About BWE Scripting
Location
\data\landscape\BW2
You can edit the BWE files in this directory by opening them with notepad or some other .txt viewing program.
Here you can edit what people you start with :
CREATE_VILLAGER_POS("867.77,705.79", "867.77,705.79", "GREEK_HOUSEWIFE", 23)
- By changing "GREEK_HOUSEWIFE" to "JAPANESE_HOUSEWIFE" or NORSE, AZTEC, or INDIGENOUS appropriately you can begin with Japanese, Norse, Aztec or Egyptian people.
- The last number (shown here as 23) is the starting age of this person.
- The first two sets of numbers (shown here as "867.77,705.79", "867.77,705.79") are the co-ordinates on the map that this person starts, they are always the same, dunno why.
- Note: This can be found after the Town Centre placement of the town you want the people to belong to, somewhere before the tree placements in the text, the top half.
Ore Mine Values:
CREATE_ORE_LODE("780.92,867.86", "Ore Lode Normal", 488, 1000, 5000.000000)
- The Last number *could* be the amount of ore in the mine. To Change an ore mine to a bottomless mine replace "Ore Lode Normal" with "Ore Lode Infinite".
- Once again the first number is the co-ordinates of this object on the map.
- Note: This can be found after the tree placements in all the scripts, near the bottom of the text.
In order to play these alternate maps, start a new game or just get on to the level you altered by going through the game normally. Hope this helps some people to have fun playing the game again with more ore or with a different tribe. Will add more to this later.
- BACK UP ALL YOUR .BWE FILES BEFORE YOU START ALTERING THEM!
Town Names
To give your towns valid names you have to edit the bwe file located in: "\Data\landscape\BW2\"
Use notepad or a similar txt editor.
Add the following code in an appropriate place.
SET_TOWN_NAME(int, string)
int: This is the number of the town. The first town you create in the editor will be Town 0.
string: This is a database reference. You can use Dero's LHTS editor to open the lhts file located in the compiler directory.
An example could look like this:
SET_TOWN_NAME(0, "BW2T_PLACENAMES_NORSECITY_16")
That will set the name of Town 0 to "Darromire".
Here's a list of some town names from the database.
BW2T_PLACENAMES_AZTECCITY_1::Tacuaba BW2T_PLACENAMES_AZTECCITY_2::Tezopan BW2T_PLACENAMES_AZTECCITY_3::Queza BW2T_PLACENAMES_AZTECCITY_4::Tralihac BW2T_PLACENAMES_AZTECCITY_5::Huatican
