Quick Mapping Question
Hey was just working on my first map and hit a little snag. How do you assign oil derricks to scavs? Im using flame, and cant seem to figure it out. Is there a particular player number i should use? Ive looked through the guide BlueMaxima did,and couldn't find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Re: Quick Mapping Question
You can't assign oil resources to a player.
Any player can use them by placing a oil derrick over it.
Place a oil derrick with scavanger player number over a resource.

Another question, Now ive placed derricks for my scavs, they dont show up in the game. the map is 2 player, with the players as number 0 and 1. I have the scavs set as number 2. So i dont know why they wont show in game. Any ideas? Thanks!

Scavengers need to be on team 7 and then you need to have scavengers set on when setting up before playing the map.Dourden4 wrote:Another question, Now ive placed derricks for my scavs, they dont show up in the game. the map is 2 player, with the players as number 0 and 1.

Re: Quick Mapping Question
All right, this is almost done. just one more question. How do you do a base layout for the "start with bases" option? Ive tried just placing buildings in the map, but i can only get the command center, power generator, and the oil derricks to show up. The factory and research center do not. I place them the same way the game will allow me to build them, yet they are absent. Thanks again!

Anything more than command center, trucks, oil derricks and power generators are advanced bases.

BlueMaxima, if you don't mind me asking, would this addition to your guide be helpful for future reference? I'm just saying...
it was included when i first did the tutorials...
