Upgrade SHP

tekka warrior · Posted: Mon Feb 03, 2014 7:44 pm Post subject: Upgrade SHP

Hello.

I added an upgrade to the soviet tesla reactor.I made an shp for this upgrade.

The name of the upgrade is:NAPOWRU

It's Art section is as follows:

[NAPOWRU]
Cameo=UPICON
ActiveAnim=NAPOWRU_A
Foundation=1X1

[NAPOWRU_A]
Name=Soviet Power Plant Upgraded
Image=NAPOWRU_A
Normalized=yes
CustomPalette=power.pal ;In ARES
NewTheater=yes
Layer=ground
Start=0
LoopStart=0
LoopEnd=17
LoopCount=-1
Rate=400
DetailLevel=2
DoubleThick=true

I put the shp in my ecache45md.mix, but ingame when i upgrade the reactor the animation stays the same.

Yes, NAPOWRU_A, is added to the animations list in rulesmd.ini.

Any help with this?

Thanks alot.

P.S:I did use ares when i tested this.And the custom pallete is in the ecache mix.

Code is wrong. The upgrade cant have activeanims.
Check how upgrades in TS work and then apply the same logic.
It's basically that the upgrade is directly NAPOWRU_A and no intermediate NAPOWRU

Upgrades can be active anims the only broken thing is they do not obey damage stages at all.

I don't know about RA2, but in TS upgrades themselves are the activeanim. They can't have an activeanim on their own, because they are no real building.

And of course do they obey damage stages. For that you have the key PowerUp1DamagedAnim.

rules.ini

Code:

[BuildingTypes]
004=GAPOWR
045=GAPOWRUP

[GAPOWR]
Upgrades=2
;the rest are just the usual building keys

[GAPOWRUP]
Name=Power Turbine
Prerequisite=GAPOWR
Image=GAPOWR_B ;see here, it is the anim itself, not some other building
TechLevel=7
Armor=wood
Sight=1
Owner=GDI
Cost=100
Points=30
Power=50
Crewed=no
Capturable=no
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
PowersUpBuilding=gapowr
PowersUpToLevel=-1
ThreatPosed=0 ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons

art.ini

Code:

[GAPOWR]
Normalized=yes
Remapable=yes
Cameo=POWRICON
Foundation=2x2
Buildup=GAPOWRMK
DemandLoadBuildup=true
FreeBuildup=true
NewTheater=yes
Height=2
PowerUp1Anim=GAPOWR_B
;PowerUp1DamagedAnim ;original TS PP has no damage version for the upgrade, but here it would go if you have one
PowerUp1LocXX=-24
PowerUp1LocYY=13
PowerUp1LocZZ=-17
PowerUp1YSort=-5

;the upgrade is the animation itself. It only has an additional cameo key, else it's coded like any ordinary activeanim
[GAPOWR_B]
Cameo=TURBICON
NewTheater=yes
Normalized=yes
Surface=yes
LoopEnd=12
LoopCount=-1
Rate=220

PowerUpXAnimDamaged Tags don't work in RA2/YR as far as i can tell from testing and from what I heard from other modders.
