creating a new superweapon type/action

MiniGunner · Soldier **Joined**: 07 Nov 2009

assuming i have the source of the game executable, how can i create a new weapon type/action
like the lines below :

[LightningStormSpecial]
UIName=Name:Storm
Name=Lightning Storm
IsPowered=true
RechargeVoice=00-I156
ChargingVoice=
ImpatientVoice=
SuspendVoice=
RechargeTime=10
Type=LightningStorm
Action=LightningStorm
SidebarImage=BOLTICON
ShowTimer=yes
DisableableFromShell=yes ; gs this determines which superweapons are turned off by the checkbox
AIDefendAgainst=yes;AI will use AISuperDefense system to decide to block this
Range=7
LineMultiplier=2

Simply put, you arent going to make a new Type=. There's a whole lot more involved than what your thinking. Type= connects several other things that make it a whole. You just cant make up a type=, sorry. The only thing that you may be able to do is rename an existing type= with the exact same amount of letters it uses, but doing that may break other things and may not even be doable or logical. I dont know you can try.

As for Action=, if you use Ares, it offers custom actions.

so what do i need to connect to make a new type=?

I'm not a programmer, But I do believe that Type= is the actual super weapon itself. Meaning that this connects/hooks a multitude of things that make up the whole superweapon, and I'm not trying to degrade you in anyway, but unless your some sort of Master Programmer you may as well let this R.I.P

Go ask DCoder over at RenegadeProjects and see what he tells you.

I am a beginner programmer, so i know the basic commands.
And what is RenegadeProjects? where is it located?

Type= decides what kind of superweapon it is.Change that is to change the original SW to some other SW else.I believe type= have a list for you to choose from.Any type not listed in is useless and causes IE.
If you use RockPatch then you can use your own actions.

I found that all of the cursors (Action=) are in a shp file called mouse.shp
how can i choose the frames for an action?

I want to use RockPatch but the download isn't working.
and what that i want to do is to add a new type to the list

types cannot be added.
only actions.

what you are trying to do is adding a SW type that does not exist in the engine of the game!

This is related to HACKING THE EXE FILE.

If you can hack,go ahead.
But with the RP given you cannot do whatever you want to do.Understand me?

1) You're not getting the source. NO ONE IS.
2) http://lmgtfy.com/?q=renegadeprojects
3) HAHAHAHAHA.
4) I know a lot more than you do apparently.

1.i don't have the source but it's close to
2.thanks
3.why do you laugh?

Crushable=Certainlynot

There is no "close to the source." Just looking at it with a hex editor doesn't mean shit, nor does disassembling the EXE like DCoder did. The source code is the header files and the cpp files. NO ONE WILL EVER HAVE IT.

It means that you cannot make up code.

For instance, IsMassivelyEndowed=true isn't a real tag, and won't work just because you put it in there.

If you have the knowledge of how to disassemble the exe and make sense of it, then you will want to head to the renegade projects forums and discuss it with one of the ares programmers there.

The reason you are getting laughs is because your english isn't coming across as if you know what you are doing. There are always people coming through saying they are going to hack the exe, but until they step up expect some skepticism. I'm not going to make the judgement call as to whether you are up to it or not, go to renegadeprojects (google it as suggested) and the guys there will pretty quickly figure out if you are or not.

i know that i can't make a tag to work by just putting it in the ini file.
and thanks blade
