Script question.

[Nerzalar]

I am intending to make a global mod to exchange wich side uses wich textures when toggled on.

The only method I've found involves moving around a whole lot of textures in several folders and is a bit of work, so before I plunge into that I should probably ask:

Is there some nice script file or line of code somewhere I can change to make it load "blue" textures for side0 and vice-versa? It would make for a much smaller and
easier to make mod. x)

Couldn't be easier. There is absolutely no need to move textures around.

You will see that all of the reversed Epic Battle scenarios (the ones where Side A is on the right hand side) have the lines

Code: Select all

	ReSkinArmy(0, 1);
	ReSkinArmy(1, 1);

in their scenario scripts.

The 1 in the second parameter tells the game to reverse the usual texture allocations.

For custom and campaign battles, in the CustomiseUnits() function in SlithRandomMap2.BSF

You will find the lines

ReSkinArmy(0, reverse);
ReSkinArmy(1, reverse);

In your modded version, you would just need to set

Code: Select all

reverse = 1;

just prior to those lines if your reverse textures toggle is on.

Thank you for your time,

I'll test if this works for my use, as I want to make it a global mod if possible to activate when I want to change textures.
