I tried to add Mav's Dark Times to a map last night, and I obviously didn't do something right. I get a whole bunch of munge errors. : I tried reviewing all the sutff I did, but everything looks ok. I edited by mission.req, and I added a mi11_con.req. I then followed Mav's tutorial.


The lua looks ok to me, but apparently ScriptPostLoad is not ended. Mission.req: mi11_con.req: Maybe I just am too frustrated to see the errors, I don't know. Help is appreciated

It's not ended, because the "end" you have at the end of the ScriptPostLoad only closes out the "if" statement right above it. Here's what I said in the tutorial, with some emphasis added:

Proceed down towards the end of the ScriptPostLoad section (before "end"). This is essentially just how you set up hero support (and as such is covered in more detail in archer's tutorial), but note that you will need to add the hero support like this:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]if not ScriptCB_InMultiplayer() then
herosupport = AIHeroSupport:New{AIATTHeroHealth = 4000, AIDEFHeroHealth = 4000, gameMode = "NonConquest",}
herosupport:SetHeroClass(ALL, herostrAll)
herosupport:SetHeroClass(IMP, herostrEmp)
herosupport:AddSpawnCP("CP1","CP1SpawnPath")
herosupport:AddSpawnCP("CP2","CP2SpawnPath")
herosupport:AddSpawnCP("CP3","CP3SpawnPath")
herosupport:AddSpawnCP("CP4","CP4SpawnPath")
herosupport:AddSpawnCP("CP5","CP5SpawnPath")
herosupport:AddSpawnCP("CP6","CP6SpawnPath")
herosupport:Start()
else
end [/code]

This is part of what makes sure AI heroes don't show up (and mess up) multiplayer. Note also that you're redefining your CPs here as well as their spawnpaths.

You need a second "end" at the end.

Ok, it works now, thanks. The heroes do not spawn, though.

Are you getting hero support units available? Are you sure you entered the spawn path names correctly?

I am getting the hero support units, and the spawn path names should be correct since I copied them from my galactic civil war lua, and the hero support works with that.

You have parentheses around herostrAll and herostrEmp in the HeroSupport setup. You should not.

You mean quotation marks? I removed them and the heroes do now show up, so thanks.


However, I tried to add CTF modes to all eras, and now my map name or description does not show up in the menu. Also, when I try to play CTF on any era, I get a FATAL error. I have added game modes manually in the past, so I don't know what could be wrong. I added a new game mode in ZE called CTF, and new layer called CTF, and set them up properly. I added all the required flag related stuff.

My addme lua may be to blame for the missing name and description: Here is galactic civil war lua ctf: As I said befroe, I have succeded in doing this in the past, so I have no idea what could be wrong.

Look some more; it doesn't look like your addme.lua has a problem, and a fatal error is usually only caused by a failure to add the correct script data. Make sure that the script "MI11_ctf" exists, and that it is loaded in the mission.req, and that it has a correct MI11_ctf.req file.

I would point out that your script you posted is also not a Dark Times script (although you may just not have added that part yet), but regardless the problem does not look like it is currently in either of the two scripts you posted.

The script I posted before is not meant to be a Dark Times script. I think this problem is completely unrelated to the Dark Times, as both GCW, and CW, as well as the Dark Times CTF modes crash.



The strange thing is, in the menu, the map name shows up as MI1%_%, or something like that.
