Ive come across a strange problem with my 1-Flag CTF game mode. It's that it only works in cw and not gcw. Whatever I do when trying to play the map on 1-Flag CTF in gcw, dosent work, and the result I get when playing the level is that no one spawns and you cant score points for your team. Im not sure why this happens but I've narrowed down two good options I can take from here 1) I can fix my game mode so it works in gcw 2) I can stop the person from selecting gcw era in the 1-Flag CTF game mode. What do you guys think I should do?

I choose option 1. post your error log and relevant lua (ABCg_1flag.lua i think) and we'll see what we can do...

The GCW 1 flag has errors upon creation, look at the lua for it and you will find it still references the CW era. Change the appropriate parts in the LUA (hint they are near the top sorry at work don't have modtools here to post bits.) then it should work fine.
You can also use a shipped maps gcw 1 flag lua for reference.

Maybe we should put together a mod tools patch that fixes things like that for new map creations. We could add the SoldierAnimation pools to the default scripts too.


Hmmm.... *makes mental note*

Along with that, the addme.lua changes.

Okay, so im going to do option 1. But just out of curiosity how do you do option 2?

Here is my .lua script for ABCg_1flag.
And here is my error log. Im giving you the whole thing cause im not sure what bits you want.

Post your Addme.lua

Did you try doing this?

Can you guys please do that!

Believe it or not this line will prevent it from working right. It was the sev 3 error right at the bottom of your error log

SoundEvent_SetupTeams( REP, 'rep', CIS, 'cis' )

Change it to:

SoundEvent_SetupTeams( ALL, 'all', IMP, 'imp' )

The same kind of thing exists in the 2 flag mode as well for GCW, not that particular line but REP and CIS references where they should be ALL and IMP

ahhh ha, thanks frag me!, you deserve an extra 10 !!!!!!!!!!

And also thanks to every one else who helped, btw, the patch wouldnt be a bad idear.

Looks like i was too late to help
The patch would be a good idea. Would it be possible to add extra modes/era's to the world creation munge for several major era mods like DT and KotOR?

I've seen lots of maps with only the CW era or GCW era avaliable to choose so I'm still curious about how it can be done.

Read the v1.3 documentation.
