Is it possible to use the command "ScriptCB_DoFile()" to load another mission script?

Yes I've done it just recently.

How?

For example if I want to use the coruscant (conquest) script I would use this code: Explained:

Reads sub lvl file (cor1c_con) from the stock mission.lvl, since that is where the mission script is loaded. Second I use ScriptCB_DoFile() to execute that script.

Sweet! Thanks!

EDIT
Do you add this to a blank script?

And can this be done with other mod maps?

EDIT
I still need help with this.

Yes and yes. The code I gave you would be the entire script. To get a different mod's mission script you'd change the path to something like this:

It crashes for some reason.

.lua script: "UOA" is Redline's space-to-ground utapau w/ icemember's 212 sides. I tested it as I was typing and it ran as usual.

Aaaaaaaaghhhh!!! There is a flaw in the workaround!

Here try adding this to your lua: (what do you mean by it ran as usual?)

ReadDataFile("..\\..\\addon\\UOA\\data\\_LVL_PC\\UOA\\UOA.lvl", "uoa_cw-assault")
ReadDataFile("..\\..\\addon\\UOA\\data\\_LVL_PC\\UOA\\spa_sky.lvl")

(what do you mean by it ran as usual?)

(I tried the map it calls for, it runs how it's supposed to.)
Still Crashes, now as soon as I press "Launch". Is that code supposed to be before or after ScriptCB_DoFile("UOAc_Diet Dr. Pepper")?

Huh. Maybe it can't handle that much data all at once. For now comment those lines out or get rid of them completely. The cause of the first crash was probably the fact that it couldn't load the republic side at all. Did you make any side replacements or anything that could screw it up... is the rep.lvl actually in the stock game's side folder?

Without a side a map will crash, while a map without a map will not crash.

(We can deal with the map after you get the sides working. Also could you post what the LUA looked like when it loaded the map and sky?)

The map uses stock and mod units for the republic, cis is stock, both SHOULD be working. Lemme check...

EDIT
Stock Rep works fine. Tried it on stock death star.

Hmmmm... looking back at your first error log I see that it can't find "dc:rep.lvl" and "dc:cis.lvl", it could be that it uses its own stock units if you know what I mean. Like you said, if it is using stock it should be working. I've gotten around the map not loading issue (back to this post), so that shouldn't a problem anymore. If your adding your own units then I'd suggest adding them now, I think it should work with at least one unit per team even if the rest don't load.

(I should also mention that I've gotten it to work on a custom map just today)

Still crashes...

Are you not loading the stock ingame.lvl or something? That's what that last error is basically saying.

Hmm... there shouldn't be anything that changed that. Can you PM me a stock one just in case?

Yet another flaw discovered. Updating the workaround again, I'll edit the post once I finish updating.

Also you have to make sure that you add your units via AddUnitClass as well (also demonstrated in the scenario in setup_teams lua)

- EDIT -

The workaround post has been edited again, hopefully this will be the last. I think you'd only have to look over the setup_teams lua again.

But i'm replacing units, not adding them...

I'll try that, though...

EDIT
IT WORKS!!!! Sorta. It loads the level, but not stock rep for some reason, cis is fine. And the custom units i'm loading aren't right, but I think it's with the sides themselves. I'll keep ya posted.

EDIT
I forgot that I renamed stock rep . Still dunno what's up with the custom sides, they themselves are fine. And vehicles won't load, for either side!

Your units wont appear unless you use AddUnitClass(), that's what all units use (including stock). I'll test the workaround for removing the stock sides found on that same post.

Now it crashes.

Mission script is unmodified from before.
