Hey, all. I created a mod and tried to play it in Elite (mission) mode, but every time it appears to be defaulting to Veteran mode. Am I missing a setting in the mod somewhere?
You mean every time you selected the mission, the default difficulty was vet? All the missions work like that...
What exactly was the problem? You set it to Elite but when the game started up it was only veteran? Are you sure about that, coz sometimes it can just appear that way since there aren't any differences between vet and elite in the game engine (not like having infinite ammo on recruit or anything I mean).
Sorry to jump in here, mostly because I'm not an IGOR user at all, but I believe the Threat Indicator and the Elite mode have nothing to do with each other... there are mods that turn off the TI, but I've been able to play (the original GR/DS/IT missions) with Elite on and the TI showing me where all the bad guys are. Turning the TI on or off is independent of the mode...
But again, maybe with IGOR there's something I don't know...
Lol J. You obviously haven't played much on Elite, have you?!?
You do still get the TI on elite. You can switch it off in your game options, but that will apply to all difficulty settings. There's also mods that disable it (eg Frostbite), but again, that's for all difficluties.
If you want to be sure what difficulty you're on, put something on the map that's only there on elite, then see if you can see it in game. Or, in your startup scriptblocks, set a continue if response to check for the difficulty, and display a message on the screen to say it's on elite.
