Scenario Editor question

[Tbird3]

This is an awesome thread! Catgh and sarjen thanks! The CSV/spreadsheet technique makes life sooooo much easier and better! I am currently working a scenario that better fits my concept of how the WP would deploy and fight. If and when I get it done maybe we can hang it on here somehow. I hope that we are all able to access player scenarios. Thanks again.

Regards,

Yes please. Do it as an attachment as i will with mine when i finish it. Currently i am in the last playtesting stages for one and if you play NATO its really fun.

The things that are now to learn are the briefings [:(]

Briefings...

Pure HTML... Create away with some HTML editor. Marc S. from Matrix really gave a lot of guidance from the art side for the stock scenarios.

Basically what I did (reaching into memory banks here) was have two seperate subdirectories for each side... PACT and NATO. The main root of the subdirectory held the magic index.html file. All other files need to live within that subdirectory or a subdirectory of that directory.

The ones in the stock game are pretty simple HTML, but you can get as fancy as you want I think.

Yes, the Mission Briefing html engine is a full blown HTML rendering engine. It is not IE or FireFox but it is pretty capable. You can create an entire multi-megabyte web site with as much depth and detail as you like and make that the mission briefing for a scenario. This was deliberate but obviously requires a lot of work to make happen.

Catgh did all the non-tutorial mission breifings and did a terrific job!
