HowTo: Set up MTW2 for modding

[mmarekk11]

Of course 1. MAfiano i rename to right Mafiano and still didnt change in game.

[mmarekk11]

I renamed it in mymod/data/imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt and in backup/data/text/imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt .In which folder of this two do i have to rename it?


And can i edit my post on this forum?Because if i forget to write something i always must write a new post and cant edit previous.

Junior members can't edit their posts.
Anyways, try just to change the right hand part of the settlement names, this is the part that actually holds the screen name. The left hand part is the internal name, if you want to change that, you have to change a few more files (not exactly sure which).
You should also make sure to check the system.log.txt file in your MTW2/logs directory.

Yes I changed it. But i made one more mistake befere.Before i could start the campaign(already in game).But i didnt copy mymode.cfg to main M2TW folder but to mymode folder. Now i copied it to main and when in game click on GRAND CAMPAIGN it shows me: PLEASE SELECT AN ITEM FROM THE LIST.

And could i change and apply textures (when i chose way of MOD FOLDERS) if i write to mymod.cfg also [io]
file_first = true

If not,is it able to change and apply textures in way of creating MOD FOLDERS?
And pls answer my previous question too.But i could do a mistake somewhere too so i check it one more time.

You need the world/maps/base and world/maps/campaigns/imperial_campaign folders from the data folder.

And if you want to use file_first you need to put the files into your mtw2/data dir, they won't be used from the mod folder.
