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

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

Yes that's right.

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

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

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

change line 23 from:

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

to:

Code:: local tblGroup = tblData

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).
https://gyazo.com/3039579c504754a50679952c34af290a << From this screenshot, you can see only two armies (neutral and 17) spawn for the civilians. It is the same as without the mod, having both armies. Without the mod, civilian structures spawn once, with the mod, they spawn twice.

HardFFA causes civilians to spawn twice?

2019-04-19T05:22:51+02:00

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.
