How-To Add Multiple Local Sides via Hex Editing and Zeroeditor

[Snake]

Edit by buckler:  Snake, I think this was information that I posted.  Please reference me




Well, first off we will go over the Hex Editing way of doing this to already made maps:

HERE you will find an example .lua of an edited Theed to have 6 local sides. I am not too familiar with hex editing other than the basics so HERE you will find how to edit CP's via Hex Editing. You must have a Hex Editing tool and a little experience I'm sure.

Secondly, if you are making a map and you want to have multiple locals you must use the type of .lua that was mentioned above and also have all the correct CP's added. Double-check and make sure you have all the unit names and sides and all that good stuff.

Heres an example of adding just one Local side if you do not know how:

Make sure your CP's are labelled properly (CP3Label, CP12Label, CP3094589Label, etc.) The limit of how many local sides there can be is currently unknown.
