[endlevel] giving different results to different sides
Allows specific sides to be issued specific results in multiplayer, instead of everyone getting the same result. See bug#4960, patch#1032.
If [result] tags are found within an [endlevel] tag, the normal result= key will be ignored. If summary=yes is specified in the [endlevel] tag, then instead of specific victory/defeat messages for only local players, each player is shown the victory/defeat status of all sides. Any sides who are not given a specific [result] are either shown a summary or nothing, and their result is defaulted to continue. Observers are shown a "game over" dialog if summary=no, and the summary if summary=yes.
Example WML syntax:
[endlevel]
next_scenario=
bonus= {these are the defaults for all [result] tags}
carryover_percentage=
carryover_add=
summary= {controls whether players are shown a summary of all sides, or just their local victory/defeat messages}
[result]
side=1
outcome=victory {may be victory, defeat, continue, continue_no_save}
fire_events= {yes/no, controls whether victory/defeat events are fired}
[/result]
[result]
side=4
outcome=victory
fire_events=
carryover_percentage= {can override the defaults}
carryover_add=
bonus=
[/result]
[result]
outcome=defeat
side=2,3
fire_events=
[/result]
[/endlevel]
This will issue a victory message for sides 1 and 4, and a defeat message for sides 2 and 3. Side 1 and 4 will have different carryover amounts.
Further discussion needed:
- Handling of name=victory and name=defeat events
- could the default for summary be controlled by a menu option / preference? to allow players to always see a summary...
Another possible format would be as follows: (thanks Sapient for ideas)
[endlevel]
next_scenario=
bonus=
carryover_percentage=
carryover_add=
summary=
[victory]
side=1
fire_events=
[/victory]
[victory]
side=4
carryover_percentage=
carryover_add=
bonus=
fire_events=
[/victory]
[defeat]
side=2,3
fire_events=
[/defeat]
[/endlevel]
This will produce the same result as the above format, but involves less WML typing and is clearer what is going on. For continue and continue_no_save results, there is a [continue] tag in addition to [victory] and [defeat] tags, which takes a save= key.
[continue]
side=
save= {yes/no}
[/continue]
