I have made a series of 20 new castles for my WoT mod, but I am unsure as to how to add the new bufs I have made for them so that they work.
I have seen it done in mods such as HTW, but I've no idea how to do it myself.

Hi,
use the Gnome Editor and have a look at the Viking build prod file. There you can see that the castle upgrades have these entries (Point 9 - Strategy Map Piece Filename):
"warrior hold, stockade, fortified village, Fort, Fort, Fort, Keep, Keep, Keep"
The info pics for each upgrade are defined this way (Point 8 - Strategy map infopic filename):
"warriors hold, stockade, fortified village, Fort, Fort Motte, Fort Motte Bailey, Keep, Keep Curtainwall, Keep Curtainwall Ballista"
Upgrade: Fort Motte
Strategy Map Piece: Fort
Info Pic: Fort Motte
You'll have to place your bufs in the folder campmap\pieces\buildings.
There must be an entry (or a blank space) for each upgrade in each column (name, costs, build time...) of the build prod file.

I've already done this. I mean how to make the actual bufs work (I get an error). Thx
First, there is a limit of 8 strategic castle pieces that you can have. So those 20 new castles that you made need to share pieces, you can't make them all individual.
For making a BUF, did you try using the CA tool, Buffy the Bif Slayer? It should work with that.
Good luck,

DAMN!
:
I didn't know that!![]()
Does that mean they have to replace existing ones?![]()
Oh well I'll manage. It will have to work like this:
Pieces:
1 Villiages
2 Towns up to fortified town will have another piece.
3 Walled town onwards will have another piece
4 Then towns with two walls
5 Then all other Towns
6 Cities
7 Cities with outer city walls
8 Fortress
That is the most anoying piece of news I've had in a while.
Could I have a link to that editor?
There you go: CA BIF BUF Utilities
And I understand how you feel. It was for the ME:TW team also a setback to hear that. We wanted to include alot more famous castles, but alas.
