How do I get a new fortress to work for a new faction? I want it to be an exact copy of the elven fortress except I want it to build a new kind of porter. So I've tried making a copy of the elven fortress, NoldorFortress, I've made a new commandset for this and made the proper changes to playertemplate.ini but still the fortress that I start the game with builds the old elven porter. What more do I need to change?

If I want to change how much money I start out with in the maps with permanent fortresses, like Rivendell, I probably have to change this somewhere in map.big, right? But Rivendell doesn't seem to have a map.ini-file and I dont't really think I would know what to do with it if it had one. Any help?

I've brought this up before and apparantly nobody knew the answer but I'll try again: How do you change what Elvenwood/Tainted Land does? If I would like it to do something else than give 50%+ armor.

You will have to open the map with the world builder and script it so that it will have the money you want.

but still the fortress that I start the game with builds the old elven porter. What more do I need to change?

You will have to make a new porter.ini and add him to your fort.it will be the same as elven porter.So you will have to make a new model for him and then add him.that is all i know so far

geeze most of deathbringer is right except command button as well and also his own command set

I already made a new porter. The two porters I start out the game with are the right ones but any porter I build is the old elven porter.

NoldorPorter's commandset:

CommandSet NoldorPorterCommandSet   
   1  = Command_Stop
   2  = Command_PorterExtinguishFire   
   3  = Command_ConstructElvenMallornTree
   4  =	Command_ConstructNoldorBarracks
   5  = Command_ConstructElvenStatue
   6  =	Command_ConstructElvenWatchTower
   7  = Command_ConstructElvenMirrorOfGaladriel   
   8  = Command_ConstructEregionForge
   9  =	Command_ConstructElvenWallHub  
   10 = Command_ConstructNoldorFortress

End

NoldorFortress Commandset

CommandSet NoldorFortressCommandSet
	InitialVisible = 6
	//Main Menu
	1	= Command_ConstructNoldorPorter
;	2	= Command_ConstructNoldorWarriorHorde			; Added for BFME2 Expansion
	2   	= Command_SelectRevivablesElvenFortress
	3	= Command_SelectUpgradesElvenFortress
	4	= Command_PurchaseNewEagle	
	6	= Command_Sell

And I did change the commandset in NoldorFortress.ini and make all the necessary commandbuttons. It appears that my fortress is using the wrong commandset for some reason but I can't really figure out why.

And another question: How do you get to use CaH-heroes for new factions? Just adding the faction to the list of usable factions in the CaH-file doesn't work.

[Turin Turumbar]

CaH is harcoded, you cant add CaH to complet new factions without editing the game.dat and this is illegal

[LordEcthelion]

editing game.dat is illegal? why?

[IthronAiwendil]

It's impossible, not illegal...

:OOOOOOOOOO i wouldnt say its illegal but it sounds impossible

[Turin Turumbar]

It is possible
But to change the game.dat is illegal, because it is the same, as making a crack, the crack changes the game.dat => illegal. You change the game.dat => illegal too
