Making changes
You can now make changes in the INI files as usual. For instructions on that, check out other tutorials.

There is a small difference, and that is the file gamedata.ini. Because the engine does not properly read gamedata.ini when using the -mod command, the location of this data is different in the prepared INI packages. Macros (unit health, damage, buildcost, etc) can be found and edited in data\ini\_gamedata.inc (for BFME 2) or data\ini\default\water.ini (for BFME). Generic game data (like command point limits) can be edited in data\ini\object\gamedata.ini.

I'm having trouble with the preconverted INIs! I downloaded them but can't extract them I keep getting errors. What should I do??

--------

Alright now I got the INI files open through WinRAR, but I can't create a shortcut. I would really appreciate some help, either here or in my topic...

You wont need a licence for WinRAR, after the trial you'll get a message asking you to buy it, but it still works as normal.

Will FinalBIG editor work because I downloaded it but can't open, or is there another way besides Winrar?? What if I simply copy my ROTWK ini?? Or is Winrar the only way, and will you have to get a license to use it??

The .rar file you mean? Winrar is the program you should use for that.

when downloading the INI what program should i use to open it. it seems to come out as different shapes/letters/numbers

Do you edit the new ini "configuration settings" files that you get in the mod folder, or edit the regular .ini? The new files you get in the folder are hard to read...

Well... when i get to step 3 i get a game.dat, but it doesnt display a reason, it just crashes.
