  Registered Member #1915 Joined: Sat Nov 17 2007Posts: 107 | I am attempting to make my first DFX Special Ops coop-map using the SOMED. I started with the plain old DFXMED, but started over in SOMED. Anyway, I’m finding it very time consuming to have to stop editing, save, sign-on to nova world and start a LAN server in order to check my map in 3d-real-time (seems like every minute and a PITA). I’m wondering if there’s an easier way… an DFXSO type mission editor out there that I could be using such as the JO-N.I.L.E. ?[ | ||

Also, when making small changes in med you don`t always need to quit game, just push "ESC" in-game and you will get three options RESUME, RESTART, QUIT. (if I remember correctly). select RESTART, then it loads the mission and the changes you made in med will be changed. So... Have two windows open, SOMED and DFXSO. Push "ALT+TAB to toggle between them. If you make a small change in med, and want to check it in-game afterwords just move your "player marker" close to where you made the change and Save and Export. Then open the game (ALT+TAB)..... select RESTART and you start the mission close to were you made the change with almost no timedelay.... NOTE: This don`t always work, if not, QUIT the game back to Single player page and reload the mission. Hope I made sense.....  [ Edited Mon Jan 14 2008 ] | ||
