Fog of War Removal

[Aero]

Just good practice, for when steam decides it too busy for ya.

[erasmus777]

I did two things and now it works:

Deleted the files I had kept in the directory as backups, renamed to say "scripting.backuplua"
Copied the files over to main_2 as well

I think it might load anything named scripting (regardless of file type)

Plus is there any need for backups when, if you want the vanilla file, you just delete the modified one then tell steam to verify the integrity of the game?

There's another way to do this.

1) Open your saved game with the ESF editor. Go to:
CAMPAIGN_ENV/CAMPAIGN_MODEL/WORLD/FACTION_ARRAY/FACTION_ARRAY

2) Open the first faction. It should be yours. Click on CAMPAIGN_SHROUD and change the boolean to "false." Save.

3) Start ETW and load your saved game. The FOW will be gone.

Hi all,

Does the FOW have to do with playing ALL factions including the emergent ones or not?

IF so, Are the directions given here correct and will they work with the next big patch?

Yes, both the script and the esf methods work and should continue to do so regardless of the patches. I'm not exactly sure what you're asking in the first sentence, but FOW removal works for any faction you play with, emergent, minor, or major.

Hi erasmus777,

+Rep to you, of course.

What I was asking is: Can I actually play as ALL factions with the FOW removed or not?

How do I remove FoW in Napoleon Total war?

[maxwku]

I tried to find the "scripting.lua" file to unlock FOW but I was unable to find it. I also tried to use the ESF file editor to open a saved game and remove FOW and I was unable to find the save game??? I'm really confused because I tried to reinstall the game and both times I was forced to install Empire Total War using STEAM. I think because i used STEAM I can not locate the scripting.lua file or any of the saved games. It's like non of hte files usually associated with the total war games are on my computer? Also Steam never ever prompted me to use the second disc, but the game works? But I can't do any kind of editing (unlock factions, lift FOW...) please help.

Here's how to remove the fog of war:

All that's needed is to edit this file

Game_directory..\data\campaigns\main\scripting.lua (as always backup!!)


look for the function OnWorldCreated() and add this line of script to the function

scripting.game_interface:show_shroud(false)


The whole function should end up like this:

local function OnWorldCreated()

scripting.game_interface:technology_osmosis_for_playables_enable_culture("european")

scripting.game_interface:technology_osmosis_for_playables_enable_all()

scripting.game_interface:show_shroud(false)

end


Start a new campaign.

You may also add it to this function if you don't want to start a new campaign but it may not be efficient

OnFactionTurnStart(context)

Here's the result

there is no such folder "main", strange
i need to remove fog of war in "Coalition Campaign"
