Make a short story that explains you play as sera, so you can do it and fit with the lore

[speed2]

Did you think about different spawns for coop player? For how many player it will be? LIke coop is currently supporting 4 players, but those missions are all designed for one player. ALl players spawn at the same spot. Not much difference if one or 4 players play.

Survive Cybran attack waves
Destroy two Cybran expansion bases
Deal with Cybran
Isolate the Cybran Commander
Destroy Cybran Commander

Don't have to create a whole campaign just to express your hatred for Cybran nation, you racist!
(just kidding, good luck making it)

Would you rather that players have the same objectives or different?

Different, but with how it currently works, you need to assign them to all players and you can specify who should do what in VO.

So basically with the story "You and Colonel Richards are to gate in and retake" Could be changed to "you and one another player. So mission designed for 2 players ^^

Awesome I'll definitely take that into account. I'm also struggling with sound banks and such, think you'll be able to help me?

Quite few things are here http://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?tit ... _Scripting

Id say that recording sounds/making movies is the last step. Since a lot can and will change during mission making. For now its write down what should be said and make it display, if you take the VO table, fill just text field and leave rest empty. This will show HQ guy with next. Later when you do sound and videos its easy to add it
Example:

Code: Select all

M2_KillAttackers = {
  {text = '[Cybran Guy]: Your primary objective is to defend the civilians.', vid = '', bank = '', cue = '', faction = 'Cybran'},
}

I've been following this wiki and it's helped me a lot, the part I'm struggling with is being able to open existing supreme commander voice banks. For example, I wanted to use Leopard11 taunts from SC1 but the sounds doesn't work, video works fine but it fails so resolve the sounds to the engine, at least that's what it says in the debug console. That's the only part I'm struggling with.
