i'm not very familiar with unit modding but saw many mods hooking more than just the bp files, that's why i assumed you got to replace all the files (i didn't even think you might replace textures aswell, sorry for that)

but as it seems, replacing just the bp file will do

If you only modify the unit bp you only need to copy that unit bp in your mod just put it under yourmod/units/yourunit/yourunit.bp, no need of other files.
Of course include the merge line at the begining of your unit bp and voilà !

If there is script or texture/model editing you need to hook the whole unit files though.

Mod Making Help Pls

2013-01-12T20:34:25+02:00

I'm making a mod that changes and modifies many of the units that already exist. I tried hooking the .bp files and not hooking, but nothing worked. After getting help on the lobby chat (Thanks Washy ;D) I learned I needed ALL the files in the mod. This would mean allot of Copy/Paste and more disc space than in desirable. I know I could also put all the units into one .lua file without needing to hook or including the other files (Script, etc.) but this too would require allot of Copy/Paste, if not more, and also leave me with one LONG .lua file.

So this leads me to my question:

Is there a better way to make a mod that changes many of the units that already exist in the game by just including the .bp files I already have, other than "Blue Printing" them all in a .lua file all crammed together?
