Localizing Map Names

[Led]

Hi Sleepkiller,

Thanks for looking into this.  Here are my beta test mission files and map names.  Sorry in advance if I spelled things wrong

I used the extension x in my map lua file names.

For example my first lua is called L0001x.

I did this for three reasons:
-cross era mods would not make sense to be A or C
-I plan the initial update plus two more updates, so I would have x, y, z as the last characters
-I had hoped we could have the x, y, or z interpreted as
x:  get your 1.0 update at SWBFgamers.com
y:  get your 1.1 update at SWBFgamers.com
z:  get your 1.2 update at SWBFgamers.com




Thanks

Awesome, I'll send you the files when I get it working.

-EDIT-

Regretably it appears SWBF does not react kindly to new era suffixes, it appears if we want them to have names their are two options.

1. Harres ex-pandemic devlopers into giving up the shell.lvl source scripts.
2. Change the era to a normal one.

[Led]

For fun, can you make them all "a" era for now, and try it?  (Maybe post a screen shot?)

The benefits of using standard eras may out weigh the reasons I chose the x designation.

Thanks!

[SleepKiller]

Well yeah, but I would kind of need your mission.lvl source so I could change the suffix on the end of the scripts.

I was tempted to post some screen shots of what was happening with x some of the bugs where quite ammusing.

[Led]

It would be interesting to see what it does

Maybe I could do a hex edit on a recompiled shell to look for x and the end instead of a, c, i, r

In any event, I made a new mission will "a" at the end, it is attached to this post.

[SleepKiller]

Screw everthing I just told you. I got it working as X after I tracked the problrm down to the new shell.lvl I was building, did the classic addme.lua trick. Worked fine. (Although its still not playable in singleplayer.)

EDIT: See download for Addme builder, place the folder in you BFBuilder directory for it to work properly.

[jdee-barc]

So you can have era "letters" other then a, c, r, and i? If this is true could you tell me what other letters work? (probably need for a kotor/tor era in my mod)

[SleepKiller]

All of them in theory, but only in multiplayer VIA Dedicated Server.

[hijack]BTW, jdee I'm having some success in that thing you wanted see attachment.[/hijack]
