you're joking right?

is hard to make a mod specially if you don't know nothing about the gem-editor.

if you want to make a mod take the time to read and learn how to use the editor.

no one can give you all the information in one post or in one day that is just unrealistic.

1. create folder ...Men of War\mods\your_mod\
2. create file "mod.info" with following entry and save this file to ...Men of War/mods/your_mod/mod.info

{mod
{name "your_mod"}
{desc "bla... bla ... bla"}

{name "your_mod"} must be the same as y name from modfolder.


3. create folder ...Men of War\mods\your_mod\resource\map\multi\my_map\ and move all files (*.ply, *.net, *.mi ...) from your map into this folder. (for multiplayer maps)


y will dont find any "step-by-step" tutorial, because modding MoW is too complex. but y can change all files from game.
y will find all changeable files in ...Men of War\resource\*.pak or ...Men of War\resource\entity\*.pak
y can open all *.pak or *.pat files with WinRar or WinZip.

verry important: when y want change any file -> copy this file from *.pak file to y mod folder. (never change any file in original *.pak files)

the folderstructure in y mod folder must be the same as in *.pak file.
eg. ...\resource\game.pak -> battle_zone.set in ...\set\multiplayer\games ->
in y mod: ...Men of War\Mods\your_mod\resource\set\multiplayer\games\battle_zone.set

eg. ...\resource\entity\E1.pak -> ...\-vehicle\cannon\d1 ->
in y mod: ...Men of War\Mods\your_mod\resource\entity\-vehicle\cannon\d1

ps. when y want test/change anything with GEM editor (e.g. maps...) y must 1st activate y mod in gameoptions.
