Where are the editing regulars?

Ah, so I wasn't the only one who asked him?

I just don't get that. Don't they realise that with beta testing, the more people test, the better?

Nah. If anything, we'll use BW shuttles from WC4. Makes sense to me

I still haven't got that destruction scene to work. What am I supposed to do when it asks me for "....IFF"?

It means you are missing a ship, make a note of what its asking for (as I remember, intrepid and vindicators (2nd version on HCls site) but there are others). Just extract them to your SO directory, the iff requested should make it fairly clear what ship is wanted.
 
No, that's the whole point (I am intelligent enough to understand when it's just missing a ship

). It's not asking, for example, for "banshee.iff". It actually is asking for "....iff". Yes, that's right. A filename consisting of three dots and the .iff extension. If you look at HCl's explanation, he says that he used "..." as the camera object, and ship as object type. So, the game assumes that the camera is a ship, and that the ship's file is called "....iff". In the explanation file, he adds that he originally had a small program that later altered the mission to make it work - but that he had since lost the program

So... any ideas on what to do? I'm starting to understand bits and pieces about how mission design works, but... <sigh>

Well we seem to have a problem there because my knowlege is fairly basic, when I ran the mission I used the pre-compiled version (which I lost), I think you'll have to pass it onto someone who knows what they are doing for them to fix.

Oh? What's the problem in 4?

It's just a little escort/defence mission, if I recall correctly.

We're not quite sure yet. I *think* there's going to be two or three missions which are actually different to the ones on the winning path. And there might also be another two or three losing path missions which are just like winning path, but harder.
 
ok, but remember winning track is the priority, we can always cancel the losing track if neccessary (hopefully it won't be if wingED hurries up and gets released)
 
Just done the wreckage of the intrepid.

Yes! It looks great

. There are some slight problems with collision checking, but that's not your fault. As I recall, dead models were fly-throughable in WC4, and they're not in WCP, which causes problems. But I'm sure we can keep the player busy so he doesn't have time to perform a closer inspection

You cant fly through it, that spaces that appear clear to go inside, are actually the textures that make it transparent, the model is entirely solid.
