Hey The Swordsmaster. Welcome to the forum?

What don't you understand? Some questions:
Do you want to know how to use it or what it is for?
Do you have 3DS Max modelling program?

**The Swordmaster** · 04-02-2005, 13:24

I have figured out now, but it was how to use it in 3dsmax 7

...and thanks for the welcome

Hi, i have a problem with the Trait Editor, when i chosse the export_descripction_character_traits in browse menu the Trait Editor will close, please can someone help me?

P.S

sorry my english.

**Makanyane** · 04-02-2007, 22:01

I just downloaded it and it doesn't close when I load file, so not sure. Are you loading file you have already modded? and what version of RTW are you working on?

If you are just starting out modding, I would recommend making back up copy of all your files, looking at tutorials and learning what to alter by hand, rather than trying to use editor. Editors don't work like magic and in some of them it is possible to make mistakes you then don't have knowledge to trace. (no offence to tool makers

)

If you can't get this working and want to make a specific change to a trait, post thread explaining what you are trying to do here.

Um... Guys...

... I can't get any of the Lordz tools, or the settlement editor, or the cas importer/exporteer to download...

Any help with the bugged links would be hugely appreciated...

**Ibn-Khaldun** · 01-25-2008, 22:47

Jubal_Barca .. I think I read somewhere that the Lordz site is down and perhapse you can't download there tools because of that ... but I am not sure ..

Anyway .. I also had some troubles when I wanted to download some tools .. I got Galigulas unit editor but the trait editors link doesn't work

Hope that someone could update those links .. I reallly want some of those tools

I am making a plugin that understands Rome remastered files and coan provide useful features, such as:

Syntax highlighting
Syntax error marking
Go to definition / find usages of items (e.g. find all usages of a unit)
Autocompletion (e.g after require resource, provide a list all all resources)
Mass rename related items
Code folding
Various sanity checks
etch.

A preview of my work is here:

This is a call for people to help, mainly with giving me info about how things are meant to work, mod-wise, so I know what to make the plugin able to do.
