Theater developmental notes - How to Auto Place Objectives TUT
-
Har dee HarHar……Save and Close
Yep Gents you guessed it, I used BMS Editor to align the Features,on the Objective, on the Tile…much easier to do now as we don’t have to convert our .DDS images back to .PCX images that LOD Editor needs
Step 1, we first need to take a look see in TE at the Objective on the Tile:
Hmmm… not so good alignment there. Time to whip out BMS Editor and take a look at this puppy via its CT record:
Well that doesn’t help a lot, there it is in the middle of the sea…LOL!!! What needs to be done is to get it on the Tile in theater that its on. We do this in…
Step 2, At the bottom of BMS Editor it gives you the option to change the Objective X,Y on the map NOTE THAT THE X,Y in TE and BMS Editor are reversed!!! Punch in the MAP Coords of the Tile and Walaa!!!Thar she be on her Tile…matey…
Step 3, Now we can Select all features and use the Objective (Not the View) Move\Rotate\Center dialog at the top to align our Features, on the Objective to our TileKewl Aid…Beats the Hell out of the way we used to have to do it…

thanks!!!No need to save Separate anymore, just copy and paste the BMS Objects\Misctex folders into YOUR theater terrdata folder, that will be the one both tools use now.
(Thanks BMS guys, now about the SimData???..…LOL!!!)

I asked because sometime I added an objective in TE and I could not see it in TacEd… (to rebuild the PAK-add links, parent links).
Thanks.Eghi

Well me too couldn’t save via TE… all work was done via TacEdit. And some times iirc some saves went totally wrong and thankfully I had a backup.

Good morning, Gentlemen.
This mine is obviously addressed most to the devs.: is there any update after the 4.34.1 has been released?
Thanks in advance and have all a nice day!
With best regards.

Hello,… open terrain editor, open objective lab, on one texture I put a bridge and the same bridge on another texture, but when with falcon editor I position the second also the first bridge moves again. thanks for the answer.

Hello again I solved by inserting two different bridges (ID1094/1087) using the same when positioning one the other moved.:D
