The online manual is no longer updated, use the pdf manual instead.

Just a heads up for any modders from CoE4, there are two main steps you must take to port a mod to CoE5.

1. change the mod file extention to c5m
2. create a folder with the same name as your c5m file in the mods folder of CoE5 directory
3. throw all the files used for that mod into that folder and you're done.

Does someone know how the startplane works? manual says only:
startplane <plane> but what goes into <plane> ?

[Morgan]

Probably the number for the appropriate plane. Is there a table in the modding manual with those numbers? If not, you could just try different values and see which plane you end up on. I would start with numbers from 0-9.

[Mohreb el Yasim]

i tried 0, 1, sky, sky plane with no effect, and nope, there was nothing in the manual.

[Morgan]

If you're trying the name of the plane, be sure to put it in quotes. Otherwise, I'm not sure. It might not be fully implemented yet.

The modding manual was just updated

Still no command to write to the abilities info box of a class

Independents have now multiple factions and they fight against each other.
This is not documented in the manual. There is only the number <16> for independents, number <17> for special independents but apparently there are higher numbers that are undocumented. Thank you!

There is no command to assign a terrain as a remote horizon, could this be added?

Either the documentation is incorrect or monplayerreq "(#)..." does not work. Tested with (#) and (+) in case (#) was a typo.

Modding manual updated for version 5.06 now. Including new chapter for Magic Item modding.

Some additional info for the following would be great.

deployoutside has nothing listed as to what the value should/could be (currently assume 1 = true and 0 = false). Same with hideanimals.

forestheart as well whether it is square radius or number of forests.
