so, yeah, i'd love to know why you couldn't manage to make your excellent mod in the typical foc format... meaning using the same kinds of files the game makers and most other modders use?
Namely the text, xml dat and lua extentions. I just tried to see what's written in your mod and everything is written in either .meg or .alo .... not cool.
thanks
why alo files extentions?

Look at the Data folder for EaW and FoC, then you will realize that the mod is in the same format as the games themselves. As wuffles said, get the MEG extractor to gain access to the XML and LUA files.

I've locked your other topic, 1871. There was no need for two stating the same things. We use .meg files because otherwise the AI changes we made wouldn't work. All the rest has been explained to you by these helpful fans.
Phoenix Rising, head of mapping. Thanks to everyone who got us to the position below!

to phoenix rising, i was caught off guard and i got really mad and spoke before the rest of my brain could take a breath.
OK evil, thanks, you can delete it if u'd want to.
ummm, ok found the meg extractor :( so anyone else want to rip me one, i certainly deserve it.
thanks
