I have a bit of modding questions:
1. How does one edit the animations for a unit- or at least replace and make that unit use that animation?
2. Do you know how to sign an apk, or at least what software to use?
3. Is it possible to add textures or edit them?
4. Can you change the campaigns completely?
Sorry, most of these questions don't seem a bit "intelligent" at all, but I'm afraid of crashes and such....

1. I dont know
2. I use APK Editor which auto signs
3. Yeah, just replace one texture file with another. Look at my recent random area posts to see my new EW4 textures.
4. Yes, through Hexadecimal editing.

Nonsense, those questions are good ones to ask if you wishes to learn how to modify graphics in an Easytech game (no little challenge, that's for sure). You will need to use a copy of the graphic and modify it while staying within the borders (or restricted areas for individual portions, you know what I mean?). The idea is to mimic the file's layout but with a different graphic appearance. I recommend you use GIMP or Photoshop (elements series, main series or CS) for the graphic editing. Paint is a little terrible for extensive graphic work. |

I've been using it for almost two years now and I'm still learning alot of new features. |

I've been using it for almost two years now and I'm still learning alot of new features. I'm just saying those two options are good. I personally use GIMP myself since it's free but... I did had Photoshop CS3 back then when PS CS3 was going to come out, I got a free copy of CS 3 six months ahead of the public because I was a student at Rochester Institute of Technology at that time. If I was still at RIT, I can get Photoshop for free, even the CS edition and other stuff which can be thousands of dollars worth in the public market. Besides a lot of people who buys Macs tends to also throw money around for Photoshop, keep that in mind. But yeah... on your own, it's just easier to get GIMP. |

Oh ok thanks. When you were talking about changing the graphics, you want me keep the shape of the texture? Is that what you mean?

The text inside the table is the graphic itself, and the bounding box is just the limit of how big the graphic can be So long as you make the edits over a certain limit of space over and around a texture, you will be just fine. |

Btw guys, sorry if I repeat a question that was already answered by you guys through PM. It's just me forgetting everything lol.
Here is my campaign idea:
Allies
For the last mission of invading Japan, I think it's better to have battles of the Far East (Not Khalkin Gol). Like the later stages, close to the end of the war.
Axis: Instead of invading Great Britian, just take out certain units. Instead of invading Australia, just take out certain units. instead of invading America, it's Battle Of Berlin. Take out certain units to attain victory. Instead of capturing Moscow and conquering the Soviets, just take out certain units and take certain cities.
WTO: Tet Offensive, Easter Offensive, Wars of The Middle East, Korean War, Chinese Civil War (that's a definite), Vietnam War, Soviet Afghanistan War, and some more (just forgot...). No more invading countries that weren't invaded during Cold War
NATO: Same as WTO,except with invading, taking or destroying units and cities.
Union: I don't even know lol. I was thinking something realistic, so I thought, "terrorism" but that seems to raise a bit of controversy. Might have to get the admin's permission.
This is just a rough sketch of my plans, most likely will change. Some are incomplete....But just a question......Is this all possible?

Look for Monty's video, it will teach you. For most of these you would just change which items are objectives. |

Changing the maps to match the missions is all hex editing too? Just to clarify, it's all WC3 right?
