5. Open up your map.ini file. Put all the names of your placeholder objects in the file. For this tutorial, I will be using WaterReflectionSkydome_GapOfRohan.

Code



Object WaterReflectionSkydome_GapOfRohan

6. You need to find the original models of the cinematic objects. Locate the cinematic object in your ini files. They should all be located in object\cinematic\cinematicobjects.ini. For me, I locate CINE_DomeSkyboxNight.

Code



Object CINE_DomeSkyboxNight



  Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_01

    DefaultModelConditionState

      Model = SkyBoxNight

;      ParticleSysBone = LightningNode SkyBoxNightLightning

;      ParticleSysBone = None RainOfFireFlareNoTrails

    End

  End



  ; ***DESIGN parameters ***

  EditorSorting       = SYSTEM

  Browser = CINEMATICS SKYBOXES



  ; *** AUDIO Parameters ***



  ; *** ENGINEERING Parameters ***  

  

  Behavior                 = DestroyDie ModuleTag_02

    ;<NO DATA>

  End



End

7. I want the model name. For me, this would be SkyBoxNight. Using the replacemodule behavior in your map.ini file, swap your model with the cinematic one.

Code



Object WaterReflectionSkydome_GapOfRohan



ReplaceModule ModuleTag_01

    Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_01New

        DefaultModelConditionState

            Model = SkyBoxNight

        End

    End

END

NOTE: Remember that the ModuleTag may be different than the one above. It can change depending on the object.

8. Now, we need to add some new things to the kindof. This will make the object show up in-game.

Code



Object WaterReflectionSkydome_GapOfRohan



ReplaceModule ModuleTag_01

    Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_01New

        DefaultModelConditionState

            Model = SkyBoxNight

        End

    End

END



KindOf = PRELOAD IMMOBILE UNATTACKABLE INERT INERT_SHROUD_REVEALER



end

That should be it for map.ini users. Your cinematic objects and skyboxes should now be usable for your maps.

Why go to all the hassle of moving objects about etc when all you should do is change the path to them in SubSystemLegend.INI? The ThingTemplateStore explicitly indicates that the objects in the cinematics path are for cinematics only, so you just change that indicator to InitPath = Data\INI\Object\Cinematic\ instead of IncludePathCinematics = Data\INI\Object\Cinematic\ and the game will use them the same as any other object...

hi there, unfortunately am having trouble with this tutorial, have gotten all the ways to the end without hassle and even saved the modded files in a big archive under the letter "A" and when i try to play the game the splash screen appears but it doesn't go any further, i'm playing ROTWK

You should add code tags. Good tutorial otherwise :)
