[TEC] Mission Editor Discussion
 

All -

I would like to open a thread regarding the new mission editor, different ways to utilize it and how to approach it's interface coming from the older versions.




I will start with a pretty obvious question most will have coming from the SH3/4 editor and that is:

How do I edit a single mission (Multiplayer mission?)
Currently all I can see is how to open "project" files which are the campaign layers basically if you want to relate them to SH3/4. Where from here do you go to load a single mission or create a new one?

Hey Dig, good games last night....

You need to open the project and than open existing mission or create a new one.

So open a campaign project or start a blank one and than add existing mission by finding the .misge files in the MultiMission or Campaign folders.

You can add any .misge file to any project.

Just been playing with the editor today. Managed to create a
mission to test ai subs. For some reason the mission spawns 3 of each unit I placed on the map- and they stack on each other so they take damage and sink.
I'm trying to see if the u class will actually torpedo axis units.... No joy as of yet.......I will keep you all posted on this

I hate the mission editor. I had one all nicely laid out, but it just simply won't get into the game. :( There seems to be a right way and a wrong way and doing the wrong way means the right way won't work anymore. :(

We'll see. I could really use a tutorial or step by step thingie. :)

Hi JU88,

I am just about done a taskforce mission and was able to add 2 AI british subs with no problems. I am just making a MP mission if that helps.

You can use the old manual it still applies for the most part.

The big change is the new project files (.pj).

If you can explain your problem more or maybe show a screenie of your mission we may be able to help.

Same problem, only I have 2 of each unit I placed, including my own sub. All stuck to its twin brother... This is a simple single player mission.

So we know the multiplayer missions don't have this problem, but has anybody create a successfull single mission?

Odd I am not seeing this same problem are these multiplayer missions you guys are working on??

Here is a shot of one I am working on (MP Of course):

No, single player :DL
Can you delete the other subs or make them AI and try your mission as single player? I don't think I'm doing anything wrong because the process is pretty basic.. But two guys having the same problem, there must be something..

Mwahahaha that looks good :)
Wait till you see what I have in mind. I want to test this one you created with you tonight though if possible.

Let's just say a Gibraltar run, but not by just your sub :D

Ok here's a tip, to open up the campaign projects that come with the game, the project files are in data\campaigns\CampaignProjects.

Here's Total Germany project, the layers are accessible on the right pane, it's great, takes a while to load, beware, but after that check out the layers, especially wolfpacks!

Yep, I'm around for testing ;]

Awesome stuff indeed ;]

Are you starting them off submerged?

Alright got it working now.
Don't know what I did different than the first 10 times but they don't appear in multiple numbers anymore .
