I've run the macro renamer twice now and both times it went through and made all the changes. But the file isn't being read by the -Mod method. Either the game doesn't read the changes (the first time), or it crashes on the load screen. Everything looks good otherwise (ie the M_ renamed correctly). I've tried this on an un-patched version of the game and a patched version, too. I've made extensive changes to the INI file, so copy/pasting into a preconverted INI would be a multi-week project.

I've noticed that there are green sparkles that circle around specific buttons in the palantir, I'm guessing it's a 2d animation? Where is this defined in the ini and how do you add it to an image? And how do you change the flashing damage on a heros portrait?

I've been working on moving my changes from my INI.big file to a preconverted INI and I noticed that there are balance patch differences when comparing my May 2009 INI to the latest RotWK INI.big to identify differences.

How will this impact my -mod when made public if I decide to stick with my INI.big file and run the Macro converter?

PS-I believe my INI has the 1.02 update.

Well, I'm about a month away from doing as much as I can with the INI coding and need to move on to WB and 3ds Max. I've been unable to get a direct answer from Autodesk on whether or not 2012 will support importing/exporting of .w3d files, so I'm assuming it still can't.

• Does anyone know where I can get Max 7 (or 6 if it too can be used for .w3d)--I've already searched extensively online...including eBay.

SOLVED - If you set buildcost to = 0 (for testing) then you won't get any credit for building your units (ie Mumakil). I can't believe it took four days to figure that out.

I can get every other building to level from making Units, but the Mumakil Pen will not level up. I've tried multiple combinations of UpgradeMordorMumakilPenLevel, and Upgrade_Structure, and both combined. I also tried multiple numbers in the experience required fields with no luck too. What am I missing?
