Now the way I edit UI or variantmeshdefinitons (we’ll get to them in a bit), is to extract them to a folder on my desktop. Click the “Game” button at the top, and ensure its set to TWH (Total War Warhammer).
When you first install it, you’ll be asked to direct it to your installations of any Total War games you own.įirstly, open it up. Here you can edit most tables in the game, and even those which are Assembly Kit only will require PFM for a little bit of polishing. The Pack File Manager, hereafter known as “PFM” is the tool you’ll be using most often. How the Pack File Manager Works II: How the Pack File Manager Works Go to Library – Tools and download “Total War: Warhammer – Assembly Kit BETA”.Ī third tool you’ll need is Notepad++ or an equivalent.įinally, you’ll also need a computer art editing thing such as, gimp or Photoshop depending on which tool you prefer and how artistic you want to be. To download this you need a Steam account. The second tool every modder needs before adventuring into the wild is the Assembly Kit. This will be your main tool with which to create and fix your mods.
Now to the actual guide.īefore you can hop into the realm of modding and start creating your brave new world of Warhammer tweaks and balances, you will require a few tools.įirst and foremost amongst them, the Total War: Warhammer Pack File Manager. Hopefully the ability to import custom models into the game, battle map creation and additional areas of modding will become available in the future as Creative Assembly releases the tools to do so. At the moment you can add unit stats, animations, UI, text files, campaign starting positions, add new units, add entirely new features and gamemodes, and much much more.
If you have a network of people to turn to, the struggles you run into are less and everything goes more smoothly.Ĭreative Assembly's "Total War" series has quite a huge degree of moddability. We're pretty much all fairly friendly and will help as best we can if we can. I'd suggest networking, and not feeling afraid to add fellow modders and ask questions if you're stuck. Not all of modding is easy sailing however, you may come up against roadblocks that consume hours of your time, until you inevitably tweak a single value and it all starts working perfectly. The skills it requires are an ability to problem solve, determination and being able to commit time to a project. Before we begin, I'd like to reassure you that modding truly is easy. This guide will aim to teach you the very basics of how modding works, primarily through the use of the Assembly Kit and the Pack File Manager. He's a much better Warhammer modder than me, so here ya go.
