Tutorial - Adding new buildings to the game

[konny]

2. Open export_buildings.txt and add the description lines for the levels of your new building:

{monolith1} The wonderful lunar Monolith!
{monolith1_desc} The lunar Monolith helps people read at night, so they love it. People is very happy to have it in the settlement.
{monolith1_short_desc} The lunar Monolith makes people happy.

It is:

{monolith1_desc_short}

Hi, I hope there are still some modders here who might help me. I have done everything what you did, but I have some errors.

First of all, I work in a modfolder. I have done every step, I have included anything etc.
I copied the descr_items.txt from the vanilla game, and added my include.
But there is one error when I start the game for making the descr_items.db :



When I wanted to solve it, I missed the di_*_.txt files from the vanilla descr_items folder. So the game can't find this includes.


[PROBLEM 2]
I searched in my lotrtw folder, and unpacked the descr_items.txt. That file seems to be full of all buildings. I pasted it in my modfolder, included my own buildings, and started the game. It creates the descr_items.db now, but when I try to view the settlements, I got tons of error. Only my own buildings are shown now, but all vanilla buildings are missing.

The game gives the error that it can't find the .cas building model. Yes i don't have those building models in my modfolder, but the game needs to load it from the vanilla data folder...

I am very confused now :(


Note: There seems to be a DB editor from vercingetorix. But I can't find that tool anymore because the download links are down. Can someone send me the tool please?
