This file is intended for experienced mod makers and is provided 'as is', with yada yada disclaimer about how modifying the game may break it and force you re-install.

Don't think anyone has ever really printed a quide for this, even a rude set of guidelines to go by for that matter.

Back up the weapons.txt file, then tinker around with it in xcel.

Has ANYONE even yet dared to manipulate weapns yet in PiTF? Possible take some settings from WAR/TLD, or one of those release mods and see how they perform.

It's still all trial and error for those who do and I am not generally one of them

In general, you grab the data workbook, review the column headers to see what the data values mean, and try tweaking some. When you have a new file you want, you backup the old one and then cut & paste the contents (without the column headers) into the text data file and see how it works.

There is no official guide to modding the game. However, there are people in the community who have been doing it for years. If you have specific questions, you can probably get an answer.

Status: offline 		@johnsilver I posted a small weapon/element mod I called it "Real Close" among other things it reduces the fire distance of weapons to 200mts and their effectiveness.

It's around here on this sub-forum somewhere or over at closecombatseries.net

edit: here's the link http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3382068

Status: offline 		Thanks for this great tool.

I use it for modding LSA, but some features don't work for older cc versions (LSA).
Unpacking and directly repacking (without changing anything) the shadows.azp file and the terrain file seem to work but if these files are put back into the graphics folder the game crashes when loading the map.

CCMunger does work on the gadget files, *.pix file, guns.azp and tanks.azp of LSA.

If the tool could be updated to work for the older CC versions it would be much appreciated.

Aetius

Status: offline 		Unpacking of Pitf effects.azp file doesn't work.
The effect graphic is shown but when you try to unpack, error message "could not create AZPDATA.txt
It als doesn't work for LSA effects.azp

Unpacking the *.azp files can be done with tools by Mafi but unpacking the *.fx files remains a hassle.
The only tool available now is the ccfx tool wich is hard to get working on windows 10.


If this feature could be fixed for Pitf and LSA it would be a big help.

Status: offline 		I just tested the EXE linked above with PitF effects.azp and did not get the error you mentioned. I used 'Fx File' 'Open...' and then 'FX File' 'Extract.' If it can't write AZPDATA.TXT then I would check for an existing AZPDATA.TXT that is read-only or open by another program.

EDIT: There does seem to be something weird going on with the current directory being reset to the location of CCMunger.EXE. Try moving the EXE into the same directory as the AZP file you want to unpack and run it from there. I suspect this is Windows 10 'helping...'

Maybe extra software is needed for this feature to work?
