Modding Noob needs help!

***Marine Captain*** · March 18th, 2008

I have a few questions I would like answered please. I have the DC MOD tools pack from Relic. I can make MP maps easily, and they work. I can create the folders for a new mod but:

1. I make changes in the attribute editor, I then save them, I save them twice, I save the binary. When I then load my Mod, the changes have not been made. I tried to change the damage done by stealthsuits. The old damage value showed up in game, and despite sending their new damage value through the roof (about 100; just to test if it worked), it still took too long to kill anyone. What have I done wrong?

2. How do you create a SP campaign in DC? More to the point, how do you set mission objectives for a scenario, and how can you create computer-controlled units (wer'e talking origional DOW type scenarios here)

3. How do you add new weapon options to units, like adding Meltaguns to SM tactical squads.

If you answer these questions, can you please explain in detail how you do them, as I am not too familiar with how to use the software, or what different file types are.

i can only answer the third question you can give them that weapon but you need to model that unit with an metagun
to upgrade it with a metagun

-1: Are you running Vanilla DOW? have you changed to your mod in the Game Manager? that could be a problem. then again, im guessing

Currently impossible. A few people are working on a workaround though.

Thanks Wraithcat.

still, any ideas why the changes do not apply to my Mod after I use the attribute editor? I am selecting my Mod on the game manager.
