Welcome to my second article. I've noticed a lot of topics lately discussing/asking how to put a new model in game. (Once the modeling/binding/textures are complete). So I thought I'd take time out and write a start to finish guide on how to do this. I will be using Rise of the Witchking as the base for this article. Thank you to Nertea for allowing me to use his Bowman of Morthond in this article. The areas that will be covered include: 1) Building the asset.dat file with assetcachebuilder 2) File layout and organization 3) How to create a simple mod with the -mod command 4) adding the coding for the new unit: - Choosing and using a base object - Modifying the code as needed - Adding all the additional entries in the other files - Creating/modifying the horde object 5) Add the bannercarrier as well as using the morphmodelcondition 6) Add your unit artwork into the game (button images & portraits) 7) Add the AI information in order for the AI to build the new units (BFME2 & RotWK) 8) Add the appropriate string entries into the lotr.str file 9) Allow the unit to be added to the WotR and buildable on the living map 10) Bringing everything together in the small .big file to play the game So without anything further, let's begin: Next Page: Creating your asset.dat file Links / Downloads

If it helps, I attempted xxxMr. Xxxx's Aragorn bow/sword model. I'm no novice to coding, but modeling and skinning absolutely baffles me. {AE}Manveru - Tuesday September 1, 2009 - 14:08 @Kingeragon007, did you compile your asset.dat properly? And add it into the .big file? *Kingeragon007* - Saturday August 9, 2008 - 22:17 hey im new around here, Tar-Palantir - Tuesday May 6, 2008 - 20:36 @ lycan, Robnkarla's using RoTWK, you're probably using BFME I or BFME II so the locomotors have diferent names, I suggest you check some other file to see what they're called. Centurion - Monday March 24, 2008 - 23:46 I keep getting this message: lycan - Monday October 1, 2007 - 14:45 i did everything, Guess Who - Sunday September 30, 2007 - 21:27 this tutorial is missing 1 thing, what to name the files when you put them in. lotrfreak - Monday July 9, 2007 - 15:27 thx ill do that. :) stranger223 - Monday July 9, 2007 - 11:04 instead of doing the .txt thing, go to a tutorial called Setting up your mod, with the -mod command in the downloads section of this forum there is a button called makeasset.bat. download it, then just follow the rest of the tutorial lotrfreak - Monday July 9, 2007 - 10:13 "In your main folder where the assetcachebuilder.exe is contained, create a new .txt document. Name it whatever you'd like, but instead of the extension being .txt change it to .bat. (myassets.bat for example)" WHAT??????????!!!!???????????? |
