flameshroud 16 Apr, 2022 @ 8:23am

Shuji 16 Apr, 2022 @ 3:31am

Goma 21 Jan, 2022 @ 4:20pm 
literally a must have for every WH player.

Is there a way that this mod can remember which units are set to gaurd, skirmish and fire at will? Rather than having to set them every time?

@randy: Lol I know right! Great mod :steamthumbsup:

What's the bet that implement it worse than this mod though 😂
randy 21 Nov, 2021 @ 4:45am 
CA must have been big fans of this mod, since they're adding it as a vanilla feature in WH3. About time!

The last patch for total warhammer 2 is officially out, so please if you ever wanted to officially update your mods now is the ideal time :)

This is one of my absolute favorite mods, the only thing that is missing is a way to label or title each formation
The Black Kaiser 27 Aug, 2021 @ 5:53am 
Thanks for your wonderful mod! I would like to present my mod compilation that includes your mod for others to enjoy!

This is just a fantastic mod. Thank you!
Necropants 22 Jul, 2021 @ 3:38pm 
Thanks for keeping this mod updated. I can barely live without it...

Fixed a UI glitch with one of the buttons I noticed.
prop joe  [author] 14 Jul, 2021 @ 1:09pm 
Pressed the update button, no changes to the mod.
juanliam 24 Jun, 2021 @ 2:10pm 
Superbe je cherchait un mod comme sa .Felicitations
Dirty Camper 27 May, 2021 @ 2:43am 
thank you
Mumm-Ra 20 May, 2021 @ 6:41pm 
man you know what would be dope, if someone could change the deployment zones
prop joe  [author] 26 Apr, 2021 @ 9:16am 
I gave it a quick test ingame and it worked fine, you can try manually deleting formations_new.json from your WH2 folder.
Schtieg 24 Apr, 2021 @ 7:57am 
Crashes my game to desktop. Forgot to use it until like round 120 and after saving my first formation in one battle it would crash when entering any new battles after that. Had to reload an older round, before saving a formation, and remove the mod to get the game working again.
K 30 Mar, 2021 @ 1:06am 
that is what i want thanks!:steamthumbsup:
Pimpin Pippin 26 Mar, 2021 @ 11:07am 
Thanks!
prop joe  [author] 26 Mar, 2021 @ 7:34am 
Updated:
fixed an issue where deleting a formation would make the rest of the buttons not work correctly in that battle
prop joe  [author] 26 Mar, 2021 @ 7:32am 
Hmm, actually the file operation or the json-to-lua decoding really shouldn't crash the game, just stop the mod from working correctly if something goes wrong. I have no idea and no way to test it myself.
Ghoughpteighbteau 22 Mar, 2021 @ 3:48pm 
I'm not sure it's "creating" the file that's the issue. if I have no formations set, the battle will load fine. Then I save one, and finish the battle, the next battle that loads the game will crash to desktop.
prop joe  [author] 21 Mar, 2021 @ 3:38pm 
@Pimpin Pippin
doesn't need an update

@Ghoughpteighbteau
Uh, no idea, most likely related to creating a new file on Unix, even if that should work fine. I don't really have a way to test this right now.
Pimpin Pippin 20 Mar, 2021 @ 9:33am 
Does this mod need an update for the Rakarth patch?
Thank you for your work.
Ghoughpteighbteau 13 Mar, 2021 @ 2:18pm 
I'm experiencing a crash to desktop after I saved a formation with this mod. I'd launch a battle, battle completes load, instant crash to desktop. I dunno where to find diagnostics on this issue. I can only find the dmp's that the TW generates.

I'm on linux, I dunno where I can find diagnostics to provide. if there's anything I can do to help, give me a ping.
prop joe  [author] 11 Feb, 2021 @ 6:33am 
No, you can't, and it's unlikely I can make that work since the battle scripting interface doesn't really give me ways to do that.
Solganis 10 Feb, 2021 @ 9:03pm 
You can't save binds to groups also?
prop joe  [author] 10 Feb, 2021 @ 11:36am 
Updated:
I changed the way formation are saved and applied.

They are now saved and applied by comparing the positions of the units relative to the lord.

So that means you change the formation position by moving the lord (first unit) and then applying the formation. You can also rotate the whole formation by changing the lord rotation (where he's looking).
Pimpin Pippin 6 Feb, 2021 @ 3:36pm 
Thank you!
prop joe  [author] 6 Feb, 2021 @ 10:57am 
Updated:
added a button that tries to calculate the needed rotation automatically
Solganis 18 Jan, 2021 @ 6:22am 
Absolutely godsend QoL feature. Thank you! @prop joe
prop joe  [author] 7 Nov, 2020 @ 4:19pm 
Updated:
fixed the button tooltips not updating their info when you replace a formation
prop joe  [author] 2 Sep, 2020 @ 8:33am 
There is no mod limit. There used to be, but CA fixed that.
Alessar 🐺🦄🦅 2 Sep, 2020 @ 7:55am 
I would love to have a compilation of your mods in a single one to avoid mod count limit! I like them all
Pimpin Pippin 24 Aug, 2020 @ 1:03pm 
Awesome, thank you :)
prop joe  [author] 24 Aug, 2020 @ 7:25am 
OK, now hiding the UI will hide the formation buttons as well.
flameshroud 21 Aug, 2020 @ 2:57am 
Hey mr eggsonlegs. I would uggest to put the game on pause right after you click start battle. That way you dont have the start button either ;)
Necropants 3 Aug, 2020 @ 9:33pm 
I have been looking for this mod for so long, thank you very much for making it. Should be a default feature tbh
EggOnLegs 30 Jul, 2020 @ 9:46am 
Such a needed addition to the game, great stuff! Just a small thing, i'm a fan of taking screenshots before battles when zooming about looking at units. Would it be possible to hide the formation markers when K (Hide the UI button) is pressed? Thanks again, brilliant Mod.
Noah in da House 17 Jul, 2020 @ 4:18pm 
For some reason I am unable to delete a formation from my last DE playthrough. I can add a new one for Dwarves, but when I click on either replace or delete nothing happens. I was able to delete the other DE formation fine though.

The mod worked in single-player; however, in coop, the buttons on the top left were not doing anything except the "plus-sign (+)" button, which only creates a group. The formations buttons were not doing anything in coop. The campaign battle that this was tested on was where my ally "gifted" me her units. We both had the mod installed, of course, and both of us could not save a formation. In single-player, it worked, however, but not in coop.
Lampros 22 Jun, 2020 @ 6:38pm 
Jesus, you make good mods!
Argus 18 Jun, 2020 @ 12:04am 
Good Quality Of Life mod, exactly what I was looking for.
