Secret Missions 1/2 Mission Trees for WCPedia

[Dundradal]

I'm looking for an artist interested in creating mission trees for SM1/2. Granted, there isn't any branching possible for either add-on (except retreat and defeat) I wanted to pose it to you guys to create something useful for navigation in the category.

Either a traditional WC1 style mission tree or perhaps something using the WCP sector map. Although, I think a WC1 style one would look better.

I'm going to need them for when I get to entering in SM1 and SM2 missions into WCPedia. So you've got a bit of time.

I appreciate any help I can get on this.

Thanks in advance.

As a starting point, there's the mission trees listed in the CGW Secret Missions supplement. There's also a high-resolution scan as well.

What is this "Mission Selector" that the review you posted talks about? I certainly never noticed a way to jump to and fly any mission from the original WC1, and I played both the original individually packaged SM1+2 when they came out, and also the downloadable versions that were used with the Kilrathi Saga. Am I just dumb? Was this well hidden? Or was it removed from the games after review but before public release?

From memory, there was an option to replace a save game slot in the original WC with a generic pilot at a specifc missions series. I'm pretty sure this function was included in the pilot program used to transfer pilots from WC1 to SM1/2.

Am I thinking of WC2 or is there a command line action you can do to load up a specific mission? I want to say I'm thinking of WC2 (or am completely wrong altogether).

Yes, for WC2 there were files called PLAY-WC2.COM, PLAY-SO1.COM and PLAY-SO2.COM. These allowed you to play a specific mission from a specific mission series, again using a generic pilot.

For example, to play the Gwynedd defence mission against Thrakhath and his two cruisers, you would type: play-wc2 12 d
