Editor (Warlock 2: The Exiled)
In-game editor thing is certainly interesting, but somewhat unclear. Not everything is obvious. To many had to walk for a few days of experiments. But there is one fundamentally important question which I can not understand. Can someone tell me why my building can only be built in the capital and my other cities can't? A lot of buildings that I created in one city does not fit - too much time on development required - the faster the game will end, it will all be built. As in other cities, these buildings are not built why is there just a standard stand.Thanks in advance for your answer.

If you create a race based on an existing, automatically creates a new city for this race:
1. Capital - it's the starting city, the capital.
2. Province - if the settler uses the function to build a city, he builds the province, they created a few for randomness, we are interested in is in the list of starting structures which only one farm.
3. Special - a province can be converted into a city (a free city, the city dedicated to the deity of the walled city).
Of the above possible conclusion meaning: if you create a race and select the building which will be available for her, for that would have these facilities it was possible to build in other cities of the same race it is imperative that the city had hired a settler which will have the ability to found a city need races (province).
So you need:
1. To create a race, set, etc..
2. To create the ability, the ability to found a city need races (province).
3. To create a settler, to give it this ability to classify it to this race.
If I failed to answer the question, it is necessary to clarify, for me, probably not clearly enough formulated.
I know that a set of racial constructions on the basis of this thought: if there is no opportunity in the province to build a building in the capital of the province added to the great race from the capital.

Well, finally at least someone responded.:))) I've even scored on ethno matter, understood - not to overpower. confetin - thanks for the help:))))
Well, now on topic.
In it, that is, in this thread, I understood well enough, if not completely. But there is a catch. But about all under the order. I turned the Internet and found on off-the forum of the game the person with the same problem. A man created a race, rivet of new buildings and units, but see them available for building only in the capital. When it builds a settler creates a new city of the SAME races they created, there are absolutely standard of the building race based on which he created his race. Advise him what you advised:
1. To create a race, set, etc..
2. To create the ability, the ability to found a city need races (province).
3. To create a settler, to give it this ability to classify it to this race.
I did everything the same, and was about to shout Eureka, but then came a major bummer. When the game is loaded for the chosen race, the game constantly crash. Run not want in any, as I didn't jump with a tambourine. I went back to the forum in the same topic. Is this really some bug of the game, and can only be corrected podredaktirovat some file handles. But the problem is that to edit them you need an extractor in order to extract them from some tricky files. It (the extractor) is off-site forum.paradoxplaza.com but to get it from there only saruhashi your license... but if you have pirates, alas, there the way is open.
That's the story. And like know how to fix, and without the extractor to do or what not can.
confetin if you have litsuha, you can get this malicious extractor their forum??? I would be very grateful.:)))
PS Tried to open other extractors, nothing comes out, although some in the same forum say that you can. But to access these materials again need an account on their forum.

Information on unpacking game archives, decrypting game files: Warlock2 the Exiled Advanced Modding – from page 21 onwards. Reference: http://www.playground.ru/files/warlock_2_the_exiled_rukovodstvo_po_modostroeniyu-79856/
Manual in English, for translation do online transfer. Besides, on the off-forum you can find additional information in English.
From myself:
Concept: to create a very carefully, because in the editing process it is possible to make errors in the mod files. Perhaps because of this, the map will not load from the list of cards in the game or in the editor the map will not load for amending it. Mistakes are possible and if that happens, we need the willingness to create a mod from scratch. For this I recommend to write the "concept of fashion" for example in the form of a list of the changes. This will simplify the process of creating fashion from scratch, because in case of error will have to start again.
Not all at once: in my experience, the process of creating the best cards to come after all modifications in the modification. That is, in the first place to create buildings, units, spells, etc.. then put the city and the troops on the map, etc.. But this is the ideal, when fully thought out concept. If the concept is created "on the fly", and it turns out that the first amended modification, then the map is drawn, then again changes to a modification, etc. then there must be more to do backup. If you make all scheduled changes to the mod, there is a possibility that it will not work, so better work to divide the concept into parts and accomplish in stages. To do some part – backup part – still a backup.
For me, the time spent "drawing" exceeds the time spent on "modification", this is for me the using the concept to make changes to the modification, then draw a card.
Backup: I am not making all the planned changes to the mod directly, do it gradually, try to often to do a backup.
In the directory Mods are mod files. In my case, this file m76561197960270647_1412329345.info and catalog of the same name. I'm just doing a backup. That is, make some changes, then check "if it works" as follows:
1. Load the map in the editor, just load up and go to the menu.
2. Download the map from the list of cards in the game, just download and go.
3. If the card is loaded in the editor and in the game, leave the game, go to the Mods directory, create the archive, which include the mod file and the directory of this mod, in my case file m76561197960270647_1412329345.info and catalog m76561197960270647_1412329345. The name of the archive write Modsтекущаядатаивремя, for example Mods0910141935.
So I get a backup copy of the working mod.
In this example, is implemented is not all that is needed, but if in the process of editing the game crash, I just unpack the backup and replacing the mod files from the previous version and continue to edit so there wasn't an error. In the editor there are some parameters that lead to paint, so I don't use them.
In any case, to create fashion helps me the concept, if you have to start from scratch. And backup if the game worse.
The result:
1. Concept.
2. Backup.
3. Not all at once.:)
Again, for experiments with unknown parameters you can create a separate mod for testing to verify the changes and if everything is in order, to make similar changes to the main mod.
Utilities are located in the game directory called: Squeezer.exe, TXMLConvert_Final.exe, XRconvert_Final.exe. Work through the Windows command prompt. Learn more about them here: http://www.playground.ru/files/warlock_2_the_exiled_rukovodstvo_po_modostroeniyu-79856/
And on the off-forum, complete list of utilities in the same place.
Thank you, I will understand. True me fashion is not interested, only skirmish my race. But thanks anyway.:)))

Setting, setting, the building will be possible to build only in the capital – capital.
Editor races: race > tree construction some sort of race, to access any building, such as a farm. In the section "Unique", there are options of accommodation facilities, for example: none, city, capital.
If you choose the capital structure will probably be possible to place only in the capital.
City – building is in any city in a single copy.
None – no restrictions, the building is located in any city, in any quantity.
But there is one "but" (on the other hand may not be one, because the question is not fully understood), if the building editor a buildings > change\to create, select for example the farm and put a tick in the checkbox "Temple", then how did you manage to see it a certain way affects the "limit" of this building in the same city. Can't say more precisely, the question is not fully understood.
Creating a new building, my attention was attracted by the opportunity to choose the accessory building to the deity in the two editors, editor and editor races > the tree construction. Not clear why this is necessary. And it is not yet clear how to set the value by which to change the attitude of a deity when the building is attached to this deity. Probably this value is not adjustable.
Anyone has problem with sobraniem something in the editor.
I've tried to save at least something ... confused 0.
Plizz tell me what to do
Please tell me, I can not upload a picture for a portrait of the great magician. If you select images option written 400^512, take the picture using paint I bring to the size of 400 to 512 IPC, saved in jpg and png formats. I go into the editor, press replace the portrait you see in the window, select your edited picture, press the frame of the portrait is blank and the game is also empty. Tell me how to do his portrait for the great magician.
In short, if you are in the editor, mods something goes wrong, although according to the stats should be all good, your pirates was made in the wrong place through one place. Downloaded another, all works as a watch.
I know it's an old theme, but maybe someone's going to help me.
The problem is - I wanted to change the appearance of the building to the portal of demons (den). The model from the game took out, the files .xr in .xml with the help of prog converted, but I open the file (viewdata), and it is empty, on top only 2 lines. All other files are also empty, although I created new buildings in the editor, as well as new units. No one's ever seen anything like this?
