single player survival scenarios

[MesaDon]

I like the new feature the single player survival scenarios but it would be nice to have one for the Brits, the Italians, and maybe a series done by year that would limit the units by that period of the war. North Africa one would be nice too. I guess I am in a Give me, Give me mood. What do you all think? The concept is pretty limitless.

The script is actually built to be modular. That is, all you need to do to construct such a scenario, once you have picked or built a map, is to copy the scenario script and alter the 'entry' points for the enemy, and then change some strings to choose the units which will be attacking.

Happy to do a quick talk through if it's something you would be interested in.

Cheers

It would be interesting to do since I like the idea of the random units to battle against. Finally got the units to attack in the editor creations thanks to your last tutorial so if you can keep it simple I might be able to do it. Would it need any other programs? Thanks for all the help in all the slitherine games ... my collection (think it is now 9 or 10) is taking over my computer time.

If you just want to add random units then you need nothing but a text editor.

I will put together a quick example of how to add random units to a script.

Thank you. Are text editors free downloads?

[pipfromslitherine]

You can do it with Notepad (which comes with Windows). We recommend Notepad++ which is a free download. If you check out the Tools section of the Engine Documentation (on the Modding Portal) it explains how to make it show syntax colouring and other helpers when you use it.
