Hi, I'm thinking of getting this game (BFME2).

How easy is it to skin a unit? Maybe, re-skin a soldier to make a hero or something, I really want to know this before I purchase.

I have modded games such as Red Alert 1 and 2, Command And Conquer and Tiberian Sun, so I'm not completely new to the idea of modding.

Thanks for your time, Ryzi.

Also, this doesn't have "Empire at War" game-play does it?

I was really disapointed with that game, a waste of $100 in my opinion.

$100 for EaW ? got owned :blink:

anyway, the game is rather easy to get started with. It uses INI coding, for which we provide various tutorials, and if you modded Generals then you must be rather familiar with their use.

Also, textures are in DDS format, however TGA can be used as well. The texture can then be either applied to the model, or changed on the fly using a snippet of code.

Oh ok, but just so you know, it was $100 AU, which is the price of all new games when they come out here.

i would advice to save textures as dds. not only does it have better compression, but it also has MIP-levels which increase performance

Yeah, AU = $australian.

$1 AU = $0.74 US = EU0.58

We get slightly inflated prices, quite often better to buy from the US.

In terms of a game for modding - I'm doing it, really enjoy it, and I'm Australian :lol: I do AtomicWienerDog projects, mainly Rise of Rome.

Definately a good game for you if you've modded with the Red Alert series before.

have a great day

but wouldn't shipping the game from almost the other side of the world be more expensive than buying the game with inflated price?

A few games are also made in Japan, so then they'll get them cheaper. :p
