About This File

2018

Russia has elected a radical new populist leader, whose first major order of business was to end an internationally unpopular war. Not everyone is happy...

A small Ukrainian worker town has been taken over by rogue Russian troops and Ukrainian separatist guerrillas. Hostages have been taken, and the clock is ticking.

Liberate the town of Donesk.

Hi @George Savov -- as a side note, we should have a tutorial (maybe more than one) on this topic in a few weeks. 

The short version of the below is that while you will easily be able to bring the mission into Steel Beasts,  it requires a legacy map, and this makes it more complicated (and is why we will be doing a video on this topic shortly).  Presumably the author of the file can point you to the legacy map, at which point, I would recommend this thread:

 

For right now, to get the mission in place before you do the maps steps -- go to this folder in Windows:

Extract the file to downloads, and if it makes it easier to find, possibly a new folder inside that one if you are doing a lot of other downloading for Steel Beasts or playing multiplayer games, because that folder is used for multiplayer downloaded missions as well.

Thank you for the explanation ! 👍

My pleasure.  I'm still trying to find out what map this goes with.  I'm hoping @SippyCup can address this, as I'm not sure how anyone else can play this without knowing that.

@SippyCup Thanks for making this.  Can you point to which legacy map this mission uses?

Oh sorry, I'm not very active here. I'll go check, I haven't even converted it myself because I forgot virtually everything I learned with the editor.

Will report back. I'm curious as to how it will play now, since there were a couple of triggers (such as the Blackhawk "landing" on the roof of the building) that were very hack-ish and will probably be broken now.

 

*EDIT*

 

Map is Hannover-Weserbergland

OK, this is starting to come back to me a bit but I have forgotten most of the terminology and workings of the map packages. I had made my own .ter based on Hannover-Weserbergland height map but only have an old draft saved with about half of the elements missing. In other words, I have to make this scenario again as far as I know, which I am currently doing.

 

So there will be a SB3 and SB4 version of this map which differ slightly in layout but operate the same manner. I've played through it 3 times and everything is working, just polishing it up now.
