Some more 'advanced' FMB tricks.

OK fellas, let's do a river op.  It's just a little bit trickier, but I think you'll like it.

1. Set up a basic mission, one plane will do for now:

[MAIN]
  MAP Palau/load.ini
  TIME 12.0
  CloudType 0
  CloudHeight 1000.0
  player 14FSquadron00
  army 1
  playerNum 0
[Wing]
  14FSquadron00
[14FSquadron00]
  Planes 1
  Skill 1
  Class air.P_40M
  Fuel 100
  weapons default
[14FSquadron00_Way]
  NORMFLY 71754.05 69087.56 500.00 300.00 &0
  NORMFLY 70954.73 68433.34 500.00 300.00 &0
[NStationary]
[Buildings]
[Bridge]
[House]

2. Next, set up a river route.  Use an aircraft as it will plot anywhere at all on the map, land or sea.  Take care with this step, it's the most important and can't easily be changed later (without starting over).  In this example the route is for six barges, so set the first six, and the last six waypoints reasonably close together as they'll set the spacing for the entire convoy - you'll see what I mean soon.  We won't be keeping the aircraft of course, just the waypoints.





3. Add a single barge for now:



NB: Camo Barge from ShipPack by FC, Archie and Microwave

4. Open the .mis and take a look.  The interesting bits are in red (the river route waypoints) and green (our barge):

5.  Delete the un-needed data from the river waypoints, we just need the first two co-ordinates from each waypoint, like this:

It pays to take this slow and steady to avoid mistakes, have a cup of coffee ready, or a Bourbon.  ;D

6. Now cut and paste the river route between the two barge waypoints, like so:

7. Copy the extra part of the barge waypoints, to the river waypoints like so, in green:

8. Delete the two original barge waypoints (the first and last waypoints in the example above) and the aircraft you used to plot the river route, we don't need them any more.  If you worked carefully you'll have a perfect river route for your first barge:

10. Copy the entire river route into each of the five additional barges, completely replacing the original two waypoints you created for each barge.  It's a lot of code so I wont post it here... but you follow what I mean right?  We now have six barges each with ALL the waypoints for the entire river route.

11. Nearly there!  :)  To space out our convoy on the river we now need to delete some waypoints so the barges begin and finish in order.  Our first barge starts on the first waypoint.  To keep our convoy in order though, we want it to finish on the 6th last waypoint.  So we need to delete the last 5 waypoints for the first barge.  Make sense?  The second barge in our convoy starts at the second waypoint and finishes at the 5th last waypoint, so for the second barge we delete the first waypoint and the last 4 waypoints, and so on.  Ok with that?  It makes sense when you do it!  :D  Just make a backup of the .mis before you start in case you screw it up.

Take your time.  When you're done, plonk down some static cameras and check the route in detail at 8x speed.  If you have a problem, check the numbers in your .mis - our brains are good at recognizing patterns.  I made a mistake building this route myself, and when I looked at the .mis numbers, it stood out like dogs bollocks.  If it still doesn't make sense - this might help you visualise it... the asterisks are the first and last six waypoints in the route:

*1

*2

*3

*4

*5

*6

V

*1

*2

*3

*4

*5

*6

And here's how the .mis file looks:

Important Note: Camo Barge from the ShipPack by Archie, MicroWave and FC.  Great job gents!

The beauty of building convoys this way is that it's extremely flexible, and works for all your ships and vehicles.  You can build routes to have your ships sail into harbour on maps where it just wasn't possible before because you couldn't plot the waypoints directly in the Full Mission Builder. You're bound to have a bunch of ideas already!  :)



That's the hard work done.  Riverine ops are kind of spread out in a linear space, so I like to plot a 'Recon' secondary or hidden target objective at the beginning of the convoy route, and another at the end of the route, to make a 'Patrol Area' and get a mission accomplishment.  Best of all, this convoy is strafe-able!  I'm gonna go add some more planes and a few objects and have a test flight.

Back tomorrow with a Beach Assault and River Crossing... then a Beta release.  :)

Cheers

Just wondered about something - would it be possible to have landing crafts getting to the beach using this method? Or making amphibious vechicles actually amphibious?

Hi Mati  :)

Yep, next tutorial is an amphibious beach assault, and a river fording.  Will work for any ship or vehicle.

[Beta] Coastal Attack Mod will include a 'strafe-able' landing craft object (similar to the Barge2, BargeCamo, Trawler and Steamer) to complement the existing amphibious ships.  On the to-do list for tonite.

Thanks for looking in. :)

Thanks for the kind comments everyone!  :)

I've been having fun putting this together, so I hope you'll enjoy the end result, coming soon, including the test missions for you to play around with.  Your encouragement has sure helped!

Here's some bonus info about FMB waypoints that you might like when putting your own missions together.  I've found the information incredibly useful: 



One really useful tip here is the 'Sleep' function.  Give it a try if you need your convoy, ships or vehicles to 'pause' while your planes are en-route to the objective area.  Could really help to get your mission timings nice and slick!

Like a doofus, I never wrote down the author so I can't provide a proper credit  :-[  so if anyone knows the author please let me know.

Cheers

There isn't anything really to add as far as plotting an amphibious beach assault is concerned - all the tips you need are in the previous posts.  All you need to provide is the imagination.  It would be nice if you could have tanks and vehicles spawn after the landing craft beach, but unfortunately only aircraft can be spawned to start later in the mission (as far as I know).  But with a bit of imagination you can mix up your scene with some craft coming in to beach, some already beached or backing off to return to the dock ship, and some vehicles already on the beach ready to move off.



Rather than show you how to suck eggs, I've just included a basic beach setup in the test mission, using ships, vehicles and some Coastal_Mod objects, along with some 'aircraft' waypoints, to get you started.  :)



Same with river fording operations, pick a likely looking area of the map, plot some waypoints with an aircraft...



And add some vehicles.



Then just merge the vehicles and waypoints in the .mis file like we did for the barge convoy.

Be sure to check out the action in the test missions.  :)
