| Here's a note before we get started: XXX only represents the 3 letter ID of your map, go into whatever your map's ID is] Step 1: Go into this directory (or whatever your mod tools are installed in): C:\BF2_ModTools\data_XXX\Common\scripts\XXX Make a copy of one of the con.lua files. It can be either one. Copy either XXXg_con or XXXc_con and rename that copy to XXXc_c. Step 2: Go into your map's common folder. Ex. C:\BF2_ModTools\Data_XXX\Common Open the mission.req (it'd be a good idea to make a backup before proceeding). Go to this area: - Code:
-
REQN
{
"lvl"
"XXXg_con"
"XXXc_con"
} Add in your new file. ("XXXc_c") It should now look like this: - Code:
-
REQN
{
"lvl"
"XXXc_c"
"XXXg_con"
"XXXc_con"
}
}
Save and close. Step 3: Go back to C:\BF2_ModTools\Data_XXX\Common and go into the mission folder. Find your map's .req files and copy one of them (XXXg_con or XXXc_con). Rename that new copy to XXXc_c. Open XXXc_c.req and make sure it looks like this: - Code:
-
ucft
{
REQN
{
"config"
"cor_movies"
}
REQN
{
"script"
"XXXc_c"
}
}
Save and close. Step 4: Go to C:\BF2_ModTools\data_XXX\addme and open the addme.lua. Go to this area: - Code:
-
sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = { isModLevel = 1, mapluafile = "XXX%s_%s", era_g = 1, era_c = 1, mode_con_g = 1, mode_con_c = 1,}
mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)
mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1]
Add this to it. - Code:
-
mode_c_c = 1 Right between era_c = 1 and mode_con_g = 1, so now it should look like this. - Code:
-
sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = { isModLevel = 1, mapluafile = "XXX%s_%s", era_g = 1, era_c = 1, mode_c_c = 1, mode_con_g = 1, mode_con_c = 1,}
mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)
mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = { isModLevel = 1, mapluafile = "XXX%s_%s", era_c = 1, mode_con_c = 1,}
-- mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] Got it? Great, now go here to this section in the same file. - Code:
-
AddDownloadableContent("XXX","XXXg_con",4)
AddDownloadableContent("XXX","XXXc_con",4)
Add this line right above them: - Code:
-
AddDownloadableContent("XXX","XXXc_c",4) It should now look like this: - Code:
-
AddDownloadableContent("XXX","XXXc_c",4)
AddDownloadableContent("XXX","XXXg_con",4)
AddDownloadableContent("XXX","XXXc_con",4) Your entire addme should look like this: - Code:
-
--Search through the missionlist to find a map that matches mapName,
--then insert the new flags into said entry.
--Use this when you know the map already exists, but this content patch is just
--adding new gamemodes (otherwise you should just add whole new entries to the missionlist)
function AddNewGameModes(missionList, mapName, newFlags)
for i, mission in missionList do
if mission.mapluafile == mapName then
for flag, value in pairs(newFlags) do
mission[flag] = value
end
end
end
end
--insert totally new maps here:
local sp_n = 0
local mp_n = 0
sp_n = table.getn(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents)
sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = { isModLevel = 1, mapluafile = "XXX%s_%s", era_g = 1, era_c = 1, mode_c_c = 1, mode_con_g = 1, mode_con_c = 1,}
mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)
mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = { isModLevel = 1, mapluafile = "XXX%s_%s", era_c = 1, mode_con_c = 1,}
-- mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1]
-- associate this mission name with the current downloadable content directory
-- (this tells the engine which maps are downloaded, so you need to include all new mission lua's here)
-- first arg: mapluafile from above
-- second arg: mission script name
-- third arg: level memory modifier. the arg to LuaScript.cpp: DEFAULT_MODEL_MEMORY_PLUS(x)
AddDownloadableContent("XXX","XXXc_c",4)
AddDownloadableContent("XXX","XXXg_con",4)
AddDownloadableContent("XXX","XXXc_con",4)
-- all done
newEntry = nil
n = nil
-- Now load our core.lvl into the shell to add our localize keys
ReadDataFile("..\\..\\addon\\XXX\\data\\_LVL_PC\\core.lvl")
Now save and close. Munge and test. If all goes well, it should show up in the Instant Action menu as a selection! Congratulations, Commanders! You just added a campaign to your map. Next lesson soon! |
