ok i have a question, how do you add a mode to a game,

like if I made a map only for conquest and I wanted to add eli mode, how do i do that? I added the lua for the mode from teh backup to scripts but that doesnt do it. is this possible to do?

To add a mode you need to make changes to the addme.lua, .req files, generate the mode's luas, and assign a layers to the mode in ZeroEdit.

You also have to add a mode req. Look in data_[mapname]/common/mission for an example.

Did you add both mode_eli_g = 1 and the AddDownloadableContent? (or whatever it is, search for _con -- you'll see it at the bottom of addme.lua)

Essentially you have to

1-add it to mission.req
2-do both steps in addme.lua
3-create a new req in common/mission

What is a req file?

Seached through all of the documentation, didn't say a word, seached through these forums, didn't find anythinng, along with OPTION files. If anyone could tell me what these are thanks.

ask in another topic.

You mean make a whole brand new topic just to find out what a single file is? I don't think so. Waste of forum space.
