Civilian Car Modding

EimaN · Civilian **Joined**: 28 Mar 2010 **Location**: Lithuania

Hi I am beginner in moddingl and am planing to make a video for W and I need to more moving civilian cars for it like CUAuto01 but the way that im thinking how to make more of them isnt working.

I thought If i copie the CUAuto01.xml and copie it into mods/mymod/dadta folder and rename it to CUAuto02 it will work, well it did but i wasnt able to see the model. All I did was renamed CUAuto01 to CUAuto02 and DCPAuto01 to DCPAuto02

And I tested it in world builder thats why I know that it is there but it has no model in it, Howvever I alsto tried to modefy DCPAuto like this didnt work as well

Code:

[?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?]

            [Model

         [Offset

there are no attributes of xml tags shown here, best you use [] or () instead of <>

looks fine to me, but you will have a string error with this:

[DisplayName
xai:joinAction="Replace" xmlns:xai="uri:ea.com:eala:asset:instance"]Auto[/DisplayName]

I suggest,

[DisplayName
xai:joinAction="Replace" xmlns:xai="uri:ea.com:eala:asset:instance"]NAME:Auto[/DisplayName]

and

NAME:Auto
"Auto"
END

Dunno atm how its handled by Tiberium Wars (haven't tried it there) but in Generals it only searches for strings in the str when it contains ":", if not it would write it as it is in the game files.

This is what I get when im am compiling and I have also a feeling that the redmarked warning might be the problem.

Are you attempting to make a civilian car a selectable unit for one of the races?

I did it only for the video and its not selectable. I need them to be able to fallow a waypoint path so the city could look more lively.
