EAW Maps : Synopsis suggestions

Mike Mar · Post by **Mike Mar** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 4:01 am

I need your help.

Building EAW Missions is the easy part. Finding good stories to give me ideas as to how to build them, is a little bit more complicated.

Of course, I could build missions just for the sake of building them. But I like it when there's an idea/story behind it.

Here come's where you can help me!

E-mail me stories of what you have on your mind, they should be short and just give a general idea. Don't write a chapter! I will then create missions based on the stories you guys will have sent me, if it's possible.

If you don't know how EAW missions are played, it doesn't really matter. Shoot your stories anyway and I'll try to make them in Combat Chamber Missions.

Of course, the more good stories you send me the better your chances to win a reward. ;)

Not sure you'd allow it but you could send some to me as well! :D :P

Mar,

Read some of the fiction I've written before, specifically "Duty Calls". It has a large battle between the Chimaera, Nemesis, and Vigilant against a rebel fleet. It's in the archives.

I will send you an email later on with the "backstory" for another one that was alluded to, but never fleshed out - that is, if you want it.

Thank you.

I will sure take them.

I have some stories put aside that some Officers sent me. As soon as I can find time to build more missions, I'll start with those. including yours. :)

Ok so I know this stuff is old... but are you still looking for ideas? If so, then message me, I have so much untapped potential, it's on the verge of burst (jk). But really I could think up hundreds of stories. By the by, how does one make missions for EaW????

It's never too late. :)

But it's much better if you build them yourself.

Find the EAW Terrain Editor on the net. It's not easy to use at first, but once you know some basics it will be easier to help you.

I just downloaded it!! The problem is, where will I find it when I want to play it? I made a mission, saving it and it didn't turn up in my list of missions...

Find where it ended up, and put it in the

C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War\GameData\Data\CustomMaps

If the CustomMaps folder isn't there, you'll have to manually create it. Just thought I'd throw that in :P

Ok, so I have the custom maps folder, and I have the editor, and the maps appear there, until I start the game, they're not in the custom maps area on the skirmish/battle menu...
Is there a reason for that?

Have you updated EaW? I've had this problem numerous times and unfortunately there was never a concrete solution. I just messed around with stuff and then it worked :/

thank you, sir. I'll try.
I also downloaded the expansion's editor and it works, idk.
thanks, I'll try it. :)
