Airbase Leveling tutorial

[Snake Man]

I have started to make lousy airbase leveling tutorial, if anyone is interested of seeing this preview version... its somewhere around here

http://www.pmctactical.org/f4/ab_previe ... torial.php

Its very bad but... I have no clue where Lone Wolf is lurking so thats the best I can do

Let me know if that even works, there are other types of airbase background tiles and the coordinates will be little different, but thats the main idea anyway.

Feel free to comment.

Hm - about the changing of the tiles altitude - why don't use the right click function in Terrainview to set all box-enclosed tiles to the same altitude ?

Much faster...

That was a feature I didnt know about, thanks! Actually helps alot when editing those airbase regions.

Will be updating the tutorial.

Say... anything you find false in there, what could use more thorough screenshots or explanation?

Well, I mean airbase leveling isn't that much of a problem. Normally you have your airbase positions in the terrain features data files and then you don't need to use TacEdit and TV-Converter to find it. If you don't have the features, then of course you must use these tools. Then you just go into the segment where an airbase is, pick one elevation value from an airbase tile, draw a box with right click around and enter an elevation value. That's it.

[Snake Man]

Sure, but how do you position the airbase correctly?

Thats where you need to use a) trial by error moving around, or b) TVConverter to get excat location the first try.

Before I started to use TVC it was pretty hopeless to place airbase background tiles, put airbase object "around" there, start up falcon, check recon.. aww wrong, back to tacedit, move few notches to the right, start falcon, check recon... grah! still no there! Again tacedit and few adjustments for the coordinates... start falcon... you get the idea

Tinstall or ntF4PTinstall.exe comes with Balkans, Vietnam and any other theater released.

If you cant find it from those I can add it to the downloads.
