Hope this is the right area.
I have had a look through the 3rd Age site on modding tutorials and help guides but still a bit lost.
I used the 'setting up a .BIG tutorial' and the help guide pdf that is there as well, so will try to keep this short.
-Downloaded shadow and Flame mod and Middle Earth Extended edition.
-Used FinalBIG to extract all the files from these .BIG files into a folder.
-Changed horde size on one unit to see how it would work and saved.
-Used FinalBIG to import all the files from my created folder to create a .BIG file.
-Placed this file in MyBattleForMiddleEarth directory.
-Adjusted the shortcut location on the mods game launch application to my created .BIG file
-Games boots up but relies on T3A 1.6 patch as base game.
-If I placed the original mod files back in place, the game runs those mods fine.
Question is whether I can change single lines of code from these mods or whether they are protected?
or if I am doing it completely wrong and a posting to guides that have worked for others would be good.
