Use this format to specify date of mission. WorldObjectsData=campaign/maps/norwegian_sea_world_objectsĭatabase of world objects, such as ports, to be generated if combat occurs near them. Reference to the data used to generate terrain. MapElevationData=campaign/images/maps/norwegian_sea_bathymetry Reference to the navigation map which contains land, seasonal ice coverage, biome and water transmission data. The pixel coordinates of the world map where the mission occurs. Specifies use of terrain and ice for this mission (TRUE/FALSE).
When creating these new files, you may want to copy/paste existing mission files to use as a template. This new line is #5 so the new mission number will be 005.Ĭreate a file in "language/mission/" folder called "mission005" containing the language portion and background image reference.Ĭreate a file in the parent folder called "mission005" containing the mission file data. In the parent folder, this file contains all the mission parameters as outlined below.įor example if there are 4 missions already listed in "language/mission/missions_single":Īdd a new line to the bottom called "Mission Example". When creating a new mission, create a new file called "missionXXX" where XXX corresponds to the position of this mission in the "language/mission/missions_single" list. The menu of Single Missions is built from this list.Ĭontains the language portion of the mission including the briefing as well as the location.Īlso contains a reference to the background image. For example the third mission in the list would have the number "003". To add a new mission, add a new title for it to this list.Īll mission names in this list correspond to two missionXXX files (one in the parent directory and one in the languages/mission folder) where XXX is a 3 digit number and represents the position of the mission in this list. This is a list of all single mission titles. When editing missions, coordinates in world units can be specified. You will not find this file in your default or override directory as it is built directly into the game. The second line references the navigation map data which is an internal TGA file (note no file extension). You can find this file by navigating to "campaign/maps/norwegian_sea_chart" yourself. The first line references either the default or override folder for an external PNG file (note the file extension) to draw the sea chart. MapNavigationData=campaign/images/maps/norwegian_sea_navmap MapImage=campaign/maps/norwegian_sea_chart.png When specifying a reference to an image in either the default or override folder, FILE EXTENSIONS MUST BE SPECIFIED.įor example the file "campaign/campaign001/camapign_data" contains these two lines near the top: When specifying a reference to an internal image, FILE EXTENSIONS ARE NOT SPECIFIED. Supported image formats are PNG and JPG only.
Whether you edit default or override is up to you, but we recommend editing the override folder in order to keep your default content safe and for use as templates. Do not attempt to modify anything outside these folders as the game cannot access it. When discussing modding of Cold Waters, both the default and override directories are considered the "parent" folder. Internal files cannot be modified, but references to the various internal files can be changed. So files in the override folder are always checked for and used first.įinally internal files are used. If the override folder is not present, create a new folder yourself called "override" in the same folder as default. When loading game content, Cold Waters looks in 3 places in the following order for game content: Mac: ColdWaters.app/Contents/DataResources/Data/StreamingAssets/default PC: ColdWaters_Data/StreamingAssets/default
If you corrupt your default folder, simply delete it and re-download from Steam.ĭefault folder location is inside the Cold Waters installation directory Before beginning, we recommend backing up your "default" folder to a safe location. Then build on from there.Ĭold Waters supports significant modding. Choose a simpler topic you want to work on (campaigns not recommended initially), read up on it and then experiment by changing one parameter/element at a time to see how it effects the game. While the amount and complexity of the content within this guide might appear overwhelming at first, don't be alarmed. This document is a work in progress and will be expanded upon over time.Īlso be sure to back up the edits you make to a safe location as currently we are unsure if/how the Steam auto-update feature might impact the override folder contents.
