Hi, I'm new to these forums, and spend about two days reading all kinds of information about modding ToEE. I have to say, I really like what you have done with the game, so thanks for that. Now that I know about the modding, I went to try some for myself. My goal: Create 2 mw kama called, hidarite and migite (lefthand and righthand). So I tried to do it using sir_toejam's excellent explanation. I opened protos.tab from gamefolder\data\rules using the proto editor. I searched for the masterwork kata, found it at 4605. I copied the line twice, and changed the numbers in column 1 and 23 to 4800 and 4801 for the two seperate kama. These numbers were still free. Next, I opened the desriptions.mes from gamefolder\data\mes and added twolines, 4800 filled with Hidarite and 4801 with Migite. Now when I start up the game, it does not get past the loading screen. It sas something like "unloading old protos.tab" and then locks up. I have to kill the thread. Can anyone give me a pointer as to what I may be doing wrong? I skipped the extracting part of the tutorial, as I think the files are already there? Update: It seems the prototool messes up while saving somehow. After I reload the protos.tab, several fields are now in the wrong column. I'll try a different program. Update2: Now did it with the worldbuilder, seems to work.
