Adding Objectives To SP Maps
Subject description: Finally figured this out
With some schema research, and trial/error process, I have discovered how to make objectives for your custom maps. I'll post updates to this as I find them, but for now, this is what I have.
Each mission can be assigned objectives through the "Interface" section in the worldbuilder, but to get them to show up in the game, you need to make some changes to the overrides.xml file that is in your map's folder.
Primary/Bonus objectives are handled by a simple flag, and are shown in my code snippet below.
So, what you need to do is align your mission objectives in worldbuilder with the ones inside your XML file, and the result, becomes something like this:
To actually have text in those strings, create a map.str file and put it in your map directory.
the Script="OBJECTIVE:SCRIPTRSA001_1" tag is when you roll the mouse over the objective arrow, and it is displayed when the camera initially shows the objective.
the Description="OBJECTIVE:RSA001_1" tag is shown in the objectives hud (O key)
BuildMap.bat your map from there.
Hope this helps anyone who has been looking for this.

1. Nothing new... made a post with that some time ago but no one seemed to care.
2. Xml code is broken here, only shows tag names.
3. How about map.str? _________________ QUICK_EDIT

was about to modify the post with newer findings on fixing those. just thought it would be a good reference because I couldn't seem to find it earlier.
Thanks for the heads up on #2. forgot to check the disable HTML box. _________________ C&C Fan & Modder. Ex-Mod Dev for multiple mods across multiple C&C Games. QUICK_EDIT
Still completely lost on how to add the new "Faction" Templates to the worldbuilder. That would be really handy right about now, and I can't seem to find where they keep that in the XML.
Also, how does one include .ini's with the WB, because it should be contained in the mod's BIG file. but yet it's not loading into my WB. _________________ C&C Fan & Modder. Ex-Mod Dev for multiple mods across multiple C&C Games. QUICK_EDIT
