lib.so is a library and it was compiled in linux
bins are not library but they are wrote with assembly
you cant convert this type files bcs they very complex
only there way do disassemble it :
you need learn machine code (assembly) and get help from some tools like ida pro but you cant do anything without assembly knowledge
sometimes you can understand somethings with hex (hxd)

I want more continents in EW4. But even the animatin files can be understood once, they are not this complex. We just have to collect and share the knowlege. BILE and maps are very similar for many ET-games. For this reason I start the thread quite incomplete. Do you mod also EW4 ? Every hint is appreciated. |

It could disassemble lib.so, but I know nothing about machine code. I'm stuck at how to change the number of senior seats. |

I only know EW4, but many things are equal in many ET-games. The here discussed BILE .bin files are the same, even continent.bin works very similar (I hope to move them between games one time). You mod WC right, The Ottoman Modding ? |

You mod WC right, The Ottoman Modding ? yes im modding wc4 search is wont give result bcs it not we can do there a way for that: learn assembly (its one of hardest programming languages) |

It couldΒ disassemble lib.so, but I know nothing about machine code. I'm stuck at how to change the number of senior seats. You don't have to change the code, but the resolved namespaces and the usage of variables and constants are a great help for advanced modding. The lib is comiled with a c compiler the dissassembled Mnemonics code is practical not understandable, as long it is not decompiled to c. Sadly cutter.re is not aviable on android - I will try to find or make it for termux. Thank you for the tipp p220fhf. I still don't know which game you work on, or what are senior seats. But as much as I followed your efforts: Just adding a seat in the UI won't be enough. You need to change them even in the lib - so you are on the way, but it is hard to find. In EW4 many arrays are with a constant size, IE: adding more save-slots or conquests than 6 require too many changes to work reliable. If you find in the lib something like seat1 seat2 and seat3 it will be extreme unlikely to add a full working seat4 with success. |

I saw some posts said just change the value under CorpsSettings and it'd work. It did in some way, but the extra generals couldn't be upgraded. |

I saw some posts said just change the value under CorpsSettings and it'd work. It did in some way, but the extra generals couldn't be upgraded. This is already a success! Nice. An important tipp: Document your changings. If you once start a second mod, you will be happy to have written down all single changes and your 'know how'. Empty 2020 calendars can be so usefullSo next project: make them upgradeable - enjoy ! |

Thx for your tip mate. I think making them up-gradable may involve some advance coding. As the empty slots aren't controlled by those jsons imo. But there is a workaround to achieve it, by making the desired generals fully upgraded. |
