Hey guys,
Since some of the CoW players have been wishing to make two CoW folders to play more than one sub-mod, I'm here to show you guys how.
STEP 1
-Download CoW and install all necessary fixes. Keep this folder as an unmodified backup so that way if you try a sub-mod and you don't like it or you messed something up terribly, you have the vanilla folder with clean files to rely upon
STEP 2
-Copy the CoW folder and rename it to whatever you like. It can be "Call_of_My_Little_Pony" if you'd like it to be*.
STEP 3
-Open the new folder. It should have all of the files your original CoW folder had before the copy process. You should see a "warhammer.bat" and a "warhammer.cfg" in the folder (NOT in the data folder, though).
STEP 4
-Open the "warhammer.cfg" file with any text editing program, preferably Notepad or Notepad++. You will see a section that looks like this:
Code:
[features]
;editor = true
mod = mods/Call_of_Warhammer
change the red phrase to have the same name as your new folder. We'll use the "Call_of_My_Little_Pony" example for the sake of consitency.
Code:
[features]
;editor = true
mod = mods/Call_of_My_Little_Pony
Save your changes and exit Notepad.
STEP 5
-Right-click on your "warhammer.bat" file and select "EDIT." This will bring up a text window that should look something like this:
Code:
del /Q ".\data\text\*.bin"
del /Q ".\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\*.rwm"
cd "..\.."
start kingdoms.exe @mods\Call_of_Warhammer\warhammer.cfg
Once again, change the red to have the same file name as your new folder
Code:
del /Q ".\data\text\*.bin"
del /Q ".\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\*.rwm"
cd "..\.."
start kingdoms.exe @mods\Call_of_My_Little_Pony\warhammer.cfg
Save your changes and exit Notepad.
STEP 6
-Play with your new mod folder and have fun
*NOTE: I strongly advise new folder names to have underscores "_" instead of spaces " ". This will reduce any errors that spaces " " may cause.
