Mergin on in...

[Dubieman]

Hello,

Just wonderin if its possible to have an intro that's on Everon and merge it with the mission that's on Nogova.

And the intro is in the intro part of the mission editor and the mission in the reg mission part. Just wonderin if its possible to use merge to get that intro to play on everon and mission on nogova?

thanks

No.

Dammit! I was gonna say that! It's so fun to just reply "No" to a question. ;D

As you now know this is not technically possible. However this is no barrier to the cunning mission-maker  . Everon and Nogovo look pretty similar so you should be able to have the intro on a nondescript part of countryside on Nogovo and claim it is Everon. If you want a specific Everon town then you may be out of luck but you could use an editor upgrade to place your own buildings etc

I nearly spoilt it with some crap about how you can do it in a campaign.

I'm proud of you macca! ;D

One of the official campaign missions, the one where you play as Armstrong and take the hill after arriving on Everon, the intro scene shows M113s leaving the coast of Malden, as well as choppers and the like, and then everything suddenly racks up on a beach of Everon.

Was this just using Everon the whole time and making that beach seemingly on Malden?

That's interesting. I'd suggest you unpbo the campaign and check out exactly how it's done.

[macguba]

In a campaign this is easy.      Remember that the four parts of a mission are Intro, Briefing, Mission Debriefing and Outro.    Any of these can be missed out.    What you are describing is a mission set on Malden consisting of only a Briefing, then a mission set on Everon consisting only of a cutscene, and then a mission set on Malden without a Briefing or Intro.

It looks like one mission, but in fact it is three.

Wow, big amount of replies... ;D

I did a mini demo of it and it merged my 2 person "intro" onto Nogova in the middle of the island. Weird... So it can't work.

That sucks. I was creatin the intro &outro to my team's first demo mission for you all. The story has it on Everon at the airfield, however the airfields are noticeably different and I'd like to show the whole thing....

Hmm, I had another idea for something else, but that top island with the airfield aint bad. Hmm, you never heard anything about that okay? ;D

And I suspect Shadow99 that it was a cutscene "mission" then an actual mission. Like the Plane Start and the Maverick missions. Fly off of Malden and attack Kolgujev...

Team? What kinda team?

About the M113s. I think they used the small island just south of Everon for that. I think.

The one I'm official bug killer/utility person for. AGP.... was a news post here a few days ago.... ;D

Don't really care about islands or locations as long as I can trick the public into believing the story. ;D
