[REQUEST] Select all maps button

[Kit Fisto]

Is there a way someone could create a "Select all maps and eras" button for the SWBFI instant action list? But keep the "play in random order" button?

[Viathan]

so that all maps and all "modes" are added to the session-list?
could be done with lua editing a sp.lua file (s.t. like ifs_sp_sessionlist.lua)
I'll try that the next days

Edit: could be the missionlist.lua (Shell script)

Yes and No. The button itself would be simple, but there is a cap on how many missions you can add to the list I think. Not sure what it is though.

[Viathan]

This what SK answered and modmaps would be the problem.
You have to find out what happens if you add a map to the list. To add these function to a new button would be makeable
But dont know what the limit is (maps in list) and how to add the modmaps into list

[Led]

You could probably just hard code all the stock maps to the button press.  No need to make it too complicated 

[Viathan]

Yes, that was my idea. So modmaps are not supported by this way.
And the sessionlimit is rly nice, ~74 maps you can add! 

[Viathan]

Well, after few minutes Lua coding, I've added a new Button to sessionlist:


It has no function yet. (looks bit weird, it's in german    )

For modders:
Add these lines to your ifs_missionselect.lua (Shell script)
atm I have no time to add a function, so feel free to use my button, maybe s.o. can finish it

(Change the button name, text or whatever you want)
[spoiler=LuaCode->ifs_missionselect.lua]

Code Select Expand


this.AddAllButton = NewClickableIFButton {
ScreenRelativeX = 0.699, -- position X
ScreenRelativeY = 0.825, -- position Y
rotY = this.listboxL.rotY, -- rotation (3D-effect)
x = this.listboxL.x + 23,
--y = this.listboxL.height / 2 + 11, --> forgot x)
y = this.listboxL.y + 5,
btnw = this.listboxL.width, -- > listboxL => left  and  listboxR = right
btnh = ScriptCB_GetFontHeight("gamefont_small"),
font = "gamefont_small",
tag = "addall", -- internal btn name f.e. functions
string = "add all maps", -- text
}

Without comments:

Code Select Expand


this.AddAllButton = NewClickableIFButton {
ScreenRelativeX = 0.699,
ScreenRelativeY = 0.825,
rotY = this.listboxL.rotY,
x = this.listboxL.x + 23,
--y = this.listboxL.height / 2 + 11,
y = this.listboxL.y + 5,
btnw = this.listboxL.width,
btnh = ScriptCB_GetFontHeight("gamefont_small"),
font = "gamefont_small",
tag = "addall",
string = "add all maps",
}

I have some ideas about that, I will test them from time to time

[Ltin]

I like ur button.
me gusta n' all that stuf'

[Viathan]

I like ur button.
me gusta n' all that stuf'

I think next week or next weekend I get first results 

[Kit Fisto]

How's the progress on this mini mod going?

[Viathan]

Ok, sry for the long waiting time.

The function to add one map to the list:

Code (lua) Select Expand


-- Adds the currently selected map to the maplist.
function ifs_missionselect_fnAddMap(this)
local Selection = missionselect_listbox_contents[missionselect_name_listboxL_layout.SelectedIdx]


So I think we have to write a completely new function to add all maps.
So it could be also possible to add all maps and modmaps if we can access the index of maps.

Im not as good as phobos or sleepkiller at lua, I'll post the scripts on pastebin so that we can develop together if you want.

ifs_missionselect.lua @ pastebin

This may help in your travels too.  I edit this one a lot in Mando Wars.

Code (lua) Select Expand


498.function ifs_missionselect_fnSetMapAndTeam(this,Selection,Team1Str,Team2Str)
499.        local SelectedMap = Selection.mapluafile .. this.AttackerChar
500.        local Side = 1 -- 1 or 2
501.        local SideChar = this.CurButton -- 'a' 'c' 'i' or 'r'
502.
