Can someone who has done this before, please give me a full proof guide to making a hunt mode?

I'll walk you through it tonight when I'm back on my PC. I'll try to sign on to Xfire too so you can ask and questions

Ok, I maybe at work, I have a 3 hour shift later today.
I'll leave x-fire up, so you can atleast send me the instructions, if I'm not there.

Caleb-only tutorial (it's rather advanced)

1-Copy a hunt lua to your /scripts/MAP folder. Adjust everything so it fits your map
2-Open mission.req, scroll to the bottom. Add [MAP][C or G]_hunt to the list
3-Go to Data_MAP/Common/mission. Make a new req for each _hunt lua
4-Open addme.lua... in this section

mapluafile = "AT5%s_%s", era_g = 1, era_c = 1,

add mode_hunt_[c or g] = 1
5-Scroll down to the AddDownloadableContent section and add your entry. For example:

AddDownloadableContent("TA1","ta1g_hunt",4)

Thanks Tean, I'll try it out tonight.
I'll be moving the Mando Vs Jedi into a Hunt mode, and make CW defualt.
Some one brought the idea up (you know who you are) and I guess I agree now, since theres only like 4 units per side, kinda hard to do a good conquest like that.

EDIT
Ok, Hunt mode shows up, all is fine except there is no map, could someone walk me through setting up and moving data into or whatever needs to be done to make a new layer?

Open you Hunt Lua and change this line:

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("dc:***\\***.lvl", "***_*insert_gamemode*")

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("dc:***\\***.lvl", "***_hunt")

Open up your map in ZE
Click on Active layer Change button
Create a new layer and rename it "hunt"
Click on game modes configure
Remove it from common layers
Type in hunt in mode name and then click add
Click on the add button in Layers Used and add the hunt layer
Click on update REQs and MRQs and navigate to your ***.req
Add your command posts and layer specific objects
Save and Munge, then play away!

*** Represents your map's three letter acronym

It just needs to be added to the "Everything you need" sticky.
