Trouble conning the user

Technic Al · 03-23-2009, 07:20 PM

I'm trying to make a group file for the outstanding ROCH series. Ive renamed all the maps and edited the CON file as follows.

definevolumename 0 ROCH
definevolumename 1 LUNAR APOCALYPSE
definevolumename 2 SHRAPNEL CITY
definevolumename 3 THE BIRTH

definelevelname 0 0 ROCH01.map 01:45 00:53 Roch 1
definelevelname 0 1 ROCH02.map 05:10 03:21 Roch 2
definelevelname 0 2 ROCH03.map 05:35 03:41 Roch 3
definelevelname 0 3 ROCH04.map 07:20 04:40 Roch 4
definelevelname 0 4 ROCH05.map 09:10 05:00 Roch 5
etc....

I then grouped the files using Group File Studio then told the Batch file to include this

It don't work

Any ideas ??

Thanks in Advance

You are making this too complicated. All you have to do is put a copy of your altered USER.CON at the root level of your eduke folder. It will load automatically.

That seems to work a treat but as I have a load of TCs in the same directory I will keep at it so that they all live in one group

Ok the trick seems to be to include your new USER.CON file edited as above in the group file but maintain the original Name ie USER.CON all of which seems to work a treat now all I have to do is get the proper episode names and music proper to each level.

Did you create a bat file?

EDIT: You posted as I posted, so ignore this.

Why did you remove episode 1? Its perfectly possible to add more episodes to the game.

Dear All

Thanks for all the help as you can see I managed to sort the issue.

From what I can see the actual episode number makes no difference whether it starts with 1 or 0. The Idea behind all of this it is so that I can create a custom set of games incorporating say EP1 Roch, EP2 WGee Space, EP3 etc etc.

Also some of the games are easier if you have weapons etc acquired in earlier games. Its also nice to have the music selected by the author all packaged with each particular game.

Also if all of the Defs Cons and tile changes are grouped together in one .grp and that group is referenced via one BAT file then many game groups can be kept in one directory. This makes it a lot easier when eduke32 is updated (like every day) as only one directory update is necessary

I cant help being anal

Cheers
