Release: Challenge map for Armor General Options

[Seth]

Hey guys,

since there was a bit of talk about the missing challenges, I thought I might be able to help out.

I made missions for all the generals not having one (or adapted existing ones from other mods), but never bothered to release it as a full package since I only fully have the IP rights to Ironside's, so at least I am releasing that one now. I last played it on ShW 1.1, but it should still work.

The problem: It needs to be coded into the game via campaign.ini, which I had done before but I lost the file on a disk failure. So you would have to do that part yourself.

As with all my missions: Do with it whatever you like, just give me credit and preferably change the filename if you plan to release your modified version.

So i gave it another try this weekend because i read somewhere that in order to add a new campaign map, you have to edit the file which sits in the User Data folder where you copy the maps into to make sure that the game knows where to pull the map from.

funny enough in that file therer are paths for both an american boss (called acmericamboss...lol) and a gla boss! Another evidence that they planned boss generals for each faction and not just the crappy iteration of Leang we got in the vanilla ZH.

Anyway...i copied the map into the maps folder, edited the file there to so the acmericanboss matched the Armor generals map path, edited the campaigns ini so granger would face ironside first.

The challenge actually loaded BUT i was facing a black screen! no nice introduction and taunting by Ironside but it does not spawn your hq and you cant play it.
Also when you try to load it in skirmish you get the introduction taunt and tour of his base but again no hq spawns.

EDIT: Got it to work! the Map has to go into (Shockwave)\Maps. then in the campaign ini you have to add a new one with GC_ArmorGeneral and the Bio Pos 11 and in the MapCache ini you have to rename the "acmericaboss" to "armorgeneral". The map loads and is playable! Nice workon the map seth
