Start MS paint
Open your file
save as "BMP 24 bit"
Import the new file in SHP builder
(remember selecting pallet and so on)
Save as xxxx.tmp (in the dropdown menu)

There you go!

EDIT: oops, it wasn't PNG>BMP it was PNG>TMP Laughing ^^

^^^^^
Worst .png to .tmp tutorial ever. Sorry, but it is. SHP Builder is not a tool to be used for TMP files just yet. There may be a new tool released sooner or later. But until then, XCC TMP Editor 1.05 would be your best bet.

Be more specific, what type of building are we talking about here ? a defensive building, helipad, nuke silo ?

Also..

Open art.ini or artmd.ini (md for yuri\'s revenge) and look at other buildings code..that is the best way to learn along with the occasional question to help you along, just remember to be specific as to what you need help with.

depends what it is. .shp or vxl. heres the rundown.

you need to add a new entry in the art.ini. and the rules.ini
make sure you put .shps in a .mix file called ecacheXY. (XY=#>02)
voxels can simply go in the ra2 folder, but best put them in a mix file aswell. usually expandXY(XY=#>02)

Look at the existing entries to see what each type needs.

(infantry,tank and building or effects animation "trailers,overlay,explosions,and projectiles")

Each type have special settings to define what it is and to function properly ingame.

mainly for animation cycles and sequences also what cameo to use and sometimes palette. etc. Westwood left definitions on what the tags do.

.shps need to have the correct palette units use unittem.pal while trees and rocks use isotem.pal

also if it is terrain object/overly it needs the correct extension for theater art. (.sno, .lun. .tem...etc)

voxels are simple. all it needs to be defined. by giving it the tagg voxel=yes. of course it needs other tags if it has a turret or fires at a specific area. ( Forward,Lateral and Height coordinates. FLH)

then hop over to your rules.ini add Image= to the unit or type entry. with the value of the name you have your art.ini entry.

so. if you made. [DUDE] in the art it should be Image=DUDE.

or the new entry be declared as [DUDE] and it will automatically use the art entry with the same name.

thats the crash course I hope it helps, theres more tutorials though on the specifics, best search the forum for more.

If your talking about RA2, you can't have working running animations for warfactories(them opening and closing).

Can someone turn on the light for me (and maybe others), please?
That is, can someone explain the relations between *TurretIndex= Weapon*= *TurretWeapon= IFVMode= (from rulesmd.ini) Weapon*FLH= (in artmd.ini)?
A scheme on how a tag affects another?

There are lots of stuff more obvious than this.
I've read the comments but they are ambiuguous.

"WeaponX=the name of the weapon to be thought of as weaponX (where X is
an integer)"
kind of cyclic explanation...
A little scheme wouldn't take longer than a flammy reply for an experienced modder.
IMO it would've been much easier if there were only 2 tags: IFVmode= (for occupant weapon) and HVA for graphics; no numbers.
But there are 5 tags (mentioned above) + fvtur<no>.
So, what are the relations?

lol braindamage. Don't say what would be better unless you actually can understand what happens, kthx.

%sTurretIndex determines the index of turret (fvtur%02d) to use for the %sTurretWeapon 'th slot. (Elite)Weapon%d defines the weapon used by certain IFVMode.
I would never have guessed that.

Ok, thanks for assuming I'm familiar with the fv part routine in rulesmd.ini, artmd.ini and expandxx.mix... Rolling Eyes
I'm a newb, that's why I'd use a tutorial. If I knew it, I wouldn't ask for it in the first place, would I?

Anyway, now that you mentioned TurretIndex sets fvtur untangled 90% of the knot.

It's not difficult as much as it's cumbersome.

It works without destroying them. Destroying them will stop from ore spawning.

lmao i posted the wrong tutorial. srry.
If you meant AG's tutorial it seems that you will have to force-fire into the ground to make it spawn. I don't have any trouble with that it works perfect.

But there is a tutorial made by Apollo and gamemate that has what you need:

I've seen that there are two voxels in the ra2.mix file that are for the GDI/Nod apc(apc.vxl and apcw.vxl).So how do I make amphibious units like it(uses the ***w.vxl when on water)in RA2?

It was a one of special hardcoded unit so there is a very high chance (im not a experianced RA2 Modder) the logic has been removed from the exe (it is useless any way, 1 unit only with no turret was all that was supported)

Oh yeah, it was removed alright. There is a very slim chance that in RA2 1.000 it might work. Even think, I think it was tested to no avail.
