Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth Message Board  

Hey I have a question about a few values in the ini files. In a few places there are values like build times and such that'll have semicolons like "InitialMaxRingLevel = 60 ;2" or "MORDOR_ARCHER_BUILDCOST 300 ;200" They're two different numbers and I don't know which to change or even why there are two especially when it is a build time. So could someone explain what the semicolons are there for?

don't know what the semicolons are for but for
Mordor_Archer_Buildcost 300;200 I changed it to 3;2 so that it costs either 3 or 2 gold. Am i right commodog?

yeah, i'm pretty sure.

I figured out most of it by changing and testing just like you guys are doing.

Here is another easy fix for framerates:
At the beginng of the gamedata.ini file there is a line that says:
"UseFPSLimit = Yes"
change that to "no" and your FPS will go up.

The developers appear to have tied logic frames to rendered frames. in other words, if you increase the framerate, not only do you get a higher framerate, but the game itself runs faster. hence, you're stuck at 30 if you want it to play right.

Anything after the semicolon is not counted. A semicolon denotes a comment.

commondog do u know why i cant get my commandpoints to work as evil, same thing for lumbermill income?

Iv changed the number to 800 commpoints, but its still only at 200-300 when i begin the isengard campaign.

did you do it in multiplayer settings as well?

have any of you seen if it is possible to change the damage of the units?

Are you talking about the damage that is caused on an enemy? if so there are lines where you can change the damage rate higher for each type of unit.
