Changing the colour of your map name?

Recon Trooper · Post by **Recon Trooper** » Fri Sep 25, 2009 6:23 am

How do you change you map name colour? I've seen blue from the taris maps.

It's in the documentation that came with the 1.3 patch. I can't tell you exactly where, since I haven't done it myself. (though blue is already used by BF0 and green by Dark Space, it's better to pick another one.)

Its still kinda weird, i made it red but all it does is crash bf2.

mswf · Post by **mswf** » Fri Sep 25, 2009 6:37 am

At which point? When you start BF2 or when you click on it, when you start the map etc.

probably when it starts up, post the addme.lua please

Post by **[RDH]Zerted** » Fri Sep 25, 2009 9:45 am

Yes, post the addme.lua and the debug log. If you don't know how to create the log, see the sticky FAQ topic. Also, I don't remember if I did it (I know I was thinking about doing it...), but the same color used for map selection might be banned from use as a standard map color.

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)

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

mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+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("DCF","DCFg_con",4)

AddDownloadableContent("DCF","DCFc_con",4)

-- all done

newEntry = nil

n = nil

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

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

Can someone edit it for me?

Yes, but it is so easy. Besides, the tutorial is in Program Files/Lucasarts/Star Wars Battlefront 2/Gamedata/v1.3 patch/docs/howtos, and is unimaginably easy to follow.

Ya, the same thing is happening to me. ill post my addme.lua.

You did not do it right, it should look like this { red = 255, green = 255, blue = 255, IsModLevel....
I'm not sure if thats the color you want though.

Edit: made a mistake with red, but it is fixed now...

genaral_mitch · Post by **genaral_mitch** » Fri Sep 25, 2009 9:26 pm

it's black right? so is the only thing wrong this: { ?

StarkillerMarek · Post by **StarkillerMarek** » Fri Sep 25, 2009 10:35 pm

No, I tried this and it turned white for some dumb reason. You had it at the beginning in the wrong place.

kinetosimpetus · Post by **kinetosimpetus** » Fri Sep 25, 2009 10:51 pm

255,255,255 is white, black would be 0,0,0

mswf · Post by **mswf** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:08 am

(use paint to select a colour and the values are in the order of R, G, B)

Fiodis · Post by **Fiodis** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 11:27 am

Also, 255 is max.

Post by **[RDH]Zerted** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 12:49 pm

sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = (red = 255, blue = 255, green = 255, { isModLevel = 1, mapluafile = "ACW%s_%s", era_c = 1, mode_assault_c = 1,}

should be

sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = {red = 255, blue = 255, green = 255, isModLevel = 1, mapluafile = "ACW%s_%s", era_c = 1, mode_assault_c = 1,}

The unclosed ( should have given you a munge error...

StarkillerMarek · Post by **StarkillerMarek** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 12:52 pm

Make sure to put a space between the "{" and "red".

Unnecessary.

genaral_mitch · Post by **genaral_mitch** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 8:54 pm

If it's unessesary, does it have to have no space?

kinetosimpetus · Post by **kinetosimpetus** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 9:48 pm

no, otherwise he would have said "incorrect"
