 Re: Fatum Nautae - A Skirmish Scene I'm guessing Fatum = Fatal/Dangerous, Nautae = Nature/Water/Sea.
Now I have that out there, I'm going to download it. Could do with a new map.

Re: Fatum Nautae - A Skirmish Scene Fatum as in fate? In that case "fateful seas" makes sense.
Anyway, YGMDL for sheer suspense.

Re: Fatum Nautae - A Skirmish Scene Fate Sailor or Sea of Fate.
That said, it's a good enough map.

Re: Fatum Nautae - A Skirmish Scene Sailor's Fate. Those Romans and their crazy sentence structure...

Re: Fatum Nautae - A Skirmish Scene By sailor do you mean spaceship pilot? I mean, it's not like there's a Latin word for that is there? So it could mean [rather than directly translate as] traveller's fate.
I like the use of red rock to make that large cliff-face. Softer rock weathers fastest, so it looks more natural from a geological perspective.

Re: Fatum Nautae - A Skirmish Scene Mirefrost is right; it's "fate of the sailor," or "sailor's fate."

Re: Fatum Nautae - A Skirmish Scene Make a new texture for it then. Or find one that works with CC already. You don't have to just settle with what you're given, that's what CC is all about.
Also, I think you'll find the default texture is even more horrible.

Re: Fatum Nautae - A Skirmish Scene Just had a look in Base, and from what I can make out in Materials.ini, The texture can be any size. Take a look at this: Code: AddMaterial = Material
Index = 16
PresetName = Dense Red Earth
Bounce = 0.1
Friction = 0.85
StructuralIntegrity = 50
DensityKGPerVolumeL = 2.0
GibImpulseLimitPerVolumeL = 15
GibWoundLimitPerVolumeL = 0.1
Priority = 10
SettleMaterial = 51
Color = Color
R = 120
G = 55
B = 32
TextureFile = ContentFile
Path = Base.rte/Scenes/Textures/RockRed.bmp Recreate that code under an undefined index [say 15], give it a new name, change the colour slightly [and in the scene materials .bmp] and then choose a new texture. Put all that into your index before the scene.

Re: Fatum Nautae - A Skirmish Scene Sounds interesting by all these comments, but a picture would be nice. I don't normally download without a preview of the item I am downloading, take this into consideration as there are probably people like me and you are missing out on sharing your masterpiece... or is it? I can't tell because there's no picture!
Edit: It's pretty easy to take, just download "fraps" free trial or something.

Re: Fatum Nautae - A Skirmish Scene Hmm... my little Latin knowledge tells me that Viri is most definitely green.
The obvious translation to Servus [and probably the one google translates it to] is serving or servant, but that makes no sense... and I have it on good word from my close friend that Servus can mean to protect or preserve.
So er... my best guess is "Protected Green".

Re: Fatum Nautae - A Skirmish Scene I would guess serving/slave men- clones?
As for the AI zones thing, it's to do with your map not being XWrapped.
You'll need a bit of Lua to force dropships into their designated landing zones.
