OK heya guys,
I'm sort of new to modding so take it easy ;)
I have downloaded the elvenstar mod installed it and it all works no probs.
I know and underdtand how to edit the inis with out the elvenstar mod on.
I'm not really happy with somethings on the elvenstar mod ie cost of buildings/units etc is there anyway i can edit these whilst keeping the added factions/units etc????
Thanks

i'm not certain about the way elvenstar was made, but most probably you can mod it just as you would mod the original game

I'm used to having the 'ini' foler in data and editing the documents inside that folder I don't understand how I can do the same for elvenstar as there is nothing to edit in the data folder

Elvenstar uses two big files in the main BFME directory, _basic_en and _update_en. The coding is in one of these (can't remember which), so simply open those files and make your changes, then save it.

Playing games? Ah, you'll never be a good modder if you get involved in actually playing them!
