So I'm trying to run three maps from one directory. I already have two of them working from the directory, but the third won't work.
addme.lua
(BVS and ACW are the ones that work, MAK is the one that does not.)

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)

sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = { 

	isModLevel = 1, 

	mapluafile = "BVS%s_%s", 

	era_g = 1,

	mode_con_g = 1, 	

	change ={

		era_g = { name="Second Galactic War" },

	},

}

mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1]

sp_n = table.getn(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = { 

	isModLevel = 1, 

	mapluafile = "MAK%s_%s", 

	era_g = 1,

	mode_con_g = 1, 

	mode_1flag_g = 1,	

	change ={

		era_g = { name="Second Galactic War" },

	},

}

mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1]

sp_n = table.getn(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = { 

	isModLevel = 1, 

	mapluafile = "ACW%s_%s", 

	era_g = 1, 

	mode_con_g = 1,

	change ={

		era_g = { name="Great Galactic War" },

	},

}

mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1]

I don't see anything immediately wrong with your addme.
Maybe try adding the config section to your MAKg_1flag.req? I know some of the stock .reqs don't include it but every default MODera_mode.req I've seen has included it. I've honestly yet to see one without it, for any of my maps, no matter how few or how many eras and modes.

In what way does the MAK map not work? Does it not show up at all in the map selection screen? Does it crash the game when you play it?

It doesn't show up on map selection

Replace everything before "--insert totally new maps here" with this code:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]

-- recursively merges the second given table into the first given table

function MergeTables( mission, newFlags )

   --for each table entry,

   local array = type({})

   for key,value in pairs(newFlags) do      

      --check for nested tables

      if type(value) == array then

         --mission must have this key as a table too

         if type(mission[key]) ~= array then

            mission[key] = {}

         end

         --merge these two tables recursively

         MergeTables(mission[key], value)

      else

         --the key is a simple variable, so simply store it

         mission[key] = value

      end

   end

end

--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

         MergeTables(mission, newFlags)

      end

   end

end

[/code]

nope still not working

Weird. I'm at a loss for now. The only thing I can think of, which is a shot in the dark anyway, is to try playing with the order of the maps as they're loaded in add me and in mission. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to making sure things are in the right order, so personally I would try A. Alphabetizing the order of the maps and modes in add me, and B. Changing their order in mission.req to the same order as in addme. Again it might not work but it's something I would try.

Your code seems fine... You don't directly increment sp_n or mp_n, but you reset them after each time you add a map so that's fine. But I'd recommend printing out sp_n and mp_n after you get them. They should increment by 1 each time. If nothing prints out then you're not running what you think you're running (always a possibility).

Next remove all the other mod maps. One of them might be clobbering your entries. The code jedimoose32 posted prevents you from accidentally clobbering someone else's map, so make sure to always use it from now on.

Does the map not show up in both SP and MP selection lists? Is the map there but not your mission or is the map completely missing? If the map is there you can double-click on it and v1.3 will print out the table details to the debug log. Post that if you can get it.

Actually guys the addme was working fine, the munge just wasn't copying it over.
