Thanks Just wondering, do you have a PC? It would be great. After that, everything should be pretty easy (I'll tell you later). |

Ok I managed to open the JSON in files and edit attack range and other stuff. how do switch say the torpedo ability for rocket attack,any help will be appreciated. Thanks Open your stringtable. Scroll till you see the list of abilities (sniper, rocket launcher, grenade, etc). Next to these are the numbers. Now look at a unit in json. If it contains an ability you don't want, find the ability's number. Delete the number, and find the desired ability and it's number. Add it in. If you want to add an ability, just do the same except instead of removing, just add a comma after an ability number and add it. Remember, abilities are found in the json in the form of brackets I think (brackets look like this: "[" "]".) Don't delete any brackets, otherwise the app will crash. Numbers will be in it. These numbers are the abilities. Each ability has it's own number. Btw, if in the stringtable has an ability number that starts with a "0" (for example: "01", "02", "03", etc), ignore the zero and put the number. Hope this sort of helped. |

Ok I was unable to find the string code but I figured out some codes by experimenting,another question I have is changing the 3 images for HQ conquest and scenarios. |

As for the images for like the conquests, you'll need the Mali Compression Tool. It's needed to open the PKM files. I forgot which file contains the conquest images, but you can look around. When you fin it, compress again to PKM and save the image as png. When you compress the file, you can throw away it (since you already have the compressed file). The coordinates are also in another file, forgot which.

does aybody have the badiu guide for the game models.thanks Game models are hard to make. You'll need Mali Compression tool, Gimp, etc. And depends if you're taking models from other games or making your own textures. And by the way, game models are a somewhat incorrect term. Textures would suit it more. Just my thoughts... |

In the pkm files of WC3, there's a few like army_panzer or other stuff. Then next to it are xml files. These xml files contain coordinates of the textures so they tell how they are placed in game. To find which one to place, know what you want to replace. Then, use google translate. Copy and paste Chinese characters from the xml to determine what each part is coordinates for what. When you find the coordinates for the texture you wish to replace, type the backup coordinates somewhere for you to remember. Now, erase the textures of the unit you want to replace. Make sure it fits. Afterwards, input all necessary information into the xml. The xml part will ask for the x and y coordinates. It will also ask for height and width (calculation for those are easy, will explain later if necessaru). Go place it into your apk through Winrar. Don't forget to build apk. And that's kinda all. If you still don't understand, just tell me. I am in a rush while writing this. |
