The SHIV Mission Editor Wish-List

Mm, I voted against it, but now change my mind. It doesn't matter to me. The SH3 mission editor is powerful enough for me.

I don't use the mission editor...but appreciate its usefulness for those that do use it...ya never know I might get to use it myself one day

i think they should take a leaf out of Boheimian Interactive Studios (BIS) book and make one like OFP really easy but can be advanced aswell.

I'd like the option to narrow down objectives and random object generation even more than I currently can.

For example, let's say that I want to make a mission where you are to infiltrate a harbour and sink three specific cargo ships (as they carry a specific important cargo or whatever). In Silent Hunter III, I can't do that - the closest thing I can get is say "Sink three Small Merchants" or "Sink so and so many tonnes of merchant shipping", neither of which are really narrow enough.

It'd be nice if I could designate entities to "special groups", so that for example, the aforementioned target ships in the harbour belonged to "Special Group 1" and the objective was to sink "100% of Special Group 1".

Other options that'd be nice to have would be "ships in zone x", "Ships with so and so much damage", "ships that are out of depth charges", and so on.

Some improvement would be nice.

What I would really like to see, though, is more the campaign engine improvements themselves. I think most of the things you mention as additions are engine improvements more so than ones for the editor...
