Mission Making Question

hachiman · 03-27-07, 02:09 PM

Thanx Guys.

I've also worked out how to make Commando and Photo Recon Missions.

Last question.

In the Missions that come with the game the briefings have the background map of the area you will be patrolling.
I can't replicate this.
So how do i add the map to the briefing?

Thanx

It's easy to add a .tga file.

Simply add the .tga file you have created into the data/singlemission/SM** directory where ** is the number of your mission. Then add #filename.tga#0,0,400,256 in the mission briefing section of "Language Localization."

I did this for a S-44 v. Kako mission[SM12 Kako] that I made (haven't released it yet...waiting for the next patch to solve TDC problems). I added a picture of the Kako instead of a map...In the mission briefing section of "Language Localization", I added #SM12 Kako.tga#0,0,400,256 This added the picture!

Be sure to use the "#" sign at the beginning and end of the tga file name. I believe that the first pairing of numbers 0,0 is the 'reference point' on where the program places that .tga file in the briefing window. The other set of numbers 400,256 is the displayed width and height of that tga.

Can anyone help out a total noob by explaining what's in a .tga file, & how to create one (what needs to be in it)? I'm getting better at creating missions in SH3, but I would like to try SH4. I know this link is old, but it's the only one I found related to this subject. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you. Nevermind- in the weeks that have passed, & noticing no help from anyone, I figured it out myself. Thanks anyway!
