giving ivan a new weapon

Nikademis Von Hisson

Is it possible to give Crazy Ivan a gun, I tried to moving his bomb to secondary and giving him a gun, but when he is attacked the game crashes.

Try setting Ivan=no on his entry and setting his bomb to only attach to structures. I have multiple weapons on my Ivan and he works fine but I followed the above two steps.

Here are my rules for my version of crazy ivan. He will be a sniper/bomber for a Campaign that will be developed in the future. I want to use his rules because he can set a bomb on a oil derrick and get away easier unlike the seal. He shoots fine but he does not set bombs. I fixed him from making the game crash, he was missing a weapon

So you want him to be ivan with a gun, and to bomb buildings?

I suggest changing the Warheads.

It would also be helpful if you post your weapon codes...

Beowulf · Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2008 1:11 am Post subject:

IvanWH should be set to only affect buildings. At least that's what I did and it works fine.

I made his primary weapon the sniper rifle and secondary weapon the Ivan bomb.

Beowulf · Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2008 6:47 am Post subject:

Post your weapon code. If he's not planting bombs, it's likely tied to his weapons.

Also, my secondary is the Ivan bomb as well so it's not that.

Your sniper warhead needs 0% vs buildtypes armour

This is my new units rules, primary weapon secondary weapons. The sniper rifle was just copied and name changed as well as the weapons range for Polish and Lithuania Snipers use. But only the Lithuanian Sniper has the Ivan bomb. The warheads for each are already in the game they are the original

[HollowPoint] by default has 1% on vehicles and buildings. Set it to 0%.

so you suggest creating a new warhead?

MT · Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2008 12:07 am Post subject:

Yes.

Just copy HollowPoint, give it a new name and change the warhead verses to 0% against the building's armour types. This will work fine for a new WH.

Nikademis Von Hisson · Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2008 1:04 am Post subject: hollowpoint

where can i find which # means what? I can't find it.

is this it? w s c are buildings

Foo] ; n , f , p , l , m , h , w , s , c , 1 , 2
Verses=10%,15%,20%,30%,35%,40%,50%,55%,60%,70%,90%

MT · Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2008 1:15 am Post subject:

I'll use letters to represent the %s (IE: a2 is what the weapon does against the flak armour type)

[YourWHname]
Verses=a1,a2,a3,b1,b2,b3,c1,c2,c3,d1,d2
;and other codes

the a kind would be the infantry armour types,
the b kind would be the vehicle armour types,
the c kind would be the building armour types,
the d kind would be special armour types.

Change the three values 7-9 (the c kind) to 0% each, which will not allow you to attack them, forcing the guy to use the other weapon against against buildings.

If I haven't explained well enough, use Modenc.

thanks, figured that when i saw that. took me a bit to find it

when i saved it and ran the game, the game gives a cant load scenario

i did use modenc, i didn't find my info on wardhead, but versus

Very strange Confused

. Its not related to your unit WH at all though; a WH bug is way too minor to stop the whole game from loading...

Nikademis Von Hisson · Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2008 2:03 am Post subject: ivan issue

GreyBush is a Lithuanian sniper that has a sniper weapon and Ivan bomb. When I start a game with Poland the game works. He is able to be built by Poland as a test, but he shots buildings, not blow them up. When I use Lithuania the game crashes. Others say they given Ivan a gun, guess mine wasn't

If you load an old save with new rules, it won't load. Start a new game.

I am testing him out in Skirmish mode. I started a new skirmish game with Lithuania and the game says can not load the scenario, but when I load Poland ( who has the ability to make the new unit) on the same map it works except the fact that he shoots the building instead of blowing it up.
