2017-11-22 udpate: custom campaigns

[xbx]

hello!

So there are some changes in the november update.
in the title.xml campaigns sections:

Code: Select all

	<score_context>
			<name>Platform</name>
			<maprecord_type>3</maprecord_type> <!-- 0=scoreasc, 1=scoredsc, 2=time, 3=respawns -->
			<medals_enabled>true</medals_enabled>
			<compute_medals_from_maprecord>false</compute_medals_from_maprecord>  <!-- only available for maprecord_type=2, other modes must use scripted medals via Solo_SetNewRecord() -->
			<author_medals_enabled>false</author_medals_enabled>
			<skillpoints_enabled>true</skillpoints_enabled>
	</score_context>
	<campaign num="2">
			<playlist name=""/>
			<mode name="PlatformSolo"/>
			<score_context>Platform</score_context>
			<official_record_enabled>true</official_record_enabled>
			<maps folder="PlatformTMUF\"/>
	</campaign>				

• It is now possible to specify a mode name per campaign, which will override the general "solo" mode.
• There's a 'disable_unlock_system' if you want to make custom menus and not be limited by the old unlock rules
• 'compute_medals_from_maprecord' is now forced to false if 'maprecord_type' is not 2. (other modes must use scripted medals via Solo_SetNewRecord() )
• In addition bugs when using multiple campaigns with different score contexts have been fixed.

In addition I was looking at the 'TM2 United Forever' title by adamkooo, and here are a few things I stumbled upon:

• If using url='#campaign=PlatformA1@TM2UF@adamkooo' to start a map, pay attention that the map is searched by name from the campaigns. If the map is duplicated in several campaign folders it may not use the one you expect.
• The title displays the maps in a fully custom manialink, with a explicit list of the maps. If this menu list doesn't match the files in the campaign folder (say, the menu displays MapA1, MapA2, .... whereas there's a MapA0 in the campaign folder) when trying to load 'MapA1' it will say that the map is locked: because it's the second map in the series.
• the CScoreMgr API is 'not perfect'... The UserId arguemnt to most functions is not the 'LocalUser.Id'. (it's a left over from the TM Turbo console version) Just use NullId...

  Code: Select all

  declare SkillPoints = ScoreMgr.Campaign_GetSkillPoints(NullId, DataFileMgr.Campaigns[0].CampaignId);

  Or to get the Medals of some map:

  Code: Select all

  		declare Campaign0  = DataFileMgr.Campaigns[0];
  		declare Map5 = Campaign0.MapGroups[0].MapInfos[4];
  		declare NbMedals = ScoreMgr.Map_GetMultiAsyncLevel(NullId, Map5.MapUid, Campaign0.ScoreContext);
  		log("medals on " ^ Map5 .Name ^ ": " ^ NbMedals ^ ", unlocked? = " ^ Map5.Unlocked);
  

• Pay attention that ScoreMgr is not available when a manialink page is open 'out of context' in the manialinkbrowser. It must be the main menu page or a layer of the CManiaAppTitle.

Thanks for the detailed information!

This can definitely help bringing back Invasion solo compaign.

The old MP3 invasion title stills works perfectly for me.
(I use it all the time to test the game!)

Good to hear it's useful

Although, I was speaking about including Invasion's solo mode in Galaxy title pack, which features scripted menus.
