We're releasing a pretty massive update today in Rise of Flight.

The last BOS update this year is scheduled on 22nd-23rd of December, it's going to include skin viewer and several bug fixes.

Just perfect! We celebrates christmas on 24th Dec here in Norway. Thanks a lot, i will wrap it in and give it to myself :-)

I'm still new to this game and forum.

 

What is this FMB everyone keeps mentioning?

Edited December 21, 2014 by CDN-SMOKEJUMPER

Full Mission Builder is what it stands for, and has its pendant in RoF as "RoFeditor.exe", also called EMB/Enhanced Mission builder.

 

a map, a bag of objects both alive and dead, and tons of triggers and other elements to help you set up a scenario.
 

[ACG_Smokejumper]

So we could make multiplayer maps or is a single player feature?

 

 

Thanks!

[Yakdriver]

not maps - maps are already in the game and serve as a backdrop on which you create Missions - both on- and offline type.

[ACG_Smokejumper]

Sorry, variations on the big map.

 

Maybe summer?

[LizLemon]

Fmb is just a mission maker, so people can create new missions, campaigns and online mp missions.

 

There are tools for making maps in rof but they arent official tools. Someone is making a new map for bos but I cant find the thread.

[Yakdriver]

Like a Playground.

 

you choose the map you want to play on.
then you get an unlimited amount of planes, cars tanks and spawn points, triggers that make these things act the way you want.

you can place the objects, and set them to do things like take off, loiter, bomb stuff, land, drop parachutes, whatever.

you set tanks and trains to move where you want them, make them stop when you want them.

when a certain plane reaches a certain point or does a certain thing that you told it to do--- an enemy plane pops up and does another thing because you program it to do that.

 

You get to use the things that are in the game like a movie director would.

but do not get to create, alter, fiddle with anything.
No new maps. no lazer gunz. no flying Bismarck.

 

The resulting file describes what happens on the Map - what weather is, what time is, how long the mission lasts...

like this but a shatload more complex.

an old video about the FMB in IL-2 1946

 

a newer Video about the EMB in rise of flight - i understand the one from BoS will be  almost the same.

[Jaegermeister]

Didn't Jason say that there was a 90% chance of the fmb before the end of the year?

What do you mean change our mind? There are some really strange perceptions in this thread about our ME plans.

 

The ME will be released this year (90% sure) and it will be the same format as the one for ROF. Very powerful, but not super intuitive. No time or resources to re-vamp the interface right now.

 

We need to strip out the remnants that remain from ROF and add in functionality that is only found in BOS mission tech. There are some differences.

 

If we can find a way in the future we will try to make it more user friendly for novices. If not, everyone will still have it and if they can learn how to use it they can make some great, complex and interesting missions.

Apparently not happening by the end of the year after all.....

[Yakdriver]

yup... last update for this year is 22/23 (today tomorrow) and contains the skins viewer.
looking forward to paint during Christmas.

[LukeFF]

It's not like they've been sitting around doing nothing.

[A-E-Hartmann]

Updated today or tomorrow .Can not wait .  

[SR-F_Winger]

I really cant wait to make my skins too. PLEASE GIMME NOW!

[1./JG42Nephris]

Didn't Jason say that there was a 90% chance of the fmb before the end of the year?

 

 

if {90% != 99.99%} then {10% == 99.99%}

else {0.01% == 100%}

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

Don't worry eat a cookie, you will forget all about it.

[Bearcat]

This is the one!

[vonLazan]

No new maps. no lazer gunz. no flying Bismarck.

 

[Guest deleted@1562]

It's not like they've been sitting around doing nothing.

 

I guess the single programmer has his or her hands full. Maybe they should hire one more?

[Solmyr]

Done !
