Play you mods without copying and deleting files Tutorial and Help thread.

I found a way that makes playing mods a thousnd times easier. You simply need to make a file for EAW to read. For those of you who are too lazy, skip this next part. For others, read this.

 

How to play your mod without changing files allaround.

 

Okay so here we go.

1.Go into the Game Data folder in the Empire At War directory.

2.Take your mod folder in the Game Data/mods folder.

3.If you need to unzip/rar it, go ahead and do so now.

4.Make a folder that has a simple name but reflects the actual mod.

5.open the PlayStevesEwokMod.bat with notepad.

6.The file should look like this.

sweaw MODPATH=Mods\StevesEwokMod

Change the last part to what your mod folder is. Now save as your mod name and you should be okay.

 

IMPORTANT!!!!

The inside of your mod folder must first have a Data folder then be constucted just like the data folder.

 

 

Now for the lazys.

If you want me to make one of these files for your, email me at rot3k10@yahoo.com with the mod itself or the download link and I'll make it for you.

 

Hope this helps.

You can also do this by creating a short cut to SWEAW.EXE go to that short cuts properties and in the target box it should look like this

"[install Directory]\GameData\sweaw.exe" MODPATH=Mods/[Mod Folder]

I.e mine looks like this

"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War\GameData\sweaw.exe" MODPATH=Mods/Trealism

 

 

 

I got the idea for this after remember how you accessed the hidden "dino" levels in C&C

It's also for the mods that don't have a installation folder.
