Where to start?

[angola]

Hi guys,

I'm new to everything and still playing the demo (need a new pc before I hit the full campaign!) but I'm sure I can learn a lot from playing around in the demo scenarios etc.

I've looked but haven't seen a thread that groups all the starting points - brief introduction to editing the source files, any tools that are available etc. Can anybody point me to where I might find this info?

I'm also looking for a source that lists the stats for all of the unit elements in the game; move, atk, def, police etc. I'm no CW buff so my only idea of which units are best at what is in the stats (and I can't view them in the game until I've built the units!)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Okay... I just found everything in the "Modding AGEOD games." Five visits and I've never passed through there before!

Would still love to know about the element stats though. And any general advice for getting started.

Thanks

Okay, sorry. I found the answer to the first question on the modding home page - I have always come here through the AACW page so never it saw it before.

I found the answer to the second question in the AACW_DB_Models38.xls file.

So I'm all sorted.

As you were...

Hi again...

Looking through documentation I read that I needed the scenario editor to compile .scn files from the csv's.

So I downloaded the game from the AACW site. Guess what? No editor...

Do I need the editor or is there a workaround? If I do need it, can somebody tell me where I can dl it from.

Thanks fellas.

Thanks very much Grey Lensman.

I'd figured out the csv format, but this info will very helpful, and save me hours scouting around... I'm off to press F9 right away Thanks again.
