quick question

Chaotic General · Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 8:24 pm Post subject: quick question

OK, I finaly got off my computer and bought TFD, I had lost alot of my disks when I moved from home, anyways, I'm trying to replace the wolverin and the Titan with tanks, I made all the changes I need, but my tanks don't showup ingame, the mechs do.

also, I gave GDI the buggy(with a new look), but NOD still has it, but the new vxl shows up.

here is my code in rules:

; Light tank
[1TNK]
Name=Light Tank
Prerequisite=GAWEAP
Primary=90mm
Strength=180
Armor=light
Category=AFV
Turret=yes
IsTilter=yes
TechLevel=1
Sight=5
Speed=6
CrateGoodie=yes
Owner=GDI
AllowedToStartInMultiplayer=yes
Cost=400
Points=25
ROT=5
Crusher=yes
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
VoiceSelect=25-I000,25-I002,25-I004,25-I006
VoiceMove=25-I012,25-I014,25-I016,25-I018,25-I022
VoiceAttack=25-I014,25-I022,25-I024,25-I026
VoiceFeedback=
MaxDebris=3
Locomotor={4A582741-9839-11d1-B709-00A024DDAFD1}
MovementZone=Destroyer
ThreatPosed=15 ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons
DamageParticleSystems=SparkSys,SmallGreySSys
Weight=3.5
EliteAbilities=EXPLODES
ZFudgeColumn=8
ZFudgeTunnel=13

; Medium tank
[2TNK]
Name=Medium Tank
Prerequisite=GAWEAP
Primary=120mm
Strength=180
Armor=light
Category=AFV
Turret=yes
IsTilter=yes
TechLevel=2
Sight=5
Speed=6
CrateGoodie=yes
Owner=GDI
AllowedToStartInMultiplayer=yes
Cost=600
Points=25
ROT=5
Crusher=yes
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
VoiceSelect=25-I000,25-I002,25-I004,25-I006
VoiceMove=25-I012,25-I014,25-I016,25-I018,25-I022
VoiceAttack=25-I014,25-I022,25-I024,25-I026
VoiceFeedback=
MaxDebris=3
Locomotor={4A582741-9839-11d1-B709-00A024DDAFD1}
MovementZone=Destroyer
ThreatPosed=25 ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons
DamageParticleSystems=SparkSys,SmallGreySSys
Weight=3.5
EliteAbilities=EXPLODES
ZFudgeColumn=8
ZFudgeTunnel=13

and with the mechs I put:
Techlevel=-1
AllowedToStartInMultiplayer=no

and my code in art:

[1TNK]
Voxel=yes
Remapable=yes
PrimaryFireFLH=40,32,96
SecondaryFireFLH=-32,80,120
PBarrelLength=192

[2TNK]
Voxel=yes
Remapable=yes
PrimaryFireFLH=40,32,96
SecondaryFireFLH=-32,80,120
PBarrelLength=192

Any suggestions

yes, I made all the entries I need, but they don't show up ingame
Also, I used the stealth tank as my template for the rules

the code seems to be correct. Are you sure you've added 1TNK and 2TNK to the [VehicleTypes] list in rules.ini?

I think he means that he can build it, but it's invisible. Try an Image= tag, otherwise, check that you've named it properly.

Don't replace the mechs. Create new units in the rules.ini and list their names in the [VehicleTypes] list

51=1TNK
52=2TNK
etc.

@Lin Kuei Ominae
I have add them in the [VehicleTypes]

@GodofGamers
No, they aren't even buildable, and the naming is correct.

@Team Black
What I did was make the mech non buildable and AllowedToStartInMultiplayer=no, and then I made the entries for my new tanks.

its like it will not read my new rules.ini, becuase I also made it so GDI had the Buggy not NOD, but ingame, NOD still has it

any suggestions

Where did you put your rules.ini? It must be in the main TS folder, not in any sub-folders (in case you didn't know Wink

)

give them new names, that might fix it :p

I put the rules.ini, art.ini and all my new vxls and hvas into a mix file, and named it expand02.mix

WRONG!
leave the ini's in the folder or put them in Tibsun.mix > local.mix

Renegangster is correct-
rules.ini don't work in an "expand##.mix"

Replacing the original rules in local.mix is a bad idea though - it's best just to have them in the TS directory
