How to Edit The Player Template.xml?

guest · Guest

I've been looking all over for a way to edit the Housecolors of the three factions in the campaign missions. Is there any way to make the changes in this code? Please. Any help will be much appreciated. I really want to play the campaign missions using custom HouseColors.

You have to edit the campaign maps with the Worldbuilder to change the colors.

Extract them from the BIG files in your RA3\Data folder.

Excuse me for being soo noob but i'm just startin to mod RA3. What tools do i need to extract the maps?

guest · Guest

ok. so i've extracted the maps edited the player colors and launched RA3. Problem now is that the maps are now playeable only in skirmish mode and it always goes to mission failed at the very start. How can i play the edited campaign maps in campaign mode?

Put the maps (just the *.map files) to "data\maps\official\[map name]" or put them into a BIG file with the same directory structure.
