I have a another problem. I added a new structure called the dragon den. I used the fire drake lair codes, I also made the name changed, added the structure to command button, and added it to the Porter commandset, but when I click on the wild porter the game exits out. Here's my code's

DragonDen.ini:

Also how do you make codeboxes?

Not sure why you have 2 commandbuttons doing the same thing....

Also, you need some art code for when you go to place the building.

[LegolasPrime]

How should I put artcode in and where?

[Kelso]

Check out some existing building art code, specifically the animation blocks marked BUILD_PLACEMENT_CURSOR and PHANTOM_STRUCTURE

[LegolasPrime]

Thanks I'll try it. I have another question, I'm adding a new faction with the 3rd age tutorial and I can't find the goodfactionbuilding.ini, any idea where it is.

[Kelso]

New faction tutorial is for BFME1 not BFME2.

[Solinx]

New faction tutorial is for BFME1 not BFME2.

Yes, I think we need a separate BFME 2 section on tutorials. The differences may be small, but they are there.

About the builings, they are located in the ini\object\(goodfaction or evilfaction)\structures\ folder.

Thanks, is thier a tutorial on adding a new faction for bfme2?

[Mathijs]

I don't think so, not on T3A.

I looked through the ini\object\good but couldn't find ini\object\goodfaction. I did find the elven building foundation though.

I looked through the ini\object\good but couldn't find ini\object\goodfaction. I did find the elven building foundation though.

This is my total path to the buildings of the goodfaction:
G:\Games\Battle for Middle Earth II\data\ini\object\goodfaction\structures

But since you found the foundation it doesn't really matter anymore.
