Multiple mods

Hi again

I know this question has been asked but as I know nobody post a solution yet, or not the one that will work.
My main goal is to combine TiberiumEssence mod with my mod for PowerPlant and HandOfNod. So, I am looking for a way to use both mods at the same time.

First I tried with two add-big lines in skudef file, but nothing.
Then I tried to add my mod in Core folder of TW like a patch would be, but that attempt ended in crashing the game. For this the files in *.big mod are all named static_common and static_common_l.

Is there a soluton for running two (or more) mods at the same time, or is there a tutorial on how to build and install a mod as a patch for TibWars (so I can run one mod as a patch and another in the usual way)

You need to put all files of both mods in a new mod. Because you have to encrypt/compile it, this can't be done, as you will be missing all TE codes.

There is no encryption whatsoever in any of the files. You could build a patch but I don't think the original EA tools would work for you there.

I assume, however, that you'd need to iron out any adverse interactions between the files from the two mods? If your Powerplant mod overwrites or contradicts parts of TE then you'll need to bash the code to fit.

Yup, each asset can only be patched as a whole.

damn, why did EA had to make it difficult.
It must be that, TE modifies both nod powerplant and hand of nod.
I don't know what to try next...

Thanks for the info...

I more meant that while you can access both mods assets (models, textures, sounds) in a way (I know how, but won't tell), and merge those in a mod, you can't access the codes used in the mods, as those are compiled.

I could do it too, it's quite easy. But I won't write a tutorial on hex editing that stuff together or on using Bibbers tools when there is no reason for it. And you can access the codes if you have a program for it. WrathEd does that for KW.
