GUIDE: Specifics of Modding Alexander - TW

**Aradan** · 02-07-2008, 21:28

For example:

Code:

faction	egypt, trader mao
ai_do_not_attack_faction gauls, scythia, pontus
denari	20000

The command is supposed to halt a faction from attacking other(s) until attacked, but afaik an attack can still happen, due to the hardcoded mechanism the AI uses to choose enemies...

How do you change the movie that plays behind the menu? I know its the "dump0000" file, and I've tried changing it, but it always overlooks the one I add and uses the vanilla RTW movie.

*If* it can be done, then you should probably put it in the mod pak. if it doesn't work from there (which I think will be the case) then you just can't have both yours and the vanilla one and you'll have to go with -nm. Otherwise you can mod the .lnt.

It can be done, it was done in LOTR-TW which is on alexander.

My bad, sorry. Yes indeed, LotRTW has its own dump0000, in its own menu folder.

They make a copy of vanillas and overwrite the vanilla with their own though.

**comrade_general** · 02-22-2008, 21:38

isnt that the opening movie youre talking about roman_man#3?
i was talking about the looped movie clip that plays on the main menu, unless thats what you meant then disregard this

It still happens and it happens a lot. This code is useless.
