@rafael25050 I just got a response about the email support ticket I put in with my email server. Apparently they only had logs of one email sent to the account and it was my test email. You may have typo'd the email address. Once again, if you send your mod file to "genreless@users.sourceforge.net" I will look at it to see if I can tell what is going wrong for you.
24 Feb, 2024 @ 9:20pm 
Genreless, hi, do you have any news for me? please excuse me for being annoying
23 Feb, 2024 @ 9:07pm 
thanks buddy, i just sent you the email
23 Feb, 2024 @ 3:32pm 
If you email a copy of your mod to genreless@users.sourceforge.net, I'll take a look at it and see if I can tell what has changed. It may also help if you can email me a copy of your mod from before things stopped working if you still have it.

@Lampros unfortunately I haven't been able to dedicate the time to create the schema files that tell PFM how to decode tables for WH3 or Troy yet, so while I think it is technically capable for most tables, it doesn't know how currently.
4 Apr, 2023 @ 8:04pm 
So is PFM not usable for WH3?
27 Feb, 2023 @ 9:58am 
That being said, since this is the first I'm hearing of problems with Windows 11 while it's been out so long and you're also having problems with Mod Manager, it might be an issue with your installation of the .NET Framework. PFM requires version 4.0 or newer of the .NET Framework be installed to run (and yes, I'm aware we should communicate that more clearly than we do).
26 Feb, 2023 @ 7:58pm 
I don't have a computer running Windows 11 to check if there is a problem with PFM or what that problem might be on Windows 11. Also, when you have a problem that you want addressed, I generally recommend creating a thread in the discussions section as it is far easier to make focused responses in a thread than on the group's comments where there are occasionally multiple conversations going on simultaneously.
21 Feb, 2023 @ 2:26pm 
CA and Sega stopped supporting these I think but tens of thousands of us still love ETW, NTW, MTW2 and the original RTW. All of us will be forced to use Windows 11 eventually we need a fix. Who can we contact?
21 Feb, 2023 @ 1:24pm 
@Ordoprinceps Having same problem. Hopefully there is a fix soon.
16 Feb, 2023 @ 7:21am 
Neither PFM nor Mod Manager (MM) will work for me in Windows 11. I had to put my TW legacy games on compatibility mod to use them with windows 11. Has any found a way to use PFM or MM in windows 11?
18 May, 2022 @ 7:48am 
Mine doesn't show "Please point to a location of R2TW". Shows all the other games tho.
12 May, 2021 @ 2:15pm 
@Hannibal. L you don't have to extract PFM to a game's data folder, you can just put it in any folder you want. Without seeing what errors you are getting I can only guess at what your problem is, but it might be most games' data folders being in Program Files, and thus needing administrator access to modify, or you might not have a current installation of the .NET framework.
10 May, 2021 @ 8:52pm 
Can someone help me?

I'm trying to open PFM and it keeps give me like three different error codes. When I'm downloading PFM ver. 5.2.4 and extract all files to data folder, and then try to open PFM, that's when the error codes show up.

I'm new to modding, but can't even get started. What I'm supposed to do with PFM when downloading it?

Hello, can someone tell me wich file contains unit LOD in Empire : Total War--and how to edit it, so I can increase it, wich will remove those ugly 2D sprites? Thank you.
16 Jan, 2021 @ 9:33pm 
You can either directly edit gamedirs.txt or delete it to trigger the prompts for your game locations again. Unfortunately, making an easier method is currently low on our list of priorities.
16 Jan, 2021 @ 1:47pm 
How do I add a new game to the PFM? I recently installed STW2.

Does anyone know how to edit birth rate in RTW2?
26 Jun, 2020 @ 3:04am 
@dhityariendra unfortunately, I don't know how to help with that problem
25 Jun, 2020 @ 12:58am 
@Genreless please help me with TW3K I can't go to my next turn due to reform pending already full
23 Jun, 2020 @ 5:49pm 
@Genreless That would be awesome if you could!! I'm trying to correct a family tree mod and being able to duplicate/move/delete entries there would really help. Thanks!
23 Jun, 2020 @ 5:58am 
@kaukui The family_tree/family_member entries are both "Record" entries in the esf file. It looks like the right-click menu only comes up on children of "Record_Block" entries. I would guess this was to prevent people from easily messing up their esf files as most entries that deal well with duplication are in Record_Blocks. A quick check looks like removing that restriction should be pretty easy but I can't push that update live immediately (expect it within the next few days) and am going to see if I can quickly figure out how to add a toggle to a menu so the fix doesn't entirely remove the safety mechanism.

@✠ M I N O S ✠
Thanks for the reply, but RPFM only works for me when editing db files. I need to edit the startpos. I've also tried saveparse but that has the same problem as regular PFM i,e, I can't use the duplicate/move/delete function on the family tree table (which is in the startpos). I'll keep at it tho. Thanks again.
21 Jun, 2020 @ 4:45am 
@ kaukui :

Try to use rusted Packfile Manager from Frodo for Example.
It's anyways superior in many Ways.
I rarely use this old pfm only for Cases, in which rpfm doesn't work and that is only for specific old Tables from old Games, but this should have also been fixed now.
20 Jun, 2020 @ 4:34pm 
Hi y'all. Is it possible, in a future update, to be able to use the duplicate/move/delete function on the family_tree/family_member entries for PFM with Rome 2? Or is there an alternate way of doing that?
13 Jun, 2020 @ 5:56am 
hey my friend told me i should put a comment here, so pretty much im looking for some help on making a custom mod for Attila, like i have the models and the stats written down aswell as the pictures in tidy folders, ive never been good at that part and i was hoping for some help and he told me to ask here, add me if you're interested! id pay!
21 May, 2020 @ 3:37pm 
i simply added in master schemas (+ changed max version to 3 in max version TWH2):

<table table_name='unit_variants_colours_tables'
table_version='3' >
<field fkey='unit_variants_tables.name' name='unit_variant' type='optstring_ascii' />
<field fkey='factions_tables.key' name='faction' type='optstring_ascii' />
<field name='primary_colour_r' type='int' />
<field name='primary_colour_g' type='int' />
<field name='primary_colour_b' type='int' />
<field name='secondary_colour_r' type='int' />
<field name='secondary_colour_g' type='int' />
<field name='secondary_colour_b' type='int' />
<field name='tertiary_colour_r' type='int' />
<field name='tertiary_colour_g' type='int' />
<field name='tertiary_colour_b' type='int' />
<field fkey='uniform_type_enums_tables.key' name='soldier_type' type='optstring_ascii' />
<field name='key' type='int' pk='true' />
</table>
21 May, 2020 @ 3:37pm 
is there a way to read or update unit_variants_colours table ?

im stuck since 4 hours, but PFM is refusing fully to read it, i tried to update schema (i havent done this before, i tried it for the first time with tutorials), now PFM sees the table as black "so readable in theory" but now it creates an error message

any help ?

23 Feb, 2020 @ 8:41pm 
@Genreless, I made some advance on the erase issue !
22 Jan, 2020 @ 1:11am 
Ahh gotcha, thanks for everything you do btw :)
21 Jan, 2020 @ 11:19am 
@sleeve that's because the latest 3K patch introduced new table versions and I'm horrendously behind on writing schemas for 3K. I also unfortunately don't have the time to spare to catch up on that right now.
18 Jan, 2020 @ 3:59pm 
@sleeve I have the same problem.
17 Jan, 2020 @ 9:52pm 
Hi, certain tables in 3K are now in red and cannot be opened: garrison and projectiles, any solutions?
13 Dec, 2019 @ 11:10am 
quick question: I am currently using PFM v4.1.2 to mod Shogun2, but for some reason the mod launcher doesn't seem to accept the files.
does anyone have an idea, what i am doing wrong?
20 Nov, 2019 @ 4:27am 
@Cheblavsky I wish I had time to finish implementing schemas for 3K's tables but I have to focus on finding myself a job as I've been unemployed for far too long. If you want to use PFM for 3K I have written a tutorial [www.twcenter.net] on creating schemas for PFM or you can try RPFM though I don't like recommending the competition even if I'm only doing so because I don't have the time to give PFM the attention it needs.
16 Nov, 2019 @ 10:06am 
It's pfm work for 3K? :lunar2019scowlingpig:
15 Nov, 2019 @ 6:54pm 
Thanks, so I will use the latest version of PFM and if there is a problem problem I will report it.
15 Nov, 2019 @ 3:54pm 
PFM should still be able to process all of R2's patch 19 tables. We typically don't remove old tables' schema entries from the schemas. If you find a table that won't open (other than the models tables) please tell me and I'll try to find time to go back and fix their schema entry.
11 Nov, 2019 @ 7:03am 
I would like to use TWR2 patch19 because I want to use a mod that has been updated for patch19. I allso want to make a small mod to use in that combination. Do I have to use an older version of PFM to make a mod for patch19 and if so witch one?
19 Sep, 2019 @ 4:45pm 
@genereless, sure, but that's the problem. No error message. Just crash to desktop.
18 Sep, 2019 @ 11:01pm 
@FreeMelania To not create a derailing conversation in the group comments, can you create a discussion thread that specifies which game the mods you are trying to open are for and what the crash message tends to be?
18 Sep, 2019 @ 6:23pm 
Trying to bring back a mod after the author vanished (was friend now account is just gone). He had just updated it to latest version. I've used PFM plenty of times before, but I can't even open his .pack file with 5.2.3. Instant crash. I've tried opening up countless other up-to-date mods. Instant crash. I was able to open up one of mine, but that doesn't modify any core tables.
