Athem, no offense, but you're english isn't the best.
What is your native language?

Solinx

[Athem]

i am from slowakia(in europe).....
i learn english only 4 months

[Solinx]

Yes, English won't be easy for you and there is little chance we will understand Slowakian.

From what I understand, you want to have a new building. The building will look like the normal elven barracks. The building will be the High Elven Barrack.
With the Elven High Barrack you can make Imladris and Lindon warrior

You want to know how to make a toggle for the Dunedain.

You want Imrahil as a hero for MotW. He will look like the Knights of Dol Amroth.
- At level 3 he can mount/dismount
- At level 5 he will get a cavalry leadership
- At level ? he will get Lord of dol Amroth ( Cavalry gets 150% speed and 75% damage, 75% armor

Did I understand you correct?

Solinx

[Athem]

yes..... correct....
lord of dol amroth at lv7
and blood of eldar at lv 10(summon 4 battalion of rivendel lancer)

do you speak deutsch(germany)?

i can english normaly read
but write can i not to good

[Solinx]

I think I can read Deutsch good enough, but I can't write it :(

ok thanks

As a start for your question:

Did you find the the ranger toggle on the forum?

And for your barracks: Start by copying the Normal Elven Barracks and renaming it, and changing the commandset.

But do you wwant this to be for the elven or MotW?

i have found that ranger forum...

that barracks is for elves

Ok, today I'll keep it to the High Elven Barracks and the Imladris & Lindon warriors.

We start with the barrack. Open ...\data\ini\object\goodfaction\structures\elven\barracks.ini
This file is the standard elven barrack.
Go to the bottom of the file. You will see this code:

ChildObject ElderRacesElvenBarracks ElvenBarracks

End

ChildObject is used to make it easier to copy buildings. The example an exact copy of the standard barracks. We are going to change a few things.

- We need a new commandset
- We need new statistics (cost, health, things like that.)

So, now we are going to make our own ChildObject. Add this code at the bottom of the file:

ChildObject HighElvenBarracks ElvenBarracks

 ; ***DESIGN parameters ***

  DisplayName		 	= OBJECT:HighElvenBarracks
  Description		= OBJECT:HighElvenBarracksDescription
  
  BuildCost		   	= 300
  BuildTime		   	= ELVEN_BARRACKS_BUILDTIME

 CommandSet = HighElvenBarracksCommandSet
 
End

The fist line tells the game-engine that the building is called HighElvenBarracks. It also says that it is a copy of a building called ElvenBarracks.

Next two lines are the name and description of the building, there are enough recent topics about this where you can learn how to change them.

Then we come at the buildCost and BuildTime. Elven_barracks_buildtime is a macro, but you can replace that with any number you want.

Following is the CommandSet, this one is important. We will be using this further in the guide. Use the same name as I have: "HighElvenBarracksCommandSet"

These are the basic changes for barrack.ini.

Next we need the elven builder to have a button for making the building.
Open ...\data\ini\Commandset.ini and look for ElvenPorterCommanSet.
In the code below I have already added the new button.

CommandSet ElvenPorterCommandSet   
   1  = Command_Stop
   2  = Command_PorterExtinguishFire   
   3  = Command_ConstructElvenMallornTree
   4  =	Command_ConstructElvenBarracks

   5  = Command_ConstructHighElvenBarracks

   6  = Command_ConstructElvenGreenPasture
   7  =	Command_ConstructElvenEntMoot
   8  = Command_ConstructElvenStatue
   9  =	Command_ConstructElvenWatchTower
   10 = Command_ConstructElvenMirrorOfGaladriel   
   11 = Command_ConstructEregionForge
   12 =	Command_ConstructElvenWallHub  
   13 = Command_ConstructElvenFortress
End

Hopefully this doesn't go beyond the maximum amount of buttons for the construction menu of the builder.
Just to be clear, you need to change the porter commandset, not make a new one.


You have the construction button in the commandset, now we need to make the button. Open ...\data\ini\commandbutton.ini. Our button will look a lot like the standard elven barrack, so do a search for 'Command_ConstructElvenBarracks'.
You will find this code:

CommandButton Command_ConstructElvenBarracks
	Command		  = DOZER_CONSTRUCT
	Object		   = ElvenBarracks
	TextLabel		= CONTROLBAR:ConstructElvenBarracks
	ButtonImage	  = BEElvenBarracks
	ButtonBorderType = BUILD 
	DescriptLabel	= CONTROLBAR:ToolTipElvenBarracks
	Radial		   = Yes  
End

We need to make our own button just like it. You need to copy this code and place it at the bottom of commandbutton.ini. Then we can simply change the things we need to change:

CommandButton Command_ConstructHighElvenBarracks
	Command		  = DOZER_CONSTRUCT
	Object		   = HighElvenBarracks
	TextLabel		= CONTROLBAR:ConstructHighElvenBarracks
	ButtonImage	  = BEElvenBarracks
	ButtonBorderType = BUILD 
	DescriptLabel	= CONTROLBAR:ToolTipHighElvenBarracks
	Radial		   = Yes  
End

If you compare the two commandbuttons, you see that I changed ElvenBarracks into HighElvenBarracks at 4 places and left the rest as it is in the original button.
The first is the name. The second is the object that the builder has to build, our new barrack. The third and fourth are the text that is shown in the game.

Our next step is to go back to ...\data\ini\commandset.ini. We still need to make a commandset for our new barracks. Just go to the bottom of the file and add this:

CommandSet HighElvenBarracksCommandSet
  1 = Command_ConstructElvenImladrisWarriorHorde
  2 = Command_ConstructElvenLindonWarriorHorde
  6 = Command_Sell
End

This should be obvious I think The buttons are not made up, they already exist because of the Arnor faction, so we won't have to make them ourselves.

You now have a basic working High Elven Barracks that can make Imladris and Lindon Warriors.

This barrack only has 1 level. It will take some more trouble to make more levels possible.

That's it for today. I don't know if I will be home tomorrow evening or the day after that, so I can't really say when I can look into making Imrahil as hero for MotW.
