Huh???? WTF, how can this happen????
Today I was busy with the CZ overlay for Firestorm Allout and the game made one voxel look like shit the whole time. So I changed the art entry and tested it again in Skirmish. I put the unit count in the setting menu on 10 and look what I got... remember the tanks with turrets were wolverines and the humvee's were Hover MRLS. Just to quickly look what's wrong. Does somebody know how this could possibly be happening????

So it isn't because of the setting set in the Skirmish menu. QUICK_EDIT
In fact, "number of starting units" determines what sum you get to spend on the units, and you can get much more than you set, depending on the cost.
"Number of starting units" * standard unit's cost [i assume it's something about 1000] = total starting units cost. It is then shared on those allowedtostart=yes units. Since your units are $5 each, you'll get a hell lot of them QUICK_EDIT

OMG I love that screenshot, If you don't mind, I"m going to post it up as the POTW at C&C Central for next week! _________________ Formerly active PPM modder (maps, voxels, sprites) and Webmaster of C&C Central in the early 2000's on the Origin/Revora network. QUICK_EDIT
finalmoon don't it is obvious now and even I found it out myself seeing this _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
I must be brain dead. How is this situation relevant to making the MCV work for new sides? Or is Banshee's MCV fix not what I had thought it was? QUICK_EDIT
Hehe, now even I see the MCV fix... never thought it was this simple. I thought it was much more complicated. Owh, and The_kid, I don't mind post it where ever you want. QUICK_EDIT
Actually it's not this simple, this is only a TINY part of it. I still don't know the whole thing. But I do now know that Banshee is a genious. =P _________________ Over and out,

I ment to say that I thought that you had to make like new entry's in the Rules.ini the voxels in sertain Mix's like side dependant mixes. Then based on that create some entry's etc etc... So I guess I thought that is much harder than it in reality is, but I agree with you. Banshee is some friggin smart guy. QUICK_EDIT
I knew it would be a matter of days before more people caught on to this bansh there has been a couple different topics around the community that have been getting lcoser to peices of the puzzle. I want to see how this turns out for our excited modders hopefully they dont get too cocky QUICK_EDIT

what do you mean by 'partially'? We have made so many researchs on this and in many of them it worked 'partially', but never 'fully' as we need... although we have recently brainstormed a great solution for that (also top secret, although it's ridiculous ) QUICK_EDIT
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who got his head stuck in a bucket...
And the whole time he tried,
To find the 3rd side AI,
All he could think of was "ztype it!" _________________ Over and out,
