Re: 9 of the most commonly asked questions concerning designing maps are answered here
I got a few questions.
1) Is it possible for me to make a map like GV with no bugs?
2) Can someone fix all my bugs on my scenario?
If not, here are some of the bugs:
3) If a player online choose a civ like India, he would not have 2 explorers, only a europian explorer. The same happend with french, u will not get a scout.
4) When I start a game, player 1 allways start south, player 2 allways start east and so on. Can I have the possibility to make random teams?
5) On GV we can choose our own civs, can I have the possibility on my map too?
6) Some times the camera suddenly jump to the other side of the map, can it be fixed?

Re: 9 of the most commonly asked questions concerning designing maps are answered here
I don't play or design on-line scenerios..Therefore.. I cannot give you the best advise..The guy who started that thread is the best..( In my opinion).. When it comes to dealing with on-line scenerios..You can ask your on-line scenerio questions in that thread, to get Moshe's attention..He frequently visits there.

6) Some times the camera suddenly jump to the other side of the map, can it be fixed?
1st: I have no idea what GV is but can someone make a map with no bugs?: of course lol
3rd: I believe moshe has done this before but this is a way in which i would do it. French: Set a condition if a player ever has more than 0 cureurs that he gets a spy (unit create) then for india if has more than 1 indian vill it gets two indian monks and destroys the explorer and then do the same for the other tad civs and for the twc civs. Just make sure they start out with a built in tc in game, if u w2ant them to start out with no tc, make a cinematic and then during the cinematic destory the tc and damage all units near the tc (the vills) then the trigger will still sense the vills in the beginning of the game.
4th: ?
5th: i don;t know what GV is as i said above, yes u can choose your own civs when you are online by changing HC like in a regular game, if you are not on eso then i don't know i haven't tried it yet. But, if u are not doing it online u can set flags to go into the "cheif power" to choose their civ, for instance one makes them french, china, and so on. Once it piks, destory the flag, then set all techs for that civ to be availible, and do the thing i said on #3 to sense the vills that they get, then i think that this will work
6th: jumps to the other side?
Hopefully this helped with most of your problems

You can post your un-answered questions there..That way..They'll get a prompt response.

Re: 9 of the most commonly asked questions concerning designing maps are answered here
There are 93 known animations for the scenario editor: (I don't
remember if there were spaces) These animations were from all three
games.

are all the animations I know of. If the animation does not work, it
means either your trigger is not set right or the animation is set for
the wrong unit. Not all of these will work for the unit you want to
animate. The animations were made only for certain units. For example
the fly_back animation does not mean old_coot will fly back to where he
came from. I made this thread to help all those people who went
through the same struggle I went through just to get a couple of
animations for my scenario. Hope this stuff will help

Re: 9 of the most commonly asked questions concerning designing maps are answered here
Many have asked "How to place the spc fort wall corners into a fort?"
First you place a spc fort wall corner on your map..Then with the "Position object" you can put it where and how you wish..There is a mod that gives you a perfect star fort over at heaven games\downloads..I've posted the link again.

Starfort

Re: 9 of the most commonly asked questions concerning designing maps are answered here
its the first post on this thread...
1. My computer players don't move.
You have to assign an AI (Artificial Intelligence) to them. Like so:
Place a Town Center or Covered Wagon at the desired location. If you place a Town Center use a normal (not the IGC) one.
Place an "AI Start Object" for each computer player next to the Town Center or Covered Wagon or nearby. Go to the Objects Menu, select Place object, then find the object "***AIStartObject" and put it on the map. You can also add the AI Start object later on in the game with triggers. Then the AI will start working at the time the AI Start object is created.
Go to the player’s menu ("Scenario" -> "Player Data") and select as "Control" for each human player "Human", for each computer player "Computer".
Click "AI" and select aiLoaderStandard.xs (there're other AI files as well, although their exact functions are not understood). Then click "Open". Don't double-click the *.xs files, otherwise the scenario will 'forget' your AI settings (which is one of AoE3's bugs). Click once on the file, then "Open".
To enable shipments select Home Cities for the players. "Reset HC" sets the default civilization-specific HC, "Set HC" displays the current one and enables individual selection.
To support a specific AI behavior set according flags in "World" -> "Map Types", depending on the kind of your map.
Do that for every computer player you want to act like in normal random maps. (Don't assign an AI though to the player that actually plays the scenario, otherwise the human and the computer will both command the same units and buildings.)
It might also be that they don't work in play test mode -- only by choosing a custom scenario and actually playing the game.
don't click

Re: 9 of the most commonly asked questions concerning designing maps are answered here
Parra Power: I've tried almost verything to make the opposing teams move but I have to know if there is, what is the Trigger you have to use to make the Computer teams to move and to have an Artificial Intelligence??? I have tried the Player Active trigger and also placed the AI Start Object once for each team on their town centers but nothing. Any help would be great. Please be specific(step by step), I don't get it very well..  
Welcome and thanks for posting in this thread!
KevTheGreat gave you a nice explaination..Did you try reading page one of this thread?.You Would have seen the original poster's explaination along with this..Maybe now you'll be able to get things moving.
Here's something that may help you also!!
1= Open your scenario editor up and click on "scenario" at top in brown bar. A drop menu appears.
2= Click on "player data" and a window opens.
3= For each computer player select the Ai button at right portion of window and select ailoaderstandard.xs
4= For your civ you do nothing here!
5= You then set the hc for your civ only..Optional..Editor assigns you a homecity. Then click re-set homecity for each computer player.
6= Close the window.
7= Click on "objects" at the top brown bar. A menu appears.
8= Click on "place object".
9= Select "all" and look below. You'll see "ai start". Select it.
10= Highlight each of your computer players "select as" and then place one ai start at each of your computer player's town center (just touching it). Your ai start's color should be the same color, as the civ that you're placing it for.
11= When this is done press "esc" at the top left portion of your key board.
12= Go up to the top brown bar and click on "scenario". A menu appears
13= Click "playtest scenario".
Good luck!
