@coolguy: You're pretty far off. The mod will start in sometime in the 90's in the beginning of the Belkan war but with some things changed around that makes Osean intervention impossible for some time.
 
you have Isaf as a contray???? i was under the inpreshon it was a aliance to deal with the Eursea that was my understanding or maby it is a contry:confused:

but good luck with this mod:D
 
Concentrate on the map first, but you probably know that already. Once it's done, all will be simple in comparison.
 
Isaf

Yeah I think ISAF was a group of collected Nations, however, to represent in Hearts of Iron Ace Combat, should probably have it start out as seperate nations but through events should gradually change over to Annex the member countries of ISAF to make it all one nation to represent the fact that they all tied in logistics, armies etc, becoming one military. Then post War ISAF did disband after a year or so, gotta remember to make them all revert back.

But yeah once again the map will be the most difficult to do, so keep shooting for that.

If you need help with clarification or anything in the Ace Combat series please do ask I write fan fiction for it so mostly know my stuff.

In the mean time I'll be looking up those other member nations to see if that helps, also make sure to put in a decent amount of provinces on the continents so that the wars don't litterally end within like a month cause there isn't much to take.
 
Indeed it was. I just wanted to save the time of making a bunch of different nations, events, AIs, OOBs, etc.. All of this on top of the fact that the nations that made up ISAF have never been revealed - forcing me to make up names, capitals, ministers, etc.

It's really not practical to have a bunch of nations separate in the beginning of the game and then just have then join shortly afterward. It'd be much easier to just have the ISAF formed already.

I've run into some difficulties with the provinces so it may take some time before I make more progress.
 
thats a very good point i never had a look at it that way but will the city that the boy lives in be a independent contry as well as well as north point should that also be a part of ISAF a nother contenetal super power to Rivel Ocea and Yutobana?

also i am not shore if you menchend it before but will this folow the time line of the ace combat or be set in the fucher after all the wars
 
The country that the boy lives in is San Salvacion which is included as independent from ISAF.

As for North Point, I think they will remain neutral from the ISAF as well. For the ISAF itself, I'm not quite sure what their position will be in global matter.
 
I know the focus right now is on the building of the map, but was just wondering something. I don't know if I was hearing/reading correctly but I thought that the reason the Modern Day Scenario II mod was built upon Doomsday and not ARM was because of a problem with the modern time line and the time patch. Something about the ARM game not being able to read the 2000 years. I don't know though. Did anyone else ever hear of anything like this? Was this ever fixed? Or am I totally out-of-it and just dreaming?

On a side note. Is there anything we, the would-be-possible-developers, can do while you SemmiS draw up the map? I feel alittle useless just having you built this all yourself.

Awesome !!!:eek:

Don't forget Sand Island, Murska Airbase and North Point, the main strategic points of the map !

Another detail, but it's not the priority, you should add revolters for South Belka, an area under Usean influence after the Belkan War.

The biggest AC database, which you probably know : The Electrosphere.

Keep it up !
 
I've still not been able to solve a problem I got a few days ago. Though it not make much sense to you guys that have not played around with map modification, maybe someone who has can help me:

When making the ProvID images, I go through the map maker and make the initial radish files. It says "color not found in ID table: yadda yadda yadda". Now, using the color range tool that selects any color that I input into it (in this case, the color that gives me the error in mapmaker) I find and overwrite the color with whichever color the province uses that it is on. I search for the color again to make sure it's gone but it's in the same places that it was before. My theory is that at the edges (like, 1 pixel edge) the color gets "washed out" a bit and just so happens to turn into that color. Any help would be appreciated because this has got me stumped for some time.

EDIT: @Trot: You could help by writing up a storyline. Right now there is none.

I solved the problem above, but ran into another. :wacko:
I asked for help on the MapUtility Discussion thread but currently there are no replies.

Here's a little update of the flags I did while I'm waiting for someone to help me. I hope you guys don't think I've given up on this!

the flags look grand :D

nice job
 
Thanks for the support.

Still waiting on a reply on the MapUtility Discussion thread.

I might as well work on something else if I can't work on the map. I'll be doing the interface but I would like some input. Since it's kind of hard to find propaganda/the usual stuff HoI uses as backgrounds from Ace Combat, does anyone have any ideas on how it should look? I'm playing around with some things right now but it's not looking great.

Yes, I know it's not much for how long you guys have been waiting but this is a huge leap for me because I can now work on smaller provinces without having to worry about all those problems that have been plaguing me. Yes I do know that there are rivers in the middle of the ocean/random places they shouldn't be. I haven't started on them yet so they are still the rivers from the real earth.
