Modifying the Edain mod
« am: 1. Aug 2016, 12:45 »
Hello everyone, I'm sorry to bother you all but I'm still having no succes with making changes to the Edain mod, as none of my changes will take effect. I've tried using the -mod command but that still launches the regular Edain mod with none of my changes, and I've attempted to follow all the advice in the previous posts, all to no avail. I've also deleted my virtual store to see if that would help but it didn't. If anyone out there could help me I'd be eternally grateful. :)

Hi,
make sure that you modify the weapon.inc etc, because the Edain Team uses a lot inc files.
For example in the edain data file there is a commandset.ini file and a commandset.inc file.
Only if you modified the inc file it works.
With finalbig you can see in which folder they are.

Hello, thank you very much for your response :) I've tried changing things in the weapon.inc file but that still doesn't have any effect either, even in the -mod shortcut, is there anything else I could be doing wrong?

Where are you editing the bigs? If you edit them directly in the RotWk folder, it might happen, that the game creates a copy of the files in a hidden folder that will be read first.

The folder is Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king.
You can just delete everything inside the folder.

I'm currently attempting to edit the bigs in a new folder in my C drive, I did try initially to edit them directly in the ROTWK folder but extracted them to the new folder in an effort to make it work, and I did try delete my virtual store just recently, although I'm not at my computer at the moment so I can't check if I did it properly. It didn't let the changes take effect though when I did try delete though:/ thanks for the reply by the way:)

Hi again, I've tried deleting the virtual store and it's still not working, could the fact that I've got a back up for the Edain data file on this computer be causing the changes to not take effect in the same way the virtual store could have been?

You can't do it in the inis. You have to open the libraries (don't know the name of the main library) with the worldbuilder. Then you find a folder in the scripts in which you'll find all the scripts for the game modes. Some of them already have the action "set command points to ??? maximum ???", just change that. For the others you have to add this line. (you'll find the action in Player->Command Points)

I think I've already told you in the other topic :)
You need those basic scripting and mapping knowledge, as libraries are basically maps with scripts which are always loaded. Use FinalBig to open the edain data and extract the files (i think the libraries are in there, otherwise look through the toher edain files in your rotw folder), search for the correct library and open it. Then change the script which changes the command points. (you should be able to do it with the links above)

Please don't use double posts. You can edit your previous comments.
FinalBig is a program to open and edit big-files.
You need to open the edain files and extract the libraries, change the libraries (for the command points) as written above and afterwards integrate them again in the big-files with finalbig.

As I said above:
You have to change the scripts in the libraries, not the gamedata. The CP line in the gamedata does nothing.

As said above, you have to get the libraries. You'll probably find them in the edain_maps.big (if not, then edain_data, but I don't think it). Search for any file something like "Spieler" or "Player" in the name. (spieler is german for player) Nearly all others should have something with KI (german for Ai) in the name. Open it with the worldbuilder, open the scripts of the map and search for something like "Start" or "Begin" and then look for epic. This script should have an action, which is called "Set command points to 3000, maximum 18.000" or something like that. Change that and then overwrite the old file in the big with your changed file.
I haven't opened this files for a long time (someone else is responsible for them), but this will change the commandpoints of the epic battle mode.

The map looks the same, because it's just a grey map, but it has scripts. Just open the script window.

Then you probably didn't open the map. What's written on the top left of your worldbuilder? Mission or Spieler?
Do you have a symbol in the path to the map, which is not a-z or 0-9? (like an ä or something similar in your username of windows) This would cause such a problem.

You don't need my mail.
If that's your script folder, you haven't opened the map. Probably because of the reason above (not allowed characters in the path)

F.e. it could be something like C:\Users\Username\Desktop\libraries if you have extracted it on your Desktop
