Quick Change!!

[B-2-0]

Ok, i have a village full of resistance on my MP co-op map....they have wayponits and trigs and stuff, y'know the usual....well i have changed my scenario and i now wish it to be a village full of US troops....is there a way to make them all look like US so i don't have to delete them all and re-do all the waypoints and init fields again??....I can put a line in the init field or something maybe

Hope so....thx! :thumbsup:

I'm not sure how to break this to you, but rthere is no simple way .....  we could come up with various workarounds, but  your best bet is to bite the bullet and go for it.  

It won't take as long as you think if you add the new US  group leader to the group ... then delete all the old group loons.   That way you won't have to do the waypoints again.

Ah, we meet again! :hmm:  

well, Bob... try this lil' ole trick of mine (not mine mine, but mine yanno, I use it... gah!   )

*cough*

uuum,   in a mission-pbo file ya can find this piece of text called:

       mission.sqm  

It's the mission info - all the unit classes etc that U made in the editor.

 :thumbsup: Use NOTEPAD to read/edit this file.


  Simply read it (before you export/pbo the mission) and scroll through the units.
Not that it's any easier or alike, but it DOES help you if ya don't wanna remake the whole scene!
Like, I scroll down the file 'till I meet this gent here :

{
   side="EAST";
   class Vehicles
   {
      items=4;
         class Item0
         {
            position[]=
3714.147217,379.744415,7065.349609};
            azimut=180.000000;
            id=143;
            side="EAST";
            vehicle="BMP2";
            leader=1;
            rank="LIEUTNANT";
            skill=0.333333;
            text="";
            markers[]={};
            init="";
         };
            


  See the red & blue text?!
"Simply" change it from EAST to WEST and from BMP to M1A1 or whatever.

(not a funny job but it can save  ya from starting all over from scratch, yanno )

If you want to change all the Res to West you could probably use "find and replace."

Thanx loads guys :thumbsup:

I think i'll go with Mac's change the leader solution, i wasn't aware that you could set a West soldier as Res group leader or vice-versa and i only have to change 30-40 soldiers/7or8 groups maybe....it was the waypoints and trigs i was worried about having to re-do

Once again, thanx....oh and Tomb....i think u should [get in, bed] as it looks like you are coming down with a VERY serious case of smiley fever me ol' china!!  13 in one post :wow:
