Yeah, "the boy is back in town" as you say. I've trawled around, and I think I'm just about caught up now. Well, in the mod forum anyway...

Anyway. What I was going to say. That quick mission you asked me for last week, based on the castle map in the daytime? Well, as promised, I've written it. It has about 70 enemies on elite, which is as much as I wanted to put on such a small map, really. There's some scripting there for you to follow, and (with reference to all the posts I've just been reading), there's an enemy to capture (use of Captive Behaviour), and reinforcements (use of hidden actors, which get revealed through the scripting). There's also some effects like you asked for: explosions when you place a demo charge, inc debris, damage to nearby actors, fire burning for a while afterwards etc. There's also a tiny bit of stealthiness involved - you sneak in, and if the enemy gets alerted, they call for reinforcements - unless you blow up their radio first, that is...

Anyway. I've got it with me, but I have to tell you now: I've played it through once, found some glitches, and fixed them. I'm now fairly sure it's right, but I haven't had chance to fully test it. So it's up to you: you can have it today, or I can do some more work on it tonight, and you can have it Wednesday (I'm out of the office again tomorrow!)... Your call, just let me know and I'll email it to ya.

It won't crash (lol), but it might not have everything functioning quite right. Although I'm fairly confident I've got it sorted now. You'll need DS and IT activated to play it btw...

Ok,...mail it to me! I'll be sure to have a close look at it!

I made some more weapons! Take a look at the 'Some more pics' post.

Very glad it finally works....(most of the times)

What did you think of the models? Need some touch-up or...?

I don't mind a bit of "touching up", as long as it's a pretty girl doing it...

I'll have to have a look at Cob's maps... Cheers for the link, I'll use it later - I'm a bit busy getting caught up at work after being away for so long...!

Jake

Oh f**king right! You wait for me to go away for a day, and only then do you have the courage to throw the insults around! Cowardly and spineless, that's what you are! All of you... Jake, you're meant to be on MY side!!!

Your side?? Your BACKside?

(See! I do have the courage to diss you when you are back! )

Lol...

I have tried your mission.....damn you Gav!! Damn you! I got killed almost straight away!! As soon as it starts there are so many of them!

First I picked a good team. All different kinds of weapons. Result: Got killed.

Second try; I picked some guys with the OICWGL...got some of them...
Result: Got killed.

Third try; Picked all heavy weapons I could get my hands on! Got all of them outside!! Woohoo!!! Entered the castle with my two(!) remaing soldiers.
Result: Got killed.

I also took a look at it in IGOR...Where did you get all those effects from? I've got a list with effects, but all different from the ones you used.

Hahahahahhahahahahahaha!!! (That's my "evil maniac" laugh, btw!)

Come, to be fair, you did say you liked to have a hard fight with lots of tangoes, so you got your wish!

Besides, I don't know what your problem is: there's only five or six of them outside! What's so difficult? Getting inside the castle's the easy bit. It's all the stuff inside it that's hard! It's no wonder you haven't finished Sigma Claw yet if you can't manage that!! I can give you a hint for the castle one if you like - just ask. I don't want to tell you if you don't want to know, that's all... Don't want to spoil things for you unless you're REALLY stuck!

The effects... well, I assume you mean the types. They're taken from the original missions. I just found a mission that had the effect I wanted, and copied the type from that to use in my own missions. There's a good one to look at on... I think it's mission 8 of GR - the one on the "Battlefield" map anyway. Open it up in Igor - an enemy tank gets destroyed by an airstrike. And it's triggered in the scripting too. Have a look at it if you like to see how it was done. I've managed to re-create the same thing in my missions just by looking at though, so it should be quite helpful to you... Another good one is the final mission of IT - you can take a look at how the buildings blow up and kill you if you're too close - I put that in the castle mission too (so consider yourself warned!!).

I trust the mission is what you wanted? Apart from being perhaps a little bit too hard? My brother said it was difficult when he tried it. I had to give him a little hint to help him out, coz he was really struggling as well...

If your effects aren't working, it may be because you haven't got the right types... Where did you get your list from?

Evil Maniac,



Only 6 outside?! YOU LIAR LIAR!!

Maybe at first, but only after a few minutes there are a whole sh1tload of them...and they can shoot well too!! Must have used the veterans or elite actors?!

I got a list of effect from one of the sites...

They look like: SMOKE_LARGE_TYPE1 / FIRE_MEDIUM_TYPE2 etc etc...They all look like that...Nothing like you used...did you just copy them from original maps or do you have a list of them?

I don't mind being an evil maniac - always fancied myself as a bit of a mad scientist anyway!

Yes, only half a dozen or so outside. As you said: at first. The rest come afterwards, and they are based on half decent actors. The real killer is their grenades... But they take a while to get there, so why you couldn't move and get to a better position after hitting the initial group I don't know! Anyway... do you want a hint for the mission or not?

I've seen some effects look like that, so I can't tell you whether they're right or wrong. The effects in the mission I sent you are just copied straight from other missions by Red Storm. I think I might have a list somewhere, but it's one I've compiled myself, taken out of those missions. I think I may have a list I downloaded from somewhere, but I can't remember for sure. And I certainly wouldn't remember where I got it... I can have a look though, and forward it to you if I find one...

So you always fancied being a mad scientist? never made it to scientist, but achieved becoming a madman?!? Well done! -lol-

Please send me the list if you find it...Will be very usefull!

Yes,..there are 6 or so outside, but the others come very quickly after the boxmessage. Maybe I should have ran like hell and got me to a saver place...Will do later!

Run, run, run, as fast as you can. You can't catch me: I'm the Gingerbread Man!! (That'll probably only make sense if you've seen Shrek...)

There's an easier way of doing it... But I'm only going to tell you if you want me to. If you want to work it out yourself, that's fine...

The madman bit is arguable, but I never made it to a scientist - although I am an engineer; does that count??

I'll see what I've got in terms of effects. I'll email you whatever I find. If nothing else, you'll get a list of the effects that I use a lot of...

A mad engineer? That will do fine I guess!

Thanks in advance for any list you can come up with...

Mad engineers are everywhere. The trick is finding a sane one!!

well see if he where sane he wouldnt be a mad enginere would he? (I thought to be mad you had to be insane)

Jake

No, no, no!! I'm surrounded by idiots!!

The trick is to find a sane engineer (which is hard, coz there's not many!), not a mad engineer (very easy)...

NOW do you understand?!?
