Hi guys

for anyone interested in modding here is a guide to getting started with the Archon engine, which Sanctus is built on

http://archonwiki.slitherine.com/index.php/Main_Page

Enjoy!

[Elindos Phar & Family]

Thank you GREATLY for all this!
I am so much in love with Slitherine for these efforts.

Totally made me purchase the game ;)

[KingKoontz]

Very, very nice!

[MSgt Peterson]

Does that mean people will eventually be able to add other chapters to the game? lol

[Kell]

Coop!?!

Anyway in these days modding let the game live longer, grow greater and even sell more ;)

Christmas list:
I would like to know if there are network commands available. :)
ie ability to send a network call as in AJAX.

[Elindos Phar & Family]

also ... I think we need a "Modding" section on Steam (and Slitherine Sanctus Reach forums) to get our mods out ;)

[PipFromSlitherine]

One already exists on Slitherine: http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=459

Hi guys, I have been at it for hours but my lack knowledge defeats me.
I desperately need a step by step guide on how to increase turn limit for the campaigns.
I am totally lost :(

[PipFromSlitherine]

For the prebuilt missions you just need to go into the editor (in your duplicated local copy) and open the plugins list, choose the Victory Point plugin, then change the turn limit.

For the skirmishes it is more complex - they use the default turn limit value from what I can see. This can be tweaked in the CampaignDisplay2.bsf file in DATA/SCRIPTS in each campaign, you will see commented out versions of it.

Hope that helps a little!

Cheers

Pip

It is a copy of:

Now loaded, press okay:

Need to select a Scenario for the editor to load (CarryOver Campaign is series of Scenarios):

Save:

Overwrite existing .BAM:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=855538498

You need to do that to all the scenarios that you can, in the Campaign that you choose.
For the skirmishes, thanks Pip I didn't know that, the file to edit is in the new campaign folder:
...\SANCTUS\CAMPAIGNS\STORMCLAWCOPY\Data\Scripts\CampaignDisplay2.BSF
If you didn't know, right-click the .BSF flie, select properties and change the extension to a .txt file. Make a backup or copy if you need.
In the CampaignDisplay2.BSF, there is :

//set the turn limit.  Limited to 1000.

& at:
...\SANCTUS\AUTODOCS\BATTLESCRIPT.txt

//set the turn limit.  Limited to 1000.

So many thanks my friend.

The best way to edit .BSF files is to associate them with Notepad++ and set it up as per:

About setting the skirmish turn limits. I did what Wu-Tang Clan did. I got to the //set the turn limit. limited to 1000 part and added the line skirmishsetturnlimit(14) for 14 turns. But when I restart it still says 7 turns. I know I'm doing something wrong but this is nearly impossible to find on the internet for me. it's probably something simple

[tourist]

Turn limit is a cap. Obvious once you see it: it seems to be at seven turns until victory and you are saying "let it play through turn fourteen," instead of the possible 1000 turns as a default maximum. The limit doesn't kick-in because it grants victory on turn seven.

edit:
I think it is in:
...\Warhammer 40000 Sanctus Reach\Data\Battle\Scripts\MapGenerate2.BSF

You can copy & make custom skirmish data to load. Pip has a link to a custom skirmish that ups number of heavy units.
