| 6s | Hello. |
|---|---|
| 7s | Welcome to the Age of Empires IV guide to Tuning Backs. |
| 11s | Here we're going to discuss what Tuning Backs are, how they function |
| 14s | and some things to keep in mind |
| 16s | when you're working with them. |
| 18s | So, first of all, what is a Tuning Pack? |
| 21s | A Tuning Pack is a set of data that Age of Empires IV |
| 24s | pulls from to determine things like unit statistics |
| 28s | and behavior and appearances and similar things. |
| 34s | It's important to note that |
| 35s | the game can only pull from one of these sets of data at a time. |
| 39s | So only one Tuning Pack can be active |
| 42s | on a game at a time. |
| 46s | The Tuning Pack works |
| 47s | by cloning data and overwriting the preexisting game |
| 52s | data with any new changes that the Tuning Pack makes. |
| 57s | When you first |
| 58s | open your Tuning Pack, it's going to look something similar to this. |
| 61s | You can see your Tuning Pack down here at the bottom of the scenario tree |
| 65s | and notice that it's blank. |
| 66s | There's nothing underneath it. |
| 68s | That's because it's currently not modifying anything. |
| 71s | You haven't cloned any data and you haven't made any changes to that data. |
| 75s | To clone a unit, for instance, to make changes to it, |
| 79s | you can go into the main data in the game and find your unit. |
| 84s | Let's say let's go find an English archer. |
| 87s | To clone the archer |
| 89s | right click and select clone and an interface will pop up. |
| 95s | You can make changes to the description. |
| 97s | And this is very important. |
| 99s | Make sure you check clone override parent settings. |
| 103s | This is going to ensure that your new archer |
| 106s | is going to overwrite the old archer. |
| 109s | Now press Okay. |
| 111s | And now you'll notice that your new archer is underneath your balance pack. |
| 115s | Now you're free to go in |
| 116s | and make any changes you want to this archer and save them. |
| 120s | And when this Tuning Pack is loaded, your new archer |
| 123s | will be the archer that the game uses. |
| 126s | And the old archer will be ignored. |
| 130s | When you're working with Tuning Packs, |
| 133s | you can open the attributes menu to access |
| 137s | any type of data that the Tuning Packs can modify. |
| 142s | But there are two main types |
| 144s | of data here that you're going to find yourself using the most. |
| 147s | And this is EBPS and SBPS. |
| 152s | EBPS stands for Entity Blueprints |
| 156s | and this contains all the unit's core statistics |
| 159s | like their movement, their hit points, their damage, |
| 163s | and a whole bunch of stuff similar to that. |
| 167s | SBPS stands for squad blueprints, |
| 172s | and this governs anything involving the artificial intelligence |
| 176s | of the unit, the behavior, how they behave in formations, |
| 180s | and things like that. |
| 185s | There's a couple of things you can do |
| 187s | while you're working with Tuning Packs that'll make your life much easier. |
| 191s | The first thing is to use the find in attributes |
| 196s | search function. |
| 197s | Click this and you can search for anything you want. |
| 200s | Let's search for Archer |
| 204s | and in the find results at the bottom |
| 206s | is every associated search result for Archer. |
| 210s | This is by far the most easy way |
| 213s | to search the vast amount of data available within the Tuning Pack. |
| 220s | The second thing is using spacebar. |
| 222s | Spacebar will drill down and open |
| 226s | the type of data that's associated with what you currently have selected. |
| 230s | So, for instance, if I go into SBPS and I want to see how the archer behaves |
| 235s | in a formation wedge, I press this and a press spacebar, and now |
| 238s | you're instantly taken to that data and you can begin making changes. |
| 244s | Well, that covers the basics of Tuning Packs. |
| 247s | Thank you for watching and happy modding. |
