If you wont to only change the weapons, you don't need a new or midified .fgd.
But you have to learn how to model weapons, or you can use weapons made by other, just ask for permission to the authors.

In the OP4 intro the rocks are made with func_trains and func_rotating.
You can use it if you have to make something similar (i.e. a canyon)

A func_conveyor can be good if your plane is on the open sea, using a water scrolling texture.

Yes, in fact, the train is stationary, while the terrain around is scrolling; nearly like a river.

I have finally found the solution. Simply, all the moving entities must be placed at the center of the map (coordinates 0, 0); when the level start, they spawn at the correct place.

Ok, thanx for all.

P.S. don't think that SOF have animated skys, this is a fetaure introducted with Quake 3.

Or here:

Why?

Anyway, i have looked also at the SOF map; but here only the train is made by brushes; probably the terrain is a model or something other.

Here you can find a good selection; but i'm not sure if the site works ok.

Theorically yes; and is the same ting Gearbox did for the intro in Opposing force (where you are on an osprey flying trough the canyons).
I think that there is a bug or something when a func_train travel too long (over the half of the map space).

Err... but i need the entire map covered; otherwise it result a too short train. Maybe i can reduce the lenght of the terrain and split into 2-3 levels the train...

The strang thing is that Kiltron, a Ritual mapper, has made similar map (except for the fact that the terrain is a giant func_conveyor); and there is a func_train (the bridge) that goes from one edge to the other with no problem!

Dod has used an older version of Spirit. I think that most of the features are not usable/included in other mods.

Pro- there are many and many advanced things that you can use; just some examples:
-A great particle system
-movewith function: you can bind an entity to another (example a breckable glass that move with a door)
-Use of custom models and custom beaviour; you can have barney that attack you and marines that help you.
and many other things (someone has made also a working veichle)

Cons: a documentation not really complete.

Yes i have read the Verc article. And make a similar map. But in this article the rocks are less long than mine. My terrain goes from one edge of the mapsize to the another (i takes all the map lenght). I think that maybe is a bug in the func_train that cannot travel too long discances.

Anyway, if you can, download the map and take a look. I have not included the textures, but there are only 3-4 texture used; so you can quickly replace them.

The map is in the Help section:

http://cariad.co.za/twhl/mapvault_map.php?id=1807

This is a map i'm making for CZ:Deleted Scenes.
The map will be a mission like the Train level in Soldier of Fortune 1, or SC:Pandora Tomorrow.

Basically there is a train (not made) running; but in reality the train will be the static part of the map, and the terrain is scrolling around it.
I have divided the terrain into 7 func_trains; there are 8 path_corner. All the terrain pieces have the same name, but a diffrent start point; when they're triggered they start moving.

Here is the problem: some pieces wait at the last path_corner, and some others, when reached the last (the 8th) path_corner dont go to the first, but at another point.

The terrain is triggered by a trigger_once near the player; move around a bit to start the terrain.

Help me, please.

Thanx
