Project: New Skirmish map - Onslaught - COMPLETED April 1st 2015

Judas

Okay. First I'm going to try to add a new map to the list.

Used Mb's Extractor to extract .txt from a .bin file. I'm going to use m_contrl.bin as the original file.
Added m_onslght.txt to the /data folder.
Created/copied m_contrl.arb and .psd and changed them to m_onslght.arb and psd.
Added m_onslght behind Joust in the scninfo.dat file

Added m_onslght.scn to Mach1.met

  TERRAIN control IDS 8299 TEXT sk_cont.txt
  	SCENARIO m_onslght PLANET m_onslght IDS 8399 TEXT m_onslght.txt MUSIC 5
  ENDTERRAIN

Don't know what IDS I should enter tho. Or is this the file where you define them in the first place?

Result:
No map added yet :( More tweaking required

Now I've changed //Special to the following:

//	SPECIAL
	TERRAIN interior IDS 8207 TEXT sk_space.txt
		SCENARIO sk_space PLANET space IDS 8321 TEXT space1.txt MUSIC 11
			ENDTERRAIN
	TERRAIN home IDS 8209 TEXT joust.txt
		SCENARIO joust PLANET joust IDS 8360 TEXT joust1.txt 	MUSIC 9
		SCENARIO m_onslght PLANET m_onslght IDS 8399 TEXT m_onslght.txt MUSIC 5
	ENDTERRAIN
	TERRAIN control IDS 8208 TEXT sk_cont.txt
		SCENARIO m_onslght PLANET m_onslght IDS 8399 TEXT m_onslght.txt MUSIC 5
	ENDTERRAIN
END

Let's see where the error is.

Result
It doesn't seem to get added at all, so I must be doing something wrong with replacing the old scninfo.dat files somehow.

Update:
I keep deleting things but the list just doesn't seem to update :s

Update:
Can't seem to update anything at all. Not even Mb's mod is doing anything. Whaaaa?

Update:
:(

Update:
I have to read this:
http://wiredforwar.wikia.com/wiki/Map_making_tutorial

AvionAris

...you returned. Wow. My hat's off to ya, you're our modder.

mb

@Judas nice to see you again! I remember you from old wiredforwar.org (2007) .

IDS are string ID stored in machstrg.dll (you can edit this file with programs like Resource Hacker). It must be valid ID that exist in machstrg.dll.

sceninfo.dat must be in data/
savegame/playinfo.bin must be deleted after each change in sceninfo.dat
pdata/sceninfo.bin must be deleted after each change in sceninfo.dat

If you are using Windows above XP, this files can be duplicated in VirtualStore (%userprofile%\Appdata\local\Virtual Store\Program Files).

Judas

Cool! Thanks!

Okay.

Step 1:
Downloaded Resource Hacker

Step 2: Opened Machstrng.dll and opened folder 524 / 2057 (We should save this entire table somewhere so we can reserve ID's for the future)

STRINGTABLE
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_UK
{
8368, 	"Ice Moon Maze - Day/Night"
8369, 	"Ice Moon Mountain - Day/Night"
8370, 	"Central Dominance - Day/Night"
8371, 	"King of the Castle - Day/Night"
8372, 	"Island Skirmish - Day/Night"
8373, 	"Oasis - Day/Night"
8374, 	"Onslaught"
}

Added my map with ID 8374

Step 3: Savegame/playinfo.bin? I never get anything there I believe :s

Let's see...

Nothing. Waaat... Hmm

I put this in the scninfo.dat which I placed in /Data

TERRAIN desert IDS 8200 TEXT mdesert.txt
SCENARIO m_desert PLANET m_desert IDS 8346 TEXT mdesert.txt MUSIC 8
SCENARIO daynight PLANET daynight IDS 8347 TEXT daynight.txt MUSIC 10
SCENARIO m_onslght PLANET m_onslght IDS 8374 TEXT m_onslght.txt 	MUSIC 9
ENDTERRAIN

Nothing.

Update: Finally, some love. A crash, but it's better than nothing.

Update: And now it won't stop crashing. ugh.

Update: Re-installing entire Machines folder. Hehe. Got to go to the gym. Will work more on it tonight

mb

If you are playing then Machines/Savegame/playinfo.bin must exist. As well as save*.sav files.

I suspect that your savegame/ can be in VirtualStore. VirtualStore is a special folder under user settings, take a look at http://www.interworks.com/blogs/dsmith/2011/09/21/disabling-windows-7-virtual-store

Another thing: this procedure was tested only on Machines with "XP Patch".

Judas

I was supposed to go to the gym

upload-76a97e86-af1c-46d0-9ac5-c82cbd6aa0a4

But I love you.

INDEED it was 'C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Machines' wherein the files were hidden. I smote them all and now it WORKS!

Alright. Now I'm going to set the map to the correct settings

Update:
upload-4a7d48f8-ce8f-4654-87aa-48e57b82dc64
Does crash tho. (Prolly cause there's nothing in the map!)

Judas

I changed m_control.scn to m_onslaught.scn and changed the .spl files to m_onslaught_r.spl, b, y & g. No other changes. Also, it crashed on scenario load. But this should be fine.

Update: It actually crashes on any skirmishmap. Hmm

Judas

I reloaded the entire /pdata folder aaannddd:

upload-97ec698e-a594-445f-9ec2-d53239a87eef

So now:
Create Red's Base
Create Red's Mines

Using the m_onslaught.scn file above

But how will you find the X and Y coords?

Wellll:

Each pixel is 1 unit of distance. So 400x400 on the .JPG is 400x400 ingame. Easy placement!

mb

Good work.

I always had hope that someday someone will make some use from binex and psbex.

Judas

I'm so close. Somehow it just won't use the new .spl and .scn files I've created. Load bar is 50%

No Crash

TERRAIN control IDS 8208 TEXT sk_cont.txt
		SCENARIO m_contrl PLANET m_contrl IDS 8355 TEXT m_contrl.txt MUSIC 5
		SCENARIO m_contrl PLANET m_contrl IDS 8374 TEXT m_onslaught.txt MUSIC 5
	ENDTERRAIN

	ENDTERRAIN

Crash at 25%

	ENDTERRAIN

Which I find strange because I just copy-pasted all the m_control files and just renamed them :s

Which are the important files? The m_onslaught.scn in the Virtual Store or the m_onslaught.scn in the Mach1.met? How does that process go?

Judas

Fixed it!

I forgot to add m_onslaught to the Metafile.txt used to construct the Mach1.met file. I placed it in there and now it works.

Also explained why everythings crashed earlier. Because I the Metafile.txt wass... empty. So no AI or scenarios were loaded at all. Derp.

But now it works, so I can start on working the units locations... FINALLY

(Still wondering what the .scn and .spl files in the Virtual Store do though...)

More crashes, Enough for one night.

Didn't exactly get it to work. Somehow it just won't open m_onslaught.scn (I believe it was an old Sceninfo.bin file that allowed it to work the previous time). Did something wrong somewhere.

Will start anew with fresh m_control files renamed as m_onslaught tomorrow. That should work, right?

Judas

Fixed it!

What I did:

TERRAIN control IDS 8208 TEXT sk_cont.txt
		SCENARIO m_contrl PLANET m_contrl IDS 8355 TEXT m_contrl.txt MUSIC 5
		SCENARIO m_onslaught PLANET m_contrl IDS 8374 TEXT m_onslaught.txt MUSIC 5
	ENDTERRAIN

So the first one (Scenario) is m_onslaught and the Planet is still m_control. Derp.

Then it still crashed. So I:

Using a fresh Mach1.met file, I copy/pasted the m_control.scn file and renamed it m_onslaught (it still pointed to the old .spl files) - And it worked.
Quit game and edited a few of the buildings in seen below. It all seems to work just fine.

Steps / Files
Step 1:
machstrg.dll
Adds the required ID for the map (ID: 8374) - Place this in /Machines

Step 2:
sceninfo.dat
Place this in /data and remove the scninfo.bin file from /pdata.

Mach1.met is too large so:

Step 3:
m_onslaught.scn
Extract your Mach1.met file. Add the above file to /data and use the two files below with Metaex.exe:

Optional:
Don't know how to use cmd? Place this in the same folder as Metaex.exe:
Extract.bat and execute to extract with Metaex.exe

Step 4:
Txt file with all the files you want to load up (Including m_onslaught). Place alongside metaex.exe
mach1.met.txt

Step 5:
Uses above txt file to create a Newmach1.met file with all the required files. Place alongside metaex.exe.
Load.bat

Step 6:
Put the new Mach1.met file in the /Machines folder (always back up old one) and you should be ready to go!

Optional:
(Note: You might need to remove the Virtual store files, see above)

Nowwww..... It's time for adding some units I think!

You got to love the precision engineering the devs did

Stupid weird draw-distance. Does anybody know how to clear that up?

upload-e5cb135d-dc85-47f7-89e5-bd9ff8ceae37

(Yes. That's very, very far away with a very large camera)

Update: I'm going to use the building in the center to give the player a nice starting base. Recycling ftw

Liking the look of this.

Removed most of the other buildings again.
Centered Red Pod in middle of room.
All the weaponry in the middle room is Red.
Everything else is Green/Blue/Yellow (To make sure Red player doesn't start roaming or something.

Now I got to add the correct mines.

INTRODUCING: BAD BOY MK 1

I'm laughing my balls of because this Geolocator has 22.000 Health, a regenerative strength of 5 Armor PER SECOND and incredible speed and manouverability. I don't know how but he actually destroyed a turret (probably self-destructed when he saw that awesomeness)

Anyway. Gonna use it to scout all the mines. There are others ways but this is fun.

VirtualStore seems to be a place where standard accounts store temporary files when they don't have permission to overrwrite the current folder. Try and go to the current folder, find a "compatibility files" button.
If you have trouble just edit the security permissions of the Machines folder and check "Full control" for normal users. That should write files to the folder directly and not to the virtualstore.
Edit: Files in the VirtualStore are used first (higher priority) before whatever's in the current folder.

I didn't know you could do that. Does it just show it forever once you've located a mine?

What I do is use the scout to see all the mines on the minimap. The little toggle there allows you to switch between seeing units only, mines only or both. I then use that as a 'general guideline' on my larger maps (the very large .jpg minimap) I posted above. It's not exact, but it works.

Mine's are looking good! I'll also add in some goodies for the adventurous types.
