Title: Skirmish map mod
Post by: Ommalley on September 17, 2018, 02:02:40 pm
90% of the times I play this game I end up playing Boneyard (classic 8 players) map on skirmish. It's hands down my favourite.
But I'd like to try this same map with different Places of Power. Is this possible? I've tried looking for the .wor in game files but I couldn't find anything.

Thanks

Normally no, but you can use this tool to unpack the Levels.H20 file in the Archives folder.

You might need some DLL files too.

And then you should rename the modified map in its level properties (you do this inside the World Editor), so you can distinguish the two maps in the game menu.

Tried, but failed. I even installed Visual Studio, but keeps asking for that .dll
That sucks, I really wanted to modify Boneyard...

You need to install the correct version of Visual Studio, which i think was VS 2012.

I think I've already sent you everything you need in a private message... check your messages inbox  :)

For everyone else having this problem, get the attached DLLs in the download button of this reply. Put them in the same folder as the tools, and it will work!
