So where exaclty did you put the harvester's voxel and HVA?

Isn't that just for cameos?

sorry bout double posting I didn't realize. I haven't changed any thing in any .ini's I just put the .vxl's and .hva's in sidec02.mix

Kravvitz · Commander **Joined**: 25 Mar 2003 **Location**: USA

And you put sidec02.mix back in tibsun.mix, or did you just leave it loose in your TS directory?

did you consider making a GDI one too?

Kravvitz · Commander **Joined**: 25 Mar 2003 **Location**: USA

Why would he do that since he can't get the Nod one to show up ingame?

christophski, try putting the normal one in sidec01.mix.

WP, you apparently didn't fully understand the discussion so far.

In tibsun.mix are several other mix files, two of which are named sidec01.mix and sidec02.mix. They contain side specific cameos for GDI and Nod, respectively.

christophski hopes that you can have side specific voxels too, so I suggested that he put the voxel for GDI to use in sidec01.mix.

well if he does get it working and god willing he will a GDI one wud b nice
and why not make the harvester a new unit for that side but you then would need a specific refinery so actualy that was a bad idea but oh well

Well, it's a smart idea, but i get the idea it's not gonna work, i would've seen it in other mods before..

Ackron · Commander **Joined**: 19 May 2004

he could make that nods buildable harvester though

yes clone the harv but make its image your harv

I think you will have to clone the HARV so you have a HARVGDI and HARVNOD and do the same with the refinery (cant remember if this is possible) and can you set the unit that comes with the refinery or is that hardcoded as well? (cant say anyhting for sure without coding infront of me)

Ackron · Commander **Joined**: 19 May 2004

dont bother with the refinery its too complicated just do the thingy thing......harvester thats the one

i will just do the harv for the moment then ill do the refinery later so that the right harv comes out for each side.

I have relised a setting it is something like harvester in refinery=
if I'm going to get round this what am I meant to do?

The DvD · Posted: Fri Jun 11, 2004 9:00 pm Post subject:

I have done this in TSTW, it works well BUT for the AI, they can only BUILD one type..

christophski the great · Posted: Sat Jun 12, 2004 8:21 am Post subject:

ok I've put it in the game cloned the refinery all worked pretty well but there are a few glitches.

I got 2 pics

ok these pics turned out rubbish so i will get some better ones later

The anim is out of place because the voxel is not alligned correctly, you can easily see because it doesn't fit into the selection box. And about the voxel colours...*cries* i have problems with that too...

because of this when i put my harv in the refinery it shows the old harvester. Should I just remove this line(or the answer) or should I add my horv on the end?

Kravvitz · Commander **Joined**: 25 Mar 2003 **Location**: USA

I'm not sure what you mean, but this might help.

Code:

UnloadingHarvester=HORV ; harvester image to use when unloading tiberium

1. the HORV is hardcoded
2. Its ridiculous putting different harvesters in the side##.mix's because GDI will see nods harvesters as GDI, and nod will see GDI harvesters as nod ones

atupid hardcoding! Damn you EA damn you to helllllll!!!!!
EA wont release source code thus Damn them damn them to hell!

wot so the only way to change the horv is to edit the voxel?

actually that unloading harvester isnt hardcoded, i have changed mine. I am making a new side in TS: Firestorm and gave them the Soviet Harvester from RA2. It works just fine! All I did was renamed the images to chorv and charv. This gave me seperate images from the ingame ones. Then I just changed UnloadingHarvester=CHORV and it works perfectly, even lines up nicely to the normal refinery

are you sure?!?!
As far as i knew, it was totally impossible to separate harvesters, oly the refineries...

Clazzy · Posted: Wed Jul 21, 2004 12:08 am Post subject:

Er...
UnloadingHarvester=HORV ; harvester image to use when unloading tiberium

EDIT: Just realised that Kravvitz posted this before. Stupid me.

Westwood wouldn't have done either. Come on, of all those thousands of games, in how many cases has the sourcecode been released due to fans' request ("leaked" doesn't count)?

Clazzy · Posted: Tue Aug 17, 2004 11:56 am Post subject:

Westwood were very secretive about their code. Even 10 years on, they would never release their TD engine or even license it to anyone else.

Yes, that far it isn't hardcoded, but then the original harvester will show up as the unloading soviet harvester too when it is unloading. However, you cannot add more unloading harvesters, because the game is hardcoded to use only one. The best solotion IMO is to change the line to: UnloadingHarvester= that way, no unloading harvester will show up, but you still can use different harvesters without haveing the normal unloading harvester appearing every time.

Kravvitz · Commander **Joined**: 25 Mar 2003 **Location**: USA

Does the harvester take less time to unload if it unloads when it's not full?

Yes, i think so. I believe the unload time is determined by dividing the amount of tiberium carried by a number (don't know what number) and the harvester stays in the refinery for that amount of time.
