If you want to port a mission, please leave a comment below.

[chrisforbes]

It's great that you guys are making progress on these 👍.

[Amelia55555]

I would like to have the other features like the move to Eluant @pchote is doing, visible objectives and celltriggers before we take on more missions. It's just going to be more work for us fixing them to work with these new features.

[Mailaender]

Actually not, we currently use the FVM as only visible objectives. This can be augmented later. If the Lua standard library needs a change when porting to the non-memory-leaking Eluant, then yes we should halt for the moment.

[Amelia55555]

FMV isn't enough, especially when we can't rely on people having them installed in the first place.

[Mailaender]

#4541 is on the agenda, but not a reason to halt everyone scripting missions.

[Amelia55555]

As long as you help volunteer to write/add objectives for the existing missions ;)

[Mailaender]

Lazy @ScottNZ is lazy. Of course, I will even document it at https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Map-scripting so everyone else can, too.

[DanAE111]

I've got Funpark #1 99% complete, and i have begun work on nod02.

[obrakmann]

I will do the remaining two gdi04 missions once the eluant thing lands in bleed

[DanAE111]

@obrakmann im just curious as to how you are going about creating missions, are you looking at the original scripting? or just videos? Also how are you doing stuff without cell triggers O.o?

[Amelia55555]

It's pretty easy to emulate cell triggers atm with polling but this isn't very ideal.

[obrakmann]

It's a bit of all of the above. First, I got the images from here and here. They nicely show the location of waypoints and triggers. I then look at a few LP videos on youtube to get a feel for what the gameplay is like, how the timing works out etc. Then I start looking at the .ini (using this as reference) and write the code according to whatever's in there.

BTW, if anyone knows of images like the ones mentioned above, but for Red Alert, a link would be welcome.

re: celltriggers: @phrohdoh has started working towards that yesterday, so we should get them soon-ish.

See also http://planetcnc.gamespy.com/static2e35.html?page=TiberianDawnMaps which has screenshots however without locations of waypoints and triggers.
