WA Mission Customization Guide

Mission files

W:A missions are comprised from a .wam file, which contains the mission settings in a INI-like format, and a .img file, which contains an image representing the mission's landscape.

The .wam file contains a parameter called Name, in the Description section. This parameter specifies the mission's internal index, and it affects the image's diplayed name and description, and also dictates which image file will this mission use.

Please note that only 5 of the .img files from the CD:\Data\Mission\ folder are actually used. The other images are loaded from the CD:\Data\Image\ folder, according to the following table:

Internal index (Name= parameter)	Mission name	Used image file
1	Chateau Assassin.	CD:\data\Image\Chateau.img
