Welcome to the TS Mapping Tutorials forums!

Here you will find a great deal of useful information and helpful tutorials that can help you on the way if you're new to making maps for Tiberian Sun.

Still got a problem, and think it would be a good idea to have a tutorial for it? You may then request a tutorial by replying to this thread

Then I will...I want trains to move...I read the "How to make vehicles move." tutorial in TumSum but that doesn't solves my trobule!

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:Already solved!

Meh,I guess I'll request one.
How do i make a orca transport periodically come and pick up civilians,leave and come back in 3-5 minute intervals.
Thanks in advance.

I can't really answer this because I haven't done this before, but if I intended to do this, I'd just open a westwood map that features this and examine the triggers, teams, taskforces, scripts, waypoints and everything to see how it's done. This is how I found out how to get trains and civilian vehicles to drive around the map and activate/decativate a firestorm wall for instance. Can't you just do the same?

Yes,But I wanted to do it the lazy,incompetant,easy as hell way .

lol funny as i would find it harder to read through a tutorial than to just open a WW single player map and look at all their triggers. but people do learn through different methods.

maybe ill post a tut on how a lot of the triggers work......when i have time to write it though or maybe TitanMarkII is already doing so.....lol......i think ill get to work on this soon

Naaarghhh, don't bother making tutorials The SMMC is there for experimenting, that way, the best of the best gets through, I want people to get mapping SP missions, not read through heaps of tutorials and then present me with similar stuff in their own maps... That'd be lame and would break the point of the contest

Besides, TO will come with a huge mapping guide and some special utilities, so don't worry about that

Bleh... I'm happy for TB46, but i still want to know, so i request that tutorial...

Just uploaded that tutorial

I'd like one that fires an emp at a waypoint when a cell tag is crossed...
on singleplayer or multiplayer (emp fired by neutral) if that's possible.

I haven't figured that one out yet, and I still haven't gotten my FS disc back, to check out the gdi last mission where that's used...

I would like a tut on how to make AI triggers and make AI stuff.
And a full sp tut would be great for new people. But I am not requesting that

>>>>I have a problem with firestorm maps<<<<
in the singleplayer maps I've been working on, nothing but the LAT and the crystal cliffs form firestorm ever show up in game; no fauna, no blue venifara, juggernauts, no nothing.
yes they are correctly titled gdfs01 and nodfs01

It's not gdfs01, It's fsgdi01 or fsnod01. And Is this the right place to post it ???

can someone move the tunnels with curves tube turorial on ppm to here

woops you're right; but yes they are titled the right name, I just wrote them wrong when I posted...

I didn't want to start a new thread and this seemed like the best place to put it, as I couldn't really find a btter place...

So can anyone help me then?

Should wish I could But why can't normal people add tutorials ?

How about fixing all of the archived tutorials? The links are all dead.

agreed. why werent all the tutorials moved all at once anyways?

BTW the entire archived forums are down it seems. you can get on the forum itself and browse but when you go to view a topic it gives some error message
Iv PMed the DvD just now about this problem. so hopefully he will get it straightened out.

i would get you that tunnel tut you asked for in your other thread but seeing as the only tunnel tut at PPM is the Making Tunnels with Curves one so i cant. sorry :sleep:

I'll see if i can lend a hand about bringing some of the old tutorials over... However, because i'm clueless, i'll...

a tunnel tutorial would be good

You can find it in the archived section
edit: Doesn't work to enter anymore.

Yeah. I wanna edit a campaign map, but I don't want to screw it up in any way.

If I open up say, the last FireStorm GDI mission and add units, can't I just save it and the changes will be made? Again, I really don't want to screw it up, like I did with the original Tiberian Sun campaign.

Now that I mentioned it, I guess I'll ask another question. I tried to create a new campaign looooong ago, and I ended up messing up the campaign thing in Battle, which is in the same folder as Final Sun. I remember reading that I have to replace GDI's or Nod's campaign for my new one, and I replaced GDI's. Now, it didn't work right, and now both GDI and Nod campaign won't even show up on the campaign selection screen when I try to play them in Teberian Sun, NOT Fire Storm. I miss the missions, and I never finished them, so could anyone help? I just want to find the original settings so the campaigns will be playable again.

I must be a dummy or something cus' what I read was obviously wrong, I think. Misleading.

Moved, as this isn't exactly a tuorial request..

You say the problem is because of your battle.ini?
If that's the case, all you need to do is delete it, or take it out of your directory, or rename it to something the game won't recognize..

EDIT: I can't move stuff in this topic, nvm

Well, I found it appropriate to put it here. It does have to do with maps, editing maps, y'know?

Thanks for helping me with my campaign problem! I'll try it out...

Still don't know about the editing the campaign part.

FinalSun >>> Press F1 >>> Find single player Maps Tutorial.

This'll save me having to explain it to you.

Sorry, but I guess you or some one else will have to, the computer that has Final Sun on it doesn't have internet access anymore. I'm using my new comp.
