I just wanted to know if anyone here mods EAW/FOC that I could maybe ask a few questions to?

as far as I know, we used to have a modding forum for EAW/FOC, but no one posted there, so it was taken down.

Well mebbe theres still some ppl at GT that mod EAW without us knowing.

Well. I'm learning how to code it and use the map editor so maybe we could learn as we go as a team redgroup.

Yeah

Ive already been makin some maps, but Im trying to figure out how to edit the XMLs and get them to work in the game...

Before NORTON THE ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM made me have to completely dump my computer, I was one of the big map creators on EAW and FOC. I can still remember my 'The Maw Installation' land map. *starts to cry* Everyone who played it gave it a 9 or 10 out of 10. Those were the good days...when I could do multiplayer! Now every server is just a version mismatch...

yea those were the days when i made maps...i used to be really into modding EAW, i left off about at the XMLs and believe it or not thats actually when i sparked interest in swbf2 modding. i would love to do a mod project for eaw. i do know that modding it is a lot harder than swbf2 but im up to the challenge!(if u wanna do a mod project type thing is what im talking about) however my online play still doesnt work

Im not so sure as to a project yet, because I still need to get in-tune with how to activate mods and edit XMLs (yeah it is harder than BF2 @_@). But sounds like itd be fun once I start getting 'in-tune' with it. Im also looking into creating new models for it, but I dont know like what size the models should be and how to convert the model files to alamo. Get 3D Max, put alamo in a folder and use it like the pandemicaddon or Crosswalk in XSI?

Why wont ur online play work? U mean its broken or like every server is a version mismatch?

downright broken. xfire doesnt work ingame and i cannot connect to the EAW online server. i get this message: "CD Key authentication failed. you must have a valid cd key" i posted a topic about this a while ago but never fixed it

That stinks

Does guru or someone maybe have a more current modding tut for EAW? The one up now is for the demo.

I guess I saw one on gamespot but when I saved the edited XML files, nothing was changed in the game.


So anyone got any EAW modding tutorials that arent for the demo?

Hey Guys glad someone mods foc cos i got a question. When i spwn a star destroyer in the editor its only on 75% health and all the hardpoints are yellow and it cant get any higher to 100% health how do I fix this

Did you do any XML editing or just editing the health option on the left panel where the ship is displayed?

Place where health is displayed

Was there supposed to be a ? mark after that?

No, I meant i tried on that panel on the left where when you select the star destroyer pops up and its health is something like 11250 and the hardpoints are yellow at 50-70%

Someone needs to learn how to speak clearer... ....What is happening to the smilies?!
Is the bar on its health setting in the left panel already full? If it isnt then you need to raise it full or just type in 9999999 and press enter. If its still not at full health the XML is messed up.

Sorry if i wasnt clear i was drunk or dead. On the left panel theres the health bar of the sdestroyer the max health even when i type 999999999 is 11250

"Drunk or dead"...?
Okay not gonna wonder about your age...>.> <.<

Post the units XML on here. If I cant find anything wrong then I dont have anything to say besides try reinstalling the editor.

Drunk or Dead is just an expression. But What and Where is its XML

Go into C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire At War\Gamedata\Data\XML and look for an XML called Spaceunitscapital. Open it and use ctrl+f and type in star_destroyer or one of those two words. When you get down to the Star Destroyer section, copy it all and post it on here.

Its FOC editor
