Mission map icon like career map ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,

 

Is it possible to have map icons and text like on "career mode" ?

 

Especialy the text.

 

I found some group icon on scg/14/blocks_career/icons/map_markers but nothing about frontline and text (like "3rd Panzer group" etc..).

 

Where i can found some others group model for map icons ?

 

Sincerely yours

I could be wrong, but I think that the career map icons and text are created using Adobe Flash, which gives you more graphical options than the editor map graphics.

 

Scripted campaigns use Flash for improved map graphics.

Re,

 

Thanks, 

 

Flash can be use in a multiplayer dogfight or cooperatibe mission or only on carreer and campaign ?

I don't know for sure but I would guess it could be used for any mission type. The only Flash references I have seen in developer documents is for creating campaigns and for the Media Type option in the media translator MCU (which I cover on pg. 268 of the editor manual).

I think that it works in multiplayer, but i never tried. Maybe Vanders try it.

Ok,

 

Found it on editor manual (already use it in rof editor), they play animation for all players in game.

 

I can't use it to modify map (ingame map).

You are not modifying the map itself; you are overlaying a single frame Flash file containing the enhanced graphics onto the map. See the sixth bullet of step 3 in the DRAFT scripted campaign document. I suspect that the Flash filename (xxxx.swf) would need to match the mission file name (xxxx.mission). For campaigns, however, the format is given at the bottom of pg. 41 in the draft doc.

As Jim said, it's a kind of picture that you display.

Re,

 

Yes modify is not correct.

 

I try to export one jpeg image into swf files and rename it as the same of mission files, but no effect on ingame map.
