sttp Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The quality of maps and missions keeps going up, which is not a bad thing at all, but my hunch is that constructing convincing AI plans has gotten more time consuming as the series has progressed. Not sure, but that may be part of the answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 It's an immense time commitment to create a scenario (inc map) from scratch compared to the the CMx1 days. Not saying the payoff isn't worth it but you've got to give them time. Don't be scared to jump into the editor yourself and create a small scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niall78 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I can only begin to understand the work creating a scenario - let alone a campaign - must entail. I must have every fan created scenario and campaign released for CMSF through to CMFB. I can only pay a very poor thank you to these creators from this forum every once in a while. Poor pay back for the thousands of hours of fun and challenge I've got in return. Battlefront have created products that I've loved since CMBO. The fans who mod and build scenarios and campaigns for these games prolong and improve each offering immensely. I'm very happy to pay for additional scenario and campaign content from Battlefront. I'd be willing to pay for fan created content as well. Not a big ask considering the work that goes into such creations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 +1 If you want to know why hardly any volunteers have the energy or patience to design scenarios, let alone a whole campaign, take a look at Combatintman's xnt tutorial on how to create a scenario: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weapon2010 Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Please let me say that in no way am I trying to imply that constructing scenarios/campaigns is easy in any way.I actually have dabbled in this , but never have ever been able to finish a product that I felt worthy to release, I barely have enough time to play my pbems.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveNoMore Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Having created a few scenarios I will add my 2 cents here. I enjoy creating, testing and ultimately sharing and playing my scenarios, almost all of which are H2H. But other then a couple of friends I use for play testing and bouncing ideas off, I have gotten about ZERO response from anyone else. I have uploaded scenarios in CMBN, CBFI and now CBFB and can count on half of one hand the number of comments I have received. And if people are worried about offending an authors work, they shouldn't be. Good, bad or indifferent, all comments are appreciated. This could be a reason why see very few people uploading their scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll download a scenario or campaign as soon as I see it mentioned in these forums. It could take me months or even years to actually play the scenario - by the time I do play it I mightn't even realise it is fan created. I get to play six hours a week so might do a scenario a week. I'm playing CMRT at the moment - if I grab a CMFB scenario it might be next Christmas before it gets a run through. For some reason though these forums and the additional content sites seem very quiet for what is a very successful and long lived game franchise.

kohlenklau Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 @weapon2010 I think you really answered your own question. Everyone has limited time to play the game and to delve off into the editor or do a mod takes even more time. Of the hundred attempts to make a scenario/mod, how many make it to daylight? Less than 5 probably. Please go back to one of your scenario projects and spend some time to try to polish it up a tad and upload it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
