So, we seem to have a LUA mission builder in SVN, to build static missions with.

Um, so now for some stupid questions:

1. How do I incorporate this into a map, so that I can finally have Units assigned to Gaia?

2. How are these Missions going to be "delivered" to players? Is there any way to make the Missions available through a GUI?

Needless to say, I'm very excited about this!

Nice, I am also interested in how this works. Ideally, single player missions would be incorporated into the lobby in an obvious way, so that nubs could easily figure out how to play them. Just like a new map or something.

Yes. All I need at the moment, tho, is some method to display a list of missions made in a GUI... and another method, whereby a map would load the objects via a Gadget... that's all we need, to have the interactive map stuff I've been waiting for...

Sooo... nobody is using this, or nobody knows what I'm talking about, or nobody is willing to explain how to get it working?

I'd really, really, REALLY like to get this working, folks. Especially for putting stuff onto maps with, via some sort of Gadget...

SO would I, but I've had the same response as you argh. Anyone who knows isn't willing to help the rest of us

Ah. So be it, then. Overmind for PURE is done, I guess I'm going to try this LUA mess out again, see if I can get anywhere useful without wanting to hurl things around the room.

Or is busy and cannot help. Some things either have to be done by you or they fade into nothing.

I think the mission builder just allows you to .give units, select them, do a command and have the commands neccessary to recreate those units in a mission written to the infolog. I can't remember exactly, I'll have to look it up.

oh they are asking about that... yeah. except for the commands bit.

mostly what it does is write out all the placed objects and entities.

hows that different then saved game?

The "lua mission builder" is really just a helper to automatically output stuff that would be tedious to type in by hand to infolog.txt, so you can copy paste it into your mission script.

It's definitely not a save game
