Tiberian Sun mod map - using unused art...?

Amada · Civilian **Joined**: 04 Apr 2004

I know with Red Alert 2, you don't need an art.ini entry in order to display a voxel. I've tried to repeat this in Tiberian Sun in order to get ftnk.vxl, 1tnk.vxl, 2tnk.vxl, 3tnk.vxl and jeep.vxl (the TS humvee) to appear, but the most I've gotten is the humvee's turret. In Red Alert 2 this works rather easily, and I'm assuming they just don't work, but if anyone here has any idea of how to get around that, please help. I've never really done mod maps for Tiberian Sun before, but I'm really hoping to find a way to get this to work.

The entry method I use is as follows:
"Image=jeep" ... I've also tried "Image=JEEP" and "Image=jeep.vxl"

Again, this is for a MOD MAP, so art.ini entries are not possible.

well yeah, you have to have an art.ini for it to work. so make your art.ini for the unused art. then just do what you were doing, pluging it in to some toher stuff.

Is it possible to do it without making an art entry, though? It is in Red Alert 2.

open the map in a text editor(notepad works fine, for example.), pick the unit you want to change's image, this is JUST AN EXAMPLE, you CAN create other units, but here's a simple example...

[TTNK]IMAGE=1TNK

Done. Tick Tank now uses the image of an M2 bradley.
