Remember Deployment Formations

Description
Still works, I'm not updating it until it actually requires an update. If the launcher warning bothers you use a mod manager.

Adds a way to save and load the army formation during deployment.

Arrange your army and press the button to save it into a formation. You can then apply that formation during battle deployment phases in future battles and the mod will arrange the units in the same way.

The formation is saved relative to the lord, reposition the lord and rotate him to change the formation position and orientation when you click the Apply Formation button.
You can use normal game shortcuts (ctrl+a to select all units, hold alt and drag them, hold ctrl and move the mouse to rotate them) to make minor adjustments after.

If you add new units to the army, or remove units it'll still work fine, but you may want to rearrange those new units and replace the formation.
The script isn't smart enough to shrink the formation if units are wounded.

Formations are saved into SteamsteamappscommonTotal War WARHAMMER IIIformations_new.json, you can shuffle copies of this file if you have concurrent campaigns with different factions.

Known Issues
Formations cannot be applied if there are locked groups (the little padlock icon). Unlock the locked groups before applying.

FAQ
Add new features: remember formations by faction, option to give formations names etc.?
I hear you, I'll see what I can do.

Compatibility?
It's compatible with everything (SFO and most mods don't actually touch battle scripts).
Didn't test in multiplayer, but someone reported it works.

Thanks for making this. Is there any chance you might do a compatibility patch or version for Catalph's The Southern Realms TEB?

Thanks, stupid me forgot to tick the green button in launcher. Didint realize that game disables this mod on default as its "for older version". Works without any issues now.

I gave it a quick test in custom battle and the buttons show.

Seems to not work atm, or I'm missing something. Can't see any new buttons when I start battle.
