File types used in AACW

From AACWWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Scenario are with the SCN extension. They are to be placed in the Scenarios directory. Note that renaming an HST file into a SCN file creates a perfectly valid scenario.

Events files are either with the SCT extension (Events directory) or as an include extension (.INC). All includes goes to the Includes directory.

Includes (.INC) are files which are refered too in another file (including another include). They are all to be placed in the Includes directory.

A turn folder is made of up to 5 files, but can have only three, if no players submitted their orders. First you find the Host file (.HST) which contains everything the game simulation need. Then you find a Turn file (TRN) for every faction in the game (AACW has only two sides). Each turn file is a subset of the host file, ie they contains the data that the faction can see or possesses but not what is in the fog of war. Then you have an order file (ORD), only if the player saved his turn.
