Tutorial/help needed...populating maps


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've been browsing several tutorials about missionmaking, but can't find what i'm lookin for.

There is heaps of tutorials about how to add new airpalnes, tanks and vehicles + artillery. And how to trigger events and onlinethings.

But what comes to adding houses/villages and factories plus harbor templates very few or  nothing...  I did post a query @mods forum about farms and villages as a mod.

They told me that it can be done "fairly easy" with mission editor.

 

For me it looks very difficult. Compared to Il2 1946 and CLOD. I would like to make a template with good amount of buildings at combat zone, say Bastogne and Hauffalitze for example.

Is there any tutorials for that kind of thing?

 

Anyways, i start making missions, because it is propably fun.

I used to make some campaigns with DCG for IL2 1946. I also did several maps, mostly with Acracier. Biggest was Our Karelia map. I wish i could do that wirh BOX too...

OR.. Maybe someone who have skills could make a template with villages and tutorial for beginners like me. I dunno how many have used any of mission templates for Il2 1946, but that is on my mind.

It does not need to have airplanes. Just kinda quick start guide how to...

 

Best would be if we could have easy populating tool, iike SYN:Vanders easy mission tool..but only for buildings and static objects.

If you go into the"File" menu and select "Import from file" (or something similar, not at pc right now), then navigate to the game's "data/templates" folder, there are preset groups to import for each map. Importing those groups leaves then in the correct positions.

I'll try that. Thank You!

But first i need to figure out basics of Mission Editor.

That is basic. Very basic. It's pretty much the first thing you do after setting all the map's terrain parameters (map properties box after selecting the map you want). Those parameters have to match each other.

Salutations,

 

I strongly recommend this guide. Download and go through it step by step and you will acquire a basic knowledge base for the full editor use. :coffee:

Look under the "Mission Editor and Multiplayer Server Guides" section of the IL-2 Sturmovik Resources post.
