User modifications / Re: Error after editing maps.ufo

« on: July 10, 2012, 04:02:29 am »

FYI, I resolved the error myself.

I decided to make a copy of the original maps.ufo file and retain it in the pk3 file. I named this copy "maps.original.ufo". I would imagine that the loader just checks for a string that matches the pattern (here, "maps") before the first period. Thus, my guess is it was loading the first maps.ufo file then also attempting to load the maps.original.ufo file. I can't be certain but that's my guess.

Hope this helps anyone who encounters this error in the future.

User modifications / Error after editing maps.ufo

« on: July 10, 2012, 01:57:25 am »

Hello,

I followed the instructions in the scripting section on how to remove a map from my campaign. I simply changed the campaign bool value to false, and went on about my business.

However, after trying to start the game I get this error:

Com_ParseMapDefinition: Max mapdef hit

This error is confusing because all I did was edit one line.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

FYI, I was reading in the modding forum and saw at the bottom of the scripting instructions this note:

How can I make a certain map stop appearing in my campaign?
The maps are defined in /base/ufos/maps.ufo. To prevent a map from appearing in the campaign, add a campaign parameter set to false. Our wiki contains further details on base building parameters.

Thus, I will move all further questions on this matter to the User Modifications forum.

Thank You,

Discussion / How to remove a map from the game?

« on: July 09, 2012, 10:55:52 pm »

Is it possible to remove a map from the game in my personal install? I am not suggesting you all change the game, just wondering if I can somehow edit the game so that I can never ever play the mansion map again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may belong in another forum, if so I apologize.

Thanks,
