Layers

When I started mapping, I had no idea that you needed to put common objects (buildings) in base, and I put them all in conquest. However, recently, I began scripting for campaign when it hit me. Nothing would show up ingame since all my stuff was in my conquest layer! If my buildings are in my conquest layer, how do I get it so that the objects appear the same in campaign?
My questions:
Will objects in conquestn show up in my other gamemodes?
If they dont, how would I transport them to base?
If I can't transport them, how can I make it so that each mode applies to the same layer?

I think there's an option to port stuff from one layer to another, but you could always rename the conquest layer to base, and make it a common layer (that appears in all game modes).

1. See N°3
2. This will merge your (selected) layers into one:

Sorry for the bad quality.
3. You want for example to use the conquest layer for your campaign mode, then open your XXXc_c.lua and change this line
Code: Select all
ReadDataFile("dc:XXX\\XXX.lvl", "XXX_campaign")
to
Code: Select all
ReadDataFile("dc:XXX\\XXX.lvl", "XXX_conquest")

Wait, in n2, does that merge the layers, so that everything in conquest is in base? Or does it make it the same layer?

The conquest layer dissappears and the conquest layer stuff is merged into the base layer.
(Note: To put the conquest stuff into the base stuff you have to rightclick on the
base layer, if you rightclick on the conquestlayer the base stuff will be merged into the conquest layer.)

You can create a new one.

You could have just loaded both modes:
Code: Select all
ReadDataFile("dc:XXX\\XXX.lvl", "XXX_campaign")
ReadDataFile("dc:XXX\\XXX.lvl", "XXX_conquest")
Just be sure to disable the CPs from Conquest (or anything else from Conquest you don't want) in the Campaign's lua.
