Hello there!
I was wondering some things about the mission in Cydonia.
*Is it possible to modify it to be a day mission?
*Is it possible to make it a 3 part mission? (Something like "Landing near Cydonia", "Assault to the Underground Entrance" and "The Final Assault")
*Is it possible to modify the map to add, for example, a landed Avenger? (One different from ours, just pure decoration)
Thanks in advance! ;D

1/ look at "always day" standard mod for inspiration
2/ cydonia itself is an example, since it's 2-part mission... you just need to define a "next part"... or, you know... look at T'Leth, that's a 3-parter
3/ addUFO command in map script

Ok! I think that will be easy. ;D

Cool, I didn't remember T'Leth was a 3 part mission! How to define it?
3/ addUFO command in map script
Is it required a custom Mars terrain or I can use the vanilla Mars terrain?
I want to make a mission about a large invasion of Mars, instead a single Avenger strike. And I think to add another craft to the mission (as I said, just for decoration) and even some allied troops. And I just don't know how to do it haha. ;D

Look under alienDeployments, there is a definition like "nextStage" or something.

You can use the standard Mars terrain, you only need to change the mapscript.

Haha well, while I've finished XCOM: UFO Defense many many times, the last time I finished a game of TFTD was in 2015, so I did not remember it. Sorry, Solarius! :'(

Yes! That's exactly the script. I even can define a winCutscene. ;D
3/ addUFO command in map script
I was reading a very useful page of the UFOpaedia (I even printed it, caray!), on the Ruleset Reference and in the "Map Command" section it's what you talk about, Meridian. I imagine that the "addUFO" command to add an Avenger, it must be defined as UFOName: STR_AVENGER, is it correct?

I am not sure, but wouldn't "executions: 3" ore something like that be enough to spawn 3 Avengers?
Of course you also need a new craft definition, since the normal Avenger can only take 26 people...

Hello everyone!
I did a quick test and I was able to add the tips that you gave me and they worked! My last question is: where are the missions on Mars defined? I still can't find it's location, to add an additional part. EDIT: D'oh! I just checked again, it's in alienDeployments. ;D ;D

Instead of the Avenger, I use a Skyrider and It worked. :D
Thank you for your help, Meridian and Solarius Scorch! :D

Here https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,2576.0.html (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,2576.0.html) there is a set of original unused ufos that in mine opinion, could be used on mars

It's awesome, davide! Thank you! A very old, but useful, post.
In my opinion, it could be fit better into a Moon terrain. Maybe a pre-Cydonian mission. Do you know about any lunar terrain?

WOAH! A lot of art.
I see that much of that posts are from you. Do you have this moon terrain working? I think it could be super useful. ;D

I love this idea of a three part mission. How are you getting along with it?
