Custom Era for Non Stock Map?

Post by modmaster13 »

Hey guys, so I'm trying to add my own custom Clone War Era mod to my own Rhen Var Harbor conversion, but I'm having some problems getting it to work. I think I'm messing up in the addme for my mod project but I could be wrong.

My addme file:
Hidden/Spoiler:
--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 the new gamemodes or maps here for pre-existing maps:
AddNewGameModes(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents,
"end1%s_%s",
{era_a = 1, mode_con_a = 1,})
AddNewGameModes(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents,
"geo1%s_%s",
{era_a = 1, mode_con_a = 1,})
AddNewGameModes(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents,
"hot1%s_%s",
{era_a = 1, mode_con_a = 1,})
AddNewGameModes(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents,
"kas2%s_%s",
{era_a = 1, mode_con_a = 1,})
AddNewGameModes(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents,
"myg1%s_%s",
{era_a = 1, mode_con_a = 1,})
AddNewGameModes(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents,
"tat2%s_%s",
{era_a = 1, mode_con_a = 1,})
AddNewGameModes(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents,
"yav1%s_%s",
{era_a = 1, mode_con_a = 1,})

--insert totally new maps here:
local sp_n = 0
local mp_n = 0

sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = { isModLevel = 1, mapluafile = "RVH%s_%s", era_a = 1, mode_con_a = 1,}
mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)
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("END1","end1a_con",4)
AddDownloadableContent("GEO1","geo1a_con",4)
AddDownloadableContent("GEO1","hot1a_con",4)
AddDownloadableContent("GEO1","kas2a_con",4)
AddDownloadableContent("MYG1","myg1a_con",4)
AddDownloadableContent("YAV1","tat2a_con",4)
AddDownloadableContent("YAV1","yav1a_con",4)
AddDownloadableContent("RVH","RVHa_con",4)

-- all done
newEntry = nil
n = nil

-- Now load our core.lvl into the shell to add our localize keys
ReadDataFile("..\\..\\addon\\MOD\\data\\_LVL_PC\\core.lvl")
When I launch BF2, the map "Rhen Var Harbor is listed twice for some reason under the map selection, when I go to select conquest and my era mod, the match gets added to the playlist twice. I can load up the game and select my units, but I can't spawn in. If someone could please help me with this, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
