my building doesnt apear well ingame. Turns pink ._.

wardeathfun

I attempted to make an ant hole for my Ant faction but it turns pink ingame while white for some reason in snow maps... but thats ok, it seems to work.

Is there a Pallet I have to use to make buildings in SHP editor work? I did not know what pallet to use so i just copied by building over an existing buildings frame since it seemed to show the correct pallet of the structure. :/

Ant hill, most likely using browns? Sounds like you saved it with the TS Unittem.pal which RA2 unittem.pal is all pink where most of the browns are in the TS palette. Try to resave it with the RA2 unittem.pal and see what happens.

I changed the name because of the theater, but as you can see by the pic it shows up. The theater in the map is urban. I just used these rules just to get it to show up. The pal for the piece is unittem

Could be something useful for Crevio's Vietnam Mod as a way into his rat holes.

I forgot to mention this in the post. If you ever find that problem again, try this. Have your shp builder open. Open building....naanthole, then open it again so there are 2 copies open. Change the pal of one of them and the color will distort. go back to the copy that looks fine and copy each frame to the distorted one and then re-save the file. That is how I fixed it.

No one knows since no one has made that many and included them all in a single campaign. Let us know if you hit that limit.
