WIP AND WILL MISINFORM YOU ABOUT MISSION STYLES WANTED FOR MM MISSION TABLES

This page shows references containing information required to make Mann vs. Machine mission tables, or just mission tables, to the wiki. Be prepared to take a good amount of your time away in just making mission tables.

All & mdash; in mission tables will be intentionally separated with a spacing, as of right now there is no way to make them not appear as — without separating them. The "nowiki" tag does not work.

Valve's missions

Basic Subwave Example

Below this shows a simple subwave taken from Mean Machines's mission tables. The source code can be found below this mission table.

Sub-wave	Class			Count			Delay(s)		Credits
Wave 1 (600 Credits)
1		Hard	—	1	8	8	0	12	200
		Easy	Spawns from the carrier tank or lower tunnel	3	12	48	15	3	400

Basic Subwave's Source Code

Source code:

{|width=100% style="background-color:#fffcf7; border:#79542b 1px solid; text-align:center; margin: auto; clear: both; padding:1px"
|- {{Mvm mission header}}
|-
!colspan="10" style="background:#f9d483"|{{common string|wave}} 1 (600 {{common string|mt credits}})
|-
!rowspan="2" style="background:#fef5e0"|1

|3||12||48

|-
|}

Basic Subwave's Source Code Explanation

From this source code, it shows that:

• Mission tables use {{common string}}, which are used to make the translation process easier or not required for the mission tables. (More about common strings and translation can be viewed through another later section, since that is a slightly more advanced thing.)

!rowspan="2" style="background:#fef5e0"|1

• The rowspan controls how many icons it can fit in the 1 subwave. There are two icons in the mission table, so two. Too less or too much will cause issues with the mission table.

|3||12||48
|15||3
|400

• These three rows control the numbers shown at the right side of the mission table.
  • The first row is responsible for SpawnCount, MaxActive and TotalCount accordingly.
  • The second row is responsible for WaitBeforeStarting and WaitBetweenSpawns / WaitBetweenSpawnsAfterDeath accordingly.
  • The third row is responsible for TotalCurrency.

Regular Wave Example

Below this shows another subwave taken from Mean Machines's mission table. Again, the source code can be found below this mission table.

Sub-wave	Class			Count			Delay(s)		Credits

From here, we can see that:

• How does squadded bots look like in a mission table, and how to make them.
  • Only the squad leader requires the numbers indicating the robots's spawn times, total cash, etc.
    • In front of every number, a rowspan=2| has been added. The number to be put inside the rowspan is based in the amount of unique members in the squad.
  • If there are identical bots, they are to be put in the same row.
• How to deal with custom bots (based off missions tables that are also based off Valve's)
  • Weapons are shown and put at the bottom while the stats are shown starting from the top.
• How does one show that a subwave waits for a bot to all die / spawned before starting.
• Under the Support section, it shows that anything that's unspecified in the popfile is given a & mdash; (—) instead of a zero.

Custom Missions

Regular Custom Wave Example

Here is an example of a regular custom wave used in mission tables. This is taken from Frozen Fortituide.

Sub-wave	Class			Count			Delay(s)		Credits
Wave 1 (600 Credits)
1A		Easy	—	2	12	24	—	3	100
	Shovel Knight	Easy		2	6	12	6	6	100
1B		Easy	—	1	10	25	—	1	100
	Giant Demoknight	Expert	Spawns at gate A's left if allowed  -3s seconds of crits on kill	1	2	2	10	12	100
1C	Crusader	Easy	—	2	6	12	—	5	100
	Super Heavyweight Champ	Expert	Spawns at gate A's left if allowed	1	1	1	15	—	100
Support		Easy	—	1	1	∞	—	2.5	—

As usual, here's the full source code:

Custom bot icon example (with crit borders)

Regular
<div style="display:inline-block; vertical-align:middle"><div style="width:28px; height:28px; background:#1e87b9"></div><div style="position:absolute"><div style="position:relative; top:-26px; right:-2px; width:20px; height:20px; padding:2px 2px; border-radius:4px; background:#ebe4ca;">[[File:leaderboard_class_medic_kritz.png|18px]]</div></div></div>

Giant
<div style="display:inline-block; vertical-align:middle"><div style="width:28px; height:28px; background:#1e87b9"></div><div style="position:absolute"><div style="position:relative; top:-26px; right:-2px; width:20px; height:20px; padding:2px 2px; border-radius:4px; background:#bf1603;">[[File:leaderboard_class_medic_kritz.png|18px]]</div></div></div>

Kritz's bots have a 2px smaller icon, this is intentional to make all icons match the same size.
