How to find map file associated with cam mission?

[aubergine]

Hi - anyone know how I can work out what map file is associated with a campaign mission?

[Goth Zagog-Thou]

FlaME will open almost ALL the .gam files from base.wz . Usually you'll have to select the tileset, but you'll definetely know which one is correct.

So, unzip base.wz into another folder (I usually unzip it into a new folder on my Desktop), go into the wrf folder, then cam1, cam2, or cam3. They're all right there.

Yup - I can see the maps, but what I'm after is knowing which map is used for which mission, or more specifically, in which file does that get defined.

Initially I just want this info (mission --> map) for the wzpedia as I want to start adding annotated map satellite images to the info I put there.

But, as I learn more about cam structure I want to start documenting how the cams are constructed from a modder perspective.

Only 3 maps are used for all the campaign missions with maps being partitioned / bounded through the use of scroll limits in the editor as well the data sets (Campaign Data Sets to work with / Arizona = 1, Urban = 2, Mountain = 3) with all this defined in the .gam file. That's how I remember it. There's much more to the structure which Goth is better able to speak to.

There's a few more maps than that due to the away-missions

madinca88 recently provided me with satellite images of all the major maps in the campaign and a few others, they are in the gallery here: https://warzone.atlassian.net/wiki/disp ... llite+Maps

Here's an example of an annotated map for one of the locations in cam2: https://warzone.atlassian.net/wiki/disp ... nment+Camp

Ahh, yes the aways.... stand corrected. Don't recall how many of those there where? Would you need more than 3 with partitioning, I wonder?

data/base/gamedesc.lev, and maybe the referenced wrf files.

gamedesc.lev is what you're looking for. The only problem is the mission names are not very human friendly

[aubergine]

Yup, I'm going to make a list of which mission id relates to which mission name and map so hopefully cross-referencing them in future will be a little easier.
