DIY

100% In-Game Layer Editor. Updated to Squad v4.4

Easily customize the teams/factions, Main base Locations, Capture Point Locations, and much, much more.

Every vanilla AAS and Invasion map is currently supported.

To help players running on older hardware, DIY now also includes a server side option to allow or disallow shadows being toggled on or off. (default shadows forced on). Players can press i in-game to attempt to toggle their shadows on or off, it's allowance is enforced by the servers settings.

Editing layers is offline only. Uploading custom layers to a server requires ftp access to the server.


To Access In Game Layer Editor:
Open console (Tilde (~))
AdminChangeLayer DIY_<Map_Name> that you want to edit.

Right click and drag to move editor camera, scroll to zoom. Editor camera and user interface will automatically appear when you spawn in any DIY layer in single player mode. Editor functionality is not accessible in multiplayer servers. If mouse cursor gets hidden for whatever reason, press p to force it to show the mouse.

There is also a map interface in the bottom right. Click and drag icons to move them, click once to select, double click to teleport to them. You can also right click on the map to open a menu that allows for adding new actors (spawns, cap zones, ect)

DIY save files are now in JSON format and are located in your SquadGame/ServerConfig/DIY/ Folder
