How do you make a new campaign?

Post by Warzone 2120 »

I have finished the campaign twice and have nearly completed the hardcore campaign. the campaign is now getting very very BORING!!! :lol2: That now brings me to my question. how do you make a completely new campaign with new textures, weapons and a completely different plot? I already have a few ideas for a campaign and weapons but i don't know how to make a campaign. please help me!!! :augh: I'm so sick of the boring old campaign.
Omega Campaign
The Story
you control team Omega. a top secret, special ops sent to Antarctica after the defeat of NEXUS to investigate strange radio signals. we believe that NEXUS is responsible. only the commander knows about this mission so don't expect any support. you will be transported to the Ross Ice Shelf during the long Antarctic winter when the ice is the thickest.
Technologies
all technologies from Alpha and Beta campaign are unlocked to start with.
Weapons
Black Ice Cannon-(light, medium and heavy)(unofficial name) this weapon will launch razor sharp ice beams that can freeze enemies temporarily. the beam will be invisible except for a faint trail. strong against tanks and cyborgs, weak against buildings.
Nano Laser- launches a small red beam which incinerates the enemy. strong against cyborgs and buildings, weak against tanks.
these are only a few of my ideas

Please tell me what you think. :?

You would have to learn lots of stuff in order to be able to do this.

There is no easy way to make campaigns, and it will be lots of hard work, and learning Warzone's scripting language, and how to edit pie files for the gfx.

In short, unless you have lots of time, or are willing to work hard, or have others help you, then well... good luck. :)

For starters, unzip the base.wz file, and look around, everything is in there, all the warzone scripts, and the missions, and how they do everything.

Check out some of the other mods people have done, and at least that will point you in the correct direction.
and it ends here.

:lecture: Have a look over there:

...

I am completely re-writing the campaign script to allow modders/mappers to create a new version of the Alpha Campaign on their own in an easy way: creating the maps and modifying few parameters on the missions.vlo files only.

...

I am now asking the warzone modders/mappers community to contribute and to help me to finish the whole campaign which could then be used as template to create furthers new campaigns.
