Great - a guide will help a lot, to get the starting I think. You can edit .btl files without software on your google host? Nice. If you don't have a Hex-Editor (NMM for Android - free) you can edit binary files even with your editor. The terminal command xxd converts a binary file to a, hex-editor-like text file, that you can edit with any text editor. xxd -r will convert this text-file back to binary. You need to understand a bit the CLI. Cool, I'll create a simple guide that just tells people where to look for stuff. I don't think it'll be too long. I THINK there's a way to edit .btl files without software on Google, but as of now I haven't found any ways yet. There are of course apps that you can use on a phone, or an online hex-editor that doesn't require any downloads. I'll probably also explain the BTL guide that was posted on here a few years ago, since that one requires a video tutorial and most people aren't familiar with the format. A guide and to bring the important information together is ideed a great help. I tried for months to uncover the btl-structure for EW4 until Arthur Currie found a 5-year old /thread/1951, forgotten in the headquarter with exactly the btl-structure, I was searching for. |

Cool i've seen You started your guide. I like your structure, very useful, nice. I want to ask you one thing Darth Nihilus; did you try to mod directly on your android device? I have to ask because I read something of minutes for opening files inside an APK? Try one time MT-manager (< 10MB) on your phone, please. If you need to do a few value edits open the akp directly on your phone. It takes one or two seconds ! and you browse and can edit inside the apk like any filesystem folder. The complete process: Open-Edit-Save-Sign-Install-Start-Test all this takes for single changes less than two (2) minutes for all ! (Yess MT signs fast, installation and start takes the most time) I don't want to change your workflow, but for debugging you will love MT. Enjoy |

(Yess MT signs fast) Enjoy I do most of my modding on a laptop, but I use my phone to compile. I use an app that's just called "APK editor", really only because I'm familiar with its UI and I'm more comfortable with it, even though it's a lot slower than MT-manager. Also the part about spending 5 minutes waiting for files to load was more of a joke lol, having a google drive file is just a small timesave really. If I ever get back into large-scale modding (like the uno reverse mod I need to work on) I'll be sure to check it out, thanks |

If I ever get back into large-scale modding (like the uno reverse mod I need to work on) I'll be sure to check it out, thanks Uhhh I don't know, we have a complete Thread of MT (by the way the first modding tool that was recommended in EFC - but at this time only in Chinese aviable). I make it short: MT is the best file-manager for android that I found. (two folders like NC) Just for this usage I used MT. That I can open and look inside apks like any other folder on my phone (image preview, text-editor) brought me to the modding. I know and have APK-Editor. This is buggy crap - never finished and pretty outdated - the old bicycle compared to an 2021 e-car. The MT interface is the open source Material Files - you don't need time to learn. You can keep your common workstyle, from APK-Editor, but this time you can see and controll what you're doing. (preview,checksums etc + AutoSign) Give the bin-family a try - you will say - wtf. And MT has some spoofy tools for modding the files outside assets (great ones with paywall). |

ππ³π°π΅π΄π¬πΊ, I tried out MT manager today, and... wow you were right, this is so much faster than APK manager. The UI was slightly unintuitive, but once I learned how to swap files it almost instantly compiles the APK

Where can I download MT manager unlock vip version Welcome to the forum! If you have any questions about modding or ET games in general, please don't hesitate to ask, and we'll try to answer your questions as soon as possible! The link to the free version is here: european-war-4.boards.net/thread/14206/link-toolsThe vip version can be found here: european-war-4.boards.net/thread/14944/mt-manager-vipAlthough, I personally prefer the free version, and the vip version apparently doesn't work super well. However there might be other links in the second thread that work better. |

Since the latest MT-Versions you can activate the VIP via PAYPAL Which VIP-Feature are you looking for ? If it's the complete HEX-Edit that you are missing, take the free NMM-Editors + free MT . You should not ask for any kind of cracks anymore, and enjoy the board. |
