Adding new modes?
I'm trying to add a different mode to my conquest-only map. How do I add more modes?

From the FAQ: http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 27&t=12104
You won't necessarily need to add a new layer (depending on your mode), but you will always need to follow the second half of the tutorial.

new modes not working.
oh ok thanks a lot.
EDIT: I tried to add hero assault using that tut and it keeps saying mission/ATCg_eli cannot be found. Any ideas?
EDIT2
I tried adding hero assault and hunt to my map but when I try playing, it always crashes with a FATAL error saying: could not open MISSION/ATCg_hunt, or could not open MISSION/ATCg_eli. Does anyone know what's wrong?

Re: new modes not working.
A bad mode .lua script won't give you a fatal (sev 5) error. That only happens when the game fails to load the script you're being asked to run.skelltor wrote:and your hunt and hero assault luas.
If I had to guess, the OP forgot to use an extra "AddDownloadableContent()" call in his addme.lua. It could also be a problem in the individual .req files (ATCg_eli.req, etc.).

If you haven't made them, you need to. They belong in your data_MODID\common\mission folder. This is covered in the tutorial you were directed towards earlier. Make sure to read it through carefully.

Re: new modes not working.
Yes, those. As I said it is probably a problem in your addme.lua, but those can cause the same error if you don't have them correct.jubjoe567 wrote:Hidden/Spoiler:those?Hidden/Spoiler:

Re: Adding new modes?
Did you add the mode correctly in ZE? Because i'm guessing you forgot to add a layer with cp's, like the conquest layer.......For more info, check your tutorial...

Post your error log. If you don't know how to find it, look for the info in the FAQ sticky topic.
