#About the changes in 3.0.5
With Unity assets packed, compared to the previous file system in GoW, it’s now impossible to extract image files from within the game.
I don’t know right now if we’ll be able to make the proper changes in order to make GoWM doesn’t look bad, with tons of “No Image” images getting more and more numerous as troops and kingdoms are released. New trait icons also wouldn’t be able to be retrieved, as well as new kingdom banners.
#What I did
To prepare for the inevitable, I went ahead stopped using any images that were imported from the game. Here’s how it looks now:
#How did I do that?
- First, go to
%AppData%\GoW Manager\CustomData(type that in Windows Explorer or similar) and I moved theimgsfolder somewhere else (if you delete it, you won’t be able to retrieve it again!) - On
%AppData%\GoW Manager\CustomData\default-imgsI changed 5 files:no-image(to a transparent image of the same size) and the trait flags (if you still have the official trait files, you can use them to replace the ones indefault-imgs). Here they are, if you want them:

trait_flag_1.png
trait_flag_2.png
trait_flag_3.png

3: I’ve played with settings a little bit until I was satisfied with the results. You can use the preview mode to try out whatever is best for you. If you want to know what settings I’m using, check this:
#What now?
I’ll keep updating GoWM as new troops come out, as I think ashtender wasn’t affected (or maybe @Lyya found a workaround for this) by this major update. GoWM won’t look as nice, but it’ll still work as intended.
Ideally, we might some day change the layout considering that we won’t ever import images again, but that’s not very likely to happen, at least in the foreseeable future, although I did have a few ideas for it: madeas family reunion download - Album on Imgur
I hope you can still enjoy GoWM!
