* Empty string or "-" means no sound is played. Also if the item is missing in the array at all no sample will be played for given sound.
 
−
* Path to event in bank ("''bank_path#event_name''") which directly specifies event sample. Advantage of this direct approach is simplicity and readability.
 
−
* Path to sound reference file ("''*.soundref''") file where path to bank and sound event is written. This indirection supports easier modding if you only need link another sound without actually touching sound banks.

In our data, the basic mechanism is that accessories of given type share "''sound.sui''" file that contains mentioned '''sounds''' array. In array are links to shared soundrefs or to unique soundrefs, and in them are names of specific banks and events. This can be modded by many ways and on many levels. First, you can directly change the accessory file (eg make own sound set for the given accessory). Or you can change content of shared "''sound.sui''" (eg to change all sound for given accessory group without actually touching the accessory itself which will make mod more compatible with future updates). Or you can mod a single sound just by modifying its soundref (both shared or unique sounds). Or you can change sample in bank.

Introduction

The following page contains modding guidelines for the new update of the game.

To better understand changes in units it is recommended to check Units documentation page.

Recommendations

  • When basing your model on the original ones, add to your mod also ALL original /automat/ files used by it. The names of the files are generated as CityHash64 hash of theirs content so whenever we change the parameters of the material in any way, a different file will be used to store them and the original file might cease to exist if there is no other model utilizing the original parameters.
  • When modifying original models, always include ALL components of the model (pmg+pmd) instead of just those you changed. Otherwise you risk crash if we change the model.
  • As always when adding new objects to files which support multi-file approach (e.g. road_look.sii) it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to use suffix or prefix in the name to avoid conflicts with new objects we are adding in patches. Otherwise you might have to use the batch renaming functionality (see Batch renaming) to fix the conflicts when new patch appears.

How to convert map

  • Load map
  • Do rebuild (F8)
  • Save map
