1 There is no simple solution, but there are lot of extremely powerful solutions. Here are some ways to _try_ though: 1 There is no simple solution, but there are lot of extremely powerful solutions. Here are some ways to _try_ though:

3 1) You could learn how to [url=https://zero-k. info/mediawiki/index. php?title=Mapping_Guide]make maps[/url]. Maps can include arbitrary code in them, entirely redefining the rules of the game if you need that ( new units, new mechanics, new models, everything) . Mapping for Spring is not easy, though: you'll have to learn at least programming and quite probably a lot more. It's possible to reuse existing maps though when making a "scripted" version of them of course. 3 1) You could learn how to [url=https://zero-k. info/mediawiki/index. php?title=Mapping_Guide]make maps[/url].

Mapping for Spring is not easy, though: you'll have to learn at least a bit of Lua programming ( for your mission triggers; you can get through actual mapping mostly without it) and quite probably a lot more ( texturing, for example) .

5 2) You could try how to make scenarios in SpringBoard. After all, initially it was supposed to be a _scenario editor_. It's a bit rough on the edges though, and hasn't been kept very up to date. Something exported from SB is likely to be more or less a mod-map like you would get in 1), but perhaps in an easier way. The bonus point is that you possibly won't have to learn programming. 5 2) You could try how to make scenarios in SpringBoard. After all, initially it was supposed to be a _scenario editor_.

9 IIRC the lobby even comes with a way to switch the single-player stuff into things other than the default campaign. This is entirely undocumented afaik, except for the [url=https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Chobby/tree/master/campaign/sample]examples[/url] that the existing code represents, and the possibility to extract more information from @Aquanim or @GoogleFrog who created this system. 9 IIRC the lobby even comes with a way to switch the single-player stuff into things other than the default campaign.

11 For this approach, you would almost inevitably have to learn programming and other stuff, but as a bonus, you can probably make not just a mission, but a whole campaign. 11 For this approach, you would almost inevitably have to learn programming and other stuff, but as a bonus, you can probably make not just a mission, but a whole campaign.
