New player help
« on: February 09, 2006, 12:25:19 pm »
Hi,

I used to play EAW when it first came out, and am looking to get back into it. However I'm quite confused as to what mods are available for single player? Is there guide or something like that for single player EAW or OP (which I just ordered) My main interests would be SFB esqe mods and campaigns.

Thanks

For SFBesque on OP I heartily reccomend my SFB-OP mod (shameless plug):

http://www.dynaverse.net/downloads/sfc2_op/Mods/SFB_OP_04.exe

(it will back up your current specs and provide an uninstall shortcut on the start menu to go back to your old config)

And try out the community scripts pack to go with it:

http://www.dynaverse.net/downloads/sfc2_op/Scripts/scripts.exe

Start a new campaign (old ones won't work and are best deleted) and you'll be presented with a bunch of custom campaign options.

For EAW stuff, have a browse through the EAW downloads section:

Thanks,

Any idea what any of that stuff in the EAW directory is.

I'm looking for a general war type scenario, i.e. fed vs romulans or klingon or vice versa.

This page will provide more details on some of those downloads:

I don't think there are any General War mods as such for singleplayer EAW, though it wouldn't be too hard to make some.

Any guide as to how to do that?  Or is there such a thing for OP?

Most of it applies to singleplayer as well. All the files are in:
\MetaAssets\ServerProfiles\Singleplayer
\Assets\Scripts\Campaigns
\Assets\maps
\Assets\specs
\MetaAssets
(back them up first)

You'll want to download the serverkit which contains the map editor (a bit of an art) to make your own maps:
