Where can I download M2TWEOP?

The latest version of M2TWEOP is located on the "Releases" tab of the M2TWEOP github, here: https://github.com/youneuoy/M2TWEOP-library/releases. You need to download the archive with the word "M2TWEOP" in the title and the extension '.zip' (e.g M2TWEOP-beta-2.14.zip)

How do I install M2TWEOP?

Just unpack the downloaded archive into the folder with your modification (i.e Divide_and_Conquer, Stainless_Steel etc. (NOT THE MEDIEVAL 2 FOLDER).

How do I start a mod with M2TWEOP Enabled?

Configuration

You can enable various features of the Engine Overhaul Project either via the launcher or via it's Lua scripting capability.

To edit the default Lua script, open the file youneouyData/plugins/lua/luaPluginScript.lua.

Here's an example. Here we unlock all the games previously locked console commands, set the max ancillary limit for any character to 16 and allow bodyguard units to replenish automatically back to their proper max unit size.

function onPluginLoad()

M2TWEOP.unlockGameConsoleCommands();

M2TWEOP.setAncillariesLimit(16);

-- Note that this value "100" is multiplied by the unit_size setting

-- i.e on "Huge" size, the multiplier is 2.5 so the actual bodyguard max will be 100 * 2.5 = 250

M2TWEOP.setMaxBgSize(100);

end
