Multiple Errors!

Comr4de · Posted: Mon May 17, 2010 11:43 am Post subject: Multiple Errors!

Code:

[secret]
UIName=Name:secret
Name=secret
Suffix=Soviet
Prefix=C
Color=DarkRed
Multiplay=no
Side=ThirdSide
SmartAI=yes

How do I make it possible to make this country chosen more often by the 'Random' button than other countries? I have the country, but I want it to be a secret country, but when you choose random it should be 5 out of 10 times the [secret]country.

I have encountered another problem, this:

Code:

[secret]
UIName=Name:secret
Name=secret
Suffix=Soviet
Prefix=C
Color=DarkRed
Multiplay=yes
Side=ThirdSide
SmartAI=yes
VeteranInfantry=INIT,BRUTE,VIRUS,PRSITE,YURI,YURIPR
VeteranUnits=YURIMINER,LTNK,YTNK,TELE,MIND,CAOS,BSUB,CSMIN,YAGATBOAT
VeteranAircraft=DISK,DISK2,CAUSBMB,CHABOMB
ArmorAircraftMult=1.5
ArmorUnitsMult=1.5
ArmorInfantryMult=1.5
ArmorBuildingsMult=1.5
ArmorDefensesMult=1.5
CostAircraftMult=0.5
CostUnitsMult=0.5
CostInfantryMult=0.5
CostBuildingsMult=0.5
CostDefensesMult=0.5
SpeedAircraftMult=1.5
SpeedUnitsMult=1.5
SpeedInfantryMult=1.5
BuildTimeAircraftMult=0.5
BuildTimeUnitsMult=0.5
BuildTimeInfantryMult=0.5
BuildTimeBuildingsMult=0.5
BuildTimeDefensesMult=0.5
IncomeMult=2.0

Can someone tell me what I did wrong? As soon as I have built my BioReactor or killed an Initiate (from the start) it gives an IE.

And the last thing:
I have created a flag for a Yuri country, and it has new colors, red and white. I have edited the pallete and added those colors. But ingame the flag is black, when it should be like I have created it, with a Yuri logo on the left, and the 'flag' part on the right.

Maybe you should try changing DISK under VeteranUnits. VehicleTypes belong under VeteranUnits, AircraftTypes under VeteranAircraft.

Is this new country listed under [Sides]?

im guessing your making the flags a shp file. the proper format (correct me if im wrong) is suppose to be pcx.

@ ApolloTD:
The DISK is considered aircraft = yes and if I disable the veteran aircraft.

@ High Templar X:
It is listed under SIDES and at ThirdSide=

@ wardeathfun:
The flag is .PCX created with GIMP, all the other created flags work, but the one with new colors not.

I removed the multipliers completely from the country, still giving the IE

What palette did you use for the flag?

the yrii.pal used for all Yuri flags
I only added three colors, white, red and dark red at a black color (unused) I have a country on a Yuri place (number9) so I have to add them as well.

Are you using a exe hack/dll ehancement aka NPatch/Ares?

Flag PCX files have to be in 256-color mode aka 8-bit, thus they technically have palette on them but there's no need to specifically use any existing game palette...

3 reasons why flags can look messed in game include

there's three reasons for why flag pcx looks funky ingame
1: not in correct size
2: not in 256-colors
3: wrong PCX "subformat" e.g saved in wrong program so to say
saving in photoshop or creating PCX file through XCC Mixer Copy as PCX works

[VehicleTypes]
75=DISK

Just because a unit flies in the air doesn't automatically make it a aircraft. Only units under [AircraftTypes] are "true" aircraft.

Think of it like the Cyborg Reaper from Tiberian Sun, its clearly a infantry unit but game purposes its considered a vehicle even though it heals in tiberium, etc.

I would like to thank Starkku for helping me explain the flag issues.

I am going to try it. I hope it works Very Happy

The next error is about a new weapon,I have edited/recreated the Psychic Tower into some sort of Laser Tower. But I get an IE, before it pops up.

Code:

[YAPSYT2]
Image=YAPSYT2
Cameo=PSYTICON
Remapable=no
Foundation=1x1
Height=8
Buildup=YAPSYTMK
DemandLoadBuildup=true
FreeBuildup=true
NewTheater=yes
ActiveAnim=YAPSYT2_A
ActiveAnimDamaged=YAPSYT2_AD
ActiveAnimZAdjust=-50
ActiveAnimPowered=no ; SJM: This means anim goes away when underpowered
ActiveAnimPoweredLight=yes ; SJM: This means anim goes away when underpowered
;Below are the settings for the charging animation!
SpecialAnim=YAPSYT2_B
SpecialAnimDamaged=YAPSYT2_BD
SpecialAnimZAdjust=-50
SpecialAnimYSort=362
SpecialAnimPowered=no ; SJM: This means anim goes away when underpowered

LoopEnd=52

I have added the files, its complicated to explain to you how it works.
The first image, with black jabs is the standard one, also the one for low-power.
The second one, _A, is the powered one.
The third one, _B, is the charging for attack one.
