hey all im new to ofp and have tryed the mission editor but it seems that, if i place my spawn point next to enything (choppter, tent etc) my guy is way off the point when placed same with other items, its like i place something directly near the house wall it will end up south 50m or something wtf is goin on is it a glitch in the game or editor or just a option that aint turned on right lol thx

Hi Aussie

Wecome to the wierd, wonderful and most of all stressful world of OFP editing ;D

If u are talking about just placing 2 objects together on the map and they end up apart (which i assume u are because u said u are new) then have you tried zooming the map in?  Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out!!

Other than that i can't think what the problem is....explain in more detail if that is the case

I'd recomend heading over to the editors depot, they have got some great tutorials u should read....i found Johan Gustavson's editing tute and Abuu's guide to editing the most helpful when first starting out....check 'em out!!

Happy editing!! ;D

yeh thx dude i have tryed zooming in but i was a map maker from delta force in which the maps r ALOTdifferent there lol, would it be wise to zoom all the way?? coz thats most prob the problem, like wat i would do is say i get a feild tent place it in grid say 56 and my spawn right beside it and it would end up under a tree lol ill keep tinkering wif this new and wonderful world of ofp lol o and btw i have to US version of ofp so wat update should i get ?? iv read some things sayin us verson is 1.20 or something but im pritty sure its the us version is there eny way to check well im off to play wif this mission editor thx

unfortunately, this is the ofp editor....
if you turn an object, it will almost never just pivot on the original spot.
it's just guess and check.
