Larger battles and XL

[jangoisbaddest]

I have several questions. Please bear with me, as I HAVE searched the forums for this kind of thing, but haven't found much.

1) Is there any way to make the # of units larger on conquest or CTF? Because I tried upping the "units = xx" line in the LUA, AND upping the min/max for each class, and it accomplished nothing. Am I missing something?
2) How do you create the XL mode? Do you change the hero assault mode, or create a completely new LUA from scratch?
3) What CAN you do with the gamemodes already there as far as unit population? Because the instant action options (where you set the reinforcements etc. in the main menu just before you play) are player - controlled. What is the relationship between that and the LUA (does one override the other...)?

1. reinforcements = I believe this is the line you want to change...
units = how many on the field at one time.

we know that but the units bar doesnt work

Can't you just crank up the number in Instant Action settings while in-game? I thought you could (though it's not an XL option)

I just noticed a script in the levels with XL that reads "XXX1c_conxl" It appears that the conquest gamemode is selected, with command posts and all that, only in this one there are 64 units for each side instead of 32. perhaps investigating this will reveal how to up the unit count in conquest mode for our maps as well.

XL matches has 64 people? wow i didn't know that. i knew there were a lot but i only thought there were 32 people on the screen at once. thats really cool.

Right, but this is for conquest i think, for a greater number of units in that gamemode.

i don't think u can for conquest besides putting 32 in the options menu. for reinforcements u can just do the same. raise the reinforcements to a higher percentage if u want.

at the highest percentage u can have i think 750 reinforcements.

Dude I'm talking about Geonosis - it came with the game! It has a LUA file called "geo1c_conxl", and it has conquest paramiters as well as 64 untis on each side!
