A guy in our regiment made a BEAUTIFUL training map using Wallonian Farm as a template. There's one problem. All of the cavalry classes are locked on the map by default and we're a cavalry reg. Does anyone know how to fix this? (Sorry if this is a noob question.)

There must be a scene prop called mm_spawn_restrictions. Just delet it or set variations to 0.

Thanks! You're a map saver bro.

Hello, a friend of mine is working on a Siege Map. The problem is that he is editing the map "scp_mm_fort_refleax_night
" and when he removes all the stuff on the map and start the map again it all changes so it is day, and not night. He got no idea what causes this, and I do not know either. If there is anyone who knows how to fix this problem, please reply, me and my friend would be very grateful. Cheers

There is a scene prop called mm_time .. ofday or something like that. The value in var1 is hour of day. He either deleted that scene prop or changed value.

Thanks a lot mate. But could you give some more details? Like, if he wants it to be night do he put it var20 (20:00, 20nth hour on the day) or how does it really work?

When you go to edit the map set it to the gamemode "scene editing" and then look at game rules once you start the maps. The game rules will contain alot of useful information about scene editing. He deleted the "mm_time" prop which caused the game to automatically set time to day.

He can spend two minutes testing and find out by himself. All he has to do is try putting a value, lets say 20, then click Start Map from admin menu and he'll see the effect if any. I think value that should go there is in 0-24 format but not sure.

How do you go about editing the edge, or border of the map to an Ocean.

I'm going for an Island, so obviously I can't have the borders of the maps with land on them, they need to be clear open sky at the edge of my sea.

Thanks for the help.

This is done outside map editor. Open Modules/Napoleonic Wars/scenes.txt file, find your map's entry and change it's 3rd line to outer_terrain_beach

Please bare with my stupidity, but I'm having trouble figuring out how this will change the map itself that I plan to be on a server.

Won't editing that txt just change it for me? That's my local game txt, not much to do with the map in another folder.

Edit Or is this something the server owner has to do with their txt when adding my map ?

Yes, server has to do the same thing.

Sending a M&B map to a server or any other computer always involves two steps - sending the .sco scene file itself, and sending the text which should be placed into scenes.txt file to replace old map entry. This text contains some map data which is not contained within .sco file itself, such as terrain shape and surrounding scenery.

Alright It's all working so far, thanks for the help !
