I put the behaviors in Data\INI\Object\system\system\.ini.

I meant specifically in the system.ini file.

[The Lord Of The Bats]

OH, sorry, I put one set of behaviors at the end of the evil spells but before;

ChildObject MordorSpellBook EvilSpellBook
CommandSet = MordorSpellBookCommandSet
End

and samething for the good spells.

[Rob38]

Hmmm... post the chunk of code with your new behaviors. Also show some of the code before the behaviors anf after the behaviors.

[The Lord Of The Bats]

THIS PART IS FOR THE EVIL SPELLS


Behavior = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_PalantirVision
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookPalantirVision
AttributeModifier = PalantirVision ;
AttributeModifierRange = 100 ;
AttributeModifierAffects= ANY +CAVALRY +MACHINE +HERO +IsengardUrukCrossbowHorde +IsengardUrukCrossbowHordeWedgeFormation +IsengardUrukCrossbow +IsengardFighterCrossbowComboHorde +IsengardCrossbowPikemanComboHorde -STRUCTURE -BASE_FOUNDATION ; +HORDE +URUK
OCL = SpecialPowerPalantirVision
CreateLocation = CREATE_AT_LOCATION
AvailableAtStart = No
End

CommandSet = EvilSpellBookCommandSet
RadarPriority = NOT_ON_RADAR
KindOf = SPELL_BOOK IMMOBILE IGNORES_SELECT_ALL INERT
End

Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_SpellBookGeneralView
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookGeneralView
AvailableAtStart = No
End

Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_SpellBookCommanderView
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookCommanderView
AvailableAtStart = No
End

Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_SpellBookUnitView
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookUnitView
AvailableAtStart = No
End

Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_SpellBookGroundView
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookGroundView
AvailableAtStart = No
End

ChildObject MordorSpellBook EvilSpellBook
CommandSet = MordorSpellBookCommandSet
End

ChildObject IsengardSpellBook EvilSpellBook
CommandSet = IsengardSpellBookCommandSet
End




AND THIS PART IS FOR THE GOOD SPELLS

Behavior = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_SummonMist
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookElvenMist
OCL = OCL_ElvenMistEgg ;OCL_SpawnArmyOfTheDead
TriggerFX = FX_SummonElvenMist
CreateLocation = CREATE_AT_LOCATION
AvailableAtStart = No
End

CommandSet = GoodSpellBookCommandSet
RadarPriority = NOT_ON_RADAR
KindOf = SPELL_BOOK IMMOBILE IGNORES_SELECT_ALL INERT
End

Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_SpellBookGeneralView
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookGeneralView
AvailableAtStart = No
End

Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_SpellBookCommanderView
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookCommanderView
AvailableAtStart = No
End

Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_SpellBookUnitView
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookUnitView
AvailableAtStart = No
End

Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_SpellBookGroundView
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookGroundView
AvailableAtStart = No
End
End

ChildObject RohanSpellBook GoodSpellBook
CommandSet = RohanSpellBookCommandSet
End

ChildObject GondorSpellBook GoodSpellBook
CommandSet = GondorSpellBookCommandSet
End

ChildObject ElvenSpellBook GoodSpellBook
CommandSet = ElvenSpellBookCommandSet
End




OH, AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, I'M ADDING ALL THIS INTO ELVEN ALLIANCE, WHICH IS WHY THERE IS THE ELVEN SPELL BOOK INFO. THANKS!

Fixed the problem. The "End" after the KindOf is the end of the object. By placing behaviors after it, the behaviors are not part of any object. Instead, they are just floating around in space and thus why the error was created.

Behavior				 = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_PalantirVision
		SpecialPowerTemplate = SpellBookPalantirVision
		AttributeModifier	= PalantirVision;
		AttributeModifierRange	= 100;
		AttributeModifierAffects= ANY +CAVALRY +MACHINE +HERO +IsengardUrukCrossbowHorde +IsengardUrukCrossbowHordeWedgeFormation +IsengardUrukCrossbow +IsengardFighterCrossbowComboHorde +IsengardCrossbowPikemanComboHorde -STRUCTURE -BASE_FOUNDATION; +HORDE +URUK 
		OCL				  = SpecialPowerPalantirVision
		CreateLocation	   = CREATE_AT_LOCATION
		AvailableAtStart	 = No
	End

 Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_SpellBookGeneralView
		SpecialPowerTemplate			= SpellBookGeneralView
		AvailableAtStart			= No
	End

	Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_SpellBookCommanderView
		SpecialPowerTemplate			= SpellBookCommanderView

	Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_SpellBookUnitView

[The Lord Of The Bats]

Oh sorry, you were right from the beginning but thanks so much, I'm going to check if this works (Which I hope does) and post my results, thanks.

[The Lord Of The Bats]

Hey, just a small question, is it possible to grab animations from the second one and put it into the first one if they are the same units, (Models and Skeletons.)?

[Kwen]

What do you mean if they are the same units? If they are the same units, then they have the same animations.

[The Lord Of The Bats]

I meant, in some mods and in the second game, the mumakils and nazguls have different death animations.

[Kwen]

Well no. It's illegal to port content backwards.

[Spartan184]

Well if your making the mod for personal use it doesn't really matter. But if you plan on releasing it then you have a problem.

[The Lord Of The Bats]

Oh i see, well that makes sense but it's for personal use though, for the public there's chance of me attempting at making a goblin faction.

[Kwen]

Right, what spart said. You 'can' it's easily done. But legally it cannot be released to the public. That being the case, why would you want to? You can however, mimick it. Try to recreate something very similar. As long as it technically contains zero aspects from BFME2, it is allowed to look extremely similar. Just call it a coincidence.

[Spartan184]

Kwen, not like EA pays any attention to us modders And if they did I'm pretty sure they wouldn't look at every detail.

[Lauri]

Whatever EA and the laws have to say:

No, it's not possible. The skeletons might be altered a bit, maybe, but we still can't open BFME2 anims, and I'm pretty sure a direct transfer doesn't work at all

I think

[Kwen]

Well if you just copy the animation code from the bfme2 unit directly to the bfme1 unit, and just transfer the animations. It should work. They don't import correctly, but they should still function in game. I could be wrong though.

[The Lord Of The Bats]

Alright thanks for the help, but i've got another question , is there a possibility of adding more enemies in the campaign, for example, helm's deep with around two times more of a wave of uruks. I looked through the site but i couldn't really find anything on it. Thanks.

[Spartan184]

Yes, open up Maps.big and extract it, then open up WorldBuilder, and finally after that open up the helms deep map and edit the scripts.

[The Lord Of The Bats]

Hey, does anyone know how to increase resource count, 'cause i read the tutorial on changing things in gamedata. but nothing happened
Thanks in advance.
