Middle Mouse button camera tilt up and down? And Pink Black Mini Maps

28 December 2020 - 11:57 AM

Hey

So is there a way to create an option to tilt the camera up and down by holding the middle mouse button and moving the mouse up and down like you can in most games ? (also for keyboard if one as no mouse) I know basic beginner modding with ROTWK. But I'm assuming since there's a code to make the mouse move the camera when ya move the mouse and zoom in and out when you scroll, by that logic there must be a way to write a code to use the middle mouse button for tilting too yeah?

 

Also, after changing camera height on a few maps in world builder under EDIT>MAP SETTINGS after saving it I went to play the maps, most maps I didn't even edit are pink and there's 2 maps of each, the original and one with a hammer icon which is the one I just saved after changing the camera height. Problem is, the image is all black in skirmish map selection and when I start the game/map the height worked but the mini map is all black too, anyone what the hell Ive done? 

Thanks

 

EDIT Fixed the pink map issue..
 


ROTWK Arcade Edition edit

25 December 2020 - 07:19 AM

Hi all, new member. I know there's a few questions regarding health change but they didn't help, hence I created an account to ask this question. I do apologise if its my stupidity that is the problem.... How do you edit an already modded game? I want to change the health for heroes like Aragorn in the Arcade Edition of ROTWK Tried for 2 days with all online suggestions, nothing but frustration lol. It changes in the file on Notepad+ and FinalBig but not in the game. The advice on 3rd age regarding the Preconverted gamedata file is a little confusing for a noob like me.

Make a new shortcut to the game, which has as path:
              

Code "C:\path\to\bfme\bfme.exe" -mod "x"

 

Where of course you replace 'bfme.exe' with the name of the game (e.g. 'lotrbfme.exe') and 'x' with the folder you made. Example:
              

Code "C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Battle for Middle-earth\lotrbfme.exe" -mod "D:\Bart\mods\supermod\"

 

Don't understand why you make the 1st Code just to replace it with the 2nd one. Nor know is its Target or Start in. Also I dont see the 'x' folder that ya supposed to make in the 2nd Code. That's whats confusing me. Though I'm know guessing the Start in path is Start in: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king"

 

My shortcut to the Arcade Edition is;

Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod "C:\Users\metal\OneDrive\Documents\ArcadeEdition"   

Start in: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king"

 

Here's what I've tried with Notepad+, Finalbig wont open the _gamedata.inc (file format unknown)
_gamedata.inc
#define M_ARAGORN_HEALTH                    2400

Changed the number to 8000 nothing, also tried changing the M_ARAGORN_HEALTH to M_8000 nothing changed in game either. same with 8000 without the M_
aragorn.ini
Body = RespawnBody ModuleTag_RespawnBody
        CheerRadius             = M_EMOTION_CHEER_RADIUS
        MaxHealth                 = M_ARAGORN_HEALTH    ;BALANCE Aragorn Health
  

Changed this also to 8000 and M_8000. Nothing happens in game. Aragorn is still level 10 max health 3200

I changed the attribute points to 99 and max health attribute 20 on Create a Hero (Avatar) with Notepad+ and that worked fine. Once I somehow got him to 12000 health then did something now hes back to 8060 health. But no luck on Aragorn.

If anyone has changed health on heroes in the Arcade Edition? Please help man.. I though it was cause the Arcade Edition is already modded. Maybe I'm just to stupid to work it out? When edited in Notepad+ I'm saving as _gamedata.inc  and aragorn.inc.

 

Do I move all files from the PreConverted folder to the Arcade Edition folder?. Cause I'm pretty sure I tried that too.
Cant thank you all enough for any help given.
