this is continued form the tutorials r us.

I am still having trouble getting my faction in game i edited the csf file put it in the .big file and followed the whole 3rd age tutorial. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

First, try extracting the .BIG files and see if the mod works...

If it does then you know that your mod works, you just need to work on getting the .BIG file to work... If it doesn't work, then you'll know that there is an error within the code or the csf.

I also tried to get one of my mods to work from within a .BIG file, but I never got it to work... I will look at that sometime tomorrow and let you know if I can find anything.

i got it now. There was a file in the data folder called lotr.str. Its the same as the csf file but basically in a different form. You just edit it with final big. Thanks for the help tho.

Nick came to the rescue again ^^

[Absinth]

yes he did thanks again.

by the way see if u can help once again.

whenever i try to add a new unit i always get an error that says there is a problem with the module tag (within the units ini)that it must be unique but is allready being used within the object. What does this mean, why does this happen, how can i fix it.

Find the modeule tag that is "duplicated" and change the Tag to "ModuleTag_YourNameHere". Every module tag must have a unique name, but this name can be whatever you want.

[Absinth]

Where are the starting units defined?

[{IP}Gil-Galad]

it means you have moduletags that are the same thats a nono though its too late to say...

[nickthemenace]

Nope, you're wrong (at least for skirmish you are).. its in libraries/mpstartingteams or something like that.. should be really obviious

actually i get that error alot and its because theres 2 of the same named modules, but thats map.ini

[Absinth]

libraries/mpstartingteams ... is this for picking which units start in skirmish like for example changing (gondor) from 2 battalions of gondor soldiers to one bat of soldiers and one bat of archers?

[nickthemenace]

indeedy

[Absinth]

its .map, u edit it in world builder?

[nickthemenace]

Yup.

[Absinth]

i could edit scripts but i couldnt see anything about what the starting units are or how to create them for a enw faction.

[Valarauko]

open the file in WB then go to edit ---> edit teams (ctrl+alt+T)

click player then double click on the team you want to edit

it's pretty straightforward from there just change the units listed

[Absinth]

yeah i did that before but didnt see where the uits are listed but now i do, god im dumb, or blind anyway thanks.

[Absinth]

i changed some starting units for some factions but i cant seem to get starting units for my new faction. I edited scripts in the same .map file and everything looks right but still no starting units.

[nickthemenace]

You need to do someting like edit the Player List in the map file for the mpstartingteams.. or whatever the file is..

[Absinth]

sorry im dumb

what do you edit in edit payer whatever.

My faction is there but i dont know what i should do.
