Enabling all Chapters in 'The Settlers I - Veni, Vidi, Vici'

1. Change to directory SETTLER2\SAVE
2. Backup the file MISSIONS.DAT
3. Load the file MISSIONS.DAT into an editor

The topline shows a string of ten (10) digits, change this string to: '1111111111' [without the quotes]

Each digit represents a Chapter. A '1' means that the Chapter is enabled and a '0' means the Chapter is disabled.

TIP: You can disable all Chapters if you want to play them all again from scratch!

Getting more stock, resources and people in the Chapters of 'The Settlers II - Veni, Vidi, Vici'

1. Change to directory SETTLER2\DATA\MISSIONS
2. Backup the file you want to edit
3. Load the file MIS_00xx.RTX into an editor.[ 'xx' refers to the Chapter ]

There may be more .RTX files in this directory. These files belong to other maps (free game / unlimited play maps). I do not know which file belongs to which map.

In these files the variables are set for each Chapter. Below is a table with an explanation of these variables:

Note: For explanation on the # of goods, people and buildings refer to #association list below)

Here are some examples of the settings:

To add more players to the game you will have to add you will have to add a line under the headers:

• [GLOBAL_MAP_SETTINGS]
  • !GLOBAL_ADD_COMPUTER_PLAYER 2 2 - [You are player 0, also make sure that player # and character are different for every instance]
  • !GLOBAL_SET_COMPUTER_ALLIANCE 1 2 - [Player 1 is allied to player 2]
• [MAPCOMMANDS]
  • !SET_ACT_PLAYER 2 - [Start of player 2 settings section]
  • !SET_HOUSE 24, 57 ,67 - [Places Headquarters for player 2 at position X,Y]
  • !SET_HOUSE 0, 57, 73 - [Places Woodcutter for player 2 at position X,Y]
  • !ADD_WARE 14 100 - [Puts 100 Coins in stock for player 2]
  • !ADD_WARE 11 200 - [Puts 100 Beerbarrels in stock for player 2]
    • I do not know the maximum quantity for !ADD_WARE. I think its 255. If you go beyond, game will not load
  • !ADD_PEOPLE 29 100 - [Puts 100 Generals in stock for player 1]
  • !ADD_PEOPLE 22 150 - [Puts 150 Geologists in stock for player 1]
  • !ENABLE_HOUSE 5 - [Allows player 2 to build Sawmills]
  • !ENABLE_HOUSE 3 - [Allows player 2 to build Fishery]

Then the cycle starts again from !SET_ACT_PLAYER 3

Remember, for each !GLOBAL_ADD_COMPUTER_PLAYER you'll need:to have !SET_ACT_PLAYER. And for each !SET_ACT_PLAYER, you'll need to have sets of !SET_HOUSE, !ADD_WARE, !ADD_PEOPLE, and !ENABLE_HOUSE.

When you are done with this part, you can put in animals on the map for the hunters to hunt. Keep in mind that this line appears only after the last player's settings section:

!ADD_ANIMAL 1 50 57 77 - [Places 50 rabbits on the X,Y position on the map]
