You don't. It sorta replaces the game.

Open the map.txt file in the Scripts folder and change the land number in two places to point at your map.Then create a new profile and start a new game.

One last question after all this is done:

How do I add the map into the game to play?

With a bit of trial and error you should be able to figure the rest out. It's very similar to how it's done in game.

When you start scripting the land. I've just finished putting a series of scripts together to create a .chl file which should work on most landscapes. I've included all of the script files so it can be used as a base to write more scripts onto.

I've already read that before I posted here, that only teaches landscaping and such.

And thanks for the script tutorials. I'll use them when I get the basic designing done.

Hi, using the editor isn't that difficult. Here's a link to a tutorial I put together.It doesn't cover walls but they are quite easy to add

For script compiling, there is a thread in this forum, but it got mucked up when they changed message boards.We do have a number of scripts listed which should get you started.

I'm looking for many things really, which are:

City building

Roads

Walls

Scripts (for AI for opposing cities and missions)

Basically advanced techniques.

I may think up more when I come across more problems.

Well hello to all, this is my first post in the Lionhead Community and I've come with some questions I really need answered.

I'm an aspiring modder, having just downloaded the Official B&W 2 Modding Tools and wanting to make new maps since I beat the game. Problem is, I have no idea what to do. I recently read a tutorial on how to shape land and add textures to it which I don't have a problem with now. My problem I'm having is how to set up scripts, enemy towns with AI, setting up walls and roads, premaking enemy cities and also setting it so I can play it in the game.

Does anyone know how to do this and can give step-by-step instructions or know any tutorials you can link me to? Thanks in advance.
