Map editing & creating HELP needed, see details in post...

Post by Doruletz »

OK, so what I want to do is modify a preexisting map or create a new map from scratch, but with some very special features, read bellow...
I need this map to have the features I've seen on Youtube in the games of the "Winter tournament 2016", namely have the 2 extra nonbelligerent players (spectators or idle players) with the "Satellite Uplink Centers", which allows you to see the whole map without using DEBUG and GOD MODE. I'm assuming that this map will also allow you to enter the game as one of the idle players, to just watch as the game unfolds, since the guy who made the video is NOT playing.
And this is exactly what I want...
I will be Switzerland in WW2 :lol2:
Seriously, I will in fact use this type of map to watch 4 or 6 AI BOTS play against each other, and maybe even enter DEBUG MODE and take over one of them every once in a while...
So basically it's just for fun, and also to get a glimpse into how the AI BOTS think, if you can call it that...

Here is one of the many videos on that channel that shows this type of map:

Look on the Map Preview, which you can see before game start, for well over a minute into the video. Those idle players are 4 and 5, at top and bottom of the map.
Around minute 1:30 you see the actual 3D terrain view, as the map loads and, the actual game is about to start...

I'm also posting a couple of snapshots bellow:

Figured it out all by myself...
You just make the map as usual, adding 1 or 2 extra players.
Give them a truck and a Command Center which is the minimum required to be included in the game as a player.
Next, add the Satellite Uplink and box them all in real good, somewhere out of the way, either in a corner or by the edge of the map. This way they won't take space needed by the actual players, nor be targeted by any enemy units / radar.
DONE, works like a charm. Having tons of fun with it...
