BFME2 remove catapults/ballistas

 

 Look for a separated 'block' called 'is' that doesn't have an END.

 

I'm a bit to newb to fully understand this, but there are 800k lines, I'm not sure it will be so simpIe

I got the same error msg as you..Did you find solution?

Well looks like that didn't work. Upon opening the game I got this:

 

 

Unknown block 'is'.

Error parsing INI block 'is' in file
'Data\INI\Default\SubsystemLegend.ini'.
7 addresses:
(unknown)(0): game.dat+241550 Debug::PostStaticInit+3390

Because of the severity of this error the game will now exit.

 

I'm guessing it's referring to the changes I made, but beyond that I don't really understand what the issue is. Anyone have any ideas?

  I can't slog through so many lines, there must me simple solution to this for Christ's sake :(

Have you tried using Ctrl-F to find what you are looking for?

It's rather simple, just scroll throug the file, unless you broke something the indentation should be intact.

Look for code blocks in 'Data\INI\Default\SubsystemLegend.ini' that for some reason dont end with the word "end".

LoadSubsystem TheBaseTemplateLibrary
...
End

Or simply throw your whole gosh darn file on here and someone might find it and explain what is going wrong

Fellas, if any of you are still into this, I BEG for help.

I love playing the game, but since the first BFME siege equipment is ruining my fun.

Please, I need help to stop CPU from using catapults, trebuchets and ballistas, and if it's possible to use ships, ladders, mines and siege towers!

I really need help, I am desperate, I've been trying to do this for months without sucksess!

MAYDAY MAYDAY, PLEASE RESPOND

If you won't code then try editing a map in WB and disable units or structures with scripts for each player.

 How do I do that?

Ah, same guy as the PM. Okay, for one map only - unless you do this for every single map - this is how you disable units and buildings for a player.

• Click on Edit Scripts (Ctrl+Alt+R)
• Select the Player folder that you want to disable a unit or building for.
• Click New Script...
• Click on the Actions If True tab and click Edit...
• Navigate to Player -> Build -> Allow or Disallow one building of a specific type
• Edit the script. The player named <All Players> will stop all players from building the unit or building, the player named <This Player> is the same as the folder the script is in.
• This is what the script will look like to disable the Gondor Trebuchet for all players:
  Player '<All Players>' allowed to build 'GondorTrebuchet' is FALSE.

Please note, for what you want you are better off coding it. This method is for one map.

  Ok, what does WB stands for? ..Tell me where to start if you can, I will follow these steps after.

WB stands for World Builder.

You should really do it the coding way. If you won't deal with the code, scripting is not all that different.

 Ok, how do I do that? ..So far the only result I achieved is via FinalBig editor, where I changed some parameters but so far it's not working 100%.

So what exactly have you already tried changing and all that?

Any code samples of what you did?

  I use Finalbig, create new BIG archive, then open my INI.big file from the game.(Battle for Middle Earth II ROTWK Edain Mod) and then I edit stuff in skirmish data.ini or some other line, like change % of AI using catapults to 0 in all three stages, save that, overwrite and play.So far it doesn't work.

Edain mod is overwriting your changes. You need to edit the first big file alphabetically to change code.

  allright, I open Finalbig, select new BIG archive, open INI.big from my BFMEROTWK EDAIN game folder and the first and on the top of the long column the first one is data/ini/aidata.ini..

The ini you should be editing is /data/ini/default/skirmishaidata.ini, that is where it contains information on creating catapults and all that.

I found it, now what part of it do I have to change for AI to stop using ballista/catapult?

...and after I change it, save it, overwrite the INI and play?

I believe there are several percentages, if they are 0 they will make none of them.

And yes, save, overwrite and play.

Good, I did it.I made all three battle stages percentage for using ballista and Mordor catapult 0 and they don't use it.That is only half of my trouble, I did that in Rise of The Witch King, without the Edain mod.

When I did the same thing with Edain mod it never worked.Edain is overwriting my changes, could you tell me how to fix that?
