Hi Andrew. Just bought the game. Never played CC before but it looks very promising.
Couple of  quick questions - Are there any good resources for a newbie modder ?  and does the automated mod installer on your site come with instructions ? 
Thank you

[Andrew Williams]

From the Modinstaller readme

Close Combat Wacht am Rhein Mod Installer

This installer is meant to help the modding community with creating a unique structure for further mods.
A mod installed with this installer will create the mod directory beneath your Close Combat Wacht am Rhein folder.
It will create an additonal folder called mods with a subdirectory of the same name as the mod directory.
The reason for this is to store the uninstall files mod specific.
Additional the installer will create/use one registry setting (HKLM\Software\CCWaR\Mods\CCWaRPath) to store the
latest selected Close Combat Wacht am Rhein installation directory.
The file readme.txt file and the mod.ico will be copied to the mod directory and shortcuts will be created.

Now what do you need ?

You need the CCWaRModInstaller.zip You can get it at http://www.closecombatseries.net/CCS/ and maybe at Matrix.
Extract it.

Copy your mod directories (for example DATA, Games, GRAPHICS, localfx, MAPS) into the mod folder.

Edit the edits\install.ini file. There's an example already included.

If you wish you can create your own bitmaps for the left bitmap as well as for the icon of the installer or
the desktop shortcut.

At the moment I have included stuff from the original Matrix Close Combat Wacht am Rhein game. I hope that this is ok.

In short, all files in the edits folder are to be customized but are needed !

When you are done please just run the file BuildMod.cmd
It will create a file in the output directory. Please test it


Important !!!!!

If you know that you may create a second/third/... version of your mod please use always the same name
in the file install.ini

The file WizardLeftImage.bmp has to be: 165 * 315
The file WizardSmallImage.bmp has to be: 32 * 32

The Mod.ico is the windows icon for the desktop shortcut.
The ModInstaller.ico is the windows icon for the created installer file.

Suggestions or questions are welcome !

Many thanks Andrew. Will take a look.
BTW there is nothing wrong with your close combat/matrix games site.   It looks fine to me !

Andrey! For example I wish to change some values of the weapon. But I cannot open a file by means of WaR_Data_Workbook. Or if I shall make changes in WaR_Data_Workbook as I can add the made changes??? Earlier all was simple - I changed data of directly file "îðóæèå.txt" and how it is necessary to do now?

[Senior Drill]

Advo, you can edit and mod the files the way you did before. The game uses the WaR\Data\Base .txt files.

The Data Workbook is a collection of copies of the game .txt files with column identification and information, with some built in calculator functions. The Data Workbook is a tool, not game data. It is in Excel spreadsheet format. If you do not have MS Excel, you can get the freeware Open Office.
