you know chris, he's right... and why didnt' you ask me in the first place? send them over!!

[Bart]

Wow, that looks really nice. It looks like this is what the Deluxe Edition should have been

[ched]

really nice indeed. You have to be one of the very few to have actually taken the time to write such a good and appealing readme.

if you desire, T3A could host the mod, thus helping you on the bandwidth. PM me if you are interested.

lol he saying that he sees u added factions(rohan with gondor) and made some heroes stronger, he says that in a way that hes like oh oh balance issues.... but then when he says he has a feeling it will balance out. but anyway hurry up and convert it to -mod so we can play your wiked mod.

Hehe ok, thanks for the translation... I guess when two vikings are communicating in english, this happens *lol*

And yes, Im trying to figure this out asap...

EDIT:
WOW, I missed all those replys, that came while I was answering the obove *lol*

Lauri... I'm one of those guys that get a tummy ache from asking people of favors... but naturally I would be very happy if you would help me with that

2Play: THANKS!!!

Ched: Thank you! And that sounds great! I have the PDF at my home theater site (www.bigscreen.se (swedish site)), but putting it up here would make more sense! I just got spooked from JEV's statement before concerning all the work *lol*

Lauri? I'll bother you on MSN then...

Status...

Lauri was kind enough to take it upon himself to help me convert this "folder swap mod" to a "-mod". This by using 2Play's new tool. Allthough, Lauri doesn't have BFME2, so he couldn't test it. I got it back today. I did a fresh re-install of the game, updated to patch 4 (3), like it's set up do be for this mod, and then I tried the -mod command...

That gave me this error:



My own theory...:
Maybe 2Play's program doesn't change this line in Gamedata.ini:
#include "CreateAHeroGameData.inc"
And maybe that's why the error says that that file is not present in "Default" folder (which I never was from the beginning)... I dunno offcourse since the whole convert thing seems complicated to me.

*sighs*

Anyway, I'll try and ask 2Play about this...

[Bart]

indeed it doesn't, and it's not supposed to. in fact, the moving of the macros to water.ini was done by lauri, the tool doesn't do that. change it yourself

[Nazgûl]

Forgive the "noob" question, but change what into what? What have been changed incorrectly? There never was a "CreateAHeroGameData.inc" in that folder? That inc file is placed directly in the main folder? Or am I way off here? *lol*

What should I do?

[Bart]

change to:
#include "..\CreateAHeroGameData.inc"

and yes, it's a newb question, but that's ok. we were all newbs at some point

[Nazgûl]

Ooooh, THAT easy huh?
Well, considering that I knew nothing 3 month ago, and now I've atleast managed to to some kind of lttle moddy thingy... somewhat bigger than the "expand Balrog life thing" that started my interest... ...maybe I could atleast be refered to as a "nob" instead of noob? There's just so many OO's in there... *lol* Just kidding, call me what you want guys, I'm still proud of my mod and all that you have learned me!

Thanks, I will try this at once!

[Nazgûl]

Aaaaaaaaaaand we have a new crash!



*banging head in wall*
Allright, this is what's gonna happen... Either I:

1) I don't release the mod... ? (At least I can play it myself *lol*)
or
2) I leave the mod a "folder swap" mod, and that will make this download like a gazillion MB since I would have to send along the Textures.big files
or
3) I try to find someone else that would be willing to help with the conversion. Someone just as not-noob like Lauri, but someone that also has BFME2 installed, so this kind person could also try the functionality.

But since I hate asking favours, I'm just gonna hope that that someone sees this and offers to help by free will...

That's it for today anyways. Gotta finish some other work before bed. Good night to you all *zzz*

[Juissi]

That crash that you had, just change ISTARILIGHT_RECHARGE_TIME into number It should then be fixed

[watsupcuz]

i sure do hope that you can get his released soon, dont give up on converting, after a while im sure it will work.

[Bart]

That crash that you had, just change ISTARILIGHT_RECHARGE_TIME into number

that's a workaround, not a fix

what happens is, you refer to a macro called ISTARILIGHT_RECHARGE_TIME, but it doesn't exist. check that, then come back

(are you sure all gamedata is properly loaded?)

[Sindarin]

Nice mod..It seems really interesting...
GOOD JOB!!!

[Lauri]

I of course forgot to keep the specialpower.ini..... it's my fault I'll send you a new one, which should work

[Nazgûl]

Thanks everyone, and especially you Lauri, but that little part I actually grasped *lol* I already have tried that too, but like I pretty much knew it only gave me with ANOTHER error. This time something about Eomer - an error that I had a long time ago, that was due to me having double eomer.ini's. Deleted one, and it worked again. This time I can't find any doubles... so yeah, I'm still stuck and fixing one problem is bound to reveal others. I think someone that can actually test it directly will "have to" convert this mod. I'm too inexperienced with this part of modding, and also, I have a PILE of work now to do for my company (my website)... :s

[Lauri]

you don't know much about the -mod way do you know..... ah, I should've paid more attention too though

click the pic


you gotta move some files so they overwrite EA's

[Nazgûl]

I see... so it's in a way the same problem then... I DO have double inis since the game reads EAs map as well...

Yes, I don't know much about -mod, and thats why I asked for helped. Insulting me has though starting to come to a point where Im getting a bit annoyed with you attitude Lauri. Even though Im sure your just kidding. I cound squash you like a bug irl little man , so keep you attitude to yourself. It's not funny anymore *mumbles*

But hey, thanks for all your help anyways. You're a great modder and really helpful. But just because I need help doesn't put you in a position where you can keep that up forverer. Ok?

I'm off to work and I will look into this later. Thanks again though

[Bart]

I see... so it's in a way the same problem then... I DO have double inis since the game reads EAs map as well...

if you don't want to move your files (because you want to have things in the right directories) just put empty files in their stead
note: the game will crash on empty files. add 1 empty comment or something

anyway, as far as i can see, he's not insulting anyone (including you). i mean, all he said is that you didn't know much about the -mod command, which is true, but like i said, we all had to learn at some point, and it's nothing to be insulted by

be glad , he could have replied with "OMG WTF n00b. Dontcha kno that u must override da EA files. wtf noob get out "

[Lauri]

*cough* msn *cough*

aanyways, I'm just like that, and yeah, I'm really just kidding it's probably because your an old man a grown-up that you don't really get it
hopefully you won't get more crashes, but the reason I helped you out on this is because it's kinda my fault... and I saw it of course

and 2play.... never

2playedit: just edited the old man bit to actually say what I am sure you had meant to say, but couldn't think of the right words
