Eden editor

Here you will find the summary of work that needs to be done in the scenario editor.

1. Place Warlords modules

• All Warlords modules can be found under Systems > Warlords.

• Place the Warlords Init module anywhere on the map (its position is irrelevant).
  • Feel free to tweak the settings in the module window (you open this window by double clicking on a placed module icon). Check the tooltips for each parameter.

• Place two Warlords Base modules (one for each faction) on the locations you want to have the starting faction bases.
  • Don't forget to properly set up the side parameter in the module window!
• Place Warlords Sector modules on desired sector locations.
  • You can change various parameters for individual sectors and bases in their module windows.
• Connect the bases and the sectors by right clicking on any of them, selecting "Connect > Sync to" and left clicking on the sector or base you want to connect.

• Repeat this for other sectors until you've got all the sectors and bases linked in a reasonable way.

• Feel free to experiment with the other Warlords modules as well, you will find details on how to use them in their module windows.

2. Place playable units

• You should place the playable units inside their respective faction bases.
• The type or number of playable units is up to you.
• Make sure all of them are set as Player or Playable.
• Make sure that all playable units are in separate groups.

3. Set up multiplayer rules

• You will find these settings under Attributes > Multiplayer... in the toolbar at the top of the screen.

• You can set most of these to your liking, however there is one attribute that needs to be set up specifically in order wor the mode to work properly:
  • Respawn has to be set to Respawn on Custom Position
  • Respawn delay is up to you, the default used in all official missions is 20 seconds.

4. Done!

Congratulations, your scenario is ready! These were all steps required to have a fully working Warlords mission. Following are some more in-depth customization options.
