so i was follwing the wikki here https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Mapping
i had previously created lots of missions for the original red alert games so i wanted to create some for Open RA
i used the Editor to import the old mission map scg01ea.ini (The first mission). I then save this as a oramap file
Once i try to view this in OpenRA as spectator there are no allied units.
I then extract the file and try to add a few lines of code into the .yaml like bellow
PlayerReference@Greece:
Name: Greece
Race: allies
Playable: True
LockTeam: True
LockRace: True
Now i try go back on Open RA and select Greece but get this exception
Exception of type `System.InvalidOperationException`: No free spawnpoint.
at OpenRA.Mods.RA.MPStartLocations.ChooseSpawnPoint(World world, List`1 available, List`1 taken)
How can i replicate the missions from the original game like scot_nz has for the 1st Allies mission
Mapping Tutorials
Need help with creating maps
We currently don't have a mechanism for loading/creating custom scripted missions from ini or yaml yet, apart from loading the map itself. Engine code in C# is usually required for missions to work properly at the moment. We currently keep most of our mission code at https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/tree/b ... A/Missions. I'm usually available on IRC (http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=openra) if you need help with developing a mission. I'll also take requests if you want me to do another classic mission too.

Hi thanks for the quick reply
edit * I have the project downloaded from github and Visual Studio express 2013...copied the dll files and done a build
so am using the editor even when i create a blank map then add a gun man for allies and one for soviets. if i set allies playable to true then the gunman disappears and just leaves the soviet one
why is this
Can you create a wikki page on the steps taken to create the Allies 01 mission?

It's certainly something to get your head around. We can easily give you a rundown of how it all works and get any questions answered if you come on IRC.
