Oi, mate...
After you finish with typing a reply or typing to make a post, scroll down to a second option below your post and look for:
"
Thread SubscriptionNotification Type:
Do not subscribe No email notification Instant email notification Daily email notification Weekly email notification". Do this and click on the "submit reply" below the "additional options". It will automatically subscribe you to this area, and send you an email every time there is a new reply by anyone else, with a link in your email to go directly here. That goes for anywhere you reply or post. If you're already subscribed to a place on NovaHq you're automatically notified. Just disregard and click on the "view link".
If you click on the "submit reply" below the typing resonse box here, it just posts your reply. It doesn't subscribe you to the link where you posted. Cool?
I have a map that will resolve your Parachute Problems.
Yes, you will have to make an "event/etc." for each 'A.I.', as well as a spawn waypoint, target, and individual heights which makes the 'chuters" look more cool when coming down.
I can send you a map and you can view it, also look at the events, as well as keep it for a reference seperately on a "Diskette".
I suggest, as you make maps, to save them to a "Diskette", not to the DFLW folder. Only put the maps you want to test or play into the folder. Put both of your BMS/MIS files, and any "text" file describing each map together.
Keep your DFLW folder as clear as possible.
As you've found out, the "help" in "med-editor" is more general than specific for map making. If you don't have the "stock maps for DFLW" let me know and I'll send them to you along with the parachute file. It's always good to have them for reference. Novalogic includes "everything" for situations you would want in the "stock maps" you build.
Since DFLW is a DOS based program, you'll get unannounced errors and it will shut down DFLW.exe or the Med-Editor.exe. The Med-editor is a "low budget" cad program. And the DFLW game is written from the original "DOOM" game.
That's why it crashes now and again unexpectedly. Just remember to save, save, and save. :-)
Also, that's why Novalogic won't give tech support for Med-Editor.
So, we have to work around that issue. right? :-)
When you work on maps make sure no other progams are running in the background on your PC, ex:[anti-virus, graphics programs, scheduled maintenance programs.
Anyway, if you want the items I mentioned, post/or email me, I'll send them to you. KK? Cool!!! Hope this will help you.
Keep truckin'...
