Merging simple mods

[gram123]

Im trying to merge a simple modcomp into one of the massive modpacks. The modcomp im trying to merge is a very small modification only editing the CvUnit.cpp and adding a single xml to the assets\text. However in the modcomp im trying to merge the CvGameCoreDLL.dll is also there and im not sure if there are any change in this file that i need to copy too

I have tryed to merge the CvUnit.cpp and think a have succeded in getting all the change from the small mod into the big mod, and copied the new xml file to its right location. I try to open the CvGameCoreDLL.dll in code::blocks but it seems it only content one line saying nothing but "MZ"

I think its because a havent decompiled the CvGameCoreDLL.dll but how do i do this so that i can copy the changes in the dll file?

CvUnit.cpp is a C language source file. If you change one, you have to recompile everything into a new cvgamecoredll.dll using a C compiler. Please look into "refar's guide" to compiling which can be found in the modiki.

So what i do is, copy the code i need from the simple cvunit.cpp into the modpacks cvunit.cpp and then compile the whole modpacks source codes into a new CvGameCoreDLL.dll right?

As it happens another modder is going through this process in a nearby thread. Please read there for basic instructions.
