Updated Med Help File
Iceman & Eagle_Eye have upgraded the original mission editor manual and placed it in a new format, which is easier to use. It is fully indexed and
cross referenced. It includes more explanations on some subjects.
We hope you will take the time to comment on this help file. Your comments will decide we revamp other med manuals.
The file size is 1.5 meg. You can download it at the link below..

Paratroops
Para troops are easy to do...
place a man of to the side of your map...way on the other side. make him group 3 for example
now place a teleport target where you want the para to come from...make the teleport target the same group..group 3..you'll need to give the teleport
target a number..like you do with a waypoint..edit it's item attributes..over on the right hand side...you see number 0...change that to 1..you must
number each teleport target with a different number.
these must be the only 2 things in that group...
now raise the z value if the teleport target to 100...edit it's item attributes...type 100 in the left box where it says Z.
now place an area trigger near the teleport point..say it's area trigger number 1
create an event..if group1 in area trigger 1 teleport group 3 to teleport target 1..
save and export the map...play the map...run to the area trigger and watch for the paratropper...
Regards

Skinning DFLW......
Well I actually figured it out on my own. After pouring through thread after thread on old and new DFLW sites I was able to put the pieces of skinning
together.
It's all pretty dang simple as it turns out.
Note - Before I did anything I extracted all skins and textures out of the game. .PCX and .TGA files.
Decide which character or object you want to reskin and then find its corresponding graphics files from the PFF file. I've only been reskinning people
so far and have found out some weird things about them. The two I've done so far have had three separate skin files, one of which was a different file
type, two .TGA and one .PCX. There are some other people that draw on only a single graphics file. About the graphics. The game badly distorts the
details of a skin. So putting a lot of detail into a skin is a useless gesture. You will have to settle for blurry bodies and slightly more detailed
faces. Concentrate on highlighting details in light and dark colors as anything inbetween tends to just blob together.
So take the old skins into a graphics editor of your choice, and of course one that is compatibale with the file types. Then change around whatever
you want and then save the file with its original name back in the DFLW main folder.
Load DFLW with /d added to the command line and your new skin will be immediately imported into the game. And that's it!
For some as yet unknown reason all of my custom skins have been deleted from the DFLW folder on a few occassions. So make sure you make a back-up or
all your hard work will be gone.
