I_MapName condition: does it work?

[Monkwarrior]

I'm trying to implement different scripts depending on the campaign to be played.
I found in docudemon_conditions one that could be useful:

Identifier: I_MapName
Trigger requirements:
Parameters: map file name
Sample use: not I_MapName world\maps\campaign\sons_of_mars\descr_strat.txt
Description: The qualified file name of the current map relative to the data directory
Battle or Strat: Either
Class: MAP_NAME
Implemented: Yes
Author: Guy

I tried this in this way (export_descr_advice):

;------------------------------------------ ITW Campaign

Trigger ITW_Campaign_Thread_Trigger
WhenToTest SettlementSelected

Condition I_LocalFaction carthage
and I_MapName world\maps\campaign\Hispania_Cartago\descr_strat.txt

AdviceThread ITW_Carthage_Campaign_Thread 0

Result: the advice didn't appear and, or course, the script was not launched.

Then, I tried the negative way:

;------------------------------------------ ITW Campaign

Trigger ITW_Campaign_Thread_Trigger
WhenToTest SettlementSelected

Condition I_LocalFaction carthage
and not I_MapName world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat.txt

AdviceThread ITW_Carthage_Campaign_Thread 0

Result: the advice appeared in all the campaigns, when carthage faction was selected.
I tried also using the full path (data\world\etc), but the result was the same.

Did anybody use this condition successfully?
Any other method to launch scripts selectively depending on the campaign?

I believe it is used in the export descr advice file for some of the prologue advice (to make sure it doesn't appear in the normal game). Look there for syntax. :smile:

Thanks for the tip, Myrddraal.
You were right and it is used. The correct syntax is:

and I_MapName data/world/maps/campaign/Hispania_Cartago/descr_strat.txt

Notice the two differences with docudemon: the need for "data" in the path and the use of / instead of \.
Now it works in my campaigns.

ooooh that's what I was doing wrong...

Those little things you take for granted when it might actually be useful to other people... If only all modders had psychic (sp?) links :wink:

If it's a mod-foldered mod, it's supposed to be


I_MapName <modfolder>/data/world/maps/campaign/Hispania_Cartago/descr_strat.txt


IMPORTANT: The /data/world/maps/campaign/ must be in all lower-case. It's hard-coded that way in the exe and won't work otherwise. You must put it that way even if the actual path is DaTa/WoRlD/MaPs/CamPAign/

ps: Sorry for topping this ancient thread. :)
