Abduction working as expected: one LZ, no special narrative, usual win conditions.

Now it's just a matter of recalculating all the Locations for all 10 LZ objects. For every entrance on every map we want to change. :smile:

Since Ranger is part of the original map, not a stream map, it can't be moved ATM.

Before relocating, try this


//--------------------------------------EXTRACTION POINT HIGHLIGHT-----------------------------------------------//
//Vector (X, Y, Z) = (0x4500FFFF, 0xC41BFFFE, 0x423FFFFF) = (2064, -624, 48)

MODDED_CODE= <%f  -3600><%f  384><%f  16> // Vector(x,y,z)

/* BROKEN

The spawnpoints in the base map are named from 1 to 7.. and in the stream from 6 to 11, do you think this could be a problem? I am trying to figure out why moving spawnpoints isn't working.Yessir, I'll add spaces immediately (:

A tutorial on how to make a separate streaming package:

1. Copy URB_ResearchOutpost_Stream.upk to Base_LZ_Mod_Stream_0000000.upk

2. Apply mod file to rename a package and remove kismet scripts:

UPK_FILE=Base_LZ_Mod_Stream_0000000.upk

RENAME=URB_ResearchOutpost_Stream:Base_LZ_Mod_Stream_0000000

OBJECT=TheWorld.PersistentLevel.Main_Sequence.SeqEvent_LevelLoaded_1
FIND_CODE=<TheWorld.PersistentLevel.Main_Sequence.SeqAct_ForceLOD_0>
MODDED_CODE=<NullRef>

OBJECT=TheWorld.PersistentLevel.Main_Sequence
REL_OFFSET=32
[MODDED_CODE]
<TheWorld.PersistentLevel.Main_Sequence.SeqEvent_LevelLoaded_1>
<TheWorld.PersistentLevel.Main_Sequence.SeqAct_RemoveActor_2>

3. Add test map to DefaultMaps.ini:

Maps=( MapFamily="URB_PoliceStation",		  Name="URB_PoliceStation",          DisplayName="URB_PoliceStation Stream Test",          MissionType=eMission_Abduction,           bInRotation=True,  TimeOfDay=eMissionTime_Day,   ShipType=eShip_None,          eRegion=eMissionRegion_None,         CouncilType=eFCMType_None,       NewMap=False, InitialChance=20,  InitialGain=1.05, DynamicAliens[0]=eChar_None,    DynamicAliens[1]=eChar_None, StreamingMaps[0]=( MapName="Base_LZ_Mod_Stream_0000000", Loc=( X=0, Y=0, Z=0 ), Rot=( Pitch=0, Yaw=0, Roll=0 ) ), StreamingMaps[1]=( MapName="CIN_DropshipIntros", Loc=( X=0, Y=0, Z=0 ), Rot=( Pitch=0, Yaw=0, Roll=0 ) ) )

4. Test with developers menu as tactical mission.

Map is winnable, LZ is working, you can evacuate normally using it.

SonOfFacemelt is not winnable. Seems, it just lacks win condition.

LiQuiD911, I'm a bad programmer, so I'm just not sure you won't have any bugs with no spaces between tokens. I tried to, but I'm not sure. :smile:

Spawn point objects are:

TheWorld.PersistentLevel.XComSpawnPoint_10

TheWorld.PersistentLevel.XComSpawnPoint_11

TheWorld.PersistentLevel.XComSpawnPoint_6

TheWorld.PersistentLevel.XComSpawnPoint_7

TheWorld.PersistentLevel.XComSpawnPoint_8

TheWorld.PersistentLevel.XComSpawnPoint_9

Use OBJECT key to select spawn point and FIND_CODE to move write pointer:

OBJECT=TheWorld.PersistentLevel.XComSpawnPoint_10
FIND_CODE=<Location> <StructProperty> <%u 0xC> <%u 0> <Vector>:END
MODDED_CODE=<%f XXXX> <%f XXXX> <%f XXXX> // change XXXX to actual numbers

Try this: copy any abduction entry in defaultmaps, change the name to Name="DEMO_SonOfFacemelt". I am not sure if it is neccesary but delete Sons' stream and add a copy of the outpost one. LOL I am waaay behind you in PatchUPK coding

LiQuiD911, I did. If you type "killaliens" to console, do you win the mission? I don't.

A tutorial on how to make a separate streaming package:

Thanks for this. I'm unclear how to translate to upkmodder syntax, so you may have made a regular patchupk user out of me.

I take it that this simply loads a streaming map that does nothing. Is the next step to add the lines that Liquid is developing that move the XCOM spawn/extraction point? (And I can more than live with the Skyranger staying put).

I kill them the old fashioned way xD with riffles and granades. Edit: wait.. kill aliens with radius also works o_O
