We have released a new version of the tours.ini generator, if you'd rather edit your tours.ini this is how to do it.

Its much like adding a map. I'll show you the bits to change in red, or add in green.

A) First.. Increase the tour count, like the map count, this is at the top of the ini.

* Defined Tours for America's Army
[Tours]
NumTours=32

B) Next add the generated tour, its only part way down the file, after the last tour and before the basic training definitions.

***************************************************************
* Tour "AAO TEST TUBE STUDIOS" (31)
* Depends on tour: "Basic Training"
* Join in at our community or update your ini at http://www.aaotts.com 
* To report a problem with an entry, record the AAOTTS ID# for the mission.
***************************************************************
Tour(31)=AAO TEST TUBE STUDIOS
Dependency(31)=0
Image(31)=None
TourText(31)=mission_tour
TourTextTitle(31)=AAO TEST TUBE STUDIOS
TourRolloverText(31)=AAOTTS - Unathorized User Created Missions
HistoryText(31)=AAOTTS
HistoryTextTitle(31)=Unauthorized User Maps Overview
IsSequential(31)=0
IsTraining(31)=0

***************************************************************
* Missions for Tour: "Basic Training" (0)
***************************************************************

C) Now create an entry for each map you want in the tour. Make sure you set the NumMission=1 to the number of missions you have.  Create the map entries starting at 0, next would be map 1 etc, the red 0 shows you what to change for each map entry.

What each field means...
MissionTitle is the Name of the mission.
MissionImage and MissionImageDisabled can be left as none.
MissionMapFilename this should be the file name of the map without the .aao extention.
MissionNMLFilename should be left as a / .

***************************************************************
