Hi!

I'm trying to make a new Single Player map, but this option is not avaible in my Map Builder.
Any ideas how to make it available? :)

Greetings

Hi Stafkeh.

I think you'll find that currently that option is not available to us yet.

You can extract and open Relic's SP maps. But again I don't think you can save them as an SP map.

I maybe wrong on this someone might be able to clarify better but with current version of world builder we are locked out of that option. Best of luck with your mapping. :thumb:

for all intents and purposes I can think of you can make a MP behave like a SP map.
Coud you clarify what you want to do and I can maybe tell you how.

I was interested in making a CoH2 campaign map. Of course I wanted to screw around first befor starting something for real.

Like when units kill in a specific area all enemy units, they get new resources, units, ...
Just some ideas ;)

But I want to decide with coding what the AI is doing. This will be very intensive part in coding, I know. But I would like to give it a shot :)

I saw this is possible with Lua. I couldnt try out anything yet, but if you could help me a hand, it would be greatly appreciated!

Ok. Let me begin saying that I have no experience with actually using SCAR, I know where to find all the information but it does have a big learning curve and most of my coding resulted in a fatal scar error :D

I'm gonna assume you have zero idea of anything so sorry if it is so obvious.

Requirements:
Notepad++
ScarDoc
Download or Online Copy
SGA Extractor v 1.2

First lets watch some tutorials by eliw00d at RelicNews (relicsnews is much more of a modders site than coh2 org and if you have questions they know a lot more than most here :P)
So you want to watch the SCAr vid but its better to start with the win condition and then the scar one (or just all of them)

Open the scar file in notepad++ and set the language to LUA

The best way is to start small and make it bigger and bigger.

If you want a more advanced look at scar files you should extract the campaing and tow files. Go to
Code
SteamApps\common\Company of Heroes 2\CoH2\Archives
and select SPScenariosEF or TOWScenarios if you're into that. Extract them with the extractor.

If you do you get an fatal scar go to
Code
My Documents\my games\company of heroes 2
open the warning file that has been modified last and search for fatal or error. the line that has the error will be reported there
