So my goal is to change the existing units datas like build time,cost etc i just dunno how to make that
I tried to make "mod" for it but it always said that a duplicate macro exists so the game will exit
So plz if anyone can help me (and has time) then plz write by step by step what i must do(what/where ini file to place etc...)
Thx

The easiest way to modify units' build time and cost is to edit gamedate.ini. You first need to extract all the ini files from INI.big with finalbig and remove INI.big from B4ME folder because local gamedate.ini cannot be loaded if there is INI.big in B4ME map.

In gamedate.ini you will find each unit's build time, cost, etc etc.
For instance you can change the buildcost of gimli from 2500 to 1 by editting like this:
#define GIMLI_BUILDCOST 2500 -> #define GIMLI_BUILDCOST 1

I get the same thing about duplicate macros. I am sure I only have the build costs defined once.
Anything later then now isn't soon enough.

you dont need to move anything
leave al the ini's and folders alone... move ini.big asnd edit gamedata.ini leave it in the ini flder.

To KopiG, you should have extracted all of the INI.BIG to main BFME folder to edit it and just moved INI out of there to desktop or something
