Custom Missions

Custom Missions is a feature available in the CTGP-7 modpack that allows loading extra missions for the Mission Mode via the MyStuff folder.

Custom missions are loaded by placing them in the MyStuff/Missions folder. Each mission should be placed in a subfolder with the name cup-level where cup is the cup number and level is the course number inside the cup. Inside the subfolder, the files listed below can be placed.

settings.cmsn

This file contains all the configuration for the mission, and can be generated using the CTGP-7 EveryFileExplorer plugin. After installing the plugin, new files can be created through File -> New -> CTGP-7 Plugin -> Custom Mission, or existing files can be opened through File -> Open....
