This thread has inspired me, I think I'll take a stab at making a scenario this weekend. I'll skip the map making and just grab one of the QB ones and tweak it.  As mentioned above, when one doesn't have to worry about historical accuracy you can just jump in there and make something fun.
 
As for giving feedback on user made content, I blame the repository itself. Finding a given scenario after it leaves the first page of the relevant sub-forum is an often frustrating task. Even if you know the name of the author or scenario it's not guaranteed to be found by the search function. I think some fresh formatting over there, making it easier to find what you want, highlighting popular trending content and creators would go along towards getting people involved. Just go look and notice how the "most popular" stuff is almost all from 4+ years ago. This should be based on trending popularity, not all time hits. I realize that it says "Most popular from last 90 days" but that's because those are the only downloads that are easy to find, being the first thing you see.
 
On that note, also notice that far and away the most popular item of all time is Devil's Descent, a very small scale campaign featuring a real storyline with characters and branching paths based on player choices. Not some unwieldy behemoth of a campaign based on rigid historical accuracy with 6 page long briefings, that only a few dozen people will ever actually finish. 

Cpl S - you are already trying to over think things.

Just come up with an idea, and build a scenario around it and then fit it into the backstory if you feel the need. August Morning, which by the way has a very simple map, was based on the first 5 minutes or so of a training film I remembered watching as a recruit many years ago.




The scenario has no real link to the backstory, other than two forces come into contact with each other, at an entirely fictitious location. It can really be that simple

Well I was quick enough to copy the message before Ken deleted it - it's not pretty reading I'm afraid.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pitiful if you ask me.

At the moment if you want them PM me and I'll send you a dropbox link. To PM me click on my name and on the right you will see the button: 'Send me a message'.
When the Repository is up to speed I'll add them there.
 
Smoke and Tracers are also in there.

BP I think it is to do with how wire placement is controlled in the editor. The only way to control the facing of wire is by placing a second element alongside it. It's likely that the single pieces have reverted to a default facing when the second wire element is removed.
 
Monthardrou is one of mine, but boy it seems like a long time ago !

I say 10 minutes after alaskanbiker leaves for work !

you hit it just right.  Wanted to learn about how to create Triggers.  Big help Pete, they should sticky all those videos as a Map editor tutorial section.

I'm with you John - the redux version loses some of the aura surrounding several key characters. Much prefer the cinema version.

I don't know if this covers the specific question asked, but I think it's the only video covering the use of triggers out there.
 

 
 
I am a little puzzled by the question though as the use of the timer generally means a trigger is not required. Can you be a little more specific as to what you are after ?

Working on another CMBS scenario for you guys.
 
 
Have a rest  - nah not really !
