smart but dumb question
ok lots of details.
i have made a new tank for red alert 2 yuris revenge, it worked grreat you can see it and everything (i mentioned this because i have experiance.),
then i made a infantry unit no matter what i try or change it is always invisible or the cameo shows up as the unit instead of the voxel.yes you can build it. ive tried every toturial and looked up all the questions on it none of them work.
ok heres the unit code
rulesmd.ini
in the infantry list
66=GIANT1
then
[GIANT1]
UIName=Name:GIANT1
Name=GIANT1
Image=GIANT1
Category=Soldier
Primary=M60
Secondary=Para
Occupier=yes ; I can Occupy UC buildings
OccupyWeapon=UCPara; The weapon I use while Occupying. Defaults to 0 (Primary)
EliteOccupyWeapon=UCElitePara; The weapon I use while Occupying. Defaults to 0 (Primary)
OpenTransportWeapon=1;defaults to -1 (decide normally) What weapon should I use in a Battle Fortress
Prerequisite=GAPILE
CrushSound=InfantrySquish
Strength=1250
Pip=white
OccupyPip=PersonBlue
Armor=none
TechLevel=1
Sight=5
Speed=2
Owner=British,French,Germans,Americans,Alliance
Cost=600
Soylent=100
Points=10
IsSelectableCombatant=yes
VoiceSelect=GISelect
VoiceMove=GIMove
VoiceAttack=GIAttackCommand
VoiceFeedback=GIFear
VoiceSpecialAttack=GIMove
DieSound=GIDie
Locomotor={4A582744-9839-11d1-B709-00A024DDAFD1}
PhysicalSize=1
MovementZone=Infantry
ThreatPosed=10 ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons
ImmuneToVeins=yes
ImmuneToPsionics=no
Bombable=yes
Deployer=yes
DeployFire=yes
; DeployTime=.022 ; PCG; Unused for now. Was maybe going to make its way in if we did
; a more explicit state machine for deploying b/c of autodeploy.
VeteranAbilities=STRONGER,FIREPOWER,ROF,SIGHT,FASTER
EliteAbilities=SELF_HEAL,STRONGER,FIREPOWER,ROF
Size=1
Crushable=yes
DeploySound=GIDeploy
UndeploySound=GIUndeploy
ElitePrimary=M60E
EliteSecondary=ParaE
IFVMode=2
artmd.ini
[GIANT1] ; giant
Cameo=GIANTCAM ;as in cameo (also i had my cameo as GIANT1 bfore but then it apeared as my unit)
AltCameo=GIANTCAM
Sequence=GISequence
Crawls=yes
Remapable=yes
FireUp=2
PrimaryFireFLH=80,0,105
SecondaryFireFLH=80,0,90
ok then i made my voxel and hva files and put them in expandmd93.mix
and put my cameo shp file in ecachemd93.mix
also i tried different voxels and hva's and ried putting them in different mix files like Expandmd93.mix and expand93.mix Expand93.mix expandmd25.mix etc... same for the shp file.
also i use xcc mix editor voxel section editor 111 os hva builder 2.1 and shp builder 3.36
Infantry has never been, does not and will never work as a voxel.
Infantry only works as an shp unit. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

No, voxels are 2D.
SHPs are 3D.
Banshee simply got them confused when he made the editing tools.
First post. First epic mistake.
Or you could at least point out the sarcasm. :/
But anyway:
SHP - 2D sequences of images, basicly animated drawings, infantry, buildings, terrain...
Voxels - 3D objects, used for vehicles only. _________________ DUNK! QUICK_EDIT

Voxels are often used in action games... with low resolution of course... _________________ DUNK! Last edited by gufu on Mon Jun 23, 2008 11:47 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
um how can you make a unit as a shp? arent shps 2d?
most shp creators like myself use a 3d modeling program like 3dsmax, blender, cinema4d etc and create a 3d model. then they animate this model and render the animation as single images.
You can find a tutorial here. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
uuuuuuuuuuh... ok... um i have os shp maker 3.36 i made a shp butits weird i it has 100 frames that just show it moving. so when its in the game it will move right while walking left and so on then when it just stands it walks whitout moving the real character just the animation. uh how do i make a unit with os shp maker 3.36? QUICK_EDIT
take a look on original infantry shps.
They have a certain order of the direction in which the unit looks, fires and walks.
Then in art.ini define a new sequence that matches the frames in your shp. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
where would the infantry shps be located?
i do all my mods in the yrys revenge program files not C:\westwood\yuri's revnge
does that matter? QUICK_EDIT

i doubt that. for there is alot of idiots here that dose say stuff like that. the funny thing about text is it has no tone, so when situations like this where you may be sarcastic... and may not be... its always best to not be lazy and place a little /Sarcasm or something... or not be sarcastic at all. QUICK_EDIT
And without beeing sarcastic, wouldn't it be advisable to stay on topic?

I'm not that familiar with RA2 modding but i think the game finds SHPs like TS only in ecacheXX.mix files. Try placing the new shps in e.g. ecache2.mix. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
BritishPetrol, you made the same mistake I did, irony does not transfer well into text, unless you use some italics and a [/sarcasm] at the end... But that kinda spoils the effect. _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. Last edited by Lt Albrecht on Tue Jun 24, 2008 5:14 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
ok! i found some shp's have studyed them and im making my own now. though looking at other peoples shp's and how good they are, it must take a loooong time to make one. _________________ just shut up... QUICK_EDIT
that depends on the way how you make them.
By hand frame per frame it is almost impossible and lasts a very long time.
As an animated 3dmodel it's actually quite fast, because the 3d program just renders from different angles the same animation. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
