Mission Map for Skrimage?

[Bad_i_BILL]

I would like to see if a mission map can be used in a skirmage.

In Vs. mode:
I play as Laser Gen. He goes up against AF Gen.
I'd like to play on that map in a skrim.

Can that be done???

scrimmage?

[Bad_i_BILL]

Skirmish... Sorry

I'm alittle confused on what you want to do here. Do you want to convert one of the campaign maps into a skirmish/multiplayer map? Or do you want to convert it to a Generals Challange map?

[Bad_i_BILL]

I did not realize it would need to be edited or altered.

What I wanted to do was load it in the maps & play it. I was going to be the AF general & use the base he used & put the AI player in the other base & set him to the laser Gen.

NM, I forgot the VS. & mission maps need to be changed for skirmish playing.

[Me Myself & Pi]

I think I see what you want to do here.

You want to play a Generals Challenge map accept you want the positions changed. You want to have the base the AI normally gets & want the AI to have the the start position the human player gets, right? This is possible, but you'd need to do A LOT of modifying to the map! You'd have to move the positions for the buildings to be built, the trigger areas, the waypoint path, etc... Also, since it's no that hard to beat the AI on some of these challenge maps, it would be super easy if you change the bases! But I guess you could import the skirmish scripts from one of the skirmish players for the map, that might work.

Switching a mission to a skirmish/multi-player map wouldn't take nearly as much time. First you'd need to open up the campaign in the world builder & delete all the scripts & the other players. You should also delete the waypoints & trigger areas, seeing how you wont need them & they'd just get in the way of the modifying the map. Then you'd need to add the skirmish players, start positions, waypoints & trigger areas for the AI. Don't forget to balance the map for skirmish & multi-player play.

You're probably pretty discouraged about this idea by now. But I'd be happy to do the modification for you (converting to skirmish/multi-player, changing a generals challenge map would take way to much time), just tell me the map you want modified & how many players & where their start positions should be.

[Bad_i_BILL]

I have never modifyed a map before.
I do not plan to start.

If you want to modify it, I WILL PLAY IT. That is an awesome offer...

If you feel like it, please modify the map.

Thank You

I'm also willing to do the conversion for you Bill, but nowadays I never have any time to devote to ZH map editing. Sorry :(

[Bad_i_BILL]

NP, I mean it is quite a bit of work for one person to play a map.

If it does not get converted, I will understand...

[Me Myself & Pi]

Great! I'll get started on it right away! But It would be nice if you could tell me which map you want, how many players, & where to put the start positions.

[scud_nuke]

hmm sound good, tell us when its done soundz like a interresting project...:chin:

[Bad_i_BILL]

I already posted:
The map that is used when the Air Force general faces the Laser General.

Keep the laser general & have him start where the human normailly would & make the other base where I can play as the AF Gen.

Thank You

[chaoscontrol512]

You mean the Laser General's map in General's Challenge?

[Me Myself & Pi]

Oh, okay, I thought you also wanted to convert a campaign map to skirmish/multi-player. I originally said:

But I'd be happy to do the modification for you (converting to skirmish/multi-player, changing a generals challenge map would take way to much time),

But come to think of it, I guess it really wouldn't be hard to make your request, I could just import the skirmish scripts for the laser general (as I said before.) The whole system with only part of the laser turrets turning off & on, that's all scripted & wouldn't be possible for a human player to accomplish. They'll all need to be powered.

Are you sure want me to do this? You'll have an almost inpenitrable base, making the game super easy! But I'll start on it tomorrow never the less. Let me know if you want this map to be listed in the COSTUM MAPS list or to change the map in the in the campaign so that if you play air force general, you'll play the map as the first mission in Air Force Challenges.

Two more questions, would you like the particle cannons in the middle to be activated at game start, have them activated as they do in the original map, or not have them at all? Let me know. Also, would you like to have the Laser Generals base as Air Force, or you be the Laser General? Or maybe you just want to start as Air Force with none of the buildings. I guess I need to know these things before starting on the map. But hurry up & reply! I'm exited to get on this project!

Are you sure want me to do this? You'll have an almost inpenitrable base, making the game super easy!
I remade the Laser Generals map for a single player mission a while ago, and what I did to make the base easier to crack was I removed all of the Laser turrets, and replaced them with a single fire base for each entrance.

[Bad_i_BILL]

My brain hurts :hyper:

Had no idea what I asked was so complex.

[Me Myself & Pi]

Does this mean you don't want me to do it? All I need to know is:

1) Weather or not you want the Laser General's base being Air Force. (I can remove the entire base from the map if you want.)
2) How you want that base set up if you do. (Just the way the Laser General has it, or something of your specifactions.)
3) Which place do you want the map being. (In the COSTUM MAPS list or to be in the first Generals Challange map for the Air Force General.)

[Bad_i_BILL]

All I wanted was to play on the base of the AF Gen & have the AI play as the Laser Gen.

In Vs. Mode, I slaughter the AF Gen, I want to see what it is like to play in his base with his military.....

[Gaucho8788]

So you want someone to take:
1. The Air Force General challenge map
2. Make the AI the Laser General instead of the AirForce General
3. Switch the AI and Human Player starting points
4. And your going to start off as the AirForce General because you want to beat Laser with Airforce instead of beat Airforce with Laser.

Tell me if I'm close.:p

[Bad_i_BILL]

Nevermind, it is not worth all that work.....

[Me Myself & Pi]

Well okay then.

But I'd be very happy to make the modifaction (or others like it) in the nere future if you change you mind. ;)
