Hello Robert Navelnice to meet you. I've noticed your activity. I started modding with the UnlockAPK from the board (Welcome BJ). Text-Files are easy to understand and changes no problem for me. A reference how the file-name system works will be handy. Where you got your knowledge from? Have you any references? Right now I just have a phone, so no graphics changes - but I'm including additional resources for my modding. I'am very interested in HoTo Create and edit missions and new maps. Hope to see you soon - enjoy |

Thank you so much Robert Navel! This informations are exactly what I searched - it saved hours (days - is more correct) of testing. I didn't see the explanation, but I assume that you know that the cyan lines (first guide) represent the resources for each country. I will add my confirmed assumptions in the btl-File format thread. That there is no tool to create an 'empty' but complete btl-file is amazing - just on android I didn't find for now, one handy tool to create binaries with templates - how do you work? Making a map bigger, for example, requires the exact amount of extra bytes for the border section - how do youadd them? Thank you a lot for the guides! Enjoy modding |

With your help I enjoy already more. campaign1_02b.btl is made for testing - adding items in the shop etc. I hope to find a btl-editor. Do you mod on a rooted device? Additional findings I add in the file structure when I'm sure. |

Now i need your help i'd like to change the unit texture of tier 2 rocket but I don't know how to put it in there, can you help me I'm on phone, so I don't do graphic change, but you can copy another spritelib (png+XML) in your mod. Delete the rocket2xxx.png entry in the ew4 army_rocket.xml Rename the name of the sprite you want in the ew6lib.XML to rocket2xxx.png. I think all army_* files load automatic. Theoretical you can make a lib out of one single image + XML <Texture name="army_mynewrocket1.png" />
<Images>
<Image name="rocket2xxx.png" x="0" y="0" w="51" h="30" refx="0" refy="0" />
</Images>
<Texture> w and h are with and height and refx,refy the offset to adjust the position, if necessary. If you work with PC use TexturePacker and you can edit all single sprites individual - and build the libs anytime new. |
