Adding new tank

[HINT] RTNK is actually the Mirage Tank.

In the rules file the VehicalTypes section as well as the other types sections have this comment at the end.

Code:

;gs if you add something here, tell Dustin you just broke the SetTechLevel and FlashCameo triggers (and duck)

Do I need to change these two settings when I add a unit to the list then or should I just ignore them?

depends on what your talking about. If you mean like having 2 functional turrets on a single vehicle, I dont think thats possible, or do you mean like how the SREF is set up to have an animated turret?

an animated turret, like a charging one

Simply look at the prism tank and duplicate it's logic. Wink

Code looks fine, though you really dont need to use Image=.

I can only think of two things that may cause this not to show ingame,

(1) Is your vxl and hva file named aplx.vxl and aplx.hva?
(2) Did you list it in the [VehicleTypes]?

carnage_xploade · Disk Thrower **Joined**: 04 Jul 2009 **Location**: Romania

yes is on [VehicleTypes] and yes the vxl and hva file is named aplx.vxl and aplx.hva
the .mix file is named ecachemd01, its that ok?

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

try using an expandmd**.mix, but I recommend using a number 10 or above. Like expandmd10.mix. I think some of the lower numbers are in use and/or reserved for certain things.

carnage_xploade · Disk Thrower **Joined**: 04 Jul 2009 **Location**: Romania

i am using expandmd50 and nothing my tank is still invisible,
edit - I put the rhino tank code and it works fine, beside of the turret which my tank has 7.

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

Hmmm, strange. So you say you have 7 turrets, then so all together you have,

aplx.vxl
aplx.hva
aplxtur.vxl
aplxtur.hva
aplxtur1.vxl
aplxtur1.hva
aplxtur2.vxl
aplxtur2.hva
aplxtur3.vxl
aplxtur3.hva
aplxtur4.vxl
aplxtur4.hva
aplxtur5.vxl
aplxtur5.hva
aplxtur6.vxl
aplxtur6.hva

and you have these all in an expandmd50.mix right?

Rules;

[VehicleTypes]
**=APLX

[APLX]
Blah,Blah,Blah

Art;

[APLX]
Voxel=yes
Remapable=yes
Cameo=
AltCameo=
Weapon1FLH=

So if all this is correct, then I have to lean towards a faulty .vxl and/or .hva file

I didn't have the turret 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 hva file
thex very much Cranium thenx a lot

I forgot to mention that the game reads these types of turrets in reverse order "dont ask me why, it just does". So actually aplxtur6 will be read first. I found the easiest way to do this is to put the aplx.vxl and aplxtur.vxl in a folder, then make a sub-folder inside that one. It will be used for renaming purposes.. Then open aplx.vxl with hva builder, align your first turret than save it. goto the folder and rename the aplxtur.hva to aplxtur6.hva. Also make a copy of the aplxtur.vxl and paste it into the subfolder you made. Rename it that one also to aplxtur6.vxl and place it back into the main folder. Then just repeat this process on all the turrets.
