Special Stuff Menu

Because you are S.P.E.C.I.A.L!

This menu contains... special features implemented for specific games. Basically, any feature that doesn't really fit in any other place goes here. Here we have:

  • Patch SiegeAI: used in Warhammer 1 & 2 for creating siege maps that the AI can handle. Basically, make your map with the stuff required for the AI to work, and then patch his PackFile with this.
  • Optimize PackFile: reduces the size of your PackFile and increase its compatibility with other mods by cleaning certain stuff on your packfile:
    • DB: Removes unchanged rows from vanilla. If table is empty, it removes it. Ignore files called the same as the vanilla ones (unless you disable that in the settings).
    • Loc: Removes unchanged rows from vanilla.
    • Xml: Removes xml files under the terrain/tiles folder, as those are leftovers of Terry's exports..
  • Generate Dependencies Cache: generates a cache used for things like dependency checking, diagnostics, .... Doesn't work for Empire and Napoleon, yet.
  • Live Export: Exports all script and ui files from the open Pack to the game's data folder with a random number attached, and puts all path mappings into a file in the exe's folder. That way you can, ingame, load that file and it should allow you to load said scripts and ui files without restarting the game.

There's also a Rescue PackFile feature that you SHOULD NOT USE UNLESS INSTRUCTED.
