n00b question

[Postman]

Hi
Probably an easy question but here goes.

Is there any way to get ahold of or extract the original maps from Joint Ops?

[Mstenger404]

not that i know of, i took out the pff extractor and there was nothing that nile could read, and i didn't find any bms for the bmstomis for the DFX MED.

So uhhh i guess not.

Damn, it would've been nice to be able to edit some originals and look at design and learn from them.
I think that Island Assault is one of the best settings I have played and it would be great to play that level in coop mode.

Hmmm
Began testing Nile only yesterday so I can't really claim to know my way around the program but it's kind of odd that despite what I do all enemies I place around the map are oblivious to me when I playtest it. They are deaf, dum and indestructable.
What am I doing wrong?
I've edited their properties so many times it's boring.

[Mstenger404]

nile, it works for me, delet everything and redownload.

[Postman]

Huh?
Why should that help?
It should be a setting, atleast I think so. Is there anything that one should or should NOT do when editing the enemies personal stats?

And one more qustion, how do I get the enemy to interact with turrets?
Tried to place one in very near proximity but no such luck.

[Mstenger404]

i did it, not only does nile suck but the packaging sucks too.

[Postman]

Ok
So what's better than Nile then?

[Mstenger404]

the DFX MED, doesn't have 3d though. should be floating around here somewhere, if not, check dfbarracks

[Postman]

Started DFXMed once but didn't like what I saw, how can you make a level in 3D when you can't see it?

[Mstenger404]

switch to 3d mode, but then u cant edit, so switch back and forth, if u do map editing with bhd then u know what i mean

Nile works better then ever
just update your nile to version 0.86
then download nile's little helper 5.3.x
run nile little helper to update nile into version 1.0 (from oldman)

if you have any questions about nile or litlle helper
try this forum and ask your questions

on the events tab click "new event"

then click "new condition" below

if you want them to man the guns straight away then make sure the
- category is "flow control"
- set the "condition" to either "ontick" or "past"
- seconds is whatever i usually put 1
click ok

then click "new action" below

to get them to man the guns you need to
- change the category to "units"
- set the "action" to "unit move to unit"
- then in the top "SSN" you put the solider (man1) and the bottom "SSN" you put the gun (gun1)
click ok

slect "new action" again and
- change category to "units" again
- set "action" to "unit use"
- in "SSN" select the solider (man1) again
click ok

repeat this for all the units you want to man guns

now the soliders should man the guns by: mr ree not me

[Mstenger404]

Chris is that you?

[BLOODYBSO]

WELL HOW DO YOU INCLUDE QUOTES LIKE THAT IN THE TEXT? NILE HAS BEEN UPDATED AGAIN AND LOTS OF FORUMS TO LEARN ON HOW TO DO COOPS AND MAP EDIT. LOTS OF EXAMPLES TO USE
I USE THE FOLLOWING FORUM ALOT
http://s2.forumforfree.com/home.php?mforum=godfather
VERY HELPFUL

[HHHlonewolf]
