I am in. My contribution to the community has been little lately, and I want to catch up

Ahem, what is the reason for listing emails, though? HG already has them. Listing them here would benefit only spammers.

Excellent, Rosen! I was thinking of sending you an invite anyway. Timelord and I are setting up an initial structure for the modding guide. I expect to seriously get started within the next two weeks.

Timelord came up with this so far (from top of head). Let me know if you have any additional suggestions (* means advanced modding).

We'll have a nice background and all later, of course.

Hello
I am looking for a mod guide.
Are there any out there? any links ?
I wold mainly like to learn how to add new heros and
wizards to a map I am makeing

Thanks

Here is an rtf document I have been working on containing modding tips etc. Mostly gleaned from the forums over a few years with some clarifications from me in places where I got stuck and then got past. Feel free to use any parts of it in the Wiki - which I think is a great idea.

Ok, so how do I post a file?

Nevermind, I will put it in the downloads section.

What's the name of the Mod making Guide,
because I can't find it in the download section?

It gives you the link in the original post for the wiki page, and Dr Effluvia's tips are available here:

Hi there!

I wwas hoping to be part of this modding community, since me and some friends is trying to make a warhammer 40k modd

so I guess this is the place to request an access to the full wiki page??

I'd like access....

Heyyyy, you should have an account set up already. I just tried and it set your username was already in use 'Stranger'.

That was fast.

Ya, I guess I do. I couldn't remember my password, though.

Thanks :-)

News travels fast in the Heavens. Check you email (hotmail)!

I'd like to be able to post things as I learn them. We really need something like this since the forums aren't searchable.

The forums are searchable, but you have to search within each section of the forum, and as you have posted mapmaking questions in the modding section of the forum I assume that you haven't quite grasped that yet.

So when you have the list of topics showing for AoW2/SM Mod Making, for example, look down the bottom and it gives you options to search by Author, search by Subject and to specify how many days you want to go back:

http://aow.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=t&fn=33

Some of your questions would need you to search the AoW2/SM Scenario Design section of the forum:

http://aow.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=t&fn=26

or the Scenario Design section of the main website:

http://aow2.heavengames.com/aowsm/library/scenariodesign/

Sorry, I thought I read somewhere the forums weren't searchable because that caused too much server strain. Anyways, I should have slept on it and checked later.

Sign me up!

Can you sign me up ?

I'm starting my first mod. I'll signup and document my experiences.

When you sign up, please list your email (I'll bold it at the top), or send me an email at swolte at gmail dot com!

Is there a guide how to create new units. I made some new sprites but I don't know how to make a unit out of it. I used ILEd.exe to add each frame for an new ILB.
Is there a faster way?
Do I need special bmp-properties?
When all the data is ready: Where do I send the data if i want to support the upatch 1.5 and may I support you?

Hi Swolte,

would you sign me up, please?
i'm just getting started with this modding business.

edit:
Currently past the just getting started phase and entered the noob at modding phase.
Still wanting to get access to the wiki.
Might even have some beginners tips to add.

Not sure how active any of this is, but, having source for WBC3 (Legally obtained from Steve Fawkner), and a handful of other elements from Bioware, I'd like to see about crossing over into the different territories and mashing them together in as many ways as possible.

I can be reached at jdavz322@yahoo.com if anyone is still interested in this project, WBC3 Source Code, or is willing to exchange tools and knowhow that might not be listed on the forums.

I'm currently looking to see about designing something that crosses .RLE .BAM and .ILB content for the three big ones (AOW, BG and WBC series) and am always on the lookout for tools. I've archived quite a few from other sites and am also possibly looking to crossover into Cavedog's TA:Kingdoms as a major hack and cache project. Feel free to mail me any time. Might take me a week or so to get back to anyone, but I still love this series, and the buds that bloomed around it in the day, and wonder if we can't make it into a super nerd fest!
