Looking for a Mission Creator Tutorial

09-30-10, 12:59 PM

Greetings all,

I killed a tree and printed out the mission editor user manual. Does anyone out there have a step by step guide to creating a basic scenario? It can be something off YouTube or even a Word or PDF document. I just need something simple. You know short sentences and little words. I'm ex-Army so it's gotta be simple.

That is all! Carry on!

I'd like to see something like this too but haven't been able to find it so far.

I don't know of a basic tutorial. But I really recommend that you take the plunge and start building a mission. The manual tells you everything you need to know, but you will learn more by trial and error - once you start, the basic principles will drop into place.

I used to make missions for SC a lot, but have only just started to explore the DW editor, which is more complex, and at times seems a bit less intuitive than the SC version. I'm still learning the more intriciate bits, but would be happy to advise you if you run into problems.

Maybe you could briefly explain a few things. I'm looking to create a simple scenario with two playable platforms on opposing sides.

It would consist of three objects:
- FFG (playable, side0)
- Ohio SSBN (side0)
- Kilo (playable, side1)

The critical objective is to protect/kill (side0/1) the SSBN.

The SSBN would be setup in a patrol box.

How would I do the following?

- set tactics for the FFG and Kilo?
- set triggers so that:
-- side0 wins if the kilo is destroyed
-- side0 loses if the SSBN is destroyed
-- side1 wins if the SSBN is destroyed

This would be very helpful.

Is this intended to be a single-player mission with a choice of two platforms? I have never done a MP mission, but I assume the principles are similar.

Yes, I should have been clear: an SP mission with choice of platforms/sides.

I ran into the RA mod and that started me back into DW. I am refreshing myself in making MP missions that I can play in single player. It is only a matter of trial and error and remembering...

I hope that RA mod will spark some interest in the DW game again.
