Scripts with gcf files

How can i change the scripts in gcf files to be active in my empiresversion? i can extract them but after changes i dont know what to do with them since gcf are static files and putting them in the appdata folder in correct positon where they used to be doesnt work either.

it used to be so easier before steam bullshit. :/

 

Empires hasn't used GCF's since last March. You just edit the script files directly now, in Steam\steamapps\common\Empires\empires\scripts.

 

expect to see them overwritten constantly for each "update" unless your adding new items.

 

I'd advise keeping an SVN-based installation so you can have more power over not getting yo shit overwritten.

And it's purdy kewl to be able to quickly look at past versions of everything. Like seriously, Jephir & the gang deserve massive kudos for configuring that.

 

You know it would be damn spiffy if we could just have a new directory called mods or some such that we could put things in and empires would load them up and override stock items with them.

 

That WOULD be pretty kickass, but as it turns out, the empires directory already is that directory in at least a couple cases. You can tweak certain things in source 2013 by adding files in the empires directory. I haven't tested it extensively, but I be surprised if it worked broadly.

 

This was why it was not working for me, i fucked up something stupid.

 

wow that would be a fantastic idea. I wonder who got 70% of the way into implementing that system

 

SVN was being used back when 2.2 was being developed, maybe even before that idk, so that's at least Kylegar, maybe even Krenzo.

Also yeah, script_manifest would have been nice.

 

I believe svn dates before 2.2 development as well.

That got me thinking, has anyone ever asked Krenzo where did he get his nickname? Id imagine Kylegar is some sort of wordplay on name, but , an incredibly dated joke aside, "Krenzo "really does sound like a "experience enchancing" drug.

 

That's basically his last name, right? That was enough for me.

Oh wow, USA is a bizzare country to have such a website.

Average life expectancy for Krenzo, lol.

Google image search is even better, full of angry polish meme pictures with loads of swears, for some reason.
This is the third hit. Im confused though id rather not translate.

I thought his last name was Krenz, so "Krenzo" seems like a decent nickname.

 

Actually, on topic of changing scripts and whatnot, does anyone still has Weedy's AUempires data?

 

Trickster has it somewhere.

 

........Pretty sure thats what an addons folder is for.
That's why source games use an addons folder.

You place things in the addons folder and use a addoninfo.txt to use custom things.

Yeah I've got it. Throw me a PM if you want it or whatever and I'll upload it.

 

I was more thinking of burying it somewhere deep before spartacus steals the code for vehicle mods

 

Haha, I've already seen it. It inspired quite a bit of Spartacuspires.

 

hence the past tense used
