I have downloaded FMSE from the Starfleet Universe website and it is great, but I want to make special missions like the campaign missions in the game, not fleet combat missions. Is there a program that can do that, hopefully without any C++ knowledge ? Thanks all, MR. R-WB+
The scripts aren't written in C++ either. I believe they're in virtual basic. I know this because I had tried to compile one in bloodshed.
It didn't go so well.
Oh well. That's probably the reason it was written by programmers at 14 East and/or Interplay. The good thing is that in SFC, they already have a "mission maker"- the Skirmish Mode. Big plus for games in my book.
The SFC1 scripts ARE written in C++, but you will need some C++ background to work with them effectively, and to compile them you must have the following installed:
(1) Visual C++ 6.0 (other C++ compilers will not work for the SFC API)
(2) The SFC1 API (the EAW/OP/SFC3 APIs will not work with SFC1 scripts) You can get this at http://sfc.strategyplanet.gamespy.com/downloads.shtml Launch the repository, go to Mission Scripts, and download the SFC1 Mission Script API, unfortunately you'll need a fileplanet subscription - if anyone has one and wants to grab/post the file it'd be much appreciated!
(3) The mission sources - dnet has many of these, I've got a bunch, and there are more floating around in various locations.
