[DFBHD] Using Text Tool in missions

[Guest001]

No layers?

Anyway, for starters I've seen where AI don't like waypoints to meet in one place, in DFX2 I couldn't get AI to cross a bridge because all the waypoints were too close together and intersected at one point

[Luis]

i'm using the 'hide selected' option
i don't know but i don't like layers '-'

[Guest001]

Thanks Baldo I knew too many crashed the game but not the exact amount, same in DFX2

[Guest001]

Have to deal with the Grandson for a while but still getting back to the map when I can escape him.
Don't give up, (stompem never gives up) keep the map until you know more and come back to it. Learn to Use layers they will come in handy when your maps get more complex. Layer1 top floor or 1st, 2nd floor etc
Layer2 Stairwell1 etc
Layer3 2nd floor furniture etc
Also helps when you return to a map and have forgotten placements, professional map makers would be unable to map efficiently without them, trust me you will like them when you are used to them....
have to go out for an hour, I will check in here for an update to the situation and continue on if necessary.

[Guest001]

I've got them to go downstairs if that's what you wanted.

Sorry again,
but i got more problems than i expected lol.
My bin file for my map is not working.
The MED (unlocked 2.05c), when i try to open the map, says "Unable to load bin file" and blablabla.
But i checked the bin file (with BIN2TXT tool) and it is exact the same as my other maps.
Here's it:

I'm going to investigate the Text Tool and see what sort of BIN or whatever file it creates

[Baldo_the_Don]

I think you need to change this:

Good luck 5-1";

to this:

Good luck 5-1
";

Maybe...

[Guest001]

Interesting, The BIN in BHD needs to be packed, not so for later games.

Save and Pack
After creating new text messages for the game screen, save the file to a name that matches the
name of your mission. The main Text Tool filename has an .RC extension.
When you’ve ready to test your text messages, click Save Binin the Filemenu.
Just like other pieces of your mod, that binary file then needs to be packed into your .PFF file.
pack MyMod.pff +mission2.bin
For more information about preparing files for your mod, read the Pack tool Overview document.

[Guest001]

Luis don't forget to add Show Win Subgoal 1 etc... in the event editor so the player can display them

[Guest001]

Did all that no go. Made a drag and drop pff, no go shows up but don't seem to work, Text tool? something missing as far as I can tell. BinEditor works ok from scratch with later games.
Pity I've not picked up this thing longer ago, might of been more help.

But please keep me informed, I'll help if I can.

PS
Layers

[Luis]

Yes i created this bin file with TEXT TOOL.
But there's something strange.
In-game the i can see the briefing, the name of the map is without .bms, i added an name for an waypoint (Alpha) and in game it shows as 'Target Building', the same as the bin.
But in the med it doesn't read it, so i cant see the goals and lose cond.
Baldo, i'll try to change that.
Thank you.

My bin file for my map is not working.
The MED (unlocked 2.05c), when i try to open the map, says "Unable to load bin file" and blablabla.
But i checked the bin file (with BIN2TXT tool) and it is exact the same as my other maps.
Here's it:

So I copied and pasted the text Luis posted above from the .bin into Editor and saved it as text, without even editing it. Used TXT2BIN and binned it (hee!). Opened the mission in both the 5c and 6b MEDs no problem. Tried it in game no problem.

So I don't know, but I suspect your 5c installation is corrupted or something, Luis.

And I learned something new. If you do not add a briefing2, the G-key will display the briefing! I did not know that was true!

When I make mission .bins, this is a good template:

'[Info]'
Title = "INSERT TITLE HERE";
briefing = "INSERT BRIEFING HERE";
briefing2 = "<cfc8932bu>INSERT G-KEY BRIEFING HERE<-cbuo>

I've never needed anything more than that in a .bin.

Yes, i don't use the briefing2 line cause i don't know and even like these colors codes.
And thank you i'll save this 'template' and i'll try to deal with colors.
