My First Mod

IntroductionEdit

This tutorial will teach you how to create, setup and build your first simple Act Of War MOD.
In this MOD we will change the speed at which Jefferson moves through the world.

Create a new MOD with the official sourcesEdit

With the ModManager, enter 'My First MOD' in the MOD name and click on the Create with official Data button.
The official data files will be create in the game directory.

Alter Jefferson speedEdit

Open source file <GameDirectory>\DataLight\DefaultNDF\Unites\ParametreSemantiques\_zAoW_XX_ParametresSemantiquesUnites_DoNotEdit.ndf

where <GameDirectory> is the name of the directory where the game has been installed.

Around the top of the file, find the code :

 
GROUPE_SEMANTIQUE AOW_TF_Jefferson_SEMANTIQUE
    ...
    MOUVEMENT              = 500
    ...
end

Change this code to :

 
GROUPE_SEMANTIQUE AOW_TF_Jefferson_SEMANTIQUE
    ...
    MOUVEMENT              = 500 * 2
    ...
end

By altering this number, we've told Jefferson to move two times faster than before.

Test the MOD filesEdit

Launch the game with the ModManager by using the Test MOD button.

Package the MOD filesEdit
