Thread: How do I disable mortar teams & anti-tanks?29 Jan 2015, 11:46 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jan 2015, 08:47 AMMirage357 I'm pretty sure to achieve that you need to follow the steps required to make an Infantry only map but make the necessary changes to the SCAR and then add the names of the ATG's and mortars instead of the vehicles. Yeah the thought had crossed my mind... Only thing is, I don't know the names of said items for SCAR coding. Any way to retrieve this information? I have been looking online for a bit but to no avail.. EDIT: Just had a bright moment after drinking the rest of the coffee. I went to look in races/crews (items) in editor and found the names. Epic. EDIT #2: Ok, so I found the names, and I have been studying the infantry only SCAR document. Since all the disabled units are infantry weapon crews, do I put them in instead of the called in reinforcements? Since only the 120mm mortar crew is called in, the rest is produced in buildings. For example, it is unclear to me where the Ostwind Flakpanzer is disabled in the document. I'm assuming all vehicles are turned "off", and the creator added the called in special vehicles to the list. If this is the case, I can't just swap out the vehicles for the crews. I would have to be specific. Now I'm not a genius at this sort of thing, so some help would be really appreciated. In: Mapping Discussion

Thread: Suggestions for World Builder Tutorials? 9 Jan 2015, 10:56 AM Thanks a lot, that post did clarify some of the "rules" to making a document that I wasn't aware of. It all makes a lot more sense now. I have, however another suggestion for a tutorial. I have tried to find information about using markers, to be more specific, light markers. There is this map I subscribed to and imported in my worldbuilder to have a look at how other people do things. "King of the Castle" it's called. And it has some very cool multicolor light markers. he used this very cleverly to make a christmastree with blinking multicolor lights. I would very much like to know how the heck this is done. It seems to me one could add quite a bit of atmosphere using this cleverly. But I'm also very interested in what else can be done with these. Forgive me if I ask a lot of questions, but I'm really digging this world builder and I'm very keen to show you all what I can make. In: Mapping Discussion

Thread: Night map blizzards2 Jan 2015, 12:20 PM Thanks buddy, will do! In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Night map blizzards1 Jan 2015, 14:28 PM Hello folks, I have a bit of a graphical atmosphere issue. What happened is I changed my atmosphere to night snowy from the preset menu, and substituted the don_river_01 part (in SCAR file) with my winter_night_snowy setting, like so: MP_BlizzardInit("data:art/scenarios/presets/atmosphere/don_river_01_blizzard.aps" ,"data:art/scenarios/presets/atmosphere/winter_night_snowy.aps", nil, nil, true, nil) Now, when the blizzard approaches, the graphics on the roads become messed up during the transition, and also, it suddenly becomes day for the duration of the event. Then, after the blizzard passes, it flips back to night suddenly. I have tried looking for some night blizzard but to no avail. Does anybody know how to tackle this issue, or wheter it is even possible to run a blizzard at night? Thanks a lot guys In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Scar coding problems1 Jan 2015, 14:21 PM Worked like a charm, I also seem to have figured some stuff out here and there about the SCAR file. I didn't know you could just add any piece of script on top of the other. But it works now! Thanks! In: Mapping Discussion

Thread: Suggestions for World Builder Tutorials? 24 Dec 2014, 10:52 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2014, 07:30 AMMirage357 If I may, which part exactly is troubling you. Is it the actual creation of the file or what's in it and how to edit it? I know where to locate it, and how to copy and paste stuff in it. However, I have no idea what is going on in here and what my options are. Are there any rules to making a file or the layout? How do you set up your wordpad for it etc. Is there any specific order to write code or doesn't that matter? In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Suggestions for World Builder Tutorials? 23 Dec 2014, 18:51 PM If somebody could explain exactly how one should build a SCAR document, that would be excellent. I find bits evrywhere, but there is absolutely noone who explains whats going on. It's always just a "oh just paste this stuff somewhere" thing. I know if you are a programmer, that such answers are perfectly acceptable. However, for us "normal" folk, shit looks like Japanese. In: Mapping Discussion
