HardFFA causes civilians to spawn twice?

[UnorthodoxBox]

While testing a map, i noticed Hard FFA mod causes civilians to spawn twice, and i was wondering if there is any solution to this.
The log from the game WITHOUT the mod: https://pastebin.com/cfeaJYkd .
The log from the game WITH Hard FFA mod: https://pastebin.com/dwvEFQUN

I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me figure out what causes this.

When i start the mod then i don't see civilan armies at all.
What options do i need to set ?

What map are you using ?

If you press [ALT]+[F2] ingame, how many civilian armies do you see ? Mabye 2 ?

Civilian: ARMY_9
Cicilian: NEUTRAL_ARMY

The map used is Alpha 7 Battle Royale (an map made for experimental game type) and the only options are the default ones (other than Hard FFA mod being turned on).

ScenarioUtils.CreateArmyGroup() is called from the mods simInit.lua file,
but CreateArmyGroup() is also called from the map script file (alpha_7_battle_royale_script.lua)
( ScenarioUtils.InitializeArmies() is already executing CreateArmyGroup() )

That's why all units from the map file are created twice.

Go to the mod file:

Code: Select all

[...]\Mods\Hard FFA (ACUS spawn in T2 transport in center)\hook\lua\simInit.lua

change line 23 from:

Code: Select all

local tblGroup = ScenarioUtils.CreateArmyGroup( strArmy, 'INITIAL')

to:

Code: Select all

local tblGroup = tblData

would this mean everyone would have to edit the mod file or else it will desync?

[Uveso]

Yes that's right.

It is a sim mod, and everyone needs the same change/file or it will desync at the first tick.

is there a way i can change the map instead?

[Uveso]

No you can't.
If you do so, then the map won't work without the mod.

[UnorthodoxBox]

Well the map is designed to be played ONLY with the mod, so it should be alright then, correct? The map should not be played without Hard FFA
