MP Campaign map with no pirates and more planets??

[dougsmithuk]

Hi,

 

Is it possible to mod one of the existing maps to remove the pirates in MP campaign games?  Theyre way overpowered at the moment and ruin the enjoyment   If someone could add a map with more planets and no pirates that would be amazing!!

 

Any ideas how to do this or if its possible?

 

Cheers

Basically, I just want to know how to create a Multiplayer map that will appear under the custom menu and that I can pass to my friends.

 

I've extracted the .xml files and found the file called "Campaigns_multiplayer.xml". I've opened it and it lists "Pirate starting forces". I have deleted these, but am stuck on what to do with the xml files to make them appear as a "Custom Map" within the multiplayer game menu.

 

What do I do next?

 

If this isnt the way to do it, could someone point out to me how to make new multiplayer maps please

Figured it all out (thanks for no help!).  Now I have the following in MP:

 

1. 42 Player Multiplayer Map in conquest

2. No pirates

3. Have slowed down ship movement speed between planets making hyperspace travel slower

4. Imperial Infantry now move out of the way of tanks instead of being crushed

 

Cant find a way to make damage persistant so assuming this isnt possible
