Noobish mapping questions post here

[Pac-Fish]

After I made the map and clicked calculate voronoi I saved, opened up EF, and clicked skrimish game against comp. I checked the maps(ex: angoville(2)) and didn't see mine there. Was it b/c my initial map was a singleplayer map?

Change the map type in the Scenario Properties to multiplayer map and move all the files to

Code: [Select]

C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\ww2\Data\Scenarios\MP

My folder is call SP rather than MP(which is what you have I guess). Does that matter b/c I checked again in Skrimish maps(after I saved it to Skrimish/multiplayer) and it's not there. Sorry to bother you so much

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

You don't bother me. Just create the MP folder if it isn't already there. Then move your map files to the MP folder in order to make it accessable in skirmishes.

Thx for all the help. I got my map working and tested it versus comp. However once the game got under way I tried to build a building and it said must be in command territory. Apparently there was zero command territory anywhere and I was stuck fighting a Tier0 battle with doctrinal off-map units XD Luckily the map was small. How do you fix this . Also how come I can only open this map on EF, not regular CoH? Do I need to change a setting?

Edit: NVM I fixed the territry problem:P. But how do you get the map to play in vCOH?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

The Worldbuilder automatically uses the first module file from your COH directory when it creates/loads a map, so it has probably also used the Eastern_Front.module file for your map. If you take a look at the YOURMAP.info file, you'll see modname = "Eastern_Front" to the bottom.
You could try to change it to "RelicCOH" but I don't know if that works. Just try it.

1st Q: How do you access your directory?

2nd Q: How do you fid YOURMAP.info?

Sorry I'm so lost. I honestly am starting from the ground up(and from a DIY youtube video )

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

No problem, everyone started sometime, so did I (without tutorials ).

1) You can access your COH directory using the Windows Explorer, the default folder should be C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes.

2) You can find it when you view the location where your map is saved (now probably C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\WW2\Data\Scenarios\MP. I used YOURMAP as a placeholder for your maps real name (cause I don't know it).

Hey Maxi why don't you add Lehrter Bahnhof to your signature? I think it would be a good idea.

I still cant find my "YOURMAP.info" file(but I figured out how to find the directory). My file says YOURMAP.sgb. No idea what sgb stands for. Too confusing . This is why I'm not a developer XD.

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

I also don't know what sgb means, nevertheless, my mape has made it..
You have to have a .info file in there, there have to be following files:

YOURMAP.info
YOURMAP_id.scar
YOURMAP.sgb
YOURMAP_mm.tga
YOURMAP_tml.tga

BTW: Last post as Major.

I found the list of YOURMAP files. I forgot to set it to all files. But when I found them no where does it say Eastern_Front anywhere. WHere are you suppose to see it
 P.S. - Now your a "Mr.Spam"

You got it 

You have to open the YOURMAP.info file with the Editor. Then you can see a line that says 'modname = "Eastern_Front"'.

Do you mean Worldbuilder? I only mention this b/c it says unrecognized file type when I tried opening it up. BTW how do you make bridges? Or at least find them?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

I see, you're starting from the very very bottom.
By Editor I don't mean the Worldbuilder, I mean the text Editor that is generally included in every Windows copy.
Which OS do you use?

I didn't forget the bridges, I just delay it until we cleared your fist question.
