Cmdr. Cracken Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I put the new .xml files and overwrote the original ones, but they seem not to take effect in the campaign for the Empire. Like the Venator mod i tried and it didn't work. Am I doing something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dookie23 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Is it in the right directory? And did you make a XML folder in gamedata? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lion54 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Did you try to convert your xmls back to megs? If so, they will not work. Just add the modded xmls to "C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War\GameData\Data\XML." You will have to create the xml folder if you didn't already. Also, and this gets a lot of people, remove "DATA%XML%" from the xml file name. Example: "DATA%XML%UNIQUEUNITS" should be renamed to "UNIQUEUNITS". Hope that helps!

Cmdr. Cracken Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 so i don't overwrite the original .xml files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lion54 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 No. Any xml in the xml folder will take precedence over the originals. If you have ever modded Kotor, for example, you can think of the xml folder as the overright folder. (As far as xmls go, I'm not sure about the other files types.)

Cmdr. Cracken Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 That would help. If you could get it stickied, that would help more. I was trying to change myself the pop. caps in space and land battles. They don't feel epic with only 4 Star Destroyers and not much else, eh?

Bob Lion54 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 That would help. Done!!! If you could get it stickied, that would help more. Well, thats not up to me. hehe. If I did a good job with it, maybe they will sticky it. I was trying to change myself the pop. caps in space and land battles. They don't feel epic with only 4 Star Destroyers and not much else, eh? Yea, I know what you mean. The only problem is getting the CPU to have about as many units as you do. Otherwise it would be a massacre. Albeit and epic one.
