sup dude hope all's good, are you close to finishing v2.0?

Yup! Sorry for the wait, I spent way too long trying to get my old version of the PFM working instead of d/ling the new one.

Lemme know what you think.

nice, will do!

are there download instructions anywhere?

also do you know why setting up screens isn't a thing in darthmod or did you remove it? Can it be added back in?

and just FYI the file needs your permission to be access and ive sent the request

I've adjusted the permissions now so it should work w/ anyone. Let me know if you still can't access it and I can try another host. Instructions are included in the .zip file (the readme) which also has the "corrected" changelist, integrating the adjustments to 1.5 with 1.5's adjustments to the original Darthmod.

Re: screens, I'm not sure what you're talking about here. Can you clarify?

thanks its working now

right so i was doing some unit testing with sengoku jidai units yesterday and when i right clicked on some of the units to bring up their encyclopedia entries i noticed 'screens' and 'bamboo wall' under their abilities.

I've never noticed this before and have never used them in shogun 2 but they sound really interesting and remind me of the deployable shields at the end of The Last Samurai and the deployable wooden stakes english longbowmen had in M2. Like i said ive never used them before but its sounds like they could add something to the game. None of the FoTS units have either ability on their unit cards in FoTS which would explain why vanilla FoTS and vanilla darthmod dont have those abilities in them. That said seeing as those abilities are in the vanilla gamefiles and from what i gather units can be assigned abilities by essentially ticking them on a checklist, i'm wondering if 'bamboo wall' and 'screens' could be assigned to FoTS units and custom units.
Now idk how much they were actually used during the fall of the samurai, which i've heard was actually quite a peaceful affair, but they'd be nice to have as they sound like they'd contribute to gameplay and those The Last Samurai feels lol

On a separate note while i remember, theres a unit in sengoku jidai called 'hanzo's shadows' which are like elite kisho ninjas (anbu if you watch naurto) which would be a good addition to FoTS

Okay, I'm not sure how to assign abilities to units yet (there's no cell for that in the unit stats tables) but based on the unit abilities database for screens, they're not an effect that "requires enabling," so presumably it's something that happens automatically? I'll keep looking to see if I can find out where unit abilities are assigned.

I'm not sure why Darth would have disabled these skills, so assuming they're still activated,I can only assume this issue has to do with them only being usable during the deployment phase--perhaps they're deactivated if you adjust the placement of troops post-deployment? I'm always making small positioning adjustments after starting a battle, so I probably wouldn't notice.

Anyway, if you're interested in further changes, lemme know. I'm gonna try out some things for myself: tinkering with auto-resolve multipliers, buffing FotS gunpowder units a bit, adjusting with the Shinsengumi. I'd love to be able to limit the Shinsengumi HQ construction to just Edo and Kyoto, too, but I'm not sure if that's possible.

hey how is the 2.0 update going is it abandoned?

Kinda got distracted by other things, but I plan on returning to it once I get my new PC built. Will likely be extra motivated once I'm able to max out all the visual settings and unit sizes, I imagine.

any chance the update can include the Initial Unit's Stats Fix mod? https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?637550-Initial-Unit-s-Stats-Fix-1-0
