stumanator - 9-2-2003 at 06:45 AM

I am making a map but i need to put dead bodies into it can some one tell me how i can do this

Cr@cK - 9-2-2003 at 12:31 PM

This should also be in mapmakers forum, but the way to do it in bhd, in under decorations, the very last 1 in the list is wounded soldier.

Thnx for the help

Also i don't know if this thing can be done but anyway, is it possible to make a downed black hawk be on its side. If the answer is yes can u tell me how to do it.

Cr@cK - 9-2-2003 at 08:36 PM

nope, not on it's side, the pitch for downed bh only works from nose to tail, noy on hte sides:(

thats a shame that can't be done and i can't find the wounded soilder i need some help cause my map needs dead ppl.

You need the updated editor, downloadable in the downloads section of this site, in the BHD downloads:D:D:D I think I said downloads once too many

Eagle_Eye - 9-3-2003 at 05:05 PM

I can't remember, do the bodies disappear? If they don't heres an idea, kill off a group of bad guys with an event, and hopefully leave the bodies behind!

Havac os correct, you need the unlocked MedH or MedI to get the extra items that are not in the standard Med.

confused :s

I downloaded the unlocked mission editor in the BHD download section and i still can't find the wounded soilder.:(

make sure

davesnow - 9-4-2003 at 12:20 AM

I thought I had the unlocked version but found out I didn't. Try unzipping the unlocked version to your desktop and opening it from there.

Eagle_Eye - 9-4-2003 at 02:32 AM

It's got to go into the BHD folder Dave. You will need to open it from windows explorer or make a new shortcut for it, cos it doesn't have one of it's own, Daves probably right, just because you unzipped it into the directory, doesn't mean it runs from the same shortcut as before, it has a different file name!

When you open it, what version is it, up on the title bar? DFBHDMED Consumer 2.01 is the standard version. DFBHDMED Consumer 2.00 H is the unlocked version H and DFBHDMED Consumer 2.00i is the unlocked I version. If your not seeing H or I on your version number, go and make a new shortcut for the one you installed, cos you assumed too much.

thnx all

stumanator - 9-4-2003 at 05:24 PM

I would like to thank u guys and i will try wat u said later most ppl just don't reply to my questions.

Eagle_Eye - 9-4-2003 at 05:35 PM

Don't forget to post back here and let us know what happened, whether you fixed it or not.

Regards

No luck

stumanator - 9-4-2003 at 11:14 PM

I have done all u have told me to do and i only found the wounded soilder on the globab replace and still i can't get it onto my map. Is there a special way of using the global replace.

Eagle_Eye - 9-4-2003 at 11:29 PM

I've never used the Global replace, did you check what version of the Med is running now? What is it?

Regards

Version

stumanator - 9-5-2003 at 01:16 AM

The version i got is 2.01

Eagle_Eye - 9-5-2003 at 01:25 AM

OK, your still not running the new unlocked med, you haven't installed it properly, did you read the post above? It explains what version number is what!

Thats why you can't get all the items!!

Think I might go find a brick wall to bang my head against!!!!!!

Regards

stumanator - 9-5-2003 at 01:30 AM

K i will try again l8r and i will tell u if i got it tommorow

I had a problem, too--!

davesnow - 9-5-2003 at 02:22 AM

Okay, guys... I had a problem getting the correct version of the MisEd... I tried several times to place it into my BHD folder, but for some reason it would not REPLACE the old version. Finally, I had to throw out the old MisEd (delete it into the trash for all you computer newbies) and then re-install the new one. I also found it helpful to have a desktop icon ready too... if you make a lot of maps.

By the way, Eagle-Eye and Havoc... if you have time, please try my new SP map---"C-130 Down" ---one guy (hineigger) seemed to have a problem at the end of the game. I've played it through about twenty-five times (to make sure everything works properly) and it always works fine for me. I'd really appreciate it if you'd take a look---IF you have time.:)

given up

stumanator - 9-6-2003 at 05:31 AM

I given up i am just gonna kill a group of ppl on my map its a pain in the ass and i am wasting lots of map making time i got to go bck to school on monday.

just had a idea

stumanator - 9-6-2003 at 05:33 AM

i know this is crazy but how bout some one make a map with a couple of wounded soilders on.

Eagle_Eye - 9-6-2003 at 05:38 AM

Don't give up that easy. You have downloaded the med zip, unzip it to the temp folder, now use windows explorer to find the DFBHD directory. Find the dfbhdmed.exe now rename it to say dfbhdmed.old now find the new med that you unzipped, and move it to the DFBHD folder, rename it to dfbhdmed.exe. This is the same as the original med, so the original icon will open it. Run thr med, make sure it says H or I, I don;t know which version you downloaded!

Regards

YES

stumanator - 9-6-2003 at 10:00 PM

Just to get back to the original question -

"I am making a map but i need to put dead bodies into it can some one tell me how i can do this"

The way I do it (in SP mssions as I haven't yet written any for other types) is to place your characters on the map where you want them to die and then assign them all to a group, I call the group 'Dead at start'. Then just set up an event that kills the group when the mission starts. Voila, dead bodies everywhere.

It's more effective than just using the wounded soldier because you can use all sorts of characters. The only problem I have found is that it only seems to work with friendly forces. Somalian soldiers and civilians do die but will disappear after a short while. Freindly soldiers remain on the map for as long as the mission lasts.
