Well coding alone won't do it you will need to bind a horse model to borormir's for it to even have a chance of working.

How will that work then? Any horse model is fine.

You need to bind it though to boromir.

Hey, I have a question. How do you create more hero slots for a fortress? Basically I want to have a fortress able to build like 12 heroes, but only the first 7 or so have slots.

You have to change the mens fortress commandset to allow more hero slots in the ini file. It normally looks like this:

CommandSet MenFortressCommandSet
InitialVisible = 6
//Main Menu
1= Command_ConstructMenPorter
2 = Command_SelectRevivablesMenFortress
3 = Command_SelectUpgradesMenFortress
4= Command_SpecialAbilityIvoryTowerVision ; ;
5= Command_FireWeaponMenFortressBoilingOil ; ;
6= Command_Sell

//Upgrades Menu
7= Command_PurchaseUpgradeMenFortressBanners
8= Command_PurchaseUpgradeMenFortressHouseOfHealing
9= Command_PurchaseUpgradeMenFortressIvoryTower ; ;
10= Command_PurchaseUpgradeMenFortressBoilingOil
11= Command_PurchaseUpgradeMenFortressNumenorStonework
12= Command_PurchaseUpgradeMenFortressFlamingMunitions ; ;
13= Command_RadialBack

//Hero Menu
14= Command_RingHeroReviveSlot
15= Command_CreateAHeroReviveSlot// Note we also need an extra slot for the Create A Hero
16= Command_GenericReviveSlot1//Revives any hero. keep them UNIQUE within the same commandset!
17= Command_GenericReviveSlot2
18= Command_GenericReviveSlot3
19= Command_GenericReviveSlot4
20= Command_GenericReviveSlot5
21= Command_GenericReviveSlot6
22= Command_GenericReviveSlot7
23= Command_RadialBack
End


*** Heres what it should look like for 12 hero slots:


CommandSet MenFortressCommandSet
InitialVisible = 6
//Main Menu
1= Command_ConstructMenPorter
2 = Command_SelectRevivablesMenFortress
3 = Command_SelectUpgradesMenFortress
4= Command_SpecialAbilityIvoryTowerVision ; ;
5= Command_FireWeaponMenFortressBoilingOil ; ;
6= Command_Sell

//Upgrades Menu
7= Command_PurchaseUpgradeMenFortressBanners
8= Command_PurchaseUpgradeMenFortressHouseOfHealing
9= Command_PurchaseUpgradeMenFortressIvoryTower ; ;
10= Command_PurchaseUpgradeMenFortressBoilingOil
11= Command_PurchaseUpgradeMenFortressNumenorStonework
12= Command_PurchaseUpgradeMenFortressFlamingMunitions ; ;
13= Command_RadialBack

//Hero Menu
14= Command_RingHeroReviveSlot
15= Command_CreateAHeroReviveSlot// Note we also need an extra slot for the Create A Hero
16= Command_GenericReviveSlot1//Revives any hero. keep them UNIQUE within the same commandset!
17= Command_GenericReviveSlot2
18= Command_GenericReviveSlot3
19= Command_GenericReviveSlot4
20= Command_GenericReviveSlot5
21= Command_GenericReviveSlot6
22= Command_GenericReviveSlot7
23= Command_GenericReviveSlot8
24= Command_GenericReviveSlot9
25= Command_GenericReviveSlot10
26= Command_GenericReviveSlot11
27= Command_GenericReviveSlot12
28= Command_RadialBack
End


So thats 14 total including the spot for Create A Heros and the Ring Hero....

I This should work. LOL it might not allow more than 12 heros total though. I dont remeber how many you can have.

I hope this helps........

O and could someone answer my question in the other thread with the name: Can i get some help plz, or somthing like that.

Thanks,

First of all Hello everybody
I'm new and I joined this forum for some help with editing I just started with it and I want to change some things ingame.
The biggest thing I want to do is making the balrog playable as a hero I don't how to add him to a faction and let him stay forever so some help would be fun^^

Greetings, Naugrim.

Ok I'm not referring to my ini here so this is roughly what you should do:
In the balrog object there should be something called lifetimeupdate of something like that. Remove it. Then, go to playertemplate/faction template whatever its called and then in the mordor section you add 'MordorBalrog' at the end of the hero list.

Thank you for your help Eruant44.
It was some searching because I still didn't know where to find but after 6 mins I had it:P (pretty fast their are way to much files xD)
You made my day it is funny to kill guys with balrog xD

Greetings, Naugrim.

How do I create a Localized String for maps I make, I want to create an Intro like in Gladiator and stuff like that. How do i do this?

make a new script and make it start off right away(the trigger) and make it show text or viedo(command for it I just forgot what it was) whatver you want.

How do you add units from faction to faction(eg.Men of Dale to Men otW?

Thanks

JBV!!!!!!!!!! If u'r reading this, tell me if I can use your sword flame for my map I'm making. I learned a LOT from your gladiator underworld return of Morgoth, thanks for the noob tips at the start =D.


NEVERMIND!!!
I tried testing field on 1-player skirmish and it crashed because it couldn't load FXParticle things. Can you tell why or is it just the way it is...

[This message has been edited by Darkmist255 (edited 10-01-2008 @ 09:47 PM).]

JBV has become a hired game designer ,for some company i forget which, and no longer checks BFME forums so most likely the only way you can reach him is by Email.

Thanks, and my newest map is nearly done, just a few errors, IT DOESN'T CRASH ANYMORE WOOT!!!!!!!!!!

No problem, tell me when its done and ill be sure to review it for you.

Hi im new here, but to get to the point heres my problem.
I opened INI.big with FinalBIG and went to commandbutton.ini and changed in the CreateAHeroUIPrerequisiteButtonName = Command_CreateAHero_Bombard_Level2
I changed this to None so that I wouldnt need any requirements for it but the only problem is ever since I changed that.
Every time I open the game the splash screen comes up and the screen is black as if the EA icon were about to open and it gives me a different error every time, the most recent one is this:

Unknown field 'PreventPlayerCommands' in block 'EmmotionNugget'

Error parsing field 'PreventPlayerCommands' in block 'EmmotionNugget' in file 'Data\INI\Emotions.ini', line 119.


Sorry about the long post, I tried to cut it down as much as possible


Edit: I've reinstalled and putting in my backup of the INI.big but it still gives me that message, the commandbutton.ini within INI.big doesnt seem to change no matter what I do.


Thanks

I have read possibly every pice of info on this site of how to do this and it still won't work. I need to add additional game generated heroes, EG (Aragorn,Lurtz) to existing factions EG (Angmar, Goblins) I have downloaded a file from this site that changed by CommandButton.ini and Commandsets.ini files so that they could use more slots.
I then added Aragorn to the list of goblin heroes, and saved. Than as a check to see if the game was reading the correct files I halved Shelobs cost from 2000 to 1000. In addition I changed the number of Power points you start with from 5 to 200, and this is working swell. When I loaded the game and started up the goblins there was no Aragorn in the hero list.

As an additional question I would like to know how to edit the recharge time's for powers EG (Balrog, Rally Cry)

Any help would be appreciated, I know your probably all busy people, in fact so am I, since grade 12 is rough. If you find the time to answer that would be nice.

This is for a mod by the way for my own personal enjoyment.

I'm not sure about the additional heros because I'm working on mine at the moment. Once I've got that sussed I'll inform you. But I do know how to change recharge timings and they're easy;

data\ini\specialpower.ini then edit the reload time under each power.

Welcome to BFME2H and sorry for being so long in replying to your Q's, it doen't usually take this long and this has been a long thread!!

best wishes on your mod!!

Really noob question , I found how to change command points so I can have huge armies but I find if I could just make the battilions larger, such as 20 gondor swordsmen not 5 the battles would be much better. Is this possible? Or would formation coding just mess it all up.

Hey Tzuridis

You need final big (fb) for this and i would recommend your own map (making a map.ini)(otherwise you need your own mod, and I don't know how that should be done).
(Download Finalbig here :http://www.wagnerma.de/downloads.php
When you have fb, use it to open ini.big and search for data/ini/object/goodfaction/hordes/men/menhordes. copy all of it, open wordpad, and paste all.
then press ctrl+f and type ''slots'' (only slots)
search the slots of the units you want to change, and change them in whatever you like (I don't think there is a limit on it or something)
Here is a tutorial for setting up a map.ini: http://www.the3rdage.net/item-215?apage=273#page

I hope i'm clear and you can understand my english :P

Hello! I JUST bought BFME2 (1-30-09), and tried to tweak the ini.big file with FinalBig.... and what i got was a message that the file is locked. Now, I've *tweaked* other games before so i'm not a total buffoon, but i'm at a loss how to overcome the *lock*.
Is this locked-ness perhaps a function of Windows-Vista or perhaps added to the game in its later production?? Or am i just a dork??
And is anyone still monitoring this site for new posts?

His Dorkiness, EE/kft

Hi EtherEel, and welcome to BFME2H.

Can you tell us exactly what the message says? The more specific you are the more likely it is that someone can help you.

It could also be something to do with Windows Vista like you mentioned. I am fairly unexperienced with Vista, but you should try following these steps to see if they make a difference.

Ini.big should be overwriteable (I just tested it), so as I know nothing of vista, that *could* have something to do.
Maybe the file is write-protected?

You can also make a small mod and change whatever you like, that way you can also keep your game playable online.

Wow !!! That was a quick response, thanx!
I'm looking into my issues further. But the reason i usually go for file rewriting is that i seem to have a intellectual block regarding making mods...somehow i just don't get it.

And btw, it seems that RotWK in not in production any more, what's up with that ??!

--EE/kft

A Lot of people didn't like it so EA decided to discontinue it ;p
