Thread: Kingdoms Custom Battle Maps

    Default Kingdoms Custom Battle Maps

    Is there any way for me to transfer over the Custom Battle maps from Kingdoms into Vanilla/Retrofit?

    I've tried copying and pasting the folders over but they don't transfer over properly. For example, the Beach Landing map from Britannia loses the norse longboats and a lot of other maps terrain gets mixed up. Deserts and palm trees in Britannia, etc.

    You probably have to figure out which models are missing and move them too.

    You have to copy over the danish longboat files from the settlements and blockset folders aswell. And you'll have to enter the coordinates of a tile in the british isles in the grand campaign in descr_battle
    Grand Campaign: Extended - Adding Kingdoms content to the Grand Campaign.

    Thanks guys, one other question. I've made the Saxons playable in custom battle for vanilla and retrofit, is there a simple way to get them to show up for Kingdoms custom battle selection?

    Yes, by changing the entry in the descr_sm factions file in Kingdoms from:

    custom map availability no
    custom map availability yes

    That's all!

    I have a custom map problem. I think I downloaded some part of a mod long ago but I can't remember what or when or anything ... But I think I do not have the vanilla maps anymore ...

    Where are these files stored ? Which file commands them. And wich file commands all the custom battle selection pannel ? Where you choose the season and the amount of money ?

    Thanks

    The vanilla custom battle map files are in two folders:

    historic - data\world\maps\battle\custom (Agincourt, Hastings etc)
    custom - data\world\maps\custom (Arsuf, Tannenberg)

    They are not backed up by the pack files, deleting them will mean only a re-install will recover them.

    The battle selection page layout is defined by data\menu\mt2w.lnt
    Nearly all of the available info and choices on display is defined by a number of other files, the only 'free' input is the money available. Weather and season are presets in historic battles and a matter of being enabled or not in the custom battles.
