Scenario creation

[Joubarbe]

Then make sure to copy your data and Graphics folder in a safe place. Modding in Armageddon is destructive, you directly overwrite original files.

I hope that creating new (MP) scenarios will be as easy as in PzC.

I have an error message when trying to open a custom scenario

ExpCode:0xC0000005
ExpFlags:0
ExpAddress:0x0069ABFD


Edit : I fix this one by changing the number slot of unit avaible ( the number of unit on map was superior than the slot limit )

----------------------

New problem, the map is black. I don't get it, it's a simple map with no tiles.

Ok now it works by adding Terrain tiles

---------------------

I don't know if it's " normal" but i have a lot of Crash ( runtime error )
Don't know why

[Joubarbe]

Did anyone succeed in making a valid scenario ? I still have the problem of not having any enemies. The "sides" are ok, but nothing works

@dadrunk : the crashes are probably caused by you

Question:

Untill the editor is more user friendly I would like to know if someone could create a scenario for me.
All I need is to see all units from all factions. I would like to know their ingame costs.

I'm working on a small tourney where players need to buy a core army (like on the TT) and play with it trough 3 battles.
More will follow later on.

@bram1979 : just open the ...data\unittypes.whdat with excel. You'll see the costs in a lot more efficient way.

Thanks dude that is far more easier

Can someone, a developer maybe, answer my previous question about the sides and the fact that I have no enemies ? I really need to make a showcase scenario to demonstrate my rules (and The Codexificator !)

EDIT : look how cute he is :

[bram1979]

It looks really cool but what are the ingame stats?

[Joubarbe]

Holy cow, shift-left click on a unit... (to choose the side)
I love how developers hide the important stuff ))

Jehaa, looks like it's going to be a great tool Joubarbe! I just could alter an existing scenario (see my Tau mod) and save it with a different name. Orks and Imps still battling each other, so sides work in altered scenarios.

Got a basic guide up:

If you still have questions now, let me know and I'll try to answer them!

There's another scenario forum for this, I did not check the post dates so perhaps that one is more recent. Also, I posted a youtube on basic scenario creation. It's a bit dull, but it's my first video, with more to come!
