Broken Crescent

Released Mod Spotlight:

Medieval 2 - Modding Information

After some initial hold-ups unpacking and working on certain new file types M2TW proved to be one of the most easily modded Total War titles

Modding News:

A New Frontier in M2TW modding now seems possible.
CA have given permission for mods which change values in memory as the game loads. This potentially allows values and behaviours previously hard-coded in the .exe to be changed. Zarathos is leading a team of programmers investigating the possibilities.

Getting into those troublesome files:

allows battle map unit models to be edited in MilkShape 3D
converts the .texture files used for unit skins etc. to .dds files - also converts .dds back to .texture format.
allows the files in .strings.bin format to be converted to normal text files for editing
