Mod - Tuning Pack - How to increase pop?

[James Ryan]

Hello, Im modding my own tuning pack. Sadly, the whole internet has no information about how to edit/increase pop limit. Also, I want to decrease houses giving +10pop to +5.

Similar question is asked here, but unanswered:
https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe4/comments/u5w9n4/help_content_editor_tuning_pack_for_increasing/

I also posted the question in the AoE4 discord modding part - no answer, it seems to be dead. Some mods solved this allready, any pro modder can tell how?

For example I found the "+10 pop" value for houses in the files (in "statemodel_schema"), but that part isnt possible to be edited/cloned/copied like the ebps folder can.

How to solve? An solution would be freaky awesome, the devs tutorial only covered the basic of the basic, not the great stuff which should be editable.

Yes sadly there are many limitations in modding for tuning packs Ive seen now (for beginners to medium skilled) which does not allow greater mod changes.

This + community not helping each other (to less ppl tryed things) = less or worse mods as it should be.

If any dev read that: For editor, pls:
- Let me change pop limit in files
- Let me change pop increase of buildings
without beeing a software developer myself. The values are in the files, open them for functional editing or show how.
- Let me playtest in editor without building my mod, close editor, start game, set up game, go to unit fight area and test. For fine tuning, I need editor ingame test abililities...

I think over the time I will learn more and more limits of the editor which makes me sad considering having it a little more beginner-modder friendly it could open so freaking gread modding options.

Incidentally, this forum isn't the best at modding. Do visit the modder's discord : https://discord.gg/Px5FSwx7

There are knowledgeable people in there, also some Relic representatives.
