Mr.Crisp Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I tried to get the Dark Trooper to work in reg empire at war... But it just crashes. But Mike you said the XML files won't work unless its meg... won't this mean patches will be... "Mod killers"? http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a105/333Super/Maul.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike.nl Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Yes I did say that. But that will probably just be the case for the demo. Seems like they learned some sort of lesson from the EaW demo and don't want people modding this demo and unlock, say, the droideka. Well, they're going to have to try harder than this  And I suspect the reason the dark trooper crashes in EaW is because of the different animation format. EaW can't handle FoC's animation files. So the FoC animation files have to be converted to EaW's animation file format before they'll work (if at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfox1 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 And any idea how to do it? I can get pretty much any program that I need to change the type, but I'm not sure how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowtrooper Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 So then, is there anyway to unlock more stuff like we did in the original demo? ???

Shadowtrooper Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I did but I was kinda confused. Should I be using a MEG extracor like some did, or a hex editor like others did?

Kelathin Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 somehow I highly doubt it. : I didn't know about extracting megs for a while, often people start with pre extracted xml files from other mods. So unless you start at the beginning you wouldn't know http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n36/DarkEmpireSPG/kelathin2.jpgI shall Name him MiniMe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swgbex Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 yeah.. and i wonder how the vanilla EAW will interact with the expansion ..seeing as expansions require the originals -.- http://www.swgbex.com/sig.jpgHehe IA 2 venator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonShadow Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 well, I imagine that it'll probably have some changes to the exe and stuff in addition to changes in other files...my assumption is that EaW mods won't be compatible with FoC...then again, maybe the FoC files will be segregated in some way to allow for EaW mods to still work within FoC or something, idk... http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h65/NightshadowDragon/RyuuKageSIG.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h65/NightshadowDragon/AoSW-JCW_Banner.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droid803 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 1 I doubt there is hidden stuff2 I doubt we could edit the campaign3 I doubt we can change the saving/loading. Its part of the exe. my own questions: Can I rip ships out of models.meg and textures.meg, stick them in EaW and have them work?

Meethos Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 There is a mod for the FOC demo over at the lucasforums that you can check out here: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=171364. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonShadow Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 No, because it seems the animations and shaders format are different. I have to disagree. As an experiment I replaced all the EaW shaders with the ones from the FoC demo, and it ran just fine. I've also added the models and textures, both ran fine. I'm testing some animations now... Edit: ok, it's definite: the FoC anims are different. everything else is fine. http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h65/NightshadowDragon/RyuuKageSIG.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h65/NightshadowDragon/AoSW-JCW_Banner.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droid803 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 YES! But what do you mean by "replaced all the shaders"? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/droid803sig.jpg"That was fun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonShadow Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) I mean I copied them of the FoC demo and put them in the EaW folder. btw, models work just fine... http://www.agesofstarwars.com/pcw/images/gallery/3/EAW_20061007_16513895%20copy.jpg I believe that purple aura has something to do with the cloaking ability, but I'm not sure...

Droid803 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 How come just directly copying it over causes an exception for me...can you tell me what you did to get the Vengeance to work? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/droid803sig.jpg"That was fun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonShadow Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 don't put the ALA files in your EaW folder. only the ALO files. http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h65/NightshadowDragon/RyuuKageSIG.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h65/NightshadowDragon/AoSW-JCW_Banner.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
