💖 LORDSAWAR-IMPORT 💖

okay bestie, welcome to lordsawar-import, section 6 of the games manual — yes it's a game-adjacent tool, yes it lives in the games corner of the man pages, and yes we're about to make your old Warlords II scenarios slay in LordsAWar! 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lordsawar-import — transfer your scenarios from Warlords II, no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lordsawar-import [OPTION...] [FILE]
lordsawar-import [OPTION...] [DIRECTORY]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this little tool takes your Warlords II .SCZ files and converts them into LordsAWar! map files. iconic ✨

or, if you'd rather, it can work on a directory that contains the unpacked SCZ file instead. and bestie, if you're going the directory route, that directory has to contain .SCN, .ITM, .RD, .MAP, .SPC, and .SGN files. all of them. it's giving very specific, and honestly? valid. 🙈

not me importing the graphics tho — no attempt is made to import the graphics from the Warlords scenario. like, at all. the vibes are staying home. 💀

also lowkey important: this tool does not support importing .SZP files, and it does not support saved game files. periodt. 🚫

the resulting file gets saved as the basename of your FILE or your directory, with a .map extension tacked on. so for example, if you converted a directory called ERYTHEA/, the converted file will be called ERYTHEA.map. main character naming convention honestly 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -a, --army-file FILE — use this Warlords 2 army file. it's a .DAT file, and it is 1798 bytes long — yes, exactly that many, we're not rounding bestie 📏
  • -h, --help — give this help list. a little treat, just for you 🫶

😭 BUGS 😭

okay so we gotta be real for a sec, the tea is slightly spilling:

  • the bottommost row of converted scenarios can often have errors on it. just that one row living its messy life, ngl.
  • unfortunately this tool does not import the contents of cities — the cities themselves will be imported, but they won't have any armies that can be produced. so you get the building, not the squad. 💀
  • ruin defenders are not imported, and neither are the rewards (items) that can be found inside ruins. the ruins are giving empty, fr fr. 🏚️
