Hello,

here you can download the Modding SDK for TE4 : https://www.managames.com/download.php? ... SDK_v1.zip . (last update : May 2022)

It works like the one for TEM2, except you should use the TE4 Mods folder instead of the TEM2 Mods folder..!

So read all the explanations here : topic11-31376.php .

1 important note though : for TE4, the menu files in "Menu/ScriptTe" are used instead of the ones with the same name in "Menu/Script". TEM2 completely ignores "Menu/ScriptTe" and uses only "Menu/Script".

The outfits are in a separate SDK, to avoid to have to download a too big file when there are some changes in the base SDK.
TE4 Outfit Modding SDK : topic60-33539.php

The animations have their own SDK.
TE4 Animation Modding SDK : topic60-33190.php

Extra notes :
- the sounds still use the legacy TE2013 Modding ; it'll change in the future, at the very least for the Grunts so they'll require to only be copied in the correct folder without touching any .ini files. It should be easy to convert existing Grunt & Sound Mods to that new system when it'll come. (EDIT: Done, explanations => topic60-33725.php )
- the 2D court modding will have a small rehaul, to make it easier to change the surface physics for many courts at the same time, as well as define different 2D courts for the same tournaments (ie: small court, main court, day/night session) ; the courts should still work without changes after that rehaul ; (EDIT: Done for the new way to add 2D courts, explanations => topic60-33904.php )
- it's not possible to Mod the 3D models ; ie: the players, the 3D stadiums, the NPCs, etc.
- it's not possible to Mod the 3D stadium textures ; it'll be possible to Mod the court surface at some point, though
- I'll try to do a clearer Modding FAQ once the game will be done & its Modding stabilized ; for now, you have to go through the older TE2013 Modding documentation to get some of the basis and thus it can be daunting
- If you have any issues, or before releasing your Mod to the public, look for "error" and "warning" in Settings -> Profiles -> Show Engine Log (on the bottom left), and try to fix them all

Merci Manu pour ce lien et ton travail toujours apprécié.

[sixstringseraph]

Yes! Thank you, thank you!

Great news, Manu! I loved especially this part: "as well as define different 2D courts for the same tournaments (ie: small court, main court, day/night session)"

About the stadiums, will it really be impossible to mod them, or will it be just "hard but possible" for those interested? I'm asking it because I remember Maxou modded some stadiums in TE2013, and I believe it was something that wasn't considered in the modding SDK of that game.

And a last question: are the game strings already "final"? Can I update the Portuguese translation for the remaining untranslated sentences?

Thank you as always for your dedication to this game.

antimouse,
1) Right now, it's totally impossible to add Modded stadiums. If someone really wants to create one, I could add the necessary stuff, but it might be a long process, so 1st I'd give the conventions to follow to create a new stadium and then wait to see that someone actually doing it...

2) in dedicated topic => viewtopic.php?p=278999#p278999

[nico86]

the file Players.ATP.Ini does not contain the real names in this new sdk ?

[manutoo]

manutoo，
I want to ues my “sounds folder” of 2013mod to te4 modding sdk ，when I moving them to the folder of te4 modding sdk，it does not work well.

[manutoo]

xk_te2013/4,
You shouldn't use the Sound.ini from TE2013 without any change ; at least copy over the [Menu] section from the TE4 Sound.ini . And look for error or warning in Settings -> Profiles -> Show Engine Log (on the bottom left).

manutoo，
thank you. After I modified the game system.in and added the“ shot sound switching board ”in the menu, the sound mod is running perfectly now

[Tincho18]

How have you done that?? i tried but cant do it

[xk]

you can copy [sound folder] and [sound.ini] of 2013mods to te4 modding sdk in right place,and open [gamesys.ini]→[NbGrunts]→modified “NbType”

[Tincho18]

Yes i ve done that but i mean the part of shot sounds switching board, how you do that? with only changing gamesys.ini Nbtype doesnt work for me

[xk]

Tincho18，
yes，I add sound change code to setting audio menu

[Tincho18]

How you have done that??
