[MOW:Vietnam]New missions

[Force10]

Men of Peace,

It's kinda strange but the second mission won't load anymore. After I hit the spacebar, the spinning windows circle thing shows up and I have an error when I alt tab out. I re-extracted the second mission out of the original zip that I know worked but no go. I haven't changed anything in my install.

Just finish the 2nd mission, thanks for that. The helo is not what I expect. Here is my suggestion for improvement

It should behave like any other units. Left click on the ground and it should fly to that point rather than crash onto it.

Click "exit" on an open area or rice field should result the helo landing and pilot exit alive. At the moment, they just jump to their dead.

One of the helo start with zero fuel, so it can't be move. But it can stay in the air forever.

The "return fire" and "fire at will" and "free to move" does not work. In another word, it is a sitting duck. Luckily the VC don't like to shoot at it, they just point their gun to it. Surely they can fire rpg or heavy machine gun against helo.

I hope it is possible to make these changes. Thanks in advance.

Hello Men Of Peace, I love the work you do for the community and I thought that maybe it is possible to merge my extra units to your new campaigns, I've sent a PM about it but I didn't know you rarely check your mail so I thought to give you a heads up about it.

that actually might be good news if you are able to
identify the problem , what error message do you get ?

Hey man , first of all the best way to control a heli is with direct
control not mouse , and page up page down you set it's height ,
and this is how the helis are coded in this game .
IMO 1c didn't made the helis available to players exactly because
of this reason . because they are annoying to use ,and overpowered
if there are no AA guns around .

Men Of Peace, I finally managed to get all the missions working and completed every1 except the Hamburger Hill (it's awesome, but I just can't complete it )
And I've decided to put a hold on my so called "project" until the release of the patch as I thought the missions wouldn't work properly and all the effort would be wasted....

Soooo, I've been tossing this idea for a mission in my head for some time, and I thought I'd share it with you:

It is called Fight Fire With Fire and basically a US peaceful convoy, carrying the wounded and medicine, was utterly crushed by the NVA and HQ has lost contact with them and your team is sent in.

You find the convoy and get ambushed by the NVA and run into the jungle (or some other shelter) and call in for reinforcements (tanks, infantry, airstikes) and manage to fight off the enemy ambush team, (consisting of possibly a tank and a lot of infantry) at which point you find an enemy supply depot which is heavily guarded and you get the task to destroy it.

However, things go wrong while you try to destroy it and NVA call in a massive backup (tanks, helis, APC's and loads of infantry) and you have to hold out until the backup arrives (the defence lasts about 30 minutes, enemy spawns when only a few units of the first wave are left, for eg. 40 units of infantry as a 1st wave, when only 5 are left, 2nd "heavily armed" wave launches) during the time you have available only howitzer and airstike support; ideally your "army" will consist of 3-4 tanks and 30-50 infantry... not to mention some ZU-23's which were already at the base

[at the begining, when ambushed, spawn 3-4 tanks and 20-30 infantry and set them as allies, then when you get the task to destroy the depot, transfer them to your command]

Feel free to make any changes, or don't make the map at all.
It's totally your call, I just thought I'd give you an idea

Note: The best way to do this is to make "some" changes to the Bon Voyage To Cambodia map as it already has a sort of a supply depot.

men of peace , i sent you a PM.

Hello, Men Of Peace

Wanted know if you were going to produce any more sp missions?

Thanks for your work.

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.
