Field of war - Custom mission creation

 

The Field of war mod can be used to create new custom missions



To get started create your new mission in arma3 editor then download the stratis mission template and copy the files in there (except mission.sqm) to your mission folder.


Template download: Google drive



To modify the mission you will only need to place markers in the editor and edit the mapPlaces.h file.



mapPlaces.h will look like this:

To automatically create the playable units you need to place marker called "playableSpawn" on the map, this is where the playable units will be created when you press Ctrl + V.


Also if you want to support three sides game mode the map should have predefined FOB position for resistance and threeSidesSupported = true; in the mapPlaces.h file


Mission makers can now also place barracks or factory buildings near town that give discount on buy prices of infantry or vehicles. To create such structure the building's config name must contains "barracks" or "factory" and it must be placed closer than 700m of the town center. For example placing Land_Barracks_01_camo_F will work as discount price for infantry


That's it!
