KW basic modding help needed

[Codepilot 0]

Okay so lets get started, I am running kane's wrath via steam version 1.02. Compiled a basic mod using Mod SDK that is meant to just change the starting resources for multiplayer settings. It compiles fine makes a .big and .skudef file. Mod shows up in the Mod Launcher. When i attempt to launch the mod via mod launcher I get this error:

 

If I try to use a shortcut to CNC3EP1.exe and change its target to reflect the mod location like such:

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Command and Conquer 3 - Kane's Wrath\CNC3EP1.exe" -modConfig "E:\My Documents\Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath\mods\TM\TM_1.2.skudef"

 

The normal logo for the game startup pops up for about 5 seconds then just closes.

 

I tried using the method for steam of setting -ui and then looking in the replays thing for a mod folder but it doesn't show up there.

I also tried using -modConfig "E:\My Documents\Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath\mods\TM\TM_1.2.skudef" method for steam, game loads fine but has no effect from the mod (which makes me think it didnt load).

 

Is there a method I can use to run my mod on steam? Or a way I can at least see if my mod is functional, I would really desperatly like to start modding for this but getting started is turning out to be very frustrating lol

 

My mod code is below for reference if it might help solve this for me.

 

http://puu.sh/8gU0P.rar (zipped up the pre compiled code for the whole mod folder)

 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

Edit: Tried to launch mod loader with a cracked version of the game at 1.02 as well and it loaded the game fine so im guessing the above error has to do with steam or something.

Sadly the mod didnt take effect still so thats rather disapointing as well >.>

First of all, the C&C3 Mod SDK is not compatible with KW. You have to use WrathEd instead as that KW Mod SDK. Download here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/kanes-wrath-enhanced/downloads/wrathed-download-until-updated-by-megumi

 

To load any KW mod you also have to download the KW mod launcher: http://www.moddb.com/games/cc-kanes-wrath/downloads/cc3-kw-wrathed-mod-launcher-109

 

However the coding is more difficult for modding KW using WrathEd, which is why most modders had attempted and given up modding KW.... including me.

Well I appreciate you saving me the headache of trying to figure out why the mod just wont work with wrath lol. And thanks for the links at least for the wrath editor, already had the launcher

 

I am pretty determined to do at least some modding for this game have done modding for different C&C games for years as well as many other titles. Hopefully I can at least figure some of it out, thanks for the fast reply.

 

Edit: found http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=507112&sid=6a0cfd9bee0c58c6326523dfffe10438

has a much later version of the wrath-ed on it and apparently more people taking over the project to progress it for anyone's info.
