You edit the existing grapicressoure .png files - or do you build them new? And you just change them for HD (I don't think the IPad graphics are used)? You can change skills - right? It seems for me very comfortable to edit Ascii-XML files instead of patching binary datafiles. When I have a machine again - maybe I will mod also a bit. After making a change to an APK you need a new certificate? (One bit change has to make an APK unusable - for security) If you are taking about the bak file that is used so if you make a mistake you can recreate the old one. I personally only change XML files because they are easier. You edit the existing files and yes, you can change skills. |

How to NOT make your mods crash!- Don't mess up coding and double check your changes! You don't want "attack":2 to be Attack:2.
- Be carful with changing skins! Make sure you use the "bucket tool" and only change the units!
- Make sure you didn't misspell files you want to replace!
NOTE: if you are using a unlock Apk that doesn't show all the skins, DON'T Edit them.
Can you link these posts to the first post of the thread, so they can see it fast |

Sure I can! It will be some time though because I have to finish my easytech Generals mod. All I have left to do is portraits and generals.

HOW TO CHANGE ARMY STATS:- Go to json file
- Click "army skills or "army tech"
- Find a feature that you like for example "2" is "grenade"
Copy the feature number you selected and find a unit you want the feature to. Let's say Artillery.After finding the unit; go to features and add that number. Then click Save.NOTE: Be very careful while doing this or the whole game may crash!
Examples:

Forgive me for what I'm about to do.
I'm about to stack forts.
Also how in the world does "Formation Chance" work?

I'm gonna make the AI spawn quadruple-stacked bunkers now Sadly in wc4 the AI doesn't spam Forts. It is possible but not likely. You can improve the chances of AI Spaming units by editing the Strategy file in the Config file. |

Thanks, I can now make the AI build forts. |

Interestingly enough, I found a "mistake" that the game doesn't actually recognize. For assault infantry, I accidentally put their min range as 10 and max range as 1 (I didn't even want to change their range lol I was going for damage), but the game only counts the minimum range, so they can attack at 10 spaces but no less. It doesn't actually make the game crash.

Currently in my "all units are at least somewhat viable world conqueror negative 4" mod which is about 3% complete, artillery has 1-3 range. I feel like the game has a few "autocorrect" features, which does make coding somewhat easier. It doesn't help you develop good form though. |

Darth Nihilus, have you done some research with the generals like prices or skills? Or are you making a unit mod?
