Subject description: How can I properly make my own cameo !? Help !
Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

Can anyone tell me how to properly make my own cameo !?
I have made it like this:

1 I searched on google the conscript pic that i wanted to make cameo for.
2 When I found it, I copied it directly from google (small size)
3 I opened My Open Source SHP Builder v3.36
4 I clicked New, and in the pop up window I set up-> Game:RA2 and Type:Cameo
5 After clicking OK a window popped up and asked if i want to redefine new preferences or sth, and i clicked NO cuz i want default pref.
6 I click Palette-> Red Alert 2-> cameo.pal, so i have chosen the palett.
7 Then i click the small blue (my deafult bckgrnd color) window and press Ctrl+V (paste).
8 Then I Click: Tools-> Effects -> Smooth (Conservative) -> Conser. Smooth
9 After smoothing the pic a bit, I resized it to 60x48
10 I Click: File-> Save As and I saved it as CONSICON .SHP (TS) (Since there is only SHP (TS), SHP(TD), SNO and TEM domain)
11 I save it in the RA2 folder as CONSICON.SHP
12 Then I made A veteran simbol on the same pic and saved it as ALTCONSICON.SHP (TS) into ra 2 folder
13 Then I open the art.ini
14 There I find CONSCRIPT PROPERTIES:
    [CONS] ; Conscript
    Cameo=CONSICON
    AltCameo=ALTCONSICON
    Sequence=ConSequence
    Crawls=yes
    Remapable=yes
    FireUp=6
    PrimaryFireFLH=60,0,100

15 I have changed the Cameo and AltCameo values into the cameo and altcameo file names in ra2 folder that i made and put.
16 And that's all I went into the game and the conscript cameo is reporting: Missing Cameo!


... I really dont know whaat i am doing wrong so please help me to find out
Sad Exclamation

P.S. And if you need a pic of step by step how i did all this I'll post !

Put your cameo in an ecachemd##.mix where ## is a number between 02 and 99, This isn't the place where you should post this anyways, any bugs of this kind go into the Ra2 editing fourm.

Maybe you can upload your rules.ini,art.ini and those 2 shps,then I can check them out.

I'm wondering how you can meet with this.

Ecache doesn't work like that, its ecache*string*.mix, and you don't necessarily need to put it in a MIX file.

Here's the thing that I've done:

1. I simply opened the xcc Mixer
2. Opened eceche97.mix
3. Inserted the shp-s from my cameos and copacted and it appeared ingame!
Three steps only!
