Mission Builder Tutorial

OK,

I think I am 3 1/4s there.

I just cant seem to get the airfield bits sorted, like where you get the flags to click on then one you pick a side you then click on the airfield and so on.

Any help appreciated

Yes, I had the same problem mate. The COD game interface is different to the IL2-1946 inteface. In COD after launching the mission, you don't click on the home base to get a flag. Your map should appear on the left of the screen & there should be red & blue flags up the top of a blank list of players on the right hand side of the screen. Click on those flags & the available bases/planes for that side will then appear on the map. Then you click on the map base/plane you need.

I lament the lack of proper documention of the COD FMB & of other unknown FMB options by the developers & the confusion it has caused many players as evidenced by the many many questions on the 1C foprums about how to do this or that.

It sounds like your not running your mission as a MP mission. How exactly are you testing it? (through the FMB, dedicated server, through the MP server)

The only thing I can say is to run a dedicated server and then connect to it for testing. Amongst other reasons, some things act differently as a listen server compared to a dedi. (miss roads and spawn points to name a few)

Hay Bliss.

Cheers mate, I am testing it in the FMB, all the AI planes are there flying around doing their thing.

It's just now way for Human to spawn in??

As for hosting... Long Story.. I am having an Issue with the Beta Hoppy Lobby thing I uninstalled it and it has taken away mu ability to host?
The guys there are trying to fix it for me (hopefully)

But if I could at least get the human Spawn thing happening then I could send it to one of my squad mates.

Cheers

If you finally want to play the mission in the multiplayer enviroment, you should test you mission there. The option "Play mission" in the FMB is just for seeing if you AI is doing what it is supposed to do (seldom happens). Spawnareas you set in the FMB do not show up, if you test in the FMB. Go to multiplayer->Server->host-> select you mission and test then.

Best if you create your own dedicated server for testing. Triggers that work for you as a host, will not mandatory work in dedicated server game also.
