Getting started

1. Download a preconverted INI package and extract it to a folder we will now call 'x'. (In such a way that e.g. 'commandbutton.ini' will be in 'x\data\ini\commandbutton.ini')

2. 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\"

3. Click this shortcut to run your modded (but currently unmodded) game.

Define "unmodded -mod command" please

Whenever I use the -mod command, I have a game.dat. This even happens when I have an unmodded -mod command, so there is no problem in the codeing.
