Modding Enemy Waves

Warlords Under Siege allows you to override enemy waves in any map. Pour commencer, télécharger le EXAMPLE MOD.

Place the extracted content into

The mod should now appear as a new mission in the mission selection screen.

When you open the example mod you will see the following:

Map1 – Map1 is the internal name of the map. In this case it represents Western Valley. Analogically, Map2 represents Passage of the Dead. You can override both of these maps if you wish. Name of the folder determines which map will be overridden. Contents of the folder will determine the mission details.

metaData Generated automatically when uploading and updating the mod. Can be ignored, et tu ne’t need it when uploading to the workshop for the first time.

When you open the Map1 folder, toi’ll see three files:

MissionDescription.txt – This file contains the description which appears in the mission selection screen
MissionName.txt – This file contains the name of the mission
Wavesl.json – This file contains the definitions of the enemy waves which will spawn

Waves.json contains a number of pre-defined wave. Wave definition looks like this:

Remember that each definition ends with a comma. Order of defined waves determines the order they spawn in, with each wave starting exactly on the minute after the last wave.

Defining enemies in a wave

Each wave has associated points value. This value determines the strength of the wave. The more points are give to the wave, the more enemies will spawn. Try to keep this range within a sane amount – souviens-toi, not everyone has an uber PC 🙂

Players will be give a fate roll for killing the units equivalent to the value of the wave. This means that if you create 35 flots, players will be given 34 rouleaux (remembering that last roll is not given because all enemies are already dead).

Uploading Mods to The Workshop

Currently uploading mods to the workshop is a HEAVY WIP. Please bear with us as we upgrade the GUI to be a bit more friendly and responsive.

You can access the

Upload Menufrom the Main Menu, by clicking the  »

Upload Mod » in the bottom right corner.

Titre: Your mod title

Description: Description visible in the workshop.

Content folder path: Full path to your mod folder. Exemple:

Preview image Path: Full path to your preview image. Exemple:

When you click the upload button, the mod will begin uploading to the workshop. At the moment there is no feedback regarding success or failure. Il’s best to simply alt tab from the game and check if the mod uploaded to the workshop. You can check it by going to your profile, and checking your workshop items.

When you click to view next, the game will try to get the details of the next mod in the list which you own and you’re subscribed to. Tant que tu’re the owner, details of the mod will show up and you’ll be able to update them. Some of these you can do from the workshop menu. The most important is the Contents folder.

To update your mod, simply put in the path to he folder where your mod is and click the tick-box next to it. Tick-box tells the game to update this property. If you only click the title tick-box for example, only the title will be updated.

We know this is far from perfect, and will soon provide you with better tools to manage your mods.
