THE RISE OF LEGENDS MODIFICATIONS QUESTION AND ANSWER THREAD AND FAQ

I noticed (almost everyone has) there is a Q&A thread in the other Heavengames forums so I decided to create one here so please start posting your questions about modding. I also have listed some modding and scripting tutorials or kits to get you started. Also please try and check the previous questions to see if your question has already been answered.

  • Scripting Kit
  • Custom Tribe Kit

    Also if you have a question about scenario or cinematics editing please post those questions in this Scenario Q & A Thread and not here

    Now blast those questions away from your mind

    Questions Asked Already...
    Q: How do I get files I can mod?
    A: You need your game to be patched first, then go into your root Rise of Legends Directory (usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise Of Legends), and run the Modpack.exe file. Go into your Data folder (usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise Of Legends\Data) and there is some XML Files to modify.

    Q: How do I install mods I've downloaded?
    A: Simply Copy and paste the XML files into your Rise of Legends Data folder (usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise Of Legends\Data).

    Q: Can I make my modifications for Multiplayer?
    A: Not really at present, though there is limited capability described in this thread. Otherwise modding is singleplayer only.

    this isnt a reply, but CAN SOMEONE PLZ TELL ME WHERE 2 FIND MODPACK.EXE???
    posted 04-17-08 04:02 PM EDT (US)     29 / 37  
    I've searched high and low and it seems it has been widthdrawn so it's not available online anymore. Maybe if you have luck and find someone who has a copy on his computer.

    I probably have it on my other computer. Was it the file that shipped with the first demo or something different?

    Knowing my luck, I made it, but... what is Modpack.exe? It's vaguely possible if I did I could reclaim it from my quick formatted hard drive.

    As far as I get it, it's a program for installing a mod into RoL so it gets playable.

    I really don't know. When searching the net you can find hints about a Modpack.exe for RoL but the only link to it I've found was non-functional.

    I've thought back, and I reckon that Modpack.exe was a file that came in one of the RoL Patches. If you download all those patches, you should find it somewhere in your RoL Program Files folder. Run it, and you should have some moddability.

    EDIT: Found this, from my post a year and a half ago:
    "Run Modpack.exe in your main RoL Folder when the game's been patched at least once."

    EDIT2: I'm blind - see top of thread:
    Q: How do I get files I can mod?
    A: You need your game to be patched first, then go into your root Rise of Legends Directory (usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise Of Legends), and run the Modpack.exe file. Go into your Data folder (usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise Of Legends\Data) and there is some XML Files to modify.

    If Greypawn hadn't left for EA, we could ask him...

    I'd email Tim but something tells me cuotl_crusher has long since gone.

    Hello, people, I'm new to this forum, so allow me to introduce myself, I am the Uacher, I really enjoy playing RTS's.

    I have a question regarding editing the unitrules.xml files. Is it possible to add a carrying capacity to some units by editing the CARRY SIZE values or CARRY? or is it only possible with the original carrier units?

    Thanks for the help in advance.

    May our armies clash their arms with honor, and may the victor honor his opponent with respect.
