Hi...
I just thought about the idea that some players might want to edit the entry points to make them fit their (personal) idea of history more.
But seeing the actual structure of the game this would require to overwrite one of the other entry points (early, high or late) in order to make the game load the edited scenario-files.
In my opinion that's a pretty ugly way, so I'd like to come up with a suggestion to work around this problems without screwing up KoH's interface with a 'Load custom scenario'-button:
The user should be able to specify entry-points in the commandline of KoH. That means the player can optionally start the executable of KoH like this:
".../knights of honor/koh.exe -map high"
Then the game would immediately start the kingdom-selection screen of the entrypoint that is saved in
".../knights of honor/scenarios/high".
If the game can't find this map, or it's format is corrupted it starts KoH the usual way.
Comments:
- I guess this is something for one of the patches, but I really hope you think of all the players who would like to play custom maps and thus enhance the game and the lifetime of the community.
- If you (the reader of this post) don't have a clue about what I want, or think that I want to make the "Select period"-buttons obsolete, this post isn't for you ;) . Sorry.
