Creating mods - how to

[Guest deleted@210880]

Hi, I have some experience in modding other games, but am a bit confused by what I see here; is the process the same as for other games, e.g. find the (image) file, alter it, set up the mod folder/path and install with JSGME.

 

I'm only asking because when I've looked at some of the icon mods they have a path to somewhere that is empty/non-existant in my normal unmodded game:

 

\data\swf\cache\il2

 

my data\swf only has 'extensions' and 'il2' in it?

 

Another mod uses \data\graphics\fonts yet I have no fonts folder in there at all?

 

Can anyone help my understanding please?

 

Thanks.

You have to unpack the game's archives (.gtp) to see certain folders. There's a tool for that online, called un-gtp or so.

Excellent, thanks.

 

Merged:

 

Hmm are there any instructions anywhere (where to install, example syntax of extracting a file?)

 

Figured it out now I think.

Rowdyboot....is is feasible to copy a texture  from another game such as DCS for example and transfer it to IL2 and visa versa?
