===Introduction===

Operation Flashpoint: Elite has a built-in mission editor much like the original OFP PC version. You can build decent, relatively complex missions using only the in-game editor and the mission templates provided. The editor does have limitations when compared to the OFP PC version...


===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 OFP 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.

===Limitations on converting OFP PC missions to Operation Flashpoint: Elite===

*Sounds are not supported (MP only)
*.JPG and .GIFs are not supported, only .PAA and .PAC image file types are supported
*Briefing files, scripts, and files residing on the host will not be transfered 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.
