New freeplay map, eventpool issues

[kimdaniel]

Hi guys, im playing around in the editor and have created a new freeplay map. im struggling to figure out how to connect my map to the correct event pool, all it does is load the test event pool.

This is the debug log, i removed the test_event_pool to see what happend.

i want it to load: "\em5_eventpool\freeplay\metropolis_freeplay_eventpools.json" instead. but i cant find out where to define this.

 

Have any of you guys had any luck when it comes to this?

I really want anything other then simple fires and medical calls

 have no clue how to achive it. But maybe you want to modify the test_event_pool.json instead.

[kimdaniel]

Yeah its what i ended up doing, il let you guys know if i find a solution to use another eventpool.
Guessing the same goes for unitpool. but i havent started to fiddle with that

[Killerconsti]

the eventpool should be:

 

mapname_(freeplay_eventpool/or whatever pool)

this is the lo which I got with the "testmap"

 

 

[2016-11-13 22:05:36][QSF error] There is no event pool with the key: testmap_freeplay_eventpool
[2016-11-13 22:05:36][QSF warning] The eventpool "testmap_freeplay_eventpool" is unknown. Loading default event pool

 

same naming convention for the unitpool:

testmap_freeplay_unitpool

 

Hope that helps

[kimdaniel]

Thanks Killerconsti, and sorry for late reply

Been using log files more frequent and it helps alot.

i have made a new freeplay map that is almost finished. i was wondering if you have made any progress in making a new campaign?

you mentioned something about that in your minimod post.

 

I want to make a simple campaign with a Harbor/airport fire in the new map, something simple, not scripting complex.

Have tried messing with the em2016/em2017 campaign to see if i can get another campaign appear ingame. but no luck yet

 

[Killerconsti]

I havent done a campaign yet. But I have done

-new freeplay events

-new gui elements in the main menu

den-fellow from 16t finally told me how to start a new game from a button press. So by pressing this button you'll enter the freeplay munich map. You could now store just a global variable which would trigger your scenario

              em5::GameSessionConfiguration& gameSessionConfiguration = EM5_GAME.getGameSessionConfiguration();
                em5::MapIdentifier mapIdentifier(0);    // 0 for Munich map
                gameSessionConfiguration.setupForFreeplay(mapIdentifier);
                EM5_APPLICATION.triggerStartGame();

 

Unluckily if you want to do a new campaign there is a lot c++ required.

 

It's like a movie script, you need to tell the game everything that happens

-Set a Building on Fire and activate a hidden layer with rubbish and persons (optional)

-deactivate freeplay (else new events will pop up if we used the setupForFreeplay function)

-epic beginning clip

-Register a Listener who will tell you once all fires are extinguished and no hurt person is anymore at the map.

-scores if you want to do

My last investigation was about to create a camera track (this can be done editor) but I definitly need a second look into this.
