trying to get into modding

[edkopik]

I was trying to get into modding foand decided to begin with TW3WH, but I've had a problem while following the tutorial.

When I tried exporting the file I wanted to modify with the following export.bat:

 

cd \d C:\Program Files (x86)\Witcher 3 Mod Tools\bin\x64

call wcc_lite export -depot="C:\MODs\W3\Raw\Uncooked\" -file="gameplay\items\def_item_alchemy_mutagens.xml" -out="C:\MODs\W3\LessToxicityDecoction\RAW\def_item_alchemy_mutagens.tga"

(note: depot=<where my uncooked files are> file=<where the file I want to modify is, from where the depot left off> and out=<the folder I designated to do the modding>)

and for a lack of better words: it didn't work

the command promp appeared and disapeared faster than I could see or screenshot, I tried removing and adding "" or \, and didn't change a thing

when i opened the command promp to type that in I got this

C:\Program Files (x86)\Witcher 3 Mod Tools\bin\x64>call wcc_lite export -depot="C:\MODs\W3\Raw\Uncooked\" -file="gameplay\items\def_item_alchemy_mutagens.xml" -out="C:\MODs\W3\LessToxicityDecoction\RAW\def_item_alchemy_mutagens.tga"

and I know nothing of what that says. I never even messed with speedConfig.xml, and how come it found "gameplay\" but "directory 'items\' not found!" (it IS there)?

only that those error messages (or some very similar, specially the first 2) also appeared when I first uncooked my files, except after some time it resumed in uncooking things

I tried exporting different files, also to no avail.

does anyone have any idea of what is going wrong?

or if maybe witcher 3 is not the best game for a first mod?

Witcher 3 is completely modding unfriendly.

And if you are trying to export xml file into tga file it means that you do not completely understand what you are doing :)

Btw you do not need to use the ModKit if you want to edit some xmls like def_item_alchemy_mutagens.xml, Mod Editor can do that in a much more simple way (you can download it on CDPR forums).
