Parabombs and planes

Tratos · General **Joined**: 01 Jan 2003

1) Parabombs - Ok, i know this is possible, and i know i have to create a single frame SHP of the bomb which i have done but i haven't got a clue on what to do from there, short of d/l Allies Revenge 2 and taking the code out of it, which i'd rather not do as it's there work.

2) Planes - This is about the planes that drop the bombs (pdplane), i know it cant be changed to allow each side to use a different aircraft, but is it possible to use a different image for each side (kinda like the sensor array etc... in TS) by putting the images in the side specific mix files? I will try this and post results, and incase your wondering im trying to do this to get three new totally customisable superweapons by just modifying one existing one.

Ok, i tried everything i can think of and the best result i got was a total lockup of my comp so it is 100% impossible to change the appearance of the pdplane for individual sides.

Parabombs are simple, however, one parachute should be sacrificed. The american parachute should release a vehicle with strength=1

which then destroys itself upon landing? And one parachute won't be sacrificed, it will be turned, ingeniously into 3 new superweapons. How? Easy, use the tech paradrop (not the american one) and you can turn it into 3 parabomb type weapons by altering what it drops for each side and then allowing each side to build it.

in Generals case, only americans have paratroops, so your problems are really solved Smile

Yes, but the other sides have superweapons which we can use the paradrop to make, clustermines for china for example, also a fuel air bomb for America and Anthrax bomb for GLA.

I think I've seen this several times in some maps from the american campaign. I suggest you take a look at them.

What missions? I havent palyed the Oringinal RA2 for a long time. I wonder what missions these TANK Drops are one and what code they use, or if they are specially triggered for the map itself:?: Smile

They are a trigger on the map itself, which is the
Soviet Mission #4 Big Apple

You start with Radar and a Soviet MCV.

You must Capture the Allied Battle Lab with an Engineer to steal the technology needed to construct the Psychic Beacon.

(I play Yuri and RA2 TOO much!!)
