Mission Editor?

D-Jones · 05-07-23, 02:43 PM

Is there a decent guide for the mission editor? I'm running TMO and RSRDC. Problem is that there are A LOT of single merchants to make sleep with the fish till VJ Day but, seemingly, very few convoys/escorts after the first year of the war. Without RSRDC, TMO's just the opposite. Too many escorts with superhuman ability (if you can find one). That's been my experience anyway. A mod that addresses this would be even better.

Any help would be appreciated.

lol. not really. it comes down to picking up a few hints and practicing.
there is a page from a few years ago that should get you started.

Here is the one from SH3 that Nordfront did years ago:

Silent Hunter III Mission Editor User's Guide a pdf file. That is a temporary link, so get it while it's hot! lol - one of these days, we'll get around to adding more to that for SH4 compatibility. Most of it does apply in SH4, other than the "Mission" "Parameters" portion of the app, though it is still basically the same, just broken into separate sections for SH4.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to check it out.

Incidentally, I've never tried FotRS, mainly because it keeps crashing. Two questions-does it somewhat address the merchant/convoy "problem"? And--how does LAA work? Do you just drop it in the folder?

Thanks.

^ thank you for the links to the help guides

Opened the .mis file with a file editor, seems to be to my untrained eye .xml style code? Mission editor nothing under the help menu.
