This Building Refuses To Show Ingame
Well it's not like it has a will of its own, but I've gotten other buildings in and this one will not show up in FA.
I got it from a Mooman building pack.
RULESMD
Code:
[CARESC]
UIName=Name:CARESC
Name=Bank Exchange;Tech Research Center
TechLevel=-1
Image=CARESC
Strength=800
BuildCat=Tech
Insignificant=yes
Nominal=yes
Sight=6
Points=5
Armor=concrete
Owner=Americans,Alliance,British,French,Germans,Russians,Confederation,Africans,Arabs,China,Serbia,YuriCountry
EligibileForAllyBuilding=yes ;gs This allows a building of this type to count as a sucess in building placement, but only if that
option is turned on
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
MaxDebris=15
MinDebris=5
DebrisAnims=DBRIS1LG,DBRIS1SM,DBRIS2LG,DBRIS4LG,DBRIS4SM,DBRIS5LG,DBRIS5SM,DBRIS6SM,DBRIS7LG,DBRIS7SM,DBRS10SM
DamageParticleSystems=SmallGreySSys,BigGreySmokeSys
Capturable=yes
CaptureEvaEvent= EVA_TechBuildingCaptured ;Eva (and therefore 3way split) voice to use when captured
NeedsEngineer=yes
ProduceCashStartup=7500 ; credits when captured from the Neutral house
ProduceCashAmount=5 ; Amount every Delay
ProduceCashDelay=100 ; Frame delay between Amounts
Unsellable=yes
LeaveRubble=no
RadarVisible=yes;gs put on radar even if insignificant and unowned (insignificant and owned is a UC building)
BaseNormal=no
Is the building in an ecacheXX.mix or in an expandXX.mix?
NVM, you're modding YR, not RA2; this is irrelevant here.
How can you not see it?
Can't you see it in the Buildings list in FA so it's impossible to place it the easy way or can't you see when it's placed on map?
Code:
[CARESC]
...
Image=CARESC
[CARESC_F]
Image=CARESC_F
You don't need those Image= tags if it'll just point to a section or file with the same name.
If this were [CARESC_FD] then you'd need Image=CARESC_F to point to CARESC_F.shp for the damage frames. _________________ One and only developer of the Command & Conquer Dune "C&C D" mod.

I have it inside expandmd50.mix along with the other buildings that I put into the game.
Since new buildings are moved to the end of the building list, this one doesn't appear there.
I removed Image=CARESC, but it still doesn't appear in the FA building list.
Okay something I just discovered, don't know if this could be it but in the art code it has Buildup=CAARMRMK.
Problem is that there is no CAARMRMK file in the download.
Other buildings in the pack are also missing their MK files. QUICK_EDIT
IIRC there is no MK for those buildings in that pack, as they are just copy & paste work built from other materials already included in the game files. Missing MK only makes building unsellable, it has nothing to do with buildings not showing up. It is FA2 that has trouble dealing with the expansion mixes used, if they do show up in game. QUICK_EDIT
im not an expert in fa2 file paths, but when i make custom assets i slap them into an expandmd mix and fa2 reads them just fine. i use the fa2SP
patch which is featured in this forum somewhere which probably has better file path logic than vanilla fa2. _________________ visit my moddb profile for .shp downloads and stuff QUICK_EDIT
FA2-RA2, FA2-YR, YR require the SHPs to be in an expandmd MIX to be read. _________________ One and only developer of the Command & Conquer Dune "C&C D" mod.
