Hi,
I want to know if it's possible to add a custom class with hex-editing the mission.lvl file only. If yes, how I can do this?
As usual thanks for the help guys

I'm pretty sure it's possible, yeah, but I'm even more sure that it'd require offsetting bytes and whatnot, which I don't know how to do lol, so I wouldn't be of much help, rip

But, why? You can accomplish the same thing using the mod tools and notepad.

This is correct. You can load in nearly anything from any mod within LUA, if you know how to

Say you wanted to add your own custom side to the stock Kamino map. Just copy over the script from (assets/scripts/kam/kam1c_con) to your mod scripts, load it in as a mission, and tweak it to add your custom unit. That is probably the easiest way.

You can override stock missions with addon missions. Just do as Kingpin said but don't change the name of the script.

What i'm saying is that's unnecessary. You can replace those same missions without even touching mission.lvl.
Just follow the new era/mode tutorial without changing the scripts' names and only adding this to your addme.lua:
Code: Select all
AddDownloadableContent("stockworld","name_of_stock_script",4)
The stock missions will be changed just like if you edited mission.lvl.
