Hello, I would like to know how to modify the appearances of the units in EW4, I have searched a lot in the forum but I can not find anything about this, sorry for my English, I speak Spanish Hola marco77, You see the army_*.* files - they contain all graphics and animations for the different units. I don't know how to change the movements in the army_*.bin files, but You can change the apperance of units by modifying the army_*.png (and army_*.xml). Nice that you asked in english, thats our board language. If something is not clear, just ask again. Enjoy the board! |

Hello again, sorry for the question, but do you know how to position generals and units on a conquest map? For the six conquests, they are defined in the conquest*.btl files. You have to edit battlefiles (.btl) binary, with a hex-editor. Here you find the .btl file-structure as much I know. The Hex-ID's are always the same for an field in europa or america. I am not so good in explaining. Have first a look at my post and then exammine a few btl-files. If you can work with an hex-editor, I can give you then more detailed informations on request. |

Hello there I was reviewing the publication and I found an editor but I don't really understand yet, but I have gotten the hexadecimals for the different units, but I still don't know how to change their position, could you explain to me? My disagreements if I am not so clear, it is something difficult |

My disagreements if I am not so clear, it is something difficult It is somehow difficult - lets look as example at campaign1_2.btl open it with your hex-editor. First comes the header with map,size the amount of units etc. (4Β½-lines, when you see 16 bytes in a row) 0000 : 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 15 00 00 00 1D 00 00 00 EW4, Europe, 21 left, 29 top
0010 : 14 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 34 00 00 00 4 20 width, 20 height, 6 countries, 52 elements
0020 : 2B 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 + 43 units, 4, 2, 0
0030 : 1E 00 00 00 0C 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2E 00 00 00 30 victory, 12 great v, 0, 46
0040 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0, 0
The europe map has 79 hex in one row. From the header we know: We start with top-row 29: first HexId of row 29 is (29 * 79) = 2291 (HexId dec) + a left offset of 21 = 2312 (HexId dec) Is our first field - every row down starts with ID+79 Scrolling down are comming the countries: fra (0), koi (1), pie (2), aus (3), che (4) gbr (5). At 0x 0480 starts the border-section (one byte per hex on the battlefield. The battlefield is 20*20 hex big (0x14), so I arrange 400 Bytes in rows of 20 bytes
2312 - 2332 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 03 03 03 03 03 03 03

At 0x 0610 start the elements (city,stable,trench etc) everyone take 16 Byte, it starts with 10 09. Data is saved with low byte first, so it means: Hex:0910 = 2320 (HexId decimal) this is the HexId of the first element. The next element (+16bytes) 0x 0620: 5E 09 => 0x095E = 2398 (HexId decimal) second element 0x 0640: 62 09 => 0x0962 = 2402 (HexId decimal) third element If you use MT you can use the inspector to easy see the values in decimal. Scroll down to 0x 0950 Here starts the unit section (32 Bytes per unit) First two bytes = position: 0x 0950: 63 09 => 0x0962 = 2403 (HexId decimal) position first unit Scroll down to 0x9F0 0x 09f0 : B1 09 06 01 B3 00 B3 00 00 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 0x 0a00 : 71 49 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 01 FF 00 00 00 00 00 This is the first unit with an general. At HexId 2481 (dec) we have commander 18801 (71 49 => 18801 = Bachmann def_commander.xml) on Light Cav (06) double formation(01) with 179/179 HP (B3 00 / B3 00) You can move him by changing the HexId-position, but HexId must be on de battlefield. |
