SowGB SDK Ver 1.6 Beta

[Saddletank]

It's not downloaded as a mod, just stand-alone files. I store the SDK in Gettysburg's /Work folder.

There was never any scenario generator issued by NSD for Gettysburg. Leffe7's SG is what we have (and it's pretty good but is mainly designed for MP play), plus this SDK.

I have never written a scenario intended for SP, so I can't comment on how to use scripting in scenarios. Building scenarios for Gettysburg for use in MP is very simple. You can design, build and test one in an afternoon once you've found your way around what's needed.

You don't need to update to Gettysburg v1.6.1 to use Leffe7's SG or the SDK, but I'd suggest you update anyway since if you pay MP you'll need to have the latest version.

Thanks Saddletank, can you generate a Single Player scenario from Leffe7?

[Saddletank]

Yep. His SG doesn't include scripting but it can do everything else and is very flexible.

Thanks Saddletank,

What is scripting defined as....arrival times, arrival locations? Guess I should download and see for myself....

[Saddletank]

Usually timings. You can have a force "switch on", for example, and become active at a certain point in a scenario with a script to represent reinforcements. Scripting only works in single player scenarios.

I was hoping to learn how to create mods using the SDK ver 1.06 Manual. Unfortunately the instructions "How to Mod a Scenario" don't seem to relate to the Scenario chosen. The .csv file referred to bears no resemblance to the description in the manual. Is there a different version of the manual or is this it? I appreciate this was written a good while ago but I'm new to SOW

The SDK is a valuable tool for definitions and reference. It's dated but is still considered the modding bible for SOW. I learned modding by studying the csv files and learning how they work by trial and error, and of course, asking questions. There's not much support staff around lately as they're working on SOW's next game, still, there's lots of knowledgeable SOW community members that fill in and are always willing to help out future modders as yourself.

Good Luck Sir

Does this allow for the creation of maps? Also, is there a tutorial for creating maps?
I've been looking but couldn't find anything.
