Adamstrange's Modding Questions ?
I have enabled the second Nod factory and from what I see about is that it cost more and does not give you a Harvester.
How do I set this building so that when built it gives you 2 or 3 Harvesters ? Last edited by adamstrange on Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:43 am; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
1. there is no adv. Nod Factory. No clue which building you mean. Tell the ID of the building e.g. [NAWEAP] if you don't know the correct name, which stands behing Name= btw.
2. it is entirely impossible to let one building give more than one FreeUnit
You can also continue one of your dozen other topics with only 1 or 2 posts. For such small questions it is not necessary to create a new topic each time.
One topic with "adam's strange modding questions" would be enough _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

Ofc it is invisible. There doesn't exist a .shp /.vxl with the name NHARVA.
Just give it
IMAGE=NHARV
in the rules.ini and all should be fine. (as in, it will use the same art.ini entry as the original harv) _________________

Droppod superweapon takes hardcoded infantry values of E1 and E2 from game.exe (Game.dat in case of TI).
Search for ChemLauncher in the exe/dat file, E2 and E1 entries are there a few bytes away. Those entries can
be replaced too. Because of hardcoding, ownership becomes irrelevant in this case. QUICK_EDIT
DPREFN is no adv. factory and also no second refinery. It's the deployed refinery. (you know a ref can be undeployed after being build, to then move mobile around and deploy again)
This was made so only the first build refinery gives a harvester.
If now the refinery undeploys and deploys again, it deploys into DPREFN, which doesn't give a FreeUnit.
NAREFN->undeploy->MOREFN->deploy->DPREFN
NAREFN is build as building from sidemenu
MOREFN is the mobile refinery unit
DPREFN the refinery when deployed again.
If it would deploy into the original refinery again, people could abuse this to constantly deploy/undeploy the refinery to get harvester for free each time. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

DrodShip Carryall ?
I enabled the Drop Ship to be built and added the CarryAll=yes code to it so that it can carry both troops and units but when I try to assign units to it, it won't accept them, just the troops. QUICK_EDIT
TS engine has no internal vehicle transport logic
Carryall means, you select the aircraft, then click on a vehicle. The aircraft will land on top of the vehicle and attach it under its body. Then "carry" the vehicle under its body around till it lands again. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

Bug Factory ?
Since Globotech is not a playable faction unless certain buildings are captured, I started to add certain units from their arsenal to both sides and make them buildable.
While doing this I then gave the Nod the ability to build the Scarab, Tremor and Mantis units from the mutant factory and named it the Inzect Lab.
But what happens is other units can also be built from this lab like tanks.
Is there a way to set up this factory so that only the bugs are built here and set up the same way as the barracks so that I can built ground units from the war factory, soldiers from the barracks and bugs from the bug lab at the same time since the game already does this with troops and ground units as well as air units at the same time ? QUICK_EDIT
Look at the Cyborgs. They are done the same way. _________________
So, yeah, I've created a new acc. 'cause no one could remember Ordosherrscher - and I didn't like that name anyway. QUICK_EDIT
The game is not showing me the factory but I will try to figure it out and if in the next 2 or 3 days I can't find a solution then I will ask you for help.
Will there ever be an update to TI so that the Nod will have a MCV that matches the look of their side as well as their own Service Bay ? QUICK_EDIT
Side specific MCVs and Conyards will probably come when BuildConst and BaseUnit are made for more than one side probably, supposedly the former was already fixed to some degree by Hyper but I haven't heard anything since and BaseUnit still only takes 1 unit. At least that's what I figure anyhow.
The Nod Service depot will probably come in due time whenever the team gets it made.
As for a visceroid mutator, look at how the infector is set up. QUICK_EDIT

I know you've played DTA, so you should already know that there's no need to wait for that (and it's probably also pointless to do so).
The voxelers/3D modellers just need time to create them and Aro needs to find the time to implement all necessary coding work-arounds to get the separate MCVs/ConYards working. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
there are several ways
-use rules.ini voxel debris with IsTiberium=true like METEOR02 and use it on the units DebrisTypes= key
-use tiberium spawning art.ini debris as traileranim on a custom explosion anim
-give it TiberiumHeal=yes in rules.ini
-play around with the keys and find another/different technique _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
It's not the damage of the weapon that mutates infantry,
but the damage done by the particle system on the warhead.
Look at the comments.
When you set Damage=0, the warhead is not used at all.
You have to set at least 1, so the particlesystem and the random mutation damage done via the animation are done.

duplicate MutateSys and raise the damage on this duplicate to raise mutation damage. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
What I don't understand is that it sez do always 25 points of mutation damage but where do you find the setting to give the MutateSys more damage points ? QUICK_EDIT
Oh boy, are we glad you are not actual TI developer as you make simplest things hard by simply not looking enough into the coding before you fire up the almighty question line up.
Hint, look at the sub particle to find damage and don't make us spell it out for you literally plz. QUICK_EDIT
I did a search for sub particle in the ART & RULES but there is nothing found.
I did try make a new particle MutateVirusSys.
[MutateWH500]
Spread=150
Verses=100%,5%,5%,5%,0%
InfDeath=1
Particle=MutateVirusSys ;do always 75 points of mutation damage
AnimList=MUTIN500 ;0-375 random points of mutation damage
ProneDamage=50%
And put this in the art.ini but it still not work.
;spawns creates 0-30 debris with each debris doing a small amount of mutation dmaage
[MUTIN500]
Image=INVISO
Elasticity=0.0
MaxXYVel=1.0

LoopEnd=1
LoopCount=-1

;this one does the mutation damage via the warhead which creates for this the particlesystem with gas damage

MutateSys is a ParticleSystem and stands in rules.ini. ctrl+f and searching for "MutateSys" helps.
MUTIN300 is an animation and stands in art.ini (Animation != ParticleSystem)
This animation is using the MutateWH, which in turn uses MutateSys.
Simply writing Particle=MutateVirusSys and then having nowhere the ParticleSystem MutateVirusSys defined, can't work.
If you would have read the comments, you would've also noticed that using the MUTIN300 animation is not necessary at all.
-the PS does 25 Mutation damage
-anim adds random amount 0-375 Mutation damage (see the random factor. you don't want random, then don't use this)
So if this is too complicated for you, you should first start with something simple like the also included MutationWH.
See, no animation, but still doing 25 mutation damage.
clone it, and change the damage. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Because they are not killed by the mutation damage on the PS, but from your 55 damage on the weapon.
Do the math.
-85 hitpoints on a basic infantry
-55 damage by the weapon done, then 25 by the PS
-infantry down to 5 hitpoints after 1 shot
-next shot another 55 damage by the weapon, which kills the infantry. the 25 mutation damage can't kill it, thus no visceroid.
Everything to make this work was explained to you. Now use the knowledge. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
