TMF: first mission
TMF is designed such that when you want to make a mission you can just start from the template. The template is pre-configured with a platoon for each side and the appropriate settings to use them on the fly. The intention is that you can then easily delete what you don't need. As it is much faster to delete what you don't use that to place everything yourself.
Copy mission template
The first thing you need to do is to place a copy of the mission template in your missions folder. You can find the template folder (tmf_template.Altis) where the @tmf mod is on your harddrive.
Copy this to the folder where your editor missions are stored in. This folder is typically:
<my documents>\Arma 3\missions
or if you do not use default arma profile
<my documents>\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\<profile name>\missions
You will need to rename the folder such that it is of the format <mission_name>.<island_name>. To get the island name of an unknown island just save a new mission in the editor with that island it will create a new folder with the <mission_name>.<island_name> and you then just use that island name.
Load Mission
