Requesting the modified El_alamein map
Requesting the modified El_alamein map
Hi there. I sometimes like to play el_alamein on lan, and really enjoy fan favourites El alamein dc map modified version.
I was basically wondering, since I have no clue how to add more vehicles in my current el_alamein map, if I could somehow attain a copy of the servers el_alamein map?
or if anyone can be kind enough and help me add some vehicles to my el alamein map? like the machine-gun chopper, a blackhawk, and maybe another apache?

Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
That request is something that Swanny would have to approve for letting you have a copy of the El Al mod , but I think it would be best if you looked for a DC el al modded map that already exists. If you go to a site www.bfmods.com or just even google for DC El Al maps you will find lots that modders have done for general use.

I don't care if he has it. I'll pm it over.
Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
Aha. I got it. It works with dc-final. the only thing is it only works in conquest mode. is there any way I can make it work in co-op mode? (we like to play with bots in there as well)
Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
I dont think that mod is co-op supported , only CQ if I remember correctly.
Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
in that case, would I be able to edit the existing coop Dc final El_Alamein map and add some more vehicles?
Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
Yes, any mod or vanilla map can be modded , just be sure if you want a client side mod ( all players have to have it downloaded ) or a server side mod ( only the host server/machine needs the mod ) .

Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
I was running a "Players vs Bots" server which all maps were modded very much.
If you' ll mod COOP el alamain, be careful ;
1. Don't add Stryker. It makes deep lag on server
2. Don't use SA3 guided rocket. It makes server crash.

Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
I'm just looking to add a few more vehicles but i've been running through some obstacles when i try to edit the map with RFA explorer i try to save my changes and then create the rfa but at 96% i get an erorr.
Is there a guide that can help me with this?
I'm basically trying to edit a dc
Final el alamei coop map and either add or exchange vehicles. Like add maybe a blackhawk with the miniguns
Add a minigun chopper and a few more small things. Is this simple stuff?

That means RFA is only at a 4% failure rating ... damn he is better than I thought

Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
that 4% is killer
Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
Ok, so far my research has turned this up. I found a program called "BGA" it's an RFA explorer. Basically it allows you to put any map in there and edit/add vehicles without the bullshit.
I was able to change a few vehicles in my El_Alamein map which is a huge step forward. I just need to be able to do so in the coop game mode.
I'll update as I progress.
Edit: Here's the link to it.

Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
Are you changing the name of your modded version. Only reason I ask is I am not sure if the server will kick you for not having the correct map. I would do a "save as" and name it something like El Al modded and leave the original... well original.

Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
I tried doing that but it doesn't work. I'm trying now to figure out a way to patch it like yours.
Okay. I've figured it out. thank you to Swanny for that patch file. I've used the same method but instead deleted everything besides for the "Singleplayer" and now it works flawlessly.
Thank you. This is awesome!

Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
Yes I should have mentioned BGA to you , its what I use and is a big time saver. If you want to add a new vehicle to a different part of the map than use battlecraft that should have installed when you installed your game. Word of caution thou , use it ONLY for coordinates and never save ! (unless your making a brand new custom map) . Hitting save will alter your original map rfa and you will get a "mismatched data" error if you try joining a server running that map.
If you ever need help and you see me on TS feel free to hop on and ask.

Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
Hey. I was wondering what would I have to do to cause damage to tanks with the blackhawk miniguns, they seem to be a bit under-powered.
serverside.
NVm. Thanks to BOOn. I got it!
Edited the ObectSpawnTemplates.con file and added these 2 lines
"ObjectTemplate.Active Minigun
ObjectTemplate.projectileTemplate 25mmChaingunProjectile"
"Minigun" for the blackhawk mini guns
and "25mmChaingunProjectile" for the bullets that come out of the minigun, i took it from the apache, so those are explosive rounds!
Mission accomplished! I hope this can help someone down the line

Airfist bullets from the minigun would be awesome!
Re: Requesting the modified El_alamein map
I wonder if my cpu could handle 10 scud explosions per second
