Hi everyone, new missions!

[Kyth]

Hello!

As I've mentioned before, I have been mucking around with the Steel Fury Mission Editor for the longest time.
And eventually, I came up with something playable! Here's a little blurb about the mission:

Kyth Mission 1

In this semi-historical scenario, the Red Army has pulled off a nasty surprise with their initial Spring offensive in the Kharkov area.
Elements of the 3rd Panzer division (that's you) have to deal with the developing situation, which could only be described as 'a ghastly mess'.



Download the mission here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/4lF8khES/KythMission01.html

As always, you have to add a new line in the user_camp.engcfg file to get it to show up:
New_KY_01, txt_mc_mymission_1, 1, 0, Back_KY01.tga, txt_cit_02, 20, txt_history_tky_1, hist_map_teach, levels\levels\cm_users\New_KY_01.level;

Good hunting!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the 2nd mission in this series, following on from the first one:

Kyth Mission 2

Your kampfgruppe has to reopen the supply lines to your beleaguered front-line defenders. Dark and stormy night, rain falling in torrents, enemy strongpoint to be captured! Your quick thinking and skill could spell the difference between victory and defeat...



You can download the mission here:

And, please remember to add in this extra line to the 'user_camp.engcfg' file:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the 3rd mission in the series, following the events in mission 2.

Kyth Mission 3

The encircled defenders have hung on grimly for the past 2 days, throwing back repeated assaults on their positions.
Now, can they hold on for much longer? ... Make sure that they do!



The mission can be downloaded here:

http://www.4shared.com/file/uOzbSWOe/KythMission03.html

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the 4th mission in the series, following the events in mission 3:

Kyth Mission 4

The enemy is planning another of their pre-dawn attacks. Your kampfgruppe's task is to launch a pre-dawn attack on the pre-dawn attackers!
Just don't let them pre-empt your pre-emptive strike...



Please download the mission here:

http://www.4shared.com/file/FORxPxHZ/KythMission04.html

Careful with this one, there's a lot of maneuvering to be done!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have another one for you! The 5th Mission follows on after the events in Mission 4.

Kyth Mission 5

Your kampfgruppe is to make a quick strike on the enemy positions, Over the River and Through the Woods. Drill them full of Lead!



You can download the mission from here:

By the way, here's a tip: Set your platoon formation to 'none', if you're ordering them across the river.  You will need every tank you have!

Have fun!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you ready for your next mission? This one (Number 6) follows on after the events in Mission 5:

Here's a little tip for today: take good care of your infantry!

Have fun!

Interesting mission for the PzIII, thx! The script is really complicated. It was a bit confusing, at first I didn’t understand that after “attack blocking” I’d have been moved to the Rat village, but secondly I got it over.
BTW
Instead time trigger(radio massage) u may use text trigger from editor. Like this:
triggers()
{
...
my_trigger, 0x2000d, txt_screen_my_massage, 0xffd0c0c0, 25.000;
...
}
where:
my_trigger – name trigger
0x2000d – operation code
txt_screen_my_massage – txt variable
0xffd0c0c0 – text color
25.000 – duration of text massage, sec
txt variable is described in mymission_loc_data.text
i.e.
txt_screen_my_massage () {We’re under fire;}
As for installation it’s been accustomed for me to using “Create new mission” -> “Unpack”.
I’ve packed your mission as New_KY_01.datapack.
At this point there’s no need to make a fix for the file … Steel Fury - Kharkov 1942\data\k42\loc_rus\levels\LEVELS\camp\user_camp.engcfg
The new mission line will write down automatically.

Yes, that's true, but the datapack installation misses out the extras, like the canned history, and the nice screenshot above. 

[lockie]

Agree, but as my point it's optional.

[Txema]

Kyth,

Thank you very much for your new mission !!

[frinik]

  Kyth's mission really rocks! excellent atmosphere, good use of the Bereka map, plenty of action, artillery barrage, ambushes etc .

Players don't open your gunsights at the beginning of the mission otherwise chances are your gunsights will be damaged by the explosions.Wait until you leave the village and reach the blocking point.

Kyth the only criticism I have is : WHY DIDN'T YOU DO MORE OF THEM MAN!

Regards

Frinik

[Kyth]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your comments! Much appreciated!

And yes, I have a couple more missions in the works (finishing touches) which I'll be posting when ready.
Also, some more mission ideas are still floating around in my head! 

Thanks again,

[Stig]

First off, thanks for adding to the pool of missions we have to choose from!

A question:

Does this have a briefing that is applicable to this mission? Or, said another way, have you figured out how to add briefings to new missions so that we don't have to read another briefing from another mission that has nothing to do with the one at hand?

Also, have you figured out how to add new splash screens, or does this new one use a "stock" splash screen?

[Kyth]

Hi Stig,

Yes indeed, the mission has its own briefing ;

The splash screen is the nice screenshot seen above, in the first post.

Please give this mission a try! 

[Stig]

This thread is still confusing me mightily.   

From the beginning now: HOW do I unpack this?

Create new mission” -> “Unpack”.

Where is this done? In the mission editor? Or if not that way, where exactly do you put the files?

In the read me, the reference to user_camp.engcfg file is very unclear. I must have a half dozen of these files floating around in the folders. Which one is it, in which complete file path?

[lockie]

From the beginning now: HOW do I unpack this?

Create new mission” -> “Unpack”.

Where is this done?

That's: "...\Steel Fury - Kharkov 1942\bin\rel\shell.exe" root\programs\newmis.program

[Kyth]

Hi Stig, Lockie,

I assume you're referring to my mission?
There's nothing to unpack, just extract my .rar file to the MODS folder, and activate it using JSGME.
The user_camp.engcfg file is here:



Add the new line to user_camp.engcfg, and you're good to go,

[Stig]

I suppose my confusion stems from the fact that this is a standalone mission, not a campaign.

Eventually, won't it become desirable to have separate lists of missions and campaigns that are groups of missions?



==================================
I've successfully unpacked the mission (I think) but in the briefing I see only three question marks ""
And I don't see that excellent screen shot anywhere in the menus. I suppose I'm still missing something here...

[Kyth]

Hi Stig,

You didn't tell me whether you played the mission? Is it okay? 

That's the most important part...

If that part is okay, then, let's go over the 'user_camp.engcfg' thing again:

New_KY_01, txt_mc_mymission_1, 1, 0, Back_KY01.tga, txt_cit_02, 20, txt_history_tky_1, hist_map_teach, levels\levels\cm_users\New_KY_01.level;

Copy the line above and paste it after the last entry in 'user_camp.engcfg'.
As some of you may realise, it's actually some kind of 'csv' file. Don't leave out any commas from that line!

Hope this helps!

[Kyth]

Hi Stig (and everyone else),

Are you comfortable with moving folders and files?

This little 'tree' below should make things a little clearer, which files go where:
