Ok, so i have the game, (no this is not a i have the game topic)

And i played the campaign for a hour or 2, the problem is,

I cant find where the save games are stored,

I cant seem to extract the xml files to edit some stuff

And i thought there was a map editor included? or am i wrong?

I read that the map editor is supposed to be released about a month after the game.

I'm sure you have one, but just in case, do you have a .meg extractor?

i tried the 1 that is given, but it doesnt work with the full game

That's wierd. The meg files must be somehow different in the full game, though I'm not sure why that would be...guess my modding's on hold for a while.

i am sure someone wil come up with a solution... the worst case is that you have to edit in wordpad..

You can't edit a meg file though. You need an extractor to retrieve the xml, etc. files archived inside the meg files. I don't get why the meg extractor wouldn't work (since the only requirement is that the target file is a meg file). Unless maybe the final encode is different from the demo encode...

They might of turned the compression up in the demo to make it smaller to download.

the Extractor should work, a friend and I have successfully extracted the XMLs so that we could edit them to be more cannon.

then why doesnt it work with me?i says cant find then the path where you intsalled the demo... it says that clearly

Yep. Thats it. Same here.

i think i solved it, i cut the demo into a new folder : demo

and that was the caus. i am not sure if the files that are extraced are from the demo or full game... weird..

you will know if you have the right files if it has the campaign hints and other stuff like that with it... I believe.  My friend and I sucessfully extracted the files with the Demo Extractor, and it worked fine.

EDIT: Put the extractor in the root folder of the main game, that should solve any problems you are having.

 

DOUBLE EDIT: it is the extractor that is given to you in the demomodtools on EAWfiles, I really hope this helps... it extracts the files into datafiles/data/config when you extract the XMLs, so just copy all of them and start the XML folder, or I think its possible to just use that folder as your directory, I hope this helps and that I did not offend anyone.

first of all, sorry for the double post,

 

and second here are some screenshots of what I did, in the process of doing it:

Now these files do work, they just look different from the modded versions of the demo that use an XML file, which you could still use, just get rid of the data%xml%hardpoints.xml or whichever file you are editing and put them in a data\xml folder.

i figured it out at the end thx for the help anyway
