Adding Your Very OWN Digsite.

**thegrimmshow** Tue Mar 17, 2009 7:19 am

Here it is guys.You will learn how to add a new digsite.

Files you have to mess with:
-fossilhunt.ini
-eng.txt

Known Issues:
You can only choose from an already existing TML file.Sad truth is WE cannot add new TML files.and no mixed dino's.

STEP 1-Open up fslhunt.ini.
You should know what each line in this code mean.

// <THE DIGSITES FULL NAME> ---------------------------------------------------------------

HuntingGround[THE DIGSITES SHORT NAME]
{
title = $FossilHunt_MorrisonA_Title; =this is used for eng.txt
period = Jurassic;
location = NorthAmerica;
matlib = "dinos_morrison_a"; =the TML of the digsite

reqdinos = { steg, cerato, dryo }; =the dino's inside the tml
linkedtoset = 1;

cost = 0; // This site is free!
gold = 120;

position = {100, 120}; =position in the map
texture = "FslHunt_fossil6";

DigSite[river1]
{
type = plains;
texture = "FslHunt_DigSite_1";
position = {58, 44};
teams = 2;
digtime = .01;
}
DigSite[river2]
{
type = plains;
texture = "FslHunt_DigSite_2";
position = {46, 114};
teams = 3;
digtime = .01;
}
DigSite[plains]
{
type = mountain;
texture = "FslHunt_DigSite_3";
position = {82, 212};
teams = 4;
digtime = .01;
}
}

Now that you know what lines you have to change lets start with the tutorial.
STEP 2:
We will add a new digsite. This Digsite will be named as "JurassicMods".

// <JURASSICMODS> ---------------------------------------------------------------

HuntingGround[JurassicMods]
{
title = $FossilHunt_Jurassicmods_Title;
period = Jurassic;
location = NorthAmerica;
matlib = "dinos_morrison_a";

reqdinos = { steg, cerato, dryo };
linkedtoset = 1;

cost = 0; // This site is free!
gold = 120;

position = {100, 120};
texture = "FslHunt_fossil6";

DigSite[river1]
{
type = plains;
texture = "FslHunt_DigSite_1";
position = {58, 44};
teams = 2;
digtime = .01;
}
DigSite[river2]
{
type = plains;
texture = "FslHunt_DigSite_2";
position = {46, 114};
teams = 3;
digtime = .01;
}
DigSite[plains]
{
type = mountain;
texture = "FslHunt_DigSite_3";
position = {82, 212};
teams = 4;
digtime = .01;
}
}

STEP 3:Search for the line

grounds = { MorrisonA, HellCreekA , JudithRiverA, MorrisonB, HellCreekB, JudithRiverB, HellCreekB, TendaguruBeds, Chenini, FlamingCliffs };

Then add the name of your digsite.

grounds = { MorrisonA, HellCreekA , JudithRiverA, MorrisonB, HellCreekB, JudithRiverB, HellCreekB, TendaguruBeds, Chenini, FlamingCliffs, JurassicMods };

Now that you are finished with the fslhunt.ini

open eng.txt and search for the line

FossilHunt_MorrisonA_Title

after,copy that and add it below but replace the MorrisonA with the short version of your digsite.

FossilHunt_JurassicMods_Title "JurassicMods"

There.now that you are done.open up the game.cross your fingers for the best.AND ENJOY.

That is Awesome! cheers

Thanks for posting that Very Happy

Nemesis: Quoting the whole of godzillaman's tutorial wasn't necessary and made people have to scroll more.

Wow, we need more things like this, good job.

I'll say. But how do you put it on the map ?

**thegrimmshow** Fri Mar 20, 2009 5:29 am

what do you mean about that? Very Happy

**godzillaman** Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:21 am

On the screenshot you posted earlier, you showed a digstie in Australia. I think this just renames the Morrison A digsite.

**thegrimmshow** Sat Mar 21, 2009 11:28 am

No.if you you want to put it on Australia. you should work on its coordinates. The digsite that i made in Australia is actually the chenini digsite. Very Happy

i just tweaked its position. on the map.

**godzillaman** Sun Mar 22, 2009 1:22 pm

Ah. Okay. I'll try this one out. And, there might be a way to customize the dinos in the digsite.

**thegrimmshow** Sun Mar 22, 2009 10:06 pm

okie. i will experiment on this and find a way to make a new tml. i know sooner or later someones gonna know how this would work.

How do you change it's position on the map ? confused

**thegrimmshow** Mon Mar 23, 2009 9:48 pm

gold = 120;

position = {100, 120};

//position in the map
texture = "FslHunt_fossil6";
find that line qouted above. and change its variables. so you can change its position on the map ingame. Very Happy

This is one of the best mods I've seen. But it's difficult to use too.

Thunderaptor Sat Mar 06, 2010 2:53 am

I tried this before to make a S.America site without secces, but then i tried again and I got It YAAAAHH!! Exclamation

procompsognathus101 Sat Mar 06, 2010 4:24 am

Yeah,this is pretty cool,but I had a feeling that this doesn't work on saved games.

Thunderaptor Sat Mar 06, 2010 11:55 pm

I doesn't, if you did anything new on the data, nothing happens on saved games
For example i had a saved game and i made a protoceratops and when i opened the saved file it didn't have it
