and I believe you must edit the files called .csv or OOD with GEditCSV, which I downloaded. I can't seem to find any files that I can edit however, other than the key binds. Will someone point me in the right direction?

How about just changing the weapons a regiment uses? How do I go about that?

It depends on what OOB you want to edit. Is this one you have already downloaded? Or if it's a stock OOB you want to edit, you can get them from the SDK. The SDK also has a great manual that tells you how to edit pretty much every aspect of the game.

So for example, lets say you want to edit the Day 2 Gettysburg Sandbox OOB. You download the SDK, create a mod that looks like My Mod\OOBs\OOB_SB_Gettysburg_Day_2.csv

You edit whatever you want in the OOB_SB_Gettysburg_Day_2.csv, and your changes will show up when the mod is enabled.

Wet,

First of all, relax. You are correct - you will need to edit the .csv files. you can find them in the Data Filessection of the SDK, I believe. You can do everything you want in there. I cannot be more specific since I am at work and the Game is installed on the Home Computer. When I get home I'll write you a path to find them, unless you will have already found them by yourself.

I give you this warning - Make copies of the .csv files and work off them. DO NOT WORK OFF THE ORIGINALS. You can really screw up the game if you do.

I found the files I can edit for sandbox scenerios. I haven't downloaded anything. What is this SDK?

Look towards the very top of the Modifications Section that you posted this.

In one of the Sticky Topics .

After you Download and Install - it will be located in your Work folder, in the games directory.
