Anyway, here's the story. About 6 months ago I started working on a Falklands theatre for SP3, unfortunatley due to real life stuff I simply didn't have the time. About a week ago due to being hasseled by various people and with the advent of SP4 and it's extra naval model, I started to dig out my old work and see if I could continue where I left off; which I have been doing so successfully since. This is a brief list of my progress so far:
- Huge amount of research completed into the conflict via the internet and books.
- Terrain has been constructed. Using CATE and TerrainView, I've manually checked and altered 50% of the terrain to my liking.
- I've made 55 512x512 tiles for specific use with the theatre. At this stage the remainder of the used tiles are the default F4 ones, although after I get more of the theatre built I would like complete 100% of the tiles.
- Basic campaign/PAKS etc complete purely for testing purposes.
- UI artwork/maps/buttons/splash screens etc are complete for the theatre.
Ok, now for the questions I would like some help with:
1). When I try to launch my test campaign/te/ia through the UI, F4 tries to load it and freezes. It doesn't CTD's but just freezes. To exit I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL. Any idea what's happening and why it won't load?
2). As from today TacEdit isn't working properly. For some reason regardless of the .cam/.tac file I load it shows all objectives as small squares instead of the relevent icon.
Thanks in advance for any help, I would really like to get this little project of mine working. Please post any general advice I should know when trying to build me theatre.
