can you tell how to set FOD cp to 300 and FOL to 200 on a 6 person multi player map. I already know how to get to cp options in worldbuilder.

[GothmogtheOrc]

In the GameData.ini file there are the CP limits.

On the T3A web site there is this tutorial on how to edit the CP limit if you need more info: GameData Tutorial

EDIT: or did you mean that you are making a new map and you want the CP limit different for just that map? If so, you'll probably need to make a map.ini file and change the cp limit that way... I don't think WB can edit the cp.

Basically all you do is label the file "map.ini" and inside it needs to contain this code:

GameData
  GoodCommandPointsMP56 = 200 	; 5-6 players
  EvilCommandPointsMP56 = 400 
End

Then stick that file in the same folder as your map "ApplicationData/Battle for Middle-earth/yourmap"... or whatever the file path is.

do you understand want im trying to do im trying to do this for a custum map.

[watsupcuz]

Yes he understands what u mean, he's saying instead of making a notepad ini for your map ini, copy a .ini file from you bmfe game and just delete the stuff in that and the right what u want.

[Bart]

won't make a difference. INI files are just plain text files
on top of that, opening a file and then saving it give the same result as creating it and then saving it

check out this list for WB tutorials, including one about map.ini:

If your talking about the sample map.ini, thats in coding. I put a copy in the WB bit but it got deleted I think

[dukejason]

how do i create a ini file so that i can change cp to my custum map

[Rob38]

You don't need to do any of that to change the cp in your map. Instead, open the scripts menu in WB and create a new script with the following conditions:

if true

Override command points for player ____  to total: ____ maximum:____

You'll find the override command points under the player scripts.

A note on map.ini files. You can't change the gamedata. It will not do anything

But you can't use scripts to change the FOL/FOD CP as far as I know. It is just per player.

[Rob38]

I'm sorry, but what does FOL and FOD mean?

[zimoo]

Forces of Light and Forces of Darkness.

[m@tt]

Forces of Light
Forces of Darkness

i.e goodies, baddies

[zimoo]

I know nothing of mapping, but couldn'y you use a script to determine which faction is being used by each player?

Althoguh a map.ini sounds much easier ^^

[m@tt]

You can, but as far as I know you have to a "If Player_X is Faction_Y" for each player and faction combo

[{IP}Sauron]

just set the script to "<All_Players>"

[GothmogtheOrc]

but that doesn't help with the FOL FOD issue, does it? It would just give all the guys the same CP.

-GothmogtheOrc

[{IP}Sauron]

ohh u mean u'll like to have difrent cp for fod and fol?

then i would say:

IF Player_* Is Faction Gondor
*OR* Player_* Is Faction Elves
*OR* Player_* Is Faction Dwarves

THEN Override command points for player_* to total: * maximum: *

ELSE  Override command points for player_* to total: * maximum: *

[m@tt]

Why the fuck did I not think of that????!!!
