Hello,

i am relatively new to the mapmaking and i am playing currently around with SCAR scricting.
i have found alot of usefull scripts allready but i am a little confused, maybe you guys can help me out.

1. When i create a map in WB and save it, the whole package(SGB) will be saved. During the saving
WB creates a "Mapname_ID.SCAR" file inside the Folder.

whenever i save again all the content (That i put in) in the "Mapname_ID.SCAR file" will be
gone again. i can live with that, which means, i should edit the file only, when my map in WB
is completely done. OK

2. alot of the Tipps here in the forums say, that i should create a .SCAR file inside the (SGB)
map folder, where i can put the scripts in. Are these Tipps refering to the Mapname_ID.SCAR file
OR should i create a second SCAR file (Mapname.SCAR) and put all the scripts there ?

Thanks in advance for the help

From my understanding, the current method is to put all custom script in
MapName.SCAR

Using MapName_ID.SCAR was the old method, it still "works", but is not recommended.

Thank you for your answer. Your understanding seems to be correct.
My script works and i still can save the SGB and WB doesn't touch my "Mapname.SCAR" anymore.

Great !!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!

SHOUT IT OUT!

LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet?

Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good.

Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
