Porting

The Domination mission may be modified in Eden editor.

All maps supported by Domination are released as PBOs. However you can use any PBO tool to modify and bundle your own mission modifications. Choose co30_Domination.Altis as the PBO source to bundle the default map (Altis).

If you want to bundle or modify maps other than Altis follow these steps:

• delete co30_Domination.Altis/mission.sqm
• copy the appropriate mission.sqm file from mission_sqm folder into co30_Domination.Altis
• rename the file you copied to mission.sqm
• delete co30_Domination.Altis/x_setup.sqf
• copy the appropriate x_setup.sqf file from mission_sqm folder into co30_Domination.Altis
• rename the file you copied to x_setup.sqf
• rename co30_Domination.Altis folder to co30_Domination.NewMap (for example co30_Domination.Malden)
• run your preferred PBO tool with PBO source folder co30_Domination.Malden

Remember that your modifications can only be shared with the community if you contribute your work back to the source repository.

explanation: _1-X means _1 _2 ... _X e.g. sample_1-# #1-3 => sample_1,sample_2,sample_3
