MAP EDITOR
To enter a map editor, you must edit config.cfg file in advance located in your "$home/18 WoS Across America" directory. Remember, you must create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the config.cfg file in C:\Documents and Settings\jarek\My documents\18 WoS Across America" in WINXP for example. Change the following line in the file to enable console windowused g_console "1"
and then save the config.cfg file.
Begin game play and press the ~ (tilde) key to display the console window. Type edit america
and you'll be transfered to map editor ;-). Thanks to Pavel for this great hits.
HOW BUILD YOUR OWN SCENARIO
First you must create "./defs/scenarios/" directories in your "$home/18 WoS Across America" directory. This is there you have a screenshots directory for 18WoS AA game.
"C:\Documents and Settings\jarek\My documents\18 WoS Across America\defs\scenarios" in WINXP for example.
If you create these directories you will be able to make your own scenarios now.
You must create empty file with any/free file name with ".def" extension. "truckpol.def" file for example.
The contents of the file is following: extdefs "/defs/scenario_base.def"
def scenario:/scenario_base {
name:"definition_here"
truck:"definition_here"
instructions:"definition_here"
money:"definition_here"
prestige:"definition_here"
loan:"definition_here"
location:"definition_here"
time_limit:"definition_here"
win:"definition_here"
} and we have the end of file. The parameters in italic are not mandatory. Below you can find explanation of the word:definition_here
