Editing – Operation Flashpoint: Elite Category

Editing Limitations

The follow items are not supported by the in-game editor:

• Triggers
• Synchronizing triggers/waypoints
• Scripts
• Customized user text, addons, or sounds

Recently Operation Flashpoint fans have imported missions created in the PC version to Operation Flashpoint: Elite. These missions are generally tweaked using the editor in the PC version and then can be hashed together to work on the Xbox version. While this makes it a lot easier to construct the mission and add user text and scripts there are still some limitations. Most of these limitations concern the multiplayer missions.

Operation Flashpoint Conversion Limitations

• Sounds are not supported (MP only)
• .jpg file type is not supported - only .paa and .pac image file types are supported
• Briefing files, scripts, and files residing on the host will not be transferred to clients. (think server-side scripting)
• Fonts are limited and have changed to support TV format.
• Building names have changed.
• There is a problem with cutscenes created with triggers in that the trigger now has x,y,z coordinates and z seems to be set to 0 (height), thus most cutscenes are viewed from ground level.
