How to customize "Unit Pack Mods"

Here is my tutorial how you can add, change or remove something in my several AUM mods.


AUM Empire Wiki page = Additional_Units_Mod

AUM Napoleon Wiki page = Additional_Units_Mod_-_Napoleon

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - EMPIRE (AUM-EMP)

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - NAPOLEON (AUM-NAP)

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - SHOGUN (AUM-SHO)

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - ROME (AUM-ROM)


Please create a backup before you edit the pack file in case that it doesn't load anymore after you changed it.


All tables here are shown with the "vanilla standard table" names between " ". In the pack files of several unit packs these tables have prefixes like this "aum_" or "my_units_" or "nameofmod_".


You need to download the latest Pack File Manager in the related modding tools section of the TWC forums.


A note to the use of the "Pack File Manager" for all players that are not experienced how to use this tool. I recommend to be very careful what you edit in the db tables. One wrong entry can cause CTD's if you don't know exactly what you're doing.


Pack File Manager


Under the title you see in which AUM mods you can use the related customization.


How to change the "limits" of the units

(AUM-EMP AUM-NAP AUM-SHO AUM-ROM)

"units_tables/units".

Scroll to the right until you see the columns "Unit_Limit" and "MP_Unit_Limit". The first sets the limit in the campaign mode and the second sets the limit in multiplayer mode. If you change this value to "0", then you have unlimited units.


AUM-ROM table: 

"main_units/aum_main_units"

Columns: "campaign_cap" and "multiplayer_cap"


How to remove units

(AUM-EMP AUM-NAP AUM-SHO AUM-ROM)


"units_to_groupings_military_permissions_tables/units_to_groupings_military_permissions" or "units_to_exlusive_faction_permissions/units_to_exlusive_faction_permissions"


Search the unit and delete the row.


How to change the "sizes" of the units

(AUM-EMP AUM-NAP AUM-SHO AUM-ROM)


"unit_stats_land_tables/units_stats_land". The second column is called "Unit Size". There you can change the unit size.


AUM-ROM tables:
