I've followed Tean's tut on getting more maps into 1 addon folder, and it's working. Only my loadscreens aren't working anymore. They keep overriden each other. I've tried to rename common.req into modIDera_mode.req (for example ABCc_con.req), and in that req i refered to modID_era_mode_loadscreen (for example; ABC_cw_con_loadscreen) I renamed the loadscreen for this map into this ABC_cw_con_loadscreen.tga and in the lua, i added this line:


ReadDataFile("dc:Load\\ABCc_con.lvl")

I munged, but no succes. I asked Teancum about this, and he said that he used cfg files for the Convo pack. I don't know what these are, and Tean lost them in his computer crash (why?!? :'( ) so i really hope someone can help me out with this! Thanks in advance

You have to keep the name of the loadscreen image the same in each loadscreen lvl. The lvl name doesn't matter, but the image name must be the same as the tut.

More info on the cfg files would be nice. I know you can use them to change movie names, but whats the format for loadscreens?

Thanks a lot! To do this, i supose you make a req (let's say ABC_con.req), take that loadscreen and call it loadscreen.tga, munge, and then rename the req into another map (let's say XYZ_con.req) and change the loading screen into that one, munge etc. Then, after adding all and munging, copy the load folder and paste it into the addon folder.... Ofcourse also refer to the correct .lvl file in the correct lua. Thanks Zerted

What i know about those cfg files, is that they can probably be used to add loadingscreens in a faster way... Here's wiki on it:

thanks again zerted

You're not gonna find info on those config files online. They were solely for SWBF2. And I lost them long ago. I'll see if my source still has them.

I noticed during munge, that it munges .cfg files for every language with localisation.. Are they maybe located in a folder somewhere about this? (I'm not with the modtools atm)
