oragus Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I am trying to use Dr. Jones' Extractor and am having an issue. Its not reading any thing and displays a error when I hit the quit button. So far I have extracted it to my MissionEditor directory like it said to do. The readme states something about a Config.xml with the sfsPath and extradir. I don't have that. It says to set the Path, that's the path when you open the extractor right, not inside some other file prior to opening it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 AFAIK there must be a text file bundled with the extractor containing list of all files in game sfs archives. Only the files which are in the list will be extracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oragus Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Ok, I got the extractor to work, but came across another problem that the FAQ and readme don't tell you how to do. How do you get your work on skins back into the .sfs files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 You don't need to: if you leave them with proper path in game directory, they override files inside sfs archives. All TOW mods work in this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oragus Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Then why didn't my new skin show up? I put the Germany Polish Campaign markings on a Pz 35(t) and when I went into the game, started a fresh campaign no new skin? BTW Sneaksie, appreciate the help. I am new to Modding ToW. The programs to use to mod this game are also new to. Gotta rememdy that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oudy Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Oragus Head over to http://www.cmmods.com/ and look at the TOW faq I put up a while ago. It is a primer on modding TOW and should have the information you want. Oudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rofl Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Do you replace the default skin or want to use as additional, i.e. SUMMER_3 or something? Appers your skin in the encyclopedia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oragus Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Rofl, that would be cool, I hadn't thought of doing that, but at this point what I was trying to do was to replace summer 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oragus Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Oudy, Got a question for you on your FAQ 1.02. I am going thru it putting in your Pz IVf1 to try to become familiar with modding this game. In section D. Changing the Animation files. You talk about the \Ai\Animattor\Tank.rc file? I don't have that file. All I have are the Animator.rc, artillery.rc and human.rc. No tank.rc? I am missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oudy Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Oragus That may be a file that is in your game directory from when you installed the game and not from the the extractor. If it isn't in your game directory then download the TOW Updated Filelist.txt and use it to extract the additional files. It's been a while and I don't recall off the top of my head where that files comes from. Hope that helps, Oudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oragus Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Yep, that was my problem, working in the backup directory before moving it over. Thanks Oudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oragus Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Ok, I have done everything the FAQ 1.02 said to do. I go into the encyclopedia and there is nothing there, not even the discription. And when I go to the Pz IVf2 and then the F1 it CTDs. ? Any suggestions?
