40k / New very large chaos vessel

« on: January 20, 2019, 11:38:12 am »

Hi guys!
I made new VERY LARGE for chaos forces. Design inspired by Desolator class vessel.
You need to patch section for CH07 map in mods/40k/Ruleset/ufos_40k.rul as follows

Code: [Select]

     mapBlocks:
        - name: CH07
          width: 30
          length: 50
          items:
            STR_ELERIUM_115:
              - [8, 35, 0]
              - [8, 42, 0]
              - [21, 35, 0]
              - [21, 42, 0]
              - [21, 43, 1]
              - [22, 43, 1]
              - [23, 43, 1]
              - [21, 47, 1]
              - [22, 47, 1]
              - [23, 47, 1]
              - [6, 43, 1]
              - [7, 43, 1]
              - [8, 43, 1]
              - [6, 47, 1]
              - [7, 47, 1]
              - [8, 47, 1]   put CH07.MAP in mods/40k/MAPS
put CH07.RMP in mods/40k/ROUTES

Any feedback appreciated. One note - please run it without opening in MapView first to not spoil the experience
Have fun

PS I would recommend to play it against chaos traitors in at least Chapter Master(3rd) difficulty and with not first level of tech. Tried it with Captain(1st) difficulty and got only 10 traitors so vessel of such size looks almost empty.

UPDATE
found few UI bugs and fixed them. updated MAP file in attached archive

40k / Mods and MapView

« on: January 16, 2019, 07:08:05 pm »

Bonjour!

First of all i would like to say thank you for all you did! Combining two amazing(and i am big fan of both) things into one is a really great idea!
In the past i have my own patched version of UFO with tougher aliens and my own ufos, so i have some experience with MapView. Everything was fine with vanilla(well more or less vanilla UFO) but i cannot manage MapView to work with OpenXCom and mods. I would like to try to make some another chaos vessels and probably other stuff. And contribute if it will be good.
what i did:
1) I changed the path of UFO in config to mod folder - it says there is no UFOGRAPH/CURSOR.PCK, OK i copied missing files. It opened sucessfully but I cannot see any other maps except vanillas.
2) I changed path to OpenXCom/UFO folder and overwritten it with data from mods/40k. Still see only vanilla maps. I copied one of maps instead of UFO_110.MAP and tried to open it in editor. got every square filled with walls and alert about couple of route points out of map boundaries.
Using very last version of MapView2 from https://github.com/kevL/OpenXCOM.Tools/tree/master/Distribution - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DJ3sCI-izA3N4SFH_xJ4LaFWCo8DWUuw/view?usp=sharing

Does anyone know what i am doing wrong? is there some manual please?
Or is there another way to do it?

Thanks in advance,
Mudael
