Hey all. In an attempt to get back into ghost recon modding, i threw together this quick desert map. It only took me less than 2 weeks, but im fairly happy with it. This is a small map in a canyon. It is not super AI friendly, but it isnt too bad. It is a small map mainly intended for some intense multiplayer battles, but i threw together a quick scenario. You can find it in the quick mission menu. Theres no objectives, because I dont know how to script, but theres a few enemies to kill (lotsa fun

). If someone would like to script a mission or two, that would be super cool. I have tested for bugs, and it is pretty much free of bugs as far as I know. This is a beta release, so if you guys have any bugs to report, post back here, and ill fix them and release a 1.0 version along with a mission if someone wants to give that a try. Also, the only problem I can see is the command map dopsent work properly. Since i have never finished a map before, I have never done this before. I will eventually fix this for the second release, but i just wanted to release a beta version for now anyways. Heres some screenshots.

Command Map doesn't work properly?
Do you get a "beep-beep-beep" alert when you try to click on it? Did you have a roomlist.txt in your map folder when you exported?
DLing now, I'll check it when I get home.
Screenies look good. :thumbsup:

Heh, some of those building textures are wicked! They totally obscure the enemy camo, check this out for example. The guy is about 4 metres infront of me and you can hardly see him!

If there is an issue with the command map not working where you just get "out of bounds" beeps then you are missing your shermanlevel (if I remember correctly) you may have also just accidentally grouped it with a room, which it should not be grouped with anything.

You can make a map more "AI-friendly" by adding more collidable objects. The .sht file that is generated generates all of the path-points between walls, rocks, etc.

Thanks very much for the positive feedback guys, much appreciated.

If there is an issue with the command map not working where you just get "out of bounds" beeps then you are missing your shermanlevel (if I remember correctly) you may have also just accidentally grouped it with a room, which it should not be grouped with anything.

I have the sherman level and it isnt grouped. Ill check and see if i forgot to tag it correctly in the map editor?

Ill look into that.

Do any of you map modders know whats wrong with the command map? I dont know what it is. Its just not aligned properly.

I've looked at the modfiles and there are several small issues going on:
- You've got to set the coordinates of the map's scenecentre in order to make the AI display correctly on the map and also make it possible to give them waypoints. Check your 3dsmfile of the map and locate the scenecentre. Set the correct X and Y coordinates in the environmentfile, that shoudl fix it.
- Some plateaus are not tagged as a floor or have a collisionwall, so you're just walking right through them.
- The floor in the first hut you encounter when coming out of the canyon has an elevated floor that does not have a floortag. I also got stuck trying to get outside again (probably a floortag issue or a collisionwall)
- The canyons have several gaps in the floor where it connects the canyonwall (look left for instance once you come out of the canyon after inserting)
- Just cosmetic: some of the rocks could have a better UVW-map.

It's a nice first map

The reason there have been no updates is not because i have given up on this map, but because I have been working hard on making a few changes as this map will be featured in centcom. There will be no further versions of this map, but look for it in centcom.
