I'm adding new era to regular Coruscant conquest and ctf, that is just a replica of CW and GCW.

I am using y for CW
I am using z for GCW

In the game it looks like this, using premade era stuff from 1.3 patch:

Hidden/Spoiler:

I desire y to be "Aggressive CW" and z to be "Aggressive GCW"

The icons should be the same as regular c and g eras.

I have almost no idea where to look, or what to look for to change this. Used search for "localize era" and looked at some 1.3 docs but didn't get anywhere, I don't think I needed what they explained or didn't understand it.

Any help will be wonderful.

Everything loads and plays fine, just lost about custom era localization.

There's a step-by-step guide located in AAA-v1.3patch/docs/howtos called Change an Era's and Game Mode's Name or Icon or Description. Have you looked at it, and if so, what exactly is giving you trouble?

It's really hard to even explain why I can't understand that guide...
I think: I don't know how to work with my addme.lua to do what it says.

An except from the guide says:
Basic Era Support
1) In addme/addme.lua, expand your sp_missionselect_listbox_contents table. Meaning, put each element on a line by itself so the table is easier to read, like this:

sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = {
isModLevel = 1,
mapluafile = "LVL%s_%s",
era_g = 1,
mode_con_g = 1,
}

But in my addme I don't even have some of those bits like isModLevel = 1

my addme:

Hidden/Spoiler:

--Search through the missionlist to find a map that matches mapName,

--then insert the new flags into said entry.

--Use this when you know the map already exists, but this content patch is just

--adding new gamemodes (otherwise you should just add whole new entries to the missionlist)

function AddNewGameModes(missionList, mapName, newFlags)

	for i, mission in missionList do

		if mission.mapluafile == mapName then

			for flag, value in pairs(newFlags) do

				mission[flag] = value

			end

		end

	end

end

--insert totally new maps here:

local sp_n = 0

local mp_n = 0

sp_n = table.getn(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

AddNewGameModes( sp_missionselect_listbox_contents, "cor1%s_%s", {era_y = 1, era_z = 1, mode_con_y = 1, mode_ctf_y = 1, mode_con_z = 1, mode_ctf_z = 1,} )

AddNewGameModes( mp_missionselect_listbox_contents, "cor1%s_%s", {era_y = 1, era_z = 1, mode_con_y = 1, mode_ctf_y = 1, mode_con_z = 1, mode_ctf_z = 1,} )

-- associate this mission name with the current downloadable content directory

-- (this tells the engine which maps are downloaded, so you need to include all new mission lua's here)

-- first arg: mapluafile from above

-- second arg: mission script name

-- third arg: level memory modifier.  the arg to LuaScript.cpp: DEFAULT_MODEL_MEMORY_PLUS(x)

AddDownloadableContent("cor1","cor1y_con",4)

AddDownloadableContent("cor1","cor1z_ctf",4)

-- all done

newEntry = nil

n = nil

-- Now load our core.lvl into the shell to add our localize keys

ReadDataFile("..\\..\\addon\\AGR\\data\\_LVL_PC\\core.lvl")

EDIT
OK it was really hard (or just really tedious with all the remunging every time I did it wrong)
but I got it.

Here's the correct addme lua

Hidden/Spoiler:

--Search through the missionlist to find a map that matches mapName,

--then insert the new flags into said entry.

--Use this when you know the map already exists, but this content patch is just

--adding new gamemodes (otherwise you should just add whole new entries to the missionlist)

function AddNewGameModes(missionList, mapName, newFlags)

for i, mission in missionList do

if mission.mapluafile == mapName then

for flag, value in pairs(newFlags) do

mission[flag] = value

end

end

end

end

--insert totally new maps here:

local sp_n = 0

local mp_n = 0

sp_n = table.getn(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

AddNewGameModes( sp_missionselect_listbox_contents,

"cor1%s_%s", 

{

era_y = 1, 

era_z = 1,

mode_con_y = 1, 

mode_ctf_y = 1, 

mode_con_z = 1, 

mode_ctf_z = 1,

change = {

era_y = { name="Aggressive CW", icon2="cis_icon" },

era_z = { name="Aggressive GCW", icon2="all_icon" },

}

}

)

AddNewGameModes( mp_missionselect_listbox_contents,

"cor1%s_%s", 

{

era_y = 1, 

era_z = 1,

mode_con_y = 1, 

mode_ctf_y = 1, 

mode_con_z = 1, 

mode_ctf_z = 1,

change = {

era_y = { name="Aggressive CW", icon2="cis_icon" },

era_z = { name="Aggressive GCW", icon2="all_icon" },

}

}

)

-- associate this mission name with the current downloadable content directory

-- (this tells the engine which maps are downloaded, so you need to include all new mission lua's here)

-- first arg: mapluafile from above

-- second arg: mission script name

-- third arg: level memory modifier.  the arg to LuaScript.cpp: DEFAULT_MODEL_MEMORY_PLUS(x)

AddDownloadableContent("cor1","cor1y_con",4)

AddDownloadableContent("cor1","cor1z_con",4)

AddDownloadableContent("cor1","cor1z_ctf",4)

AddDownloadableContent("cor1","cor1y_ctf",4)

-- all done

newEntry = nil

n = nil

-- Now load our core.lvl into the shell to add our localize keys

ReadDataFile("..\\..\\addon\\AGR\\data\\_LVL_PC\\core.lvl")
