So I'm not too far away from completing my first map but I've had a few weird problems:

1. I've spawned a buried_bunker_wreck but while testing it's repairable and the AI will often repair it within the first few minutes of the match i wanted it to be permanently destroyed is there way to make it stay destroyed?

2. Most minimap icons are sideways yet awhile into the game (i haven't timed it yet) it fixes itself but every game the majority of icons will be sideways for awhile.

3. placing barbwire a certain way as shown in the image below and my engineers will ignore the command and the ghost of the barbwire will stay no matter what i do with the engineers.

It only seems to happen if i place it with both ends in a red non buildable state.
And no I'm not holding down shift even if i retreat the unit the ghost wire is still there.

4. While going through objects early on into the map i placed an MG42 and later noticed i cannot select it/move or delete it no matter what mode I'm in, In game it's just a regular MG42 that can be taken despite it being half in the ground in the editor it's perfectly upright ingame.

Despite searching i haven't found anyone with similar issues on their maps while they don't break the map it's mainly the MG42 i want gone since it gives one side an advantage early on the others issues i can live with but hopefully could be fixed in some way.

Also is there a reason why the territory lines are kinda wobbly? I've seen other custom maps have fairly normal smooth lines but mine don't seem to look as good for some reason.

Dammit i messed up the title of the thread it's meant to be: "CoH2 WB NIS Test"

I've been trying to wrap my head around the NIS tools lately and so far I've come up with this:



Wish there was more documentation on the NIS tools as trying to create any kind of large scale battle is just ridiculously time consuming and as the description says seems an update may have messed up my NIS project as not long ago bodys stayed on the ground and had blood effects.

And there doesn't seem to be any sort of render option so i just hid off as much of the UI as possible ended up being recorded in 1656x932 then scaled it down to 1280x720 so that means no 1080p.
oh and the WorldBuilder doesn't seem to have any anti aliasing option, forcing it via drivers does nothing but scaling the recorded video down to 720p seems to at least smooth it out enough.

Anyway just thought id post about my experience with it for anyone interested.

Is is possible to open replays and edit them via NIS?

I'm just wondering if there's an easier way to have units moving around in combat and such to edit with NIS or even just have them as background extras while i use actors for custom things?

There must be an easier way to have lots of units in combat just by using replays or possibly some other way i haven't figured out yet, as the method just to get a few units running/shooting/dying is quite tedious and time consuming with having to spawn actors, assign animations, assign a gun, placing down lines for them to move forward and having to time it right to avoid sliding effects and so on, i have yet to figured out how to get them to aim without having to manually rotate the unit around. :/

Any help is greatly appreciated :3
I've always wanted to give machinima in CoH2 a go i was thinking of going back and trying with CoH1 since there's more documentation but with the Western Armies coming out in a few months figured i might as well stay with CoH2.

[Update]
Singleplayer NIS files do open but only the camera works and the actors are all idle but i would assume that's due to the fact almost all the SP NIS files are meant to be rendered in game where as something like the multiplayer Stalingrad map has two working nis files for part of the "Victory at Stalingrad" trailer http://youtu.be/kOz0EnzXIQQ?t=44s from 0:45 onward, so for now I'm just using that to see how they've done it.

Still in certain parts of the trailers it looks like they have regular gameplay movement and such with some added NIS effects they might have used the same method i just found over here but that appears to be for CoH1 but ill soon test this out and post my results.

Tried searching around and haven't found anything on how to use singleplayer maps in the world builder like you can with multiplayer maps, has relic just locked that away or?
