Adding Eras to shipped maps

Ty294 · Post by **Ty294** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 10:54 pm

Okay guys, I'm pretty sure it's been done before, but I'm not sure how, and I thought I heard it had something to do with "Mission.lua", which I don't have a clue where that is. But anyway, how would you add the eras to shipped maps that normally only have one era? AKA: Adding GCW to Kamino or CW to Hoth.

Okay, I said that really stupidly, but I hope you guys get my point.

Here's the code you can use in addme.lua to enable those eras (needs to be copied entirely, I think - haven't yet implemented it into my mod):

Hidden/Spoiler:

-- List of missions presented to the user for IA/MP/splitscreen/etc.

-- This list is kept in alphabetical order (in English, anyhow).

--

-- Each entry should be in the following form:

-- { -- starts a table entry

-- mapluafile = "END1", -- base name of map, w/o attacking side, no ".lua" either

-- showstr = "planets.endor.name1", -- localization key in DB of item to show

-- side_a = 1, -- [OPTIONAL] Put this in the table if there is a "a" version of the map

-- side_c = 1, -- [OPTIONAL] Put this in the table if there is a "c" version of the map

-- side_i = 1, -- [OPTIONAL] Put this in the table if there is a "i" version of the map

-- side_r = 1, -- [OPTIONAL] Put this in the table if there is a "r" version of the map

-- side_a_team1 = "common.sides.all.name" -- [OPTIONAL] -- localized name of team1 in an 'a' version of this map

-- side_a_team2 = "common.sides.imp.name" -- [OPTIONAL] -- localized name of team2 in an 'a' version of this map

-- -- Note, there's also OPTIONAL side_c_team1, side_i_team1, side_r_team1,

-- -- side_c_team2, side_i_team2, side_r_team2 fields.

-- 

-- }, -- ends a table entry

--

-- Below, things are in one-entry-per-line format to make it easier to

-- comment in/out maps by commenting in/out a single line

I've already added in the neccesary stuff to this script add CW Endor/Hoth and GCW Geonosis/Kamino. I'll leave mission.lua and map to you.

The bigger question is, where the heck is the Addme.lua and how would I get the edited one in-game?

And just to clarify, that text you posted overwrites the existing content of the Addme.lua?

jdee/barc · Post by **jdee/barc** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:02 pm

to get an addme lua go to bf builder (perferably pro update or bamdur's 2.0 pro edit) and create an addonmap. then go to Data(modname) and open the folder addme. the script should be there. now do what ggctuk said.

Ty294 · Post by **Ty294** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 3:18 pm

Okay, found it, copied over the existing content (right? or was it supposed to go alongside the existing content?). Now what? Do I munge the map and find a .lvl file or something?

I should note my current mod is in the final stages, but I wanted to add the GCW to Kamino, so that's why I brought it up.

Yes, it needs to be compiled and then added to Addon. It overrides the game's native mission list, hence why you need the whole thing.

Okay, well I guess that means I gotta back a map.

Thanks fellas!

correction: you don't need the whole thing, unless you want to edit campaign. you only need the beginning, to the end before the camapgin info starts. thats how i've always done it.
