Adding eras

SpartanA259 · Post by **SpartanA259** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 9:33 am

Hello again. So I was trying to add my era to all the stock maps other than Hoth and Endor. Im sure I followed all the directions correctly in this tutorial then I munged and went in game and neither my map or era are there. If there is anything I need to post please tell me thanks.

Do you have the 1.3 patch installed? And if so, can we see your addme.lua?

SpartanA259 · Post by **SpartanA259** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 9:58 am

1.3 has the BF1 one maps right if so yes and here the 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)

--add my modes to the singleplayer map selection screen

AddNewGameModes( sp_missionselect_listbox_contents, "HAL%s_%s", {era_a = 1, mode_con_a = 1,} )

AddNewGameModes( mp_missionselect_listbox_contents, "HAL%s_%s", {era_a = 1, mode_con_a = 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("HAL","HALg_con",4)

AddDownloadableContent("HAL","HALc_con",4)

-- all done

newEntry = nil

n = nil

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

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

The conversion pack has BF1 Maps. The 1.3 patch allows you to do modding things like adding modes and eras.

Firefang · Post by **Firefang** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 12:04 pm

You forgot this line in the addme

AddDownloadableContent("HAL","HALa_con",4)

SpartanA259 · Post by **SpartanA259** » Tue Aug 09, 2011 11:43 pm

Ok so I put that in and munged. I loaded the game and the Era still isnt there... I think I did something wrong.

EDIT
Ok so I got the map to work ingame but my era isnt there. Should I post anything else?

Double posting is against the RULES; please EDIT your post instead -Staff

Give an example of what the mission .req looks like, and an example (like kas1x_con req)
Are you sure that you followed the tutorial correctly? It works finely for me.

Do you have BFX installed? BFX also uses the a (and b) mode.

SpartanA259 · Post by **SpartanA259** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 12:28 am

BFX is not installed. Heres one of the stock maps LUAs. I might have did something wrong.

I tried adding an era and even though BFX was not in my addon folder (keep in mind I used a for my era, like BFX) BFX appeared on the map I wanted a to be on. Perhaps you should use a different letter?

EDIT: Did you ever install BFX?

CressAlbane · Post by **CressAlbane** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 11:55 am

The bfx era will appear because the1.3patch has the a era localized as BFX clone wars.

So it actually won't load BFX, gotcha.
