France Goes First Global 1940

@crockett36 The html files are optional, but you should them to describe the game. The map.yml file lets TripleA know the name of your scenario. The XML describes the rules and setup.

@crockett36 TripleA is pretty flexible as to where the files are. You don't need to delete anything other than unused xml files in the games folder.

[crockett36]

Was my youtube video correct?

[RogerCooper]

@crockett36 Yes. Now you need to modify some of the files.

[crockett36]

@rogercooper I’ll get to it on the weekend

[crockett36]

@crockett36 I have added a description to the description and map files. I don't see any game files.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 How do I change the order of play btw?

@crockett36

Hi crockett

open the "map" folder. That will show all the games, if more than one xml.

Put the xml in a editor of your choice. Most use notepad++ or some variation of.

You have to change a few things. Search "France" for starters and switch it where you want it to go. There's a few other things to do as well.

Roger will clue you in

Edit
so "map" folder
then open "games" folder to get to xml

@beelee You will see a code area like this. Rearrange to your liking.

      <!-- Italians Game Sequence -->
      <step name="italianTech" delegate="tech" player="Italians"/>
      <step name="italianPurchase" delegate="purchase" player="Italians"/>
      <step name="italianPolitics" delegate="politics" player="Italians"/>

@rogercooper Yikes.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 We'll give it a try.

[crockett36]

@crockett36

[crockett36]

@crockett36 is that right?

[RogerCooper]

@crockett36 It looks correct to me. Try it out on your computer and see if there any errors.

You should download the Pact of Steel mod.It contains a scenario called Pact of Steel 2 which has detailed comments on the XML code. You can learn a lot by reading the comments.

@crockett36 Once you are satisified with it, post the file and I will put it into the repository.
