rich12545 Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 First, all these questions relate to sp since I never play multi. So far as I can tell there is no way to make a scenario with a map other than those 15 that are already in sp scenarios. So any others that are included in the game or posted online would be useless to me. Also there is no way to change opfor units/locations or the setup boxes for any new scenarios. Is this correct? If so, why not? Obviously, there is a way to make new sp scenarios since they are included in the game. There must be some sort of editor that was used to create them. So why not include it in the game or offer it as an additional product? Since this is so important I assume it's been discussed ad nauseum already but I would appreciate it if you would answer again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct for creating scenarios that include a useful computer run opponent (AI). The additional maps are only useful for human vs human game play. >Also there is no way to change opfor units/locations or the >setup boxes for any new scenarios. Is this correct? The U.S. and OPFOR player can choose different setup areas by first selecting the "Options/CPX Mode" menu item or by first selecting the "Options/Ignore Setup Limits" menu item. >There must be some sort of editor that was used to create >them.

The tools that I used to create the factory provided scenarios were too unstable and too user unfriendly to add to the package without months of work. This has been a wish list item for a long time but so far I have always had too many quicker to do things on the wish list to get around to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I choose the "Ignore setup limits" in a sp game, will the opfor typically set its units in areas different from their black box area? Or is this just more for me? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorH TacOps Developer Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 The computer opponent (AI) uses its normal setup areas. Only human players can ignore setup areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich12545 Posted September 20, 2001 Author Share Posted September 20, 2001 Does the computer set up its units in the exact same place each time a scenario is played or does it place units (in the black rectangle) differently each time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorH TacOps Developer Posted September 20, 2001 Share Posted September 20, 2001 It depends on the scenario and whether OPFOR is attacking or defending. Most scenarios where OPFOR is attacking will have from six to ten (or more) different opening moves. Scenarios where OPFOR is defending have fewer different opening moves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich12545 Posted September 20, 2001 Author Share Posted September 20, 2001 Thank you. That's nice. It significantly adds to the replayability of each scenario and therefore to the game itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
