Custom Mygeeto

I know this is kinda answered in 'how to edit a shipped world', but I just want to be clear on this.

I want to add an extra era to stock mygeeto ('x' - Extended Civil War, supported by 1.3 patch) which will use my GCW sides from Kadrala. I don't ant to edit anything else about mygeeto. This will add an era with custom sides, not take anything away. I also would like them to be localised for mygeeto (have all localised already in my Kadrala map). How can I do this?

You will need to modify your addme script like this, so it adds a new era, not a new map:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]--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, "myg1%s_%s", {era_* = 1, mode_con_* = 1,} )

AddNewGameModes( mp_missionselect_listbox_contents, "myg1%s_%s", {era_* = 1, mode_con_* = 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("myg1","myg1*_con",4)

-- all done

newEntry = nil

n = nil

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

ReadDataFile("..\\..\\addon\\***\\data\\_LVL_PC\\core.lvl")[/code]

As for the localization, you can still edit them since the game loads your maps localization. Hope that helps!
