Act of War: High Treason by Eugen Systems - US retail patch #1

MODDING TOOL

The "Modding Tool" is an advanced tool allowing you to change the models and textures in the game, alter their atributes, and save your changes to share with others -- essentially creating a modified version of the game (a "mod").

- Instructions can be found in the file "High Treason Editor Instructions.pdf".

- Some documentation is still in French, stay tuned...

NON-SUPPORT DISCLAIMER

Both the Map Editor and the Modding tool are released as "unofficial, non-supported goodies", to be used at your own risk, and without any warranties from Atari or Eugen Systems that everything will work... Of course we'll do our best to help out if you experience any issues or need assistance, but basically these tools are released as "freebies" for the community, to be utilized and supported by the community. For this purpose, Eugen Systems have created a Wiki section on their web site where you can share ideas and tips, and a dedicated forum on modding.
