We are not talking of the size of the battlefields. (.btl) You are working on WC4 - you have a world map inside, in EW4 there only two maps: NordAmerica (west) and Europe. For this reason we look to import more maps, or extend the existing. Translating the WC4 map (world2 ??) doesntΒ΄t bring usable result, as the interlace directions of the hex are 90ΒΊ different between EW and WC well so need remove limit but thats can make as manuel ,btw i tried yet edit europe bin with wc4 map editor but its seems doesnt work but some ET games are work in wc4 editor did you tried with other editors for ew4 maps? I have even never seen one editor at all. Directly you can't exchange EW4 and WC4 maps, they have different sizes for one hex. 3k seems to have the most similar to EW4 map-format. Do you mod also WC3 The Ottoman Modding ? |

Yes, with pleasure. My focus is to make one a for my Ideas optimized EW4 that can be easy modded and used for my or our future mods. I still need more informations about some details, but I am quite progressed. Extending one map in West, East or North (why?) will change all Hex ID, I have to test it better, I think I found the hack to make btl-files more stable, but all armies will be compleetly messed around. Reading and maybe even writing pvr-files opens quite a few new possibilities. You are good at battlesetting, what was your 1793 conquest you talked about. (EW names the 1798 sometimes 1793 - maybe this was planned first. Do you think there is interresting info in Guide 6 and 7? Guide 8 for the fonts seems to collect only the different fonts from the games. I had to make a new font, to get the possibility to use bigger general images: 256*256 will be the size for my mods. We need to fix the problem, with wide screens. |

ππ³π°π΅π΄π¬πΊ,BTW the lib so offset to unlock every missions is 0x0007a610. but in the hotseat mod, they have added new functions which i can't add myself This is already nice success. Reverse engeneering is a hard job. Sharing all the infos makes modding much more sucessful. I will have a look. As much as I remember was my fist check at the btl-files, but they seem original. Maybe they activate the unfinished multiplayer mode, that is waiting on the next player to move - and returns back. This will cause a few patches. Your finding will help for sure, thank you. And again, you were fast! PS: Can you please add the value lock/unlock |

I can't change my screensize. Fot this reason I asked Darth Vader for help. He is the only way I know to test other layoutsizes. Can you change the screensize in the emulator on your pc? The boundaries i read in the files with hexeditor. |

So your patch-adress is a subroutine you bypass, not a value, The adress seemd so. If you have such tools and enjoy reverse engineering: I would trace back the usage of cc_commander.bin. I am sure this is the control checksum for the consitence generals and items. I don't think there other blockings in 1.4.30. In 1.6 there are nore controls i always get a warning screen tat I can't understand and te game quits. If you can unblock this test we have already a new moddable EW4 version, only 4 slots. |

Wow this is nice, can you share it please ? The coasts can be puzzled out of the existing map overlays. |
