I have been playing with Thomas mission builder and the WC3 ships for Secret Ops located in the download section. I have not planned to release an addon, i just made it for my amusement. I would like to say BIG THANKS to everybody involved in the WCSO editing tools.
The ships work great, and the mission builder too. I have made a bunch of missions with Darkets, Sorthaks, Paktahns and some confederation ships.
But i had encountered two problems:
The first problem is the VDU images and ships names. All the ships VDUs are set to Piranha. I have been thinking in making the correct VDUs, and i have found the tools to convert bmps to mat.
But i don't know how to set the ship VDU. I know that the information is stored into the folder ships in IFF files.
As far as i know, each ship has a number slot. Can i edit the IFF file with an hexadecimal editor to change the ship number slot ????
Can somebody tell me how i can change the ship slot ????
The second problem is about mission integration.
I want to make some kind of Wc3 campaign with thoses ships.
When i change the mission name from s0.mis to a1.mis (the first mission from Secret Ops), the mission don't load, and Secret Ops reports an CRC error.
Can somebody tell me how i can integrate a mission into Secret Ops ??
