how do i add new eras to maps in my addon folder?

in the FAQ topic under "Miscellaneous":
Era/Mode Side Mod Tutorial

no i know that i just want to add my era to a map in my addon i tried it like other maps but i get a ctd when the bf2 game starts up. so i figured i am doing somthing wrong.

I don't think it's possible.

oh

Do you have the LUA scripts to these maps?

Yeah, AQT's right. You need the .luas. It will make it just like adding eras to stock maps.

no i did not have the lua for the map i was trying to add the era to. but all i need is the lua? there is nothing else needed to be added to the addme or anything?

I'm pretty sure that's it. I vaguely remeber doing it once, with nothing but the lua.

ok thx guys i will try it out

Of course you have to edit the addme.lua as well as the mission.req, etc. It's literally called 'addme' for a reason; otherwise your game mode/era won't show up for the map.

yah i meant do i need to change it from what you just change it to add an era or add any new lines besides the ones you always add.

edit i tried doing it with the script but my new era is not there to be selected any ideas? shoulde i post my addme or the script or anything there are no munge errors. can someone post an addme of like pax empiraca or bf0 because they both add thire eras to maps that are in the addon right?

How are you loading this addon map through your LUA?

? what do you mean i am useing the lua that the map author sent me.Do i need to change it?

Of course, it's not going to magically read the map from the addon folder. You need to specify the correct directory. Usually you would see this line: or even this line: Change it to this: *** won't always be the map's modID just so you know.

ah ok thx

edit it works thx everyone this topic can be closed now
