hull-factions

Arma 2 and 3 factions used to generate mission.sqm for Hull.

##How to add a new faction

Before you submit new a faction, make sure these conditions are met:

• The mission.sqm ONLY contains the units of said faction, NO markers, triggers, game logics!
• The new faction unit positions won't collide with other factions!

Steps to do:

• To ensure no collison with other factions, find a sufficiently big enough area for the new units. If you are not sure where the other factions are, just generate a mission.sqm with all of the available factions. Open it in the editor and find a place and note it. From here you can either delete the factions by hand (which is slow), or generate an empty mission.sqm by not selecting any factions.
• Place the new units on the map in the editor and save it. Remember NO markers, triggers, game logics!
• Fork and clone hull-factions repo if you haven't already.
• Open factions.json. Check the existing factions of the game you made the new faction. Name the faction something unique, that is not already in that list. Also you need a name for the file that will contain the faction units, it has to be something unique too. In this example we will use the name Bruce Army Desert and file name bruce_army_desert.sqm for Arma 2. Now add a new line to faction list. Something like this:

    {
        "arma2": {
            "HULL_EMPTY_DEFAULT": "hull_empty_default.sqm",
            "USMC Woodland": "usmc_woodland.sqm",
            "Russia Woodland": "ru_woodland.sqm",
            "Bruce Army Desert": "bruce_army_desert.sqm"
        },
        "arma3": {
            ...
        }
    }

Notice that we added a , at the end of the last faction line, and we didn't for the new faction.

• Now copy the mission.sqm that you saved previously into the game's folder you've choosen. Rename it to the file name you put in factions.json. For example, we would have arma2/bruce_army_desert.sqm.
• Now make a pull request with your changes and wait for it to be accepted.
