Creating new career base

I started dabling in SH4 mission editor but don't know if I should save as scripted, rnd etc, and also have no clue where the ENUM's come from in flotillas.upc.

Can anyone help ?

TIA.

To create a location: Tools---> Map Location Edit Mode. That will allow you to add locations to the map right-clicking on it (Add Map Location).

In SH4 you should only use normal missions, even for the career.

DepartureDescriptionOut1= 983565.000000, 6424500.000000, 000.0000

In flotillas.upc

Plus;

EntryFocalPointLong=16095615.000000
EntryFocalPointLat=1730000.000000

IN dynamicmiss.cfg

I can't see a way in mission editor to display coordinates from the map ... so I'm stuck with how to work out these numbers.

The coordinates where the mouse pointer is appear in the bottom line. The first pair [m] is the one used. The third number in DepartureDescriptionX is the direction of the ship in degrees. This is used to place your boat in port at the start, if you add a few ones (DepartureDescription1, DepartureDescription2 etc) I think that the game randomly chooses one. DepartureDescriptionOutX is to start your boat already at sea.

No idea about the stuff in dynamicmiss.cfg
