Warfare Module - How to use ?

[Futurenote]

Hey guys, does anyone have a clue how to use the warfare module in the editor corectly ? Do I just link everything to the game logic ? I mean the depots with ther linked camps and so on. And would I use the construction module also ? Thanks in advance.

I'd like to know the same thing. I've tried to setup warfare in a SP mission but the game gets stuck on the loading screen after I hit Preview in the Editor. I've tried to set it up like it is in the SP mission freedom fighters but I can't get it to work.

Does anyone have a quick example mission they could post? It doesn't have to be too in depth, just a basic warfare example. I'd like to see what's going on with my mission.

Here's an example, i've ripped it off some pbo, it migth be bugged, but here you go: Download (http://www.2shared.com/file/6362263/273267ca/WarfareExampleChernarus.html)

You might want to unPBO warfare2.pbo found in AddOns folder, there are some examples provided in warfare2.pbo/MPMissions...

Ok. Here is what I've done so far. For some reason I didn't get the Warfare module to run by creating a mission from scratch with the WF module synced to players and vehicles. So - I de pbo'ed 1st example missions from the warfare2.pbo. Most of them you can't preview in the editor as they need some scripting work i think. But defnitly worth a look. Then I used the Superpowermission from the missions pbo. Really simple setup in the editor. I added SOM and ACM for a bit more dynamic. So - Superpowers itself in the editor doesn't contain any markers for the depots and camps. One of the example mission in the warfare folder shows a simple setup for this. If I recall it right there were like a few depots synced to camps sync to game logic an the logic synced to the warfare module.

I also looked at the Strategic layer reference module pbo ( actul file is not called like that) which seemed to contain information about towns - airports - camps. So it would be intresting to know what ecxactly the Warfare logic does what the Construction Interface - and Strategic layer reference don't. So what if you would use CoIn and Strategic layer for all the camps and tows ? Isn't that ecxactly what Warfare is ?
Will mess a bit more with the editor over the weekend.

You might be right. Prob triggers certain AI behaviour, like capturing towns and building units.
