Trouble getting a unit to be built.
Basically, I cloned the American humvee, and then cloned the construct button for it. So on the warfactory, in the number ten slot, the icon shows up, but it is in black and white and it wont let me build it. I tried this for the cloned humvee on both the warfactory and the command center, and after failing to make it work, I tried adding the normal build humvee command to the warfact ten slot and the command center., and all four attempts resulted in the blacked and whited out icon that wont let me build. Is there something I missed? _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
I also noticed that renegade models and generals models are in the same file format. Can I have cross overs? _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
I really feel like moving on from yuri's revenge, and I think generals is a solid place to begin, though TW may be too complicated. I'm just looking for some models so I don't have like 50 variations of "the humvee" in my setup mod. I googled "generals w3d models", and I found a 92 page thread with like "omg, double barreled crusaderz!" followed by the next post "o yeah, tripled barreled!".
I wish there was OS W3d maker. (and not some crack to 3dsmax). The "w3d viewer" from the mod sdk was an insult. I guess for now I'll read some tuts and see how many different types of hummer I can make. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

Generals ain't that bad, only the build system sucks
Anyways, care to share the changed files DaFool? Maybe we can help better then, because I'm thinking you forgot to change some files... QUICK_EDIT
below are the entries I edited, the attachment has all the files I changed (except for the .csf, but thats just for names)

Odd... I can't see any errors or missing things atm...
What also puzzels me, is why the game doesn't give any error message. If it ain't working, it should give an error. Have you tried running WB? If there is something wrong, it will give an error message (it's like a de-bugger) QUICK_EDIT
ok, I tried again, and I can get the normal humvee to be built at the command center, and have two icons show up at the war fatory which allow the humvee to be built (the same original humvee, not my "hcloned").
Big EDIT: I figured out what I did wrong. The file that my INIs were in was ZH/DATA/INI-File when it was suppose to be ZH/DATA/INI/ONJECT. All is well in the universe now. (laughing smiling)
For the time being, I am going to give up on vehicles and try my hand at infantry and buildings. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
