Just got a question

[Combii]

Hey i have been looking for lots of map editing programs for Joint Operations Typhoon Rising, but i only found 2 -.-

And that was NILE and some other program called MD i think... But i just wan't to ask if there is or one of these programs can edit maps that Joint Operations Typhoon Rising have made beacuse me and my friend thought it could be cool like if we had a boat and there isen't that boat we wan't then we can just make one ^^ I hope someone can help me

There's NILE, and MED. MED is the traditional MED that was with pretty much all DF games. NILE is basically a 3d MED - I personally, hate NILE.

You want to edit the stock maps, you mean?

It is most likely that the stock maps in JO are .bms - the MED file. Or it could be NILE - not too sure.

Anyways, download this:

It's a BMS2MIS converter for JO/DFX. This will convert the stock maps to an edittable format, which you can edit via the MED.

Now, download this:
http://www.novahq.net/?show=utilitie...get_file&id=60

Now, use the PFF Extractor to browse through the .pff files, for .bms files. The .bms files have weird names so I've no idea which one is which.

Once you've extracted one, whip out the BMS2MIS and convert the map. Once converted, open the MED and open the converted file, then make your changes, then SAVE AND EXPORT. Save the .mis file with the exact same name as before.

If you want, then put the new .bms into the .pff file you got it from.

BUT, if you're going to put it in your .pff file, by all means do not go into a NovaWorld server - you may get punted. You might even get punted just by logging in. It's a map file so it's extremely unlikely, but still be careful.

Just put the map into your game directory instead and it should do the job.

Thank you very much for all your help All worked great or almost all ... I did the pff and converted bms to mis. It is easy for me to use Nile, but I have difficulties in using MED; i tried Nile where I took a vehicle in the map, I saved this, however Nile could only save it into npz and npj :/ So I saved it as a npj file and restarted the game. It was there. It was a Coop map that edit for me and my friend ^^ Then I started, the game took the same name as the map CP02. The map was loaded allright, but then a text came up saying: "Unable to load mission. This mission requires assets or an expansion that is not actived" Why is that? I only took a vehicle in?? :S so i don't know what is the problem :/ When I use MED everything works but I don't know anything about how to use MED -.- I don't know how to make a vehicle and the only thing I see is red spots on a black background. Hope you can help :s
