Bloody ROCKS

[pigdog]

How do I edit out the dang rocks in the desert? I understand the use of them to block areas off, but they are creating havoc with ememy AI pathfinding. Just need to get rid of some areas.

Would be nice if you could edit from the 3D world also.

thx

It depends on if the rocks are an object or if they are put into the ground clutter. Since there seems to be some problems with rocks as clutter (they don't block anything anymore, and when they do it is irregular) then I suppose you are talking about rock objects. I further assume you are talking about the stock NTC map, because that is the map that has the most rock objects.

In any case, from my assumptions, you probably need to open the map in the Map Editor, then take the eraser tool and erase out the rocks you don't want (you will probably see them speckled across the map). Then save the terrain file, then open your scenario in the Mission Editor, then select Refresh Map from the map menu. Done.

Yes it is the NTC map. So I edit the NTC map and not the terrain theme?

I will try the erase tool.

Also the map dosent seem to save everything.

I located a car in an open garage in the NTC map. saved. It shows up when editing, but when I test the mission its located outside the garage.

my first map edit

thanks

I was unaware that vehicles could be positioned in the map editor??

[pigdog]

They cant. I meant when I position the car in the MISSION editor it dosent seem to be acurate.

I have been erasing the rocks. STill a PITA

It's supposed to do that. You can't have vehicles inside of buildings. You couldn't drive out of the buildings during the execution phase.

An idea: try spawning the car outside of the garage when you want it to come out.
