DCG: An idiot's Guide
#50

Ok guys, there are alot of pictures in these next few posts, so here we go.

Like I stated in my previous post, we need an Sea Route from an American Supply zone to the invasion harbor. We can then make another sea route from the harbor back to the supply zone. I recomend putting one location between the supply zone and the harbor. The reason for this is to give the Japanese a chance to sink the transports while making the campaign last alittle longer.

This first picture is what I am talking about. It shows where I am going to put locations and the sea lanes

When you do this in the mission builder, I suggest making segiments of your road, and saving the segiments as .mis files somewhere. So what you would do is make a road segiment from the US_Supply_Harbor to Pacific_Ocean_1. Save this file. Now delete this segiment and make the next one, Pacific_Ocean_1 to Betio_Island_Harbor. Save this file. Repeat and so on ...

More pictures:
In this picture, I have just combined them for simplicity and so you can see, but what I have done is set two roads that meet at the Supply_Harbor. These two roads are an airfield and a shipyard. If you add the shipyard, you can spawn random groups of ships at random intervals. You can use the other one as either a Seaplane_Base or an airfield, your pick. You can name anywhere a Seaplane_Base and have it actually spawn float planes for takeoff. You DO NOT need a float plane airfield marker. You have the liberty to make seaplane bases ANYWHERE.

In these pictures, I have kept the previous roads in so that you can see. But when you make these on your own, delete the old one and save them in incriments. It will make your life a hell of a lot easier. I promise. But Anyway, the current road segiment is highlited in white, and I have marked the beginning and end locations.

This should complete the Tarawa.SRD data that we need. Are there any questions on what I have just done?
