Help, various questions
Subject description: Cabal's advanced structures, tiberium trees, ion storms
I'm new to editing, and couldn't figure these out any further:
1. I can build the cabal structures such as the aa laser, cabal ground laser, and core defender. (a) How do you get a pic of each in the build window(as opposed to the generic gray plate with just the name) and (b) how do you sell the buildings?
2. In TD, regular trees were transformed into tiberium if in contact long enough, can the same be done in TS and/or FS?
3. How can you make an ion storm appear without doing any damage at all? I've changed the damage value to 0 in .ini file and even changed the warhead it uses to do 0 damage, yet it still damages (for 1 block of health) my buildings after testing it out.
A preemptive thank you for all your help. QUICK_EDIT

add to ART.INI tag
Code:
Cameo=[File name without .SHP]
You must specify good shp image _________________ ARM forever - x86 sucks QUICK_EDIT

1b. You must have the entry Sellable=yes in your rules.ini.
2. They werent regular trees. They were blossom trees from the beginning, that had an animation where a tree is transforming in to Tiberium tree. No, I don't think it's possible.
3. The damage is not always controlled by the damge - entry in the weapon, sometimes it depends of the debris of the weapon. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Yes! I've appropriated the obelisk image for the cameo and the buildup, the latter being a bit lame but workable. I'm now able to sell and at least see an icon in my build screen. Alas, 'Sellable=yes' did nothing. All I have to do now is figure out how to do shp files and new units. QUICK_EDIT

I assume you adding CABAL for a third side? I'd be glad to help you make voxels for the faction. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
Im not really sure as I didn't test it. But if you want the Ion Storm to make no damage, just edit rules.ini the following way:
Quote:
;
IonLightningFrequency=0 ; Percent chance that lightning will strike
IonLightningRandomness=100 ; Percent chance that the lightning will strike a random cell instead of an object - therefore will never strike an object
IonLightningDamage=0 ; Damage done by lightning strike.
IonStormDuration=120
IonStormWarning=31
IonStorms=no ; random ion storms, yes or no.
IonStormWarhead=IonWH
That's just in theory, but if you put this specs the lightning isn't supposed to strike at all, and no damage will be caused. QUICK_EDIT
Nope, still no cookie
; Ion storm control(rules.ini)
IonLightningFrequency=0 ; Percent chance that lightning will strike this frame
IonLightningRandomness=100 ; Percent chance that the lightning will strike a random cell instead of an object.
IonLightningDamage=0 ; Damage done by lightning strike.
IonStormDuration=120 ; Default ion storm duration in deconds. This is overriden by the trigger control.
IonStormWarning=31 ; Warning time in seconds before an Ion Storm hits.
IonStorms=no ; Are random ion storms going to appear?
IonStormWarhead=IonWH ; Warhead used by ion storm strike.
I want the lightning storm without it's ability to damage anything, and yet it still does, even for a max 1 block of health. (repairing a myriad buildings after each storm is rather annoying; and yes, I love to have an array of power plants) And sorry guys, no voxels/mods yet, I'm still new to all this. :] QUICK_EDIT
