Design guideline for creating new LWM scenarios - Crossroads - 06-30-2012 Scenario designers welcomed - please join in!  SIMPLE GUIDELINES FOR CREATING NEW LWM SCENARIOS As agreed in a separate discussion, the consensus was to treat any scenarios created with Lapland War Mod as regular East Front scenarios as far as the Blitz Ladder was concerned: https://www.theblitz.club/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=62027 Some selected quotes: (06-14-2012, 01:17 PM)junk2drive Wrote: I think the main thing is to prevent people from trying to play a scenario that requires additional files in order to work.

Even if western allied units are included to make hypothetical scenarios it is still East Front? (06-14-2012, 10:37 PM)Kool Kat Wrote: Gents: So, regular EF scenarios they are! With the above in mind, I'd like to offer a very basic guideline to maintain the LWM flavour to new scenarios and may there be many of them! (1) All file names should begin with a lwm_ prefix, to separate them from stock scenario files. - For an example: lwm_hango.oob, lwm_hango.map, lwm_hango.scn, lwm_hango.bmp (I know: I messed up with my ** Enforcing The Line file names as I got them the other way around...). (2) All scenario names should end with 'LWM' + [version number]. - For an example: ** Crusaders at Hango LWM 1.1 (3) A new thread should be created for this LWM sub-forum for each scenario. - To allow for feedback, comments and discussion, and to keep the place alive. (4) Scenario descriptions should remind playing the scenario requires the mod installed. [Hango, Finland, some 120 km from Helsinki]: [H2H][FIC][ALL: N VV, (AF optional)] [Requires players to install Lapland War Mod version 1.1 or newer] (5) Possibly making a wish for new scenarios to be continued to have a name in alphabetical order. A bit of an inside joke, really... - At the time of writing this, the next scenario would then need to start with "F". This is optional however  -- That's it, pretty much? -- Otherwise, just follow the existing CS scenario design and naming conventions as set up in the H2H section! https://www.theblitz.club/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=55269 SCENARIOS AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF WRITING THIS ** Across River Vuoksi LWM 1.1 ** Bitter Kuuterselka LWM 1.1 ** Crusaders At Hango LWM 1.1 ** Delaying Action At Ylimaa LWM 1.1 ** Enforcing The Line LWM 1.1 All included in LWM 1.1 Scenario Pack A download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/82769465/LWM%20%201.1a%20SCENARIO%20PACKAGE.zip |
