Total War: Rome Remastered - Modding
Main Article Creating a New Campaign Map File Differences from RTW Porting a Mod to Rome Remastered Unit Models in Rome Remastered Rome:Total War & Remastered - Modding Index Feral Interactive / Rome Remastered Github

Article explaining the main text file and folder differences in Total War: Rome Remastered as compared to the original Rome: Total War, from initial comparison carried out by Suppanut.

There are other substantial changes to the model texture and environment systems but this article concentrates on the text file changes.

The changes listed here were based on an analysis shortly after the game was released, there may be later changes if the game is patched.

For general information see Total War: Rome Remastered - Modding.

For Feral's explanation of changes and increased limits see Differences & New Features

Data folder

Most of the contents are similar to the original game with some additional files/folders and additional lines.

New Folders

• animals (all new remastered animal models, textures are contained here)
• characters (all new remaster unit models, textures and pack are contained here)
• feral_texture_sheets
• feral_textures
• original_overrides (contain files which would override other files in data folder and subfolder in case original setting option is selected, files and locations which it would replace are stated in data/original_overrides/override_files.txt are moddable)
• string_overrides (this folder is intended for moddable sting overrides, it is empty in the main game but can be used to override strings in contents/resources/en.lproj etc.) - see Feral's guide here
• ui_overrides (overrides UI and menu settings found in data/menu and possibly also those in the .exe)
• toggles (contain toggle switch setting and how they are organized together, moddable) - see Feral's guide here

New folders added to BI\data:

• original_overrides
• shaders
• terrain

New folders added to Alexander/data:

• shaders
• terrain

Important folders within folders:

• terrain/campaign/campaign_name are new folders containing all the mesh and texture components for 3D campaign maps
