Making a Free-For-All out of an existing game


  • How do I change an existing map to Free-For-All without having to start up the map first and open the edit window? I want the game to start as a Free-For-All.


  • You need to edit the respective game.xml to be found in the subfolder “games” of your TripleA map.
    Best idea would be to study the xml of existing FFA-mods and compare what is different to “regular” game.xml.

    Take as an example Napoleonic Empires 5 Player FFA:

    here you see

    
     <playerlist><player name="France" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><player name="UnitedKingdom" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><player name="AustrianEmpire" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><player name="OttomanEmpire" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><player name="Russia" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><alliance player="UnitedKingdom" alliance="UnitedKingdom"><alliance player="Russia" alliance="Russia"><alliance player="AustrianEmpire" alliance="AustrianEmpire"><alliance player="France" alliance="France"><alliance player="OttomanEmpire" alliance="OttomanEmpire"></alliance></alliance></alliance></alliance></alliance></player></player></player></player></player></playerlist> 
    
    

    There may be other parts of the xml affected.

    HTH :-)
