OAW / EAW Mission Making in 2005
in 2005 there were more tools available for editing EAW files.Mr. Jelly, Gurney, and myself all have some tools for various areas..Much of a scenario as described can be done without hex editing.And it saves much time! In light of the tools available I've decided to not continue to finish this tutorial.Hopefully I have provided at least enough info to get you on your way.With the other tools and a bit of investigation you should be able to finish a Mission now yourself.Be sure to ask at the SimHQ EAW Forum for any additional help. And be sure to try my SMF program, which can produce OAW Type mission edits like this from Default EAW or other Scenarios' files in a few minutes!
..Now there are even newer tools made by MrJelly that can easily code a whole mission, and are quite reliable, never-the-less knowledge of the eaw files and coding as described is important if you wish to understand how things should be coded and correct errors if they occur.One of the main differences you should be aware of about missons made by newer tools is that Airfield.dat and Targets.dat and Tardata.dat locations might not be using the conventional locations at all, so you really have to check the data thoroughly to edit them by hand.
