Can I install mods so that they appear in the map editor?

I install mods and they work fine in the map builder as a skirmish, but I can't save them. Is it possible to do something that makes me able to save maps made using moddes peices, through the map editor or saving the map in singleplayer skirmish? Thanks in advance.

Data made it so no one would download a map .ini that had a dependence on an rte the downloader might not have had. Maybe in future builds.

I am at work right now, so I can't check it for certainty, but you need to be sure that in the specified map folder there's a 'scenes' folder. If the scenes folder is not there you can seemingly save a map without errors, but it won't actually save anything since it probably can't create the folder. Edit: Ah, I know what you really mean now. Well, you can, if you make sure the specific mod is loaded from within the base.rte folder. Just add it in the base.rte/scenes.ini or something. Edit2: What Pencil_dude said. Nice clear explanation. Last edited by Gotcha! on Wed Jul 30, 2008 2:00 pm, edited 1 time in total.

IncludeFile = Base.rte/Scenes/Objects/BunkerModules/BunkerModules.ini IncludeFile = Base.rte/Scenes/Objects/TutorialBunker/TutorialBunker.ini IncludeFile = Base.rte/Scenes/Objects/BunkerBits/BunkerBits.ini IncludeFile = Base.rte/Scenes/Objects/Geology/Geology.ini //////////////////////////////////////////////// add the lines from the index.ini from the mod. like so Code: //////////////////////////// // Bunker Modules! IncludeFile = BunkerEnhanced.rte/Modules.ini IncludeFile = BunkerEn-RSet.rte/Modules.ini IncludeFile = Base.rte/Scenes/Objects/BunkerModules/BunkerModules.ini IncludeFile = Base.rte/Scenes/Objects/TutorialBunker/TutorialBunker.ini IncludeFile = Base.rte/Scenes/Objects/BunkerBits/BunkerBits.ini IncludeFile = Base.rte/Scenes/Objects/Geology/Geology.ini //////////////////////////////////////////////// for the BunkerEnhanced and BunkerEN-RSet mod's
