Modding Carver V mission
Thank you for this awesome mod !!
I'm a noob in using the mission editor.
If someone can help, this is the problem I'm exeperiencing:
when i save a modded campaign .pak with the editor (added rp points in carver mission 1 and 3 enemy mechs in 3 different positions), when I play the campaign, the map is compromised and some part of it appear to be always black (both in the selection menu and in the tac map during the mission)
The mission itself is perfectly playable, it's only an aesthetic problem.

Other question.
Is there a guide or a walktrough to use the editor ?

Thank you again for your work with this mod.

Hello!

I haven't encountered an error like yours, so I'm not quite sure what to do, unfortunately...
Hopefully, someone with more experience with the editor can help you.

In regards to the MC2 editor resources you are requesting, I do know of one place that might help. It is a bit outdated, however, but most of the concepts explained should be the same.

I'll try finding it; I know it's somewhere out there on the Internet.
Does anyone else know of a MechLab website? It has/had loads of useful information on things like height maps, lighting, some scripting, water, fog effects, etc.

Lloisiar,

thank you for playing.

Before editing any mission in editor you must open mission_name.burnin.jpg file located in data/textures folder. Open and then save the file as mission_name.TGA. You must convert jpg to tga file.

Mission_name.tga is base terrain texture for editor.
Mission_name.burnin.jpg is runtime terrain texture for the game (mainly because it is much smaller in size then TGA)
