I'd like to make a quick request for a "Making Cameos" tutorial. I know there's the cheap way of getting a picture of Google Images and editing in OHS SHP Builder...but what I'm asking about are things like this or even these are better examples.

I honestly have zero idea how people make these, and a tutorial on the how doesn't seem to be around on here. It's as locked a secret as the Borale Ragdoll for Garry's Mod.

I suppose I could try making a Tutorial for it.

Are these also a decent example of what you mean?

Use XCC Mixer. And I suggest you read the newbie modding guide. It's around here somewhere.

Use XCC Mixer. Locate language.mix. Open it, and open cameo.mix. The cameo is in there.

EDIT:Clickety.

Hey, this topic is nifty...

Im a noob at modding... so can anyone tell me how to give a tank a Machinegun against infantry? because i've noticed tanks are pretty useless vs infantry and cost like 4-17 times more than them...

I tried giving a rapid fire 20mm from the warminer as a secondary, but does no good.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to modding and mapping so i have a quick question.

How do you add custom text in-game for Red alert 2.
Example: GI: Hello

I'm trying to make a custom map and i want some custom text for it. Thanks for the help.

I want to make a gunship that fires rockets, then switches to machine guns, then back to rockets like the RA3 twinblade. will it work if i set the primary to the rockets and give the rocket launcher ammo and a long reload time? Will it use the secondary machine gun while its reloading the rockets?

No, it will not work, ammo on a unit is shared between all weapons. Only way is to try abuse the Gattling system weapon switching but that does have its own issues.

EEeeehhhh, forget it :L Don't worry about it then.

I'll just have the rapid machine guns only target infantry and rockets target vehicles with a burst value of 4 and a long pause between firing (the rockets).

Herpy Derp. Here i go again: Boy am I a nub at modding!

How do I depress the angle of the Soviet Flak cannon? I want to make a copy with same voxel and shp for an anti-tank gun base defense.

Easy way: Use HVA Editor to rotate it.
Hard way: Use VXL Editor to remodel it in the direction you need.

Out of luck there. The Barrel of the Flak Cannon is made with the barrel tilted. Shouldn't be too hard to make one with the barrel aiming forward though with Voxel Editor. Smile

Noob question #4: How do i get the Mammoth Tusk missile to be inaccurate? I turned the Apoc into the Konig Landkreuzer siege engine, so that it will use the main guns on tanks and buildings while use the missile on infantry but I also want it to appear more like an MLRS, where it covers a large patch of land where targeted it with explosions and not just one square with 6 explosions...

Noob question #5: How to set up stolen Tech options for the Soviets? Give the Soviets a spy -> *stolen tech is same as allied stolen tech*

Noob question #6: Is it possible to get large voxels to NOT intermesh with each other when packed tightly next to each other? if so, how?

And Noob question #7: Do I need Ares or NPatch for tank drops?

4) Make a New Projectile then add "Inaccurate=yes" to the Projectile. Use this projectile for the Mammoth Tusk Missile Weapon. Optionally you can add in FlakScatter=yes as well to make it more ... inaccurate. Laughing

5) For Unmodded add RequiresStolenSovietTech=yes on the unit in question to make it so you require infiltration of Soviet Labs. Ares expands on this in detail. Refer to it's Manual.

6) Nope nothing you can do there...

7) Yes. Ares preferrably.

Try adding FlakScatter to it then. And also you have Burst=3 obviously one of the shots WILL get a hit in.

For the explosion: I assume you need a new animation for the explosion.


Assaulter: I think so, Tanya uses it in Mental Omega I think. Either that or it's some other tag.

How do i code the explosion? I have an SHP animation (via AtomicNoodles) but any idea what i should code for it or where it goes?

Also, curious if mobile iron curtain generator works.

Make sure the Infantry's Primary weapon has Assaulter=yes & AssaultAnim on the Weapon. The Infantry in question will now be able to clear garrisoned buildings by approaching it much like C4 does.

Add the New Explosion in the Animations List

Then on the Warhead of the weapon that you want to have blue explosions add the new animation to their AnimList.

Mobile Iron Curtain Generator as in a VehicleType that has a deploy weapon which creates a Iron Curtain Effect? Check the Ares Codes. Its there but basically you make a AreaFire/Suicide Weapon that uses the Ares IronCurtain Tags. Add Damage to the weapon if you optionally want to slowly kill your Generator.

Alright, now,

1)Which setting on SHP builder should I use to convert a png into a loadscreen?

2)Are ZH voices compatible with YR right off the bat?

3)Where can I download string editor? Need to add units without a missing name.

1.) You will need a palette before you can make the PNG a SHP. And at that point, you might as well use XCC mixer. There are a couple of ways to make a palette. You can use Paint.NET or Irfanview (my preferred way).

2.) I believe so, they just need to go in an the audio.bag (extracted from the Langmd.mix) unless you're using Ares.

3.) After you've extracted the CSF String Table from the langmd.mix you can use the XCC String Table Editor (XCC Mixer > Launch > XCC String Table Editor) or use the third party program RA2StrEdit which is available on YR Argentina and my personal favorite.

So I made my .PAL, what's next?

Considering your lack of figuring out things on your own, I wouldn't do that in the 1) way.

Take this instead, throw in the PNG, make shp and pal via this.

Sadly, I've tried that before I posted anything about the loadscreens here. It still gives a mess of colours. The one I'm trying to do is the soviet loadscreen by lefthand on YrArg.

Well then grab the pal you got, and copy it to SHP Builder's Palettes/User dir and then it'll be visible on the list of available pals on SHPBuilder's Import's second page.

2) Not quite so sometimes...

Sometimes when you extract them they may end up in a different bit rate so might wanna check out if its in the right bit rate. If its just voices/sound effects make sure its 16-bit PCM

All ZH voices are in mono 22 kHz PCM within the big.

Yes, whoever made that was an idiot, they could've use IMA at least.

1) The way I want to see it is the Apoc fires its main guns, then fires the Mammy Tusks, then back to its main guns. I have the Cyclic Gattling Ares, so it can loop.

The problem is it wont even engage the gattling cycle. It works like the vanilla Apoc. Here's the code I have:

Code:

; Mammoth tank
[APOC]
UIName=Name:APOC
Name=Apocalypse
Image=MTNK
Category=AFV
Primary=120mmx
Secondary=MammothTusk

;-----Gattling stuff-------
;GEF There is a _lot_ of stuff in this section, hope it's worth it

;Do I have a gattling gun or not
IsGattling=yes

;How weapons does it have? Currently, all Gattling Units have had anti-air
;capability, so the mechanics currently depends on having twice the number
;of stages in weapons, alternating anti-ground first, and anti-air second.
TurretCount=1
WeaponCount=6

Weapon1=120mmx
EliteWeapon1=120mmxE
Weapon2=MammothTusk
EliteWeapon2=MammothTusk
Weapon3=120mmx
EliteWeapon3=120mmxE
Weapon4=MammothTusk
EliteWeapon4=MammothTusk
Weapon5=120mmx
EliteWeapon5=120mmxE
Weapon6=MammothTusk
EliteWeapon6=MammothTusk

;How many stages does this gattling gun have, and how long does it
;take to progress through these stages;
WeaponStages=3
Stage1=200
Stage2=100
;This last stage is used to determine what the maximum fireing timer can be. Once it
;hits this it will stop increasing. If this is larger than the previous stage, then
;it will have a grace period once the unit stops firing before it needs to drop
;down to the lower weapon.
Stage3=200

EliteStage1=150
EliteStage2=100
EliteStage3=150

;How many increments or decrements does the timer get per frame?
;If RateDown is zero, then it overrides the previous stage vaules,
;causing the tank to instantly go to zero when it stops firing
;if it can't find a new target
RateUp=1
RateDown=50
Gattling.Cycle=yes

;-----End Gattling stuff-------

TargetLaser=yes
Strength=1000
Explodes=yes
Prerequisite=NAWEAP,NATECH
CrateGoodie=yes
Armor=heavy
Turret=yes
TechLevel=7
Sight=6
Speed=4
Owner=Russians,Confederation,Africans,Arabs
Cost=1750
Soylent=1750
Points=60
ROT=5
Crusher=yes
SelfHealing=yes

Maxdebris=3
Locomotor={4A582741-9839-11d1-B709-00A024DDAFD1}
Weight=3.5
MovementZone=Destroyer
ThreatPosed=40   ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons
DamageParticleSystems=SparkSys,SmallGreySSys
AllowedToStartInMultiplayer=no
ZFudgeColumn=9
ZFudgeTunnel=15
Size=6
VeteranAbilities=STRONGER,FIREPOWER,ROF,SIGHT,FASTER
EliteAbilities=SELF_HEAL,STRONGER,FIREPOWER,ROF
ElitePrimary=120mmxE
BuildTimeMultiplier=1.0


2) I also seem to have a problem with DU shells. Whenever I assign Radation = yes and RadLevel= *insert number here* the game crashes when I test it.

3) Finally, how does grand cannon recoil logic work?

1) Are you sure its just the Weapon Stages being too long?

2) Radiation must be set to how max it is specified in the Radiation Controls. (By Default its 500) Going above your set one will crash the game.

3) Read the TurretX Flags in the GrandCannon's Entry in Rules

RateUp=1 try setting that higher and see if it hits next stages.

1. RadLevel= Must be equal to or higher then 100 but no more then 500 or whats specified by RadLevelMax=500 ; Maximum radiation allowable in a cell. The cell can actually have more radiation
.

2. It's controlled with these Building tags.

ROT=1
Turret=yes
TurretAnim=GTGCANTUR
TurretAnimIsVoxel=true
TurretAnimX=3
TurretAnimY=28
TurretAnimZAdjust=-60
TurretRecoil=yes
TurretTravel=0
BarrelTravel=8
BarrelCompressFrames=3
BarrelHoldFrames=3
BarrelRecoverFrames=40
TurretRotateSound=GrandCannonRotate

As for how the art works, ask another modder.

I made the stage 50 and rate up to 50 and tested it out but still nothing.
