First the random screenshots thread and now the random questions #Tongue

Green Building
Was this meant to be GDI's version of pavement or something

RPG addon
Doesnt use its recoil anim, any way to enable it

Green LAT
Should this really be allowborrowing=true

Isn't the greenbuilding grass? If so then i doubt it was meant to be pavement.

SMIFFGIG · Posted: Sun May 25, 2003 7:11 pm Post subject:

yes but it has all the attributes to be built by GDI and it doesnt allow subterranean submergance

hmmm.......maybe then, does it appear in any of the missions? It might be mission specific.

SMIFFGIG · Posted: Sun May 25, 2003 7:51 pm Post subject:

no all it is is TooTile= and its the green lat

its not used in missions but is present on i would say every temperate map as a terrain type

heres the odd code that accompanies it

Code:

; green lat (not used)
[GAGREEN]
Name=Green Building
Image=null
Strength=150
Prerequisite=GAPILE
High=yes
Armor=concrete
TechLevel=-1
Adjacent=3
Sight=0
Selectable=no

Owner=GDI,Nod
Cost=100
BaseNormal=no
Points=5
Repairable=false
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
ThreatPosed=0 ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons
ToTile=Green01

Answer to your second question: the recoilanim is only avalable on voxel turrets.

SMIFFGIG · Posted: Mon May 26, 2003 12:17 pm Post subject:

well the RPG turret is SHP

and has a special set of frames just for recoil anim. I know recoil is typically only on voxels but this is either a feature that WW didnt develope yet made the graphics (like 3rd damage stage) or theres still a way to get it working

Did you try to add the recoil stuff in art.ini? if so, and it still doesn't work, then probably WW didn't enable it...

SMIFFGIG · Posted: Mon May 26, 2003 3:13 pm Post subject:

recoil stuff ?

ok im answering my own questions here but i think cellsel.shp could possibly be from the official Westwood map maker, look at this screenshot

See the little graphic, exactly like in the cellsel.shp

but its only a guess, i do know however that is the official WW map editor which is interesting

Westwood doesn't have an official map maker for TS...

SMIFFGIG · Posted: Wed May 28, 2003 2:06 am Post subject:

sorry i didnt mean released

internally they had a map maker, obviously to make all the mission and skirmish maps

i didnt mean a released public version Wink

Is that scrin ship the same one as in the game? It looks like it's in better condition... as in... not wrecked.

If so, that screenshot could help a lot in restoring it.... if anyone wanted to...

my gawd

.... after years of playing TS and only now did I realise that the Scrin ship is shaped that way, the whole ship is just that..lol.. And I thought in one of those missions I played that was only some parts of the ship... Confused

Yeah I just mean the obvious stuff in art.ini... search for recoil in the comments at the top of the original art.ini...

SMIFFGIG · Posted: Wed May 28, 2003 10:22 pm Post subject:

all i get is
Recoilless = Does the building NOT have recoil anim even though it might have a turret

anyway ill look into it

Ok, I got my own random question. You know the bug that when you make a unit deployable and buildlimit=1, you can build more of him after he deploys? Well, I came up with a fix for that, but I just realized, an even better fix is to just download the latest patch. It makes the problem go away. How is this? And more importantly, why?

2.03 ?

doesnt fix it with me

and i dont know why it would as by default there is no units in TS that are BuildLimit=1
and are deployers :S

so they would be fixing a bug, which doesnt actually effect the game in anyway (there version)

I have a question that retains to the RPG I've notice (not sure if it's been fixed) that the RPG will shoot from the side instead of it's barrel.

Hellfire that is so strange

i only recently noticed this and thought that SeaMan had caused it Oops!

at first

anyway it wasnt him, and the fault doesnt always occur, just sometimes (unless its been fixed in retro by accident)

anyway im looking into it thats for sure

_________________

hellfire · Commander **Joined**: 09 Jan 2003 **Location**: Canada

oh I've never actually seen one shoot from the right direction but if you fix it please fill me in.

so until proven otherwise i say he has lol

anyway as i said ill look into it more

so it wasnt just me

thanks, i didnt want to say it as it sounded kinda dumb and could have been coincidence

but that has narrowed it down alot

Yeah, this is one of those stupid WW faults... sometimes it shoots with the right direction (like it's comming out of the holes) and sometimes it doesn't...

-Well now i hope this doesn't sound too much like something else Wink

FireStorm · Stealth Laser Trooper **Joined**: 30 Dec 2002

lol...holes...

And weirdly I've never seen my RPG shoot from the right direction on snow maps b4! Shocked

My goodness I found whats causing the error.. on GACTWR_C.shp (RPG tower SHP) it has different frames facing than the one on GTCTWR_C.shp...
take a look yourself..

SMIFFGIG · Posted: Fri May 30, 2003 12:26 pm Post subject:

Remember the mobile sensor for the nod, it was made with the gdi colour a a very little of remappable color,

but the mamouth tank (heavy tank) have on all his vxl, remappable color, i think you should add grey color for the metal, and a little remappable color, like normal units ...

check with smiffgig screen:

i think it will be better than Smile

i know that even in the C&C Dawn and ra1 he had already remappable color all on the vxl, but i think it sucks like that

SMIFFGIG · Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2003 12:32 pm Post subject:

FS is already on the case Wink

heh..

BTW here's what I've currently did for the Mammoth Tank, IMO it still needs a lot of touching up and adding details, I think I might as well do a new chassis for it, if only I have a good Mammoth Render, kinda like ingame pic of the mammoth from renegade, then it would help me alot...

FS, it's ok, but the re-map looks a little... sketchy...

Could you maybe do some of that streaky remap like you did on the Swedish "S Tank"? You know, that cammo effect you did?

suggestions

remap ring around the turret

remap rings around the barrels

a little more texture needed like Dropship, Disruptor and orca tran etc and abit darker gold (see gdi war fact in PPM forum banner above for quick example)

Wink

EDIT: Possibly put GDI logo on the side panels, now that would look cool Very Happy

Oh nice renders guys, thanx, that would help me..
