need a problem first

[mtman-LRS-]

first off i need to know how to get the map that iam working on in to jo so that i can check it out and my girl friend did leave and can stay gone lol

[Guest001]

1st thing is if you're making Multiplayer maps and you want to test them you'll have to open the game multiplayer lobby or LAN-

(multiplayer maps don't show in the single player mission section)

- and run from there or you can host a LAN to test them out by yourself or with a few friends.

2nd thing is are you mapping with the MEd or NILE?

i am using niles i am working on a coop try lan and when i go to make my selction the name of map not there just cant remember how to get it there now

[Guest001]

Check the game type is COOP and that a "start player" marker is in the map.

Once you have that working we can troubleshoot further.


Alternatively...

To view the map now:
If you can't see the map yet go to map settings and try to set the Coop map to Single Player for now so you can inspect it - with COOP maps it's ok to look at objects (scripts work different online though)

Look in the main menu for - (File - Preferences - Resource Folder)

Check these settings and make sure they're set to the main game folder before you proceed.

Always save your map files to the main game folder - the game will look for them there.

IE

C:\Program Files (x86)\Novalogic\Joint Operations Escalation

For Escalation or Combined Arms Gold
When you set the resource folder only point to the main game folder, don't point to the expansion \ jox01 folder.

The NILE will detect any mods or expansions automatically.
When detected you'll be able to select jox01 from a pop-up screen and the NILE will then load the expansion content correctly.
