Morghs Editing software question

[Lithesse Aziran]

To those who are familliar with editing the game with this editor, Morghs. I post this question to you. I am playing mod Tocan's Calradia, which is essentially a beefed up native mode.

The Rhodok Sharpshooters were turned into Rhodok Arbalists.. instead of the SIEGE CROSSBOW they run an ARBALEST...


So... I replaced the Arbalest with the Siegecrossbow on the Rhodok Sharpshooter, updated troop info and saved the file.

When it asked me to put a Variable in on the item I added, i just set it to a number that actually put the siege crossbow in the list.


However, it does not show up in game, even with a new save. I thought this should be a pretty straight forward notion, replacing a troop inventory item with another item.

What exactly is going wrong here? I just want to switch crossbows on an existent troop.

What version of Morgh's tools are you using? The newest version I think is ver 1.40 and I don't recall any prompt asking for a variable when you add/remove new items on a troop. It should be indeed just a straight forward add/delete selected item, update troop and save. No need for a new game as well.

file version says 1.40. When I added the item without a # it said enter variable 1-1600 or so. i put in 1 it became a tutorial item, 2 another tutorial item, 3 another.. 10 put it as a siege bow, but its number was 686.. i dont know.

it isnt just clean cut and working for me.

Ok so the number part is, either or, add the itme by # or by name. Still... it shows up in the list and doesnt register the change.

As it seems, it comes down to a save conflict due to, authoritzed restriction. I edited the troops.txt and successfully renamed Sharpshooter. However, they are still using the Arbalest, do you know what file/coding I would edit to change the item they use to SiegeCrossbow?

[What larks!!]

Try again with Morgh's. it's really the best tool to mod troop txt imo.
On the available items list, just highlight item you want to add/remove and just click on the add item button. You can filter it out by looking for Siege_Crossbow as well.

Oh, and did you set the save/load path correctly to Tocan's mod?

[Lithesse Aziran]

As far as I can tell, yes, only it won't register because my Authority Access restriction. When i extract a file straight to modules folder, it will not appear because of that restriction, so i have to save elsewhere and place it in..

now the given code it gave me on changing the siege crossbow for sharpshooters, i just went and put it in the line for troops.txt, still didn't change.

I just need that siegecrossbow in their list and the arbalest out, that would be the numerical coding morghs provides after you update the troop?

[Lithesse Aziran]

Whenever I reload morghs, it shows the item as in the list the name changed etc.. it just does not affectively adjust the in game change.

[What larks!!]

Hmm, do you have admin rights on your user account? Try running morgh's as an admin and save your changes again and see if they show up ingame.

[Lithesse Aziran]

Running as administrator reverted the weapon back to arbalest for the first time since ive attempted this. i will have to test it after a bit..maybe the answer i needed.

Success, thank you much for that insight!
