Help with making ppf/sppf

Post by tjp »

I'm not really a noob at modding, but I never really needed this until now; Is there a way I can mod one map, make a ppf or sppf, but make that ppf/sppf applicable to all the maps? If so, can somebody show me how? Thanks.

No. I'm like 99.9% sure. When you make a patch, it is programmed to only make changes to a specific map's structure.

If you are trying to mass produce your mods, for example in a map pack, one thing you can do is extract all your different tags to the same folder, then use the Info Combiner Tool (by Detox?). Then you can inject all those tags into a map at once, instead of one by one.

You will still have to adjust your spawns and perform other edits manually, but weapons, projectiles, models, shaders, bipeds, etc. can all be built in this way.
Retired. Thank you neodos, DemonicSandwich, DarkShallFall, Dragonfire, foxfanatic2317, GOWO and everyone in the hall of fame.
If you want to know how I did something, take apart my mods.
