Need Map Finished

[Patine]

I think one idea for an event may involve an assassination attempt on McCain by an unknown assailant that leads to a surge of activity in the CIA (possibly by creating a number of free spies in Washington), hoping to find the source behind the attack. Perhaps also, if Vancouver is captured by the Western Separatists, a few figates are generated off-shore, to represent 'dislodged' naval units that were hastily brought into service from the maintainance bays (hence, why they weren't originally in the city). Have you thought of any ideas, yet?

[Sarsstock]

Yes, that could work. I hope Fairline gets back to us about the F-117 and the shirtless rioter, they will be big additions to the units.gif. As for events like the ones you described, I think in such a war there would be assination attempts by all sides.

[Patine]

Could you please explain the role and capabilities of an M6 Linebacker (if we're including it). I kind of need to know for my rules.txt (and are they an American or Canadian vehicle, or both?).

Here's a very quick-and-dirty rehash of the ToT F117A. It needs more work so feel free to mess with it. When did you ask me for a 'shirtless rioter' BTW Chris? Can you describe him a bit more?

[Patine]

No I think you got them all. I'm going to use this moment to send out an official Fairline request. Fairline, I was wondering if you could maybe provide us with some models for bare chested warriors to represent Florida Militia (The Brando type) and Los Angelas gang units.

That was his formal request back earlier on this thread. BTW, thank's for the F-117.

[Sarsstock]

WOW!! Fairline that looks just great, the F-117 I mean. As for the shirtless rioter, I imagine him being fairly muscular, blue jeans, black belt and either aiming an AK-47 at a target or holding the AK-47 up in the air in a celebretory fashion. Don't worry about his race, we can manipulate that in Photoshop ourselves to suit white, black or hispanic rioters.

Say Patine, would it be possible to change the name of this thread eventually? I think it should bare the name of our title, even though we are yet to agree on a final title.

[Sarsstock]

Wait a minute, Fairline did you say that was a rehash of a ToT F117? Well, as of now Patine and I are hoping this one will in fact be a ToT scenario. Where can we find the unhashed ToT F-117, though I do appreciate the fact you've made it available for MGE scenario makers.

[Patine]

I think we could change the name of the thread, certainly, though I hadn't begun thinking of a name to suggest for this scen yet either.

BTW, it's been slow going on the rules.txt, as I've been somewhat busy lately, but I hope to pick up the pace soon.

[Sarsstock]

No worries, I've been a little slow with the units mself ever since I was on that three day blitz when I turned out about a dozen units on the units.gif.

[Patine]

Say, Sarsstock, I've made some progress on the rough draftof the rules.txt, notably the units part, but I need the model name of Canadian APC's. Also, if we're going to include them, please fill me in on M6 Linebackers, or they likely won't make the final cut. Thanks!

[Patine]

You know, I've just finished doing a rough draft of the unit stats, even leaving space for the M6 and Canadian APC, and I now think these units will indeed fit onto a MGE roster. If you have no objections, I think we should convert back to the more user-friendly edition and just use a batch file to fit in all of our events.

[Patine]

Here, in fact, is the ToT rules.txt file I was working on. Only the units are actually done, (with the Knights holding the Canadian APC slot and the Catapult holding the M6 slot) but it should give some idea as to how I envision things. Let me know what you think

[Sarsstock]

With your permission I'm giong to try to recruit either Catfish or Fairline to apply that incredible ToT graphical shading to our tanks and or airplanes.

Just looking at those incredible WW2 units recently posted really stops me dead in my tracks. I haven't taken a look at the rules.txt yet but will do so shortly. I'm affraid the graphic side of this game may be a little longer than the rules and events, though possibly not by much.

[Patine]

Graphics shapings are fine with me. I just recalled I've forgotten the C-130 and Boeing 747 in the rules.txt, and now I must ask, on that topic, how do you do transport planes? Do you assign a number to the 'holds on ship' slot and an air domain? Does that work? Or this there another way to do it?

[Patine]

By the way Sarsstock, you were wondering about my scenarios. Here's a scen I made a little while ago just as an example of my handiwork. Though this one doesn't use your flags, if you could make me up a flagset for the ones used here, I would greatly like that (all graphics credits are in the Readme.txt). It covers my take on the Vietnam War (you mentioned some interest in a Vietnam scen a while ago, or that you were working on one). It's mainly to illustrate my scenario-design style (and, admittedly, some advertising and show-and-tell as well). Please have a look.

BTW, if you have any completed scens of your own, however old, please post one; I'd like to see it.
