Need help to edit existing mod.

Post by Xercaine »

Hello!

I would like to make a quick small edit to an existing mod, if this is something that's relatively easily doable. The mod in question is the Republic Commando mod by Anakin. I'm not familiar with BF2 modding, so if anyone is interested in giving some help with this, what I have in mind is to permanently change the default reinforcement count and AI count of the enemy for the Galactic Conquest mode in the mod. Nothing more.

If possible, what software could I use to achieve this? Any instructions would be very appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

Hello there,

you're dissatisfied with my mod :shock:

Just kidding, so actually yes it is possible. First you need to decide if you wanna do the changes only in GC or in instant action, too.

Next you need to write a custom game script, check if you are in the right era/map. My era code is "r". UOP variables may help you to find out about the map/era that is loaded. Then you need to find out the name of the reinforcement/unit count variable (that i don't know) and change the value.

How difficult it is, well idk. If you really want it, it's doable.

If you have the 1.3 patch installed, you should have a thing in your pause menu called "Fake Console" and in there you should have commands that mess with reinforcements and bot counts.
