How to: Edit difficulty setting values

[Alfadan]

nah isn't read only, comes up unspecified error then says cannot update userdata and some temp file.

Are you editing the files inside pak file? you have to reinsert the file back to the pak or extract the file first into proper path and the game will read that first.

i was trying yes..

so if I extract the file make my changes then reinsert the file this should work? or just put the file in the same directory?

I was going to copy the normal difficulty params into the easy file and see if I can boost ot that way.

edit
just tried saving then dragging back in still same error?!

I opened the file in WinZip and edited thru Notepad directly in the WinZip screen. File-save-close. Do exactly that. I did not extract + replace. I did precisely what I just typed here.

so this should work, ive been using 7zip and i cant get it to save..

[Alfadan]

well damn,,,

I just used winzip and it worked!! it is the temp file winzip does something to that 7zip doesn't!!.. ive now put the hard ai values into easy so should toughen up easy... I know its cheating.. but who xcares!

The MoW games beg to be tweaked. If you aren't tweaking/modding your missing out on a whole new side of these games.

actually after all this, ive decided that the challenge of normal is totally lost on EASY. So ive gone back to normal and edited the AI back 10 points on their accuracy and health and range.

Its much better now,....
