[MOW:Vietnam]New missions

[ugopierini]

I'm working on a new mission but i don't know when it will be complete. I have a prob: is there a height limit in map making? I'm asking cos in my map men don't shoot above 1250 meters. Above that height they kill eachother only by knives and hands. That's strange.

hey people ,
Man o' war that sound like a great idea for a mission ,we'll
see about it in the future ,maybe you can also work on it
when the editor released .

MACV yes I will , just had a really busy few weeks in work ,
barely have time for modding ,I'm in the middle of making a city
defensive map ,but for that i need to import city houses
models from MOW , so I'm trying to find the balance between
town that looks good and to keep the file size as small as
possible as well .
so it also takes more time .
Just hope there wont be any problems with importing
models from MOW from the copyright angle .

ugopierini I'll check the update soon ,thanks .
it will take me more time then the usual to check it .
see the reason above .

and as for the heights , going too high is buggy, above
certain heights , you can see the sky box from above
and it looks real bad . you can see on the hamburger
hill mission ,the highest point in the map ,is right on the
border on the point were it turns ugly .

Men Of Peace, I've finished 90% of that map, still have to make the enemy counterattack...

I've been wanting to import a flashlight from a mod for the MOW, and when I place it in the editor it has its shape (it even glows at night, as its supposed to) but when I pick it up it turns into a ! and it doesn't glow...

I've imported the "fonar_ruchn" (thats the name of the lamp file) into MOWV resource/e3.pak file (it's under "weapons")

I was wondering if you'd know if I did something wrong?

I'll get some pics as soon as I can.

2 things ,you dont need to import stuff into the pak file ,
just recreate the folder in the same order outside the pak
and import the files to that folder (preferably in a mod folder,
you can try it in the vnewmissions folder for example) .

second thing , did you imported the related files from the
\Resource\set\stuff folder of the mod you tried to import the
flashlight from ?

cool man , when you finish it send it over and if you want
I'll add it to the next release (if it's working without problems
and not impossible to beat).

I have a problem with doors in game(not gates, they work correctly). I can order doors to open when i want with triggers ,but they are seen by ai human as locked. I put animation with open command and i also used entity state trigger (i set them "opened"in tag) but ai humans don't pass throught the door . I always must to unlock doors directly(a locker icon appears) to make them work properly.

OK. So how do I send the mission files to you?

Try adding "effect" trigger (i think its under "other" or "generic") and in the effect box type in "open" to open then (after a delay) "close" to close.
