Company of Heroes Modding Setup file - CoH: Modern Combat Developers

The package will also create a new mod ready to work with. The mod is called 'First_Mod'. The pipeline and .burn files are already setup to deal with the mod. When the installer is done you will have a folder on your desktop called "CoH Modding Setup - Finalization". Open it and run the program ModelExportInstall.exe with administrative rights.

However if you have already started working on a mod or want to make a new one there are a few steps you must take:

I suggest using the step-by-step program called "New Mod Setup.bat" located on your Desktop
---RUN IT WITH ADMINISTRATIVE RIGHTS OR IT WILL NOT WORK---

Instructions to making a new Mod
-------------------------------------------

1. Open Corsix's ModStudio and press create new mod, then just follow the instructions

2. The go to your (CoH root folder: C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes) and then open your mod's.module file with notepad, and delete all the code.

3. Open the First_Mod.module and copy all the code and paste into your mod's.module file. Then hit [CTRL + H] then:

Find what: First_Mod
Replace with: Mod's name

4. Open pipeline.ini (in your CoH root folder) with Notepad, look at the bottom of the file and there is some instructions on what to do with the code. You need to copy, paste the [project:First_Mod] and then just alter the name to your mod's name.

5. Copy the folder Mod_Template to your Desktop. Then change the name of each folder that says Mod Name to the name of your mod.

6. Open _default.burn in [Mod_Template\DataGeneric\Mod Name] then press [CTRL + H] then:

Find what: First_Mod
Replace with: Mod's name

7. After saving that copy the three folders in Mod_Template [DataSrc, DataGeneric, IntDataSrc] and paste them into to your CoH Root folder, and allow the folders to merge.

8. Then open the _default.burn in your DataGeneric folder and copy paste the last 4 lines to the bottom and change 'First_Mod' to the name of your mod. These lines:

burn_projects.First_Mod = {
project = [[First_Mod]],
burnerPath = [[Tools\Bin]],
}

And now you should have everything setup for you new mod!
