at the most basic its just a change in SDescBlock, but depending on what you want to happen, yould have to program a bot or have triggers to have units come in from the side. You'ld need a objective too and misc changes to settings.

Yeah, the reason we didn't include a colony game template in this SDK was because it's just a one line edit. Change the SDescBlock's game type field. Also remember to rename the DLL accordingly so OP2 can find the level. The file that contains the game type defintions also contains some naming information for all the corresponding game types.

I want to add to this, that ALL those definitions, like Colony, Tutorial etc are negative numbers! All positive numbers are used for single-player campaing missions. For a mission 1 use 1, for mission 2 use 2, etc. Makes no difference if its a plymth or eden campaign dll
