Mission Contest

I really would love to participate, but my parents don't want me downloading editor

Why wont they let you ? have you tried to explain that it is not a virus infected program ?

yes, but my dad apparently doesn't like the idea of me altering program files.

youre not altering "anything". you are making your own.

TAG has given you, me and the rest permission to alter the few files from their core that needs to be modified, so if it is cause he fears a lawsuit, then he dont needs to worry

Nah, he's just paranoid I guess. (I have no idea why, though)

but I'll keep asking.

I voted a week ago, but I didnt post a message at that time.. Now I forget what choice I made, but in any case I have some missions already made and would continue except I was disappointed when I discovered you cannot program any units to be "blue dots" or "unidentified contacts" which takes out all the mystery and surprise for any mission that would require it.

Did you try the "random" placement options? That may be the trigger for the blue dots...

I still haven't gotten the hang of the mission editor yet (I need to find some time to really study it), so I can't participate yet, but I'd love to.

Trust me, if I knew how to use it, I'd be submitting missions aplenty.

We're going to abandon our plans for the Mission contest - looks like the amount of interest is a little low just now.
