Build longer walls?

kaluakiki · Vehicle Driver **Joined**: 30 Dec 2003

This go'es for any wall (firestorm, laser fence, nod wall, and concret wall.)

Is it possible to extend the distance between the first built wall section and the next built section ready for construction?

I think I messed up my ini. When I build a wall now its only 1 cell at a time, and takes extreamly long time to box myself in. I cant remember if its suppost to be like that. I know this might be a newbish question, but I would really like to mod, or fix it.

GuardRange=x, where x is the number of cells that can autostretch.

DCoder beat me to it lol. I think the normal guard range on them is 5 for instance, so making it 10 would double it, as an example.

I red this than red the first reply and was all, "@!? YES! FINOLY! THAST HOW YOU DO IT!"

Now what I want to know how can the price of wall be changed? I tryed to change it in ini with no effect?

EX Firestorm normally costs 250 so I went in ini changed it to 25
ingame it costs 250 still? Is it hardcoded? Confused

I felt the same way when I read DCoders response and I'm pretty sure to tell you the 250 bucks is hardcoded, cuz it's only since the update from old TS to newer version, i.e. Firestorm. I looked for it just as desperate.. Rolling Eyes

Idjit you amaze me at how a human being can have such a low intelect level.

must be edited correctly, there is a 99% chance you managed to do it wrong.

Ok, so I opened up rules.ini, and added the new line under GAWALL "GuardRange=10". Nothing changed. Same result with 6 and 8.
What am I doing wrong?

Oh, I forgot to mention. The "GuardRange" thing for walls isn't in the plain rules.ini. I found it in the expand01.mix that firestorm uses.

..

First, you don't create a new line. There's a line 'GuardRange=5' under the GDI/Nod/Sandbag/Firestorm/Laser walls.

Change THAT, don't create a new line.

I've had the same problem with the TS/FS walls price. I simply delete the number 250, and replaced it with 100. That's all I did. And you know what happened?... Nothing. Not a single ztyping thing. The price stayed the same, despite what I did. No, I didn't make a new line, all I did was change the number. That is ALL, I did. Anyone have a solution for this problem?

There may be more than one entry to change in more than one file. There was that problem in RA.

The Rules.ini file I used DIDN'T have the guard range. I had to dig one out that did. Even so, I changed it, and nothing happened. So I made another wall. The guard range is at ten, and it works. I can also change the price. I did the same for all of the other wall types. Same result. The new ones work just finewith the older ones.
Here's the Rules.ini code for the GDI wall:

; 10 cell-stretch concrete wall
[GAWALL2]
Name=Concrete Wall2
Strength=150
Prerequisite=GAPILE
High=yes
Armor=concrete
TechLevel=6
Adjacent=4
Wall=yes
Sight=1
Selectable=no
Insignificant=yes
Nominal=yes
Owner=GDI
Cost=200
BaseNormal=no
Points=5
Repairable=false
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
ThreatPosed=0 ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons
IsBase=no
GuardRange=10

Be sure to add GAWALL2 to the building/structure list in the Rules.ini file.

Thanks.

excellent
right, to educate you people on stuff that pretty much is set

the 155mm cannon damage seems to be affected by one of the patches, clone it and use the clone*renamed* in the desired unit

the hmec entry strength is also set
make a clone with Image = HMEC

the gawall and nawall have this problem as well, clone em
make the normal gawall and nawall unbuildable

that's the stuff i remember

this is all seen in the current TSD rules files

i'm back to working on it, i resolved an extremely troublesome problem that pretty much got me laying off of TSD

expect TSD to make a lot of progress these coming months
