Hello Darkworld,
this is quite easy to do.

1. COMMANDERS
to enable commanders you go to your .win file. In there, there are "permitted_categories" to enable commanders you just add there:

Code

+ commander

if that's not there already.

2. 700 POPCAP
now you need to go to your .scar file. In here you add under imorts:

Code

local function PopCap_OnInit()
        for i = 1,World_GetPlayerCount()
	do
		local player = World_GetPlayerAt(i);
		Player_SetPopCapOverride(player, 700);
	end
end

Scar_AddInit(PopCap_OnInit)

If you have any problems or questions feel free to ask

Best Regards,
RagnarTheGamer

Thank you very much for this, Where is scar file in the COH2 mod builder I have never made a scar file before where to start.

there should be one already created if you made the WCP. It should be a file saved in .scar format. If you can't find it try watching this video.

I watch the video but he didn't explain where the scar file is to open with notpad++ because he already had it open be for the video I haven't made a WCP with my mod only download one that is not mine to edit.

I just wished his videos explain all of this but he don't he have already open and made the files before the video that's why I had to come to this forum to help me with the mod.

I have a link in the description of the video to the files you need: https://github.com/eliw00d/example-win-condition-pack

The wizard actually creates the two files if you specify locations for the win condition and scar files. I skipped that part but had the files ready because I was showing a more advanced way to set it up. I probably should have explained that part a little better.

You will need to create a file in your mod file called "data" in date create "game" and "scar" files. In "game" you will have all your .win files and in "scar" you will have all your .scar files.

there are two data files let me explain one is in

my games/company of heroes 2/mods/mod projects

another data folder is found in

my games/company of heroes 2/mods/tuning


where do I add the game/win condition & scar/win condition

Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2018, 15:33 PMRagnarTheGamer

no there will be only one "data" file

Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2018, 15:17 PMeliw00d

If you're following the video you only need the .win and .scar files:

https://github.com/eliw00d/example-win-condition-pack/blob/master/data/game/winconditions/default.win

https://github.com/eliw00d/example-win-condition-pack/blob/master/data/scar/winconditions/default.scar

When you make any kind of pack, you will have both a .mod and .xml file. But my example is probably not something you want to directly copy and paste since the ModID is unique. I put it up so you can see what I ended up with, to compare with your own mod.

ok in my setup I have this

my games/company of heroes 2/mods/mod projects/british kings II/British Kings II Intermediate Cache/Intermediate Files/data

my games/company of heroes 2/mods/tuning/data/art/ui


Two 'Data" so where to put it please!

So if I can't use yours as it was only example how do I make a scar file myself with the coh2 tools?

Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2018, 15:55 PMeliw00d

I meant the .mod and .xml. You can absolutely use the .win and .scar files because those are the ones created by the wizard...

Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2018, 16:12 PMDarkworld

So my mod 'MOD file' I just copied it and paste it in my data/game/winconditions and the XML document into the data/scar/winconditions


Is this part right?


So where do I put this in MOD File or XML?
local function PopCap_OnInit()
for i = 1,World_GetPlayerCount()
do
local player = World_GetPlayerAt(i);
Player_SetPopCapOverride(player, 700);
end
end

Scar_AddInit(PopCap_OnInit)

Also

+ commander


MOD file


XML file

No, you put it into your .scar file with you will automatically get after creating WCP. And "+ commander" you put that into your .win file which is also created.
