Need help regarding units...

Chrono Crusade

Hello everyone. I'm adding the unit MARV but i'm having problems adding MARV in. Like I can't even build it (I didn't add the camoe in)

This is my rules.ini:

My art.ini:

; Landship mk 1

Well anyway, can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Oh and yes, I put the voxel files in the root directory...

Why has the art.ini part the same as the rules.ini part? That is all I can notice that is wrong.

For a start you've put all of the rules code in art.ini Rolling Eyes

You need:
[MARV]
Voxel=Yes
Cameo=Whatever you like, use an existing one
Turretoffset=o

Yea what he said, unless its a mistake that it looks like this and you thought you copied the art part when it did not and accidentally pasted the rules code twice... If so post the real art codes

You have to add it in the Vehicletypes list...

That too... Didn't think of that as it's a given normally...

Alright, I've managed to put it in game but the cannon is in the wrong place... Any help?

I didn't know that I had to add vehicles types. Thank You. =)

You mean the shooting animation? The big flash of fire when it attacks? PrimaryFireFLH=XXX,XXX,XXX
FLH=Forward,Lateral, Height.

Play a bit around with the turret offset tag.

@Lt. Albrecht: He means this:

stands all in the PM which i wrote you. Wink

You really have to read the answers which were given you.

I also wrote you, that many RA2/YR keys don't exist in TS, but you're still using the RA2 code.

You can use pieces of codes from existing TS units.

Ya, but also since in Tiberian Sun remember that units can't Garrison stuff... This is only possible in RA2/YR and I'm seeing RA2/YR coding in this.

Alright thank you...

I the rules.ini with the MARV here is the unedited version (I forgot to put in the one edited to TS specs)

and Yes, I meant like the cannon is out of place...

Like the cannon isn't on the circle hole on top of the MARV but moved out of place e.g. too forward...

EDIT: I do read stuff, but I don't know what I'm reading sometimes...

Well, like I said, change the Turret offset number and you'll find it out by trial and error.

Chrono Crusade · Posted: Sun Jan 18, 2009 12:54 am Post subject:

I've changed it... Many times but I don't see a difference...

I've tried:

-150
-930
0
130

... Anything wrong?

Oh and by the way, my turret isn't floating like that War Miner...

take a look on original units
you won't see there any unit having a turretoffset smaller than -64

I'm not sure which data type this key accepts, but i would suggest that you always start with values which lay at least in byte (-128 to 127).

In addition, are you sure you put the TurretOffset key into art.ini?

Yes. I've placed it in the art.ini

However, the name of my file is art

just like rules.ini it's rules

EDIT: Nevermind, I've found the problem...

I didn't add the -bunker only- codes...

Thanks for all the help guys!!!

=)
