How to create new scenario/mission
Revision as of 13:25, 25 October 2021 by Polarski.nepos (talk | contribs) (→Map vs Mission definition, Map editor vs Definition editor)
This manual is intended for the new reworked map editor. Not release yet, but you can already try it in the Steam beta branch. Currently it's the recommended way how to create the new maps.
Custom maps and mods
- All new or changed data (including new missions) are distributed and managed through the mods.
- Note: All scenarios are in fact missions without a campaign, so we will refer all new maps as a missions.
- Although working with the map editor won't require you to work directly with the raw mod data, the user should know the basic of how the mods work.
- See Quick Start & Modding Basics
