Converting Custom Edition scenario tags to PC

EchoRanger449 · Post by **EchoRanger449** » Thu Aug 28, 2008 4:32 am

This is pretty important to me because I'm trying to edit the script and scenario for the Silent Cartographer.

For what I mean, click here

So far all of my attempts have failed. I used Harbinger to covert the maps.
I've tried directly injecting the scnr files into the rest of my b30 rebuild. It didn't work- the game freezes as the map loads.

After converting the b30 map to PC, do I need to convert the header to b30 PC if I want to extract the scenario tag, or is the scenario tag not affected by the header?

1. Talk to Sword about that
2. Take a look at Conure's Scripting tools.
3. Make your own scnr tag
4. you cannot just reinject the scnr tag from one to anyother. Learn how it is structured first, and how everything is linked together first before you go injecting anything.

1.) I doubt I could get a hold of him
2.) I use Zteam's campaign script for b30 and Ender's hsc script program as well as sapien
3.) I did, watch my video.
4.) I know you can't. I'm rebuilding and replacing the default scenario tag with my own.

Give it a try, I sure that if you PM'd him on MacGamingMods, he would eventually get back to you. Ah, rebuilding the scnr tag can cause problems during injection. make sure you check all the linking first.

All the dependencies are right. I even compiled the map with the original script with nothing changed.

I just think it's odd that mac gamers can convert not just the scenario, but the entire map (CE maps) to demo. Altimit01 is another person I could ask, since he was the one responsible for Eschaton and Harbinger.

This isn't hard?

Just use hmt to extract the scenario tag, then pmi in all the dependencies and overwrite the current scenario tag. Then rebuild.

Oh yeah...it's for trial, but I said PC because I thought that the scenario tag (like most things with PC and trial) were the same kind of process. Yeah, the trial scenario file is "special" and I can't figure out how to "convert" the CE tag so it can read the scenario.

Trial because, well there are very few custom scripted campaign mods...and like none for trial
