New Missile Launcher
Alright, here's the thing... I got the Nova Platform downloaded from YR Argentina and the voxels work and all but when the thing fires, the missile won't even move. Not only that, it will only face one direction.
--This is being done with RP 1.10

V4RocketPitchFinal=1 ; Ending pitch of the rocket after tilting up; now it fires
V4RocketTurnRate=0.05 ; Pitch maneuverability of rocket in air. Adjust by trial and error.
V4RocketRaiseRate=1 ;GEF How much the missile will raise each turn on the launcher (for Cruise Missile only)

V4RocketAltitude=768 ; Cruising altitude in leptons: at this height rocket BEGINS leveling off

Well, then does anyone have any suggestions or do I have to take out the V3 rocket in order to support this new unit?
PS I've tried the IsCustomMissile= tag and it hasn't worked... _________________ The best part about procrastination is that you are never bored, because you have all kinds of things that you should be doing. QUICK_EDIT

I suggest re-checking your code and looking trough some tutorials supplied with the RP... I also use RP, but an earlier version, and I haven't added any new missiles, so I can't help you more

Don't use RP use the newest version of VK's work NP.
pd stop working on RP1 since 1.08
stop posting the same shit about the patch not working
And here's what ModEnc has to say...
ModEnc wrote:
VK continued hacking the exe with his new "NPatch" project, a thinly-veiled continuation of RockPatch (using 1.10 as its basis), but as his style of work didn't change, the community mostly followed him out of necessity (him being the only exe hacker around) rather than enthusiasm.
Same base, same bugs. Turns out there really isn't much difference at all between RockPatch and NPatch. _________________ The best part about procrastination is that you are never bored, because you have all kinds of things that you should be doing. QUICK_EDIT

you are wrong. Here is one diffrence, in NPatch can you play online, not in RP10, only in RPCE but that one dont have many features.
I don't really care for online play, I do this for fun in my spare time. _________________ The best part about procrastination is that you are never bored, because you have all kinds of things that you should be doing. QUICK_EDIT
What we are trying to get at here is, RP 1.10 is incredibly unstable which is one reason VK didn't want anyone using it after it came out. So you are much better off using the newest NPatch version which has much of these bugs you are finding, fixed.
(I think if this keeps up we're gonna need a RP subdivision like Renproj) _________________ "Don't beg for things; Do it yourself or you'll never get anything." QUICK_EDIT

to be fair, i tried Npatch. and i always get an IE when running the Npatch right before the load screen (the button that starts the game, then screen goes black with a big white block of IE) but when i installed Rockpatch CE.... LOL. my game is now fine. the only thing i hate about CE is that terrible thousand unit bug. so it goes to show all ece hacks are far from perfect. so lets remain on topic.

First things first, Im patiently waiting on RP2 by pd.
Secondly, V4 in the code? I coulda sworn it was V3 for all that. Thus if it is V3 either the game is having some nasty ass background errors or more likely, the code is not getting parsed thus no calculations/effects.
In English, a simple typo may be causing all your problems. QUICK_EDIT

I didn't delete the old V3 codes. This is a new missile, thus requiring new missile handlers, am I right? _________________ The best part about procrastination is that you are never bored, because you have all kinds of things that you should be doing. QUICK_EDIT
I really doubt VK in post 1.08 RP editions and NPatch was that forseeing and predefined a bunch of new named missile code. He just allowed there to be more than exists.
So the V3 handlers were exactly what you needed. Try it with originals and see what happens. QUICK_EDIT
IsCustomMissile=yes ;this tells the game that this AircraftType is a custom missile type
Tried that.. Still won't work :/ _________________ The best part about procrastination is that you are never bored, because you have all kinds of things that you should be doing. QUICK_EDIT
Did you actually just replace the missile graphics? Or did you actually create the new [yourentryhere] in both Rules(md).ini and art(md).ini?
Cuz if you replaced the graphics only, then what I said holds true. If not, then you need to define the missile code per the (shoddy) documentation of doing so in RP or NPatch on ModEnc.
So ultimately the question remains, what did you actually do to create this missile? QUICK_EDIT
