LOTR: Battle For Middle Earth I & II EditingDiscuss any modding related issues to do with the Lord Of The Rings: Battle For Middle Earth I and II RTS games here.
How do you learn the basics of BFME INI editting? I have done TS and RA2, and they both have beginners INI editting tutorials which I have about mastered, but none for BFME. I couldnt find any for CNC Generals. Can anyone direct me to a good sight?
There's quite a few tutorials there that should help you with a lot of things you need to know. There are some for Generals around the place, but very few places where there's lots in one area (there's a few here, and there's some at Sleipnir's Stuff )
On Sleipnir's Stuff I didnt find anything but voxel and shp "stuff". That is for ra2 and ts. I already know about the Third Age but it doesnt give you any background on bfme modding. But thanx anyways.
http://gendev.game-mod.net/ has some good tutorials for basic Generals editing, if you were unable to find it before for some reason. Beyond that, The Third Age is about the best basic resource for BFME modding out there. Check the forums, and if you have questions, or idea for a tutorial, they are very willing to listen.
You could try using TibEd (http://www.tibed.net) to try to learn your way around the INI files, but in its current form support for BFME is a bit limited (you cannot edit units yet). But things like weapons and upgrades are accessible.
