Guest Atredis_ Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 I was wondering, does anyone else have a problem with the scenario editor? Don't get me wrong here, I love the fact that the game developers thought enough ahead to include one, but what they did give us was a little disappointing. When I first opened up the editor, it looked all shiny and new; I was excited. Then I got below the surface... I'm a big fan of the Star Wars Novel series, so I decided to make a campaign based on the X-Wing series. That's when I found out that you can't make your own heroes. You can't edit unit stats, and you also can't edit EXISTING hero stats. So I was screwed, there is no Rebel X-Wing hero I can change the name of, and the actual unit is far too weak to be of use in a scenario. So then I just wanted to make a space station, something that looked cool. But I realized then that they don't have different tilesets for each map type, a la Starcraft or other decent map editors. It was just one big take it or leave it tileset. This big tileset is quite lacking in terrain objects for all types of terrain. Now, I won't turn this into a big long rant, because I know 28.5% of the people who voted like the map editor best of all in this game. Either they had a very low opinion of the game itself or I missed something in my brush with mediocrity I like to call the Scenario Editor. -Atredis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Runestone Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Ever play Aoe2? This Scenario Editor is EXACTLY the same...sorta...Anyways, you can edit units via Triggers, you must place the unit on the map first and plus its indiviual, meaning you'll have to create a Trigger for every single one.

Aegis Runestone Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 About Terrian editing, YOU CAN MAKE A SPACESTATION... Go to Map, Generate a Map using 'Starfield' Tile as Base and then pull out the Terrian section and go down and select 'Metal 1' tile, Ta Da! You can make a Space Station now. Note: Want edges? Pull out the Units section and select for player as 'Gaia', go to Buildings and look for Asteroid Canal, something like that...You'll find it.
