SgtPappy Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Is it possible to create missions in which TEAMS are designated based on the user's choice or do NATO and Warsaw Pact aircraft HAVE to be enemies all the time? Thanks
Grimes Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 You can make whatever combination of countries you want for each coalition. It just defaults to Russia vs Nato most of the time because that setup offers the widest array of possible aircraft, vehicles, and ships available to both sides. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

joey45 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Click on create new mission and it will give you a list. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

SgtPappy Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 Thanks, gents. I'll try this out tonight after work!
SgtPappy Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Okay, I tried it and the game EXPLODED. It gave me UNSOLVABLE errors. Essentially, I put Russia, USA, UK and Israel on BLUE and Insurgents on RED. I clicked "Save" and then "OK". I clicked the airplane unit icon and tried to put down a Russian Su-27 and BAM. An error notification pops up. There were about six of these windows, each one popping up after I click "OK" for a given notification. When I clicked "OK" for each error notification, I was unable to choose any of the countries I had built into a coalition. The only countries I could choose were the ones that were not put into any coalition, and by default, all these countries were allies. I've attached the image of at least one of the windows I saw. I'm not sure if all of the windows (about 4 - 6 in succession) say the same thing. If anyone has a mission with Russia and the USA on the same team against, say, insurgents, I'd like to have a file so I could use that as a template. Thanks! Edited June 25, 2012 by SgtPappy
joey45 Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 mmmm have you tried doing different coalition combinations??

SgtPappy Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 I have, but only on the BLUE side. The RED side has always been insurgents so far, but I will try random combos. Strangely enough, the error windows have ceased to appear, but still only the "neutral" countries are selectable.
Grimes Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Which version of the game do you have? The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

eurofor Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Haha, hardcore fans of realism, I don't think anyone has tried this before. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
HiJack Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Never realy tought of who is playing who. For me it could as well be Klingons vs Romulans :)
Weta43 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Haha, hardcore fans of realism, I don't think anyone has tried this before. I have - many times - & never had any problems. What countries are you adding to blue & to red ? Cheers.
SgtPappy Posted June 28, 2012 Author Posted June 28, 2012 BLUE: Russia, Israel, Canada and USA RED: Insurgents. The rest are left in the neutral box. Also, I wanted to train some buddies in gunnery and I set the mission options such that we had infinite ammo, but upon testing, the ammo is still limited.
Grimes Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I don't have FC2 installed currently, but I tried to recreate it with BS1 1.0.2, the mission editor is identical between the 2 last I checked. I was unable to recreate the issue. Are you running Blindspots mission editor mod? Or is it the default editor? I know its an annoying process, but have you tried a reinstall?

SgtPappy Posted June 30, 2012 Author Posted June 30, 2012 I'm running the default mission editor. No I haven't tried a re-install just yet. I've done that many times to sort out other issues though. I suppose I'd have to try again :S
HiJack Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Remember to disable your antivirus application befor installing!
SgtPappy Posted July 1, 2012 Author Posted July 1, 2012 Ohhhh, I didn't know I had to do that. Okay, I'll give it a go tonight.
SgtPappy Posted July 6, 2012 Author Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) So I reinstalled and is sorta worked... Now I can create units from both the red coalition and the "neutral" coalition although no blue countries appear. I just have to test whether the red and neutral planes attack each other. EDIT: Turns out infinite ammo doesn't work in any of my multiplayer missions either. Does anyone also have this problem, or is it a built-in feature for multiplayer missions?
