Modding Questions Thread

[The W:AB Noob]

Not really a question, more like a useful advice :

Don't set unit costs to 0 (zero). The game will crash.

( This message was brought to you by almost 2 weekend's worth of wasted effort until I figured out the above )

really? it worked in W:AB...
BTW, what units are you setting to 0...

Indeed, W:AB had no such issues. It took me by surprise as well.

As for what units I intended to set to 0 cost (now will cost 1 ) ... all of them. It's for my mod, and it's an ambitious one, geared on representing military engagements. The First Prototype is halfway done and with luck I will release it today, or worst case, tomorrow. Call it my way of celebrating the coming release of the game.

Ooh...
Patch 77? I might have to try it out!

1 point Uldoy II's represent military engagements?

I'm curious how to add the maps that are larger than 4v4 to Skirmish mode, once the game comes out, since they will undoubtedly only give us maps up to 4v4 in size by default. Is there a simple way to go about enabling the rest of the maps in Skirmish mode? (I know that as of today, the AI does not play naval maps yet, but I'm talking about once the game is complete and officially launched).

Thanks!

1 point Udaloy, are you nuts ?! No,no,no. Taking small bites for now. Land warfare only.

1: open pc\ndf\patchable\misc\globals.ndfbin

2: open class 14 (TModernWarfareMultiMapInfo)

3: Set the NbMinPlayers value to null for each map (Currently only Asgard (instance 126, 127), Gjoll doesn't seem to be ingame yet)

So I'm new to modding Wargame and I've gotten some basics down, but can someone tell me how I can rename units? I can't seem to figure it out.

Ha ha! COMThing beat me to it last time, I won't let it happen again!
The name files are not in the NDF_Win.dat but in the ZZ_Win.dat. THe best ZZ_Win.dat file now is Wargame Red Dragon\Data\WARGAME\PC\240000061\240000074, last file down.

Then open pc/localization/us/localization/unites.dic
The US in the middle means English

Here are some extra facts in celebration of one more satisfied customer:
Though a ZZ_Win.dat is included in the folder of every new patch, it does not necessarily mean that the unites.dic files is in there. Eugen will only send it out again when they need to, meaning when there is a new unit or a renamed unit. Otherwise, the game will try to look for it in the newest patch. Although the new patch 92 looks like it has some renames...

I wasn't so sure about this since I never seem to open the right one
