Is it possible? I just hate ROTWK witch king picture and that music and i really like the argonath scene .. and that music(from BFME2). How can i modify ROTWK's interface to look like BFME II?

[MattTheLegoman]

I play RJ-Mod. Which you can find in Completed Mods.
It changes the screen to the original shellmap - Barad-dur.

[seemann]

Barad-Dur isn't from BFME1? I want the one from BFME 2..the one with the Argonath

[Rider of Rohan]

He means look into it to find the solution but replace it with the shellmap from BFME 2

[MattTheLegoman]

Oh yeah, just replace the actual shellmap. I've made my own shellmap anyway. It should be easy.

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

No, MTL, ain't that easy. In data/ini/gamedata.ini find Shellmap (using Ctrl + F, if you didn't know) and you should see two consecutive lines:

  ShellMapName = Maps\ShellMap1\ShellMap1.map
  ShellMapOn = No

Change the ShellMapOn to value Yes, it should revert it to the Argonath.

[seemann]

but the gamedata.ini is inside ini.big . So should i extract the ini.big, make the change and archive it back to ini.big?

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

Or just edit it inside FinalBIG and save over it. You don't need to extract ini files to edit them

[seemann]

I don't know how could your ini.big be different from mine but in mine i cannot find the line ShellMapOn = No

This is what i have:

Try and make a new ini file named gamedata1.ini (put it as data\ini\object\gamedata1) then in it just put :

ShellMapName = Maps\ShellMap1\ShellMap1
ShellMapOn = Yes

and then try it and see I know this works for some other things never tried with ShellMap before

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

How very peculiar ... could be an update difference.

[Ridder Geel]

Most likely an update difference. This simply means that the ShellMapOn BOOLEAN is initially set to False. Interesting to know

[withmorten]

Just stumbling onto this via search ... I am also trying to add the old BFME2 shellmap into RotWK, but it's simply not working.

 

I found the ShellMapOn boolean myself and tried setting it to Yes, deleting it, removing the LowLOD image entry in the handcreatedbla.ini just in case (that actually works, I now have a black menu ), but the ShellMap won't display.

 

Can't think of much else, did anybody ever get a Shellmap to work in any ROTWK mod?

 

Edit: Nevermind, I managed to load the Shellmap. I found the solution in this thread:
