How hard is it to create a mod? Could you write up a quick guide to mod creation?

Well, I haven't look at the tools, but I think the only released map tools right?
They would need to release the SDK for bigger mods no?

I am new to the modding scene, but I think the bigger modding games like Half life 2, UT Series release some sort of SDK for mods.

So it must be a lot tougher with out those tools.

Modding this game is very easy, expecially if you know how to use xml language.
First download Open XML Editor
is a free xml editor, you can use it to open the many xml files that rule the game

All the game variables are coded in xml strings in xml files

Download, for example, my mod
there is an xml file with all the camera variables, joust change
the parameters like zoom or angle and see the result.

There is also a Unit Avatars xml file that is the one who rules all the parameters of the units models like the scale, the animation speed and many authers.

Try to look in to the folders and try to change the parameters, but pay attention to make everytime a backup of everything you change!!!


The first thing i can teach you is how to change the size of the models.

1) open the Data\gamedata\units folder and search for unitAvatars.xml file
2) open this file with the xml editor
3) Each model string starts with the model name and after various model parameters
4) search for the parameter called <f_modelScale>1</f_modelScale>
5) Change it in <f_modelScale>0.5</f_modelScale>
6) now your unit model will look smaller
7) Do it for all your models and you'll have a real scaled mod, infact in this way all the troops will be scaled down to be in scale with the villages and the authers object in the game

Ahh thank you.

But I guess adding new things would be difficult right? Like new items, or new types of units.

[asadexes]

i'm adding new unit types mixing the model parts of the existing units working on Unit Avatars file
Each unit has an head, a body and two handed weapons, you can mix each one in the way you want
So you can create new troops, new heroes and new specials.

Map editor will automatically see the new files and you can put them in your maps
