Yes, countryside buildings in some regions really look like this. It's very accurate...
There are some very famous traditional locations where architecture looks like this.
In towns/cities, it will look more modern. Probably like modern European/American/Chinese cities also. _________________

Psh assuming i dunno crap about japan. I adore that country, i know loads about it. It's pretty much all pre-edo period architecture. But yeah modern stuff is mostly european.
There's a lot of paper-walled tatami-floored old houses that people still live in...
Move it up to edo-period stuff, and you got places like Takehara. Really peaceful pleasant place there, both in appearance and socially.

An issue i keep coming across for some reason, is death weapons... Pretty much any death weapon i create causes a crash, even if it's a direct clone of an existing one like DemoBomb,TerrorBomb,or NukePayload
now i could start throwing in my ini stuff, but first i wanna ask is there anything that is a common issue with death weapons? like anything in particular that can easily break them?

This exploit has been used to replicate "zombies" in my mod, ie infantry units that can be damaged to near-death with small arms fire (anything that makes use of DieN frames in its death anim), but can never really be killed unless "gibbed" (or hit with something else that confers a death animation).
on that note i found a quirk, it might have to do with Cyborg=yes, but i put a couple explosions as it's death anims, and for some reason it couldn't be killed by a single attacker, it could however be killed if a second attacker came on to it. (i'm using terror drones as infantry) _________________ ????????MyAnimeList my Last.fm Last edited by GenesisAria on Wed Apr 22, 2015 6:06 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
Temporal=yes death weapons create crashes for sure. Aside from that, hard to tell. If you got an except.txt, you can attach it to your post. It would increases your chance to get it solved. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
I had Explodes=yes... but for some reason it magically fixed... the only thing that's different is DeathAnims=TWLT036 :/
still trying to work out the gattling thing for my railgun weap XD
i'll have to try my time machine death weapon again (supposed to take stuff with it into a temporal rift and poof. i didn't actually use temporal tho.) _________________ ????????MyAnimeList my Last.fm QUICK_EDIT

As Alex said, Temporal death weapons will cause issues, and nothing else will give override explosions for vehicles. You might want to try have your time machine create a dummy infantry upon death that exists briefly and shoots temporal weapons at anything around it. _________________

Lol i said i didn't actually use temporal . . . if it's a rift you can assume it's full of turbulence and crap (you know gravitational waves and alcubierre-logic space warping, different areas with varying phase... messy messy.) things get all ripped up kinda like scrin rift... it's fine if it just does conventional damage. it was just crashing my game even tho i tried a direct clone of nukepayload and demobomb, with different effects and it killed my game lul.
to make a temporal suicide weapon it'd prob have to be a dummy vehicle with gattling so that it kills itself after a certain amount of time...
lol though now i'm being reminded of the chrono-tesla-tornado from RA1....

Can't have DeathWeapons spawn vehicles, and for now (for now!) there is no way to spawn a vehicle via Deploy either... you have to use infantry.
And yes, I used to have a concept for Chrono Vortex in my mod, but since Chrono technology as a whole is removed now, the Vortex isn't used anymore either. Though it might appear again in the future in some obscure high-tier branch of technology, maybe something from SecretLabs.
It was just an un-owned infantry that looked like a big glob of energy and moved around at random, with an AE.Anim with damage on it. QUICK_EDIT
The difficulty of it is making the distortion effect... but It would be easy enough to make it a spawnable entity with visceroid movement.
Nother question: i added a new weapon for a special tower to be able to mind control more than 3 things... supposedly the "damage" equals the amount of things it can mind control, except it still can only control 3 things for some reason.
How does one make aircraft that will turn if there is no turret?
Alternatively, is there a way to improve it's firing angle? (or perhaps have a turret with limited turn angle?)
Something i don't get, is that in the audio.bag, i can have sounds with 16-bit LPCM 44.1kHz, or even 48kHz . . . why don't the soundtrack files in mixes work?
Edit: Turns out IMA ADPCM @ 44.1kHz is passable. So we redeem some quality. _________________ ????????MyAnimeList my Last.fm QUICK_EDIT

Visceroid only applies to vehicleTypes, which DeathWeapons cannot spawn. For infantry, you have to use... IsCow=yes...
"Aircraft that will turn"?
Planes always turn to face their target, but their behaviour is modified by weapon... strafing aircraft will fly over their target and Fighter with OmniFire can fire even when not facing their target. If you mean the old Harpy/ORCA style, the Harrier will do that if you remove Fighter=yes.
No limited-traverse turrets are possible, FireAngle simply controls the barrel elevation/depression.
I can't help with the mindcontrol problem, I never had issues with it, but perhaps there is some setting on the Tower itself that limits it. _________________

Well i got this lovely kirov gunship and either it's a huge pain in the butthole to aim it at anything, and it never turns, or i have magical bullets that find their way to target somehow using omnifire....
Nothing seems fishy.... the weap is literally a clone of the former. _________________ ????????MyAnimeList my Last.fm Last edited by GenesisAria on Fri Apr 24, 2015 3:00 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT

On the weapon I think, OmniFire on the unit is used in some places in the default rulesmd, but I don't think it works.
Voxel JumpJet units can't turn to face their target (maybe Ares will fix that soon), so either OmniFire or give them Turret=yes (an actual turret voxel is not needed, it will just look like the unit will have an invisible turret). Both solutions seem to be equal, but Turret=yes gives you additional control over how fast you want your unit to align its weapons (via ROT), while OmniFire is instant.
Oh also your code is not of a gunship at all, but of a Psychic Tower clone, so I'm posting pure conjecture. _________________

Talking about 2 separate things here. The kirov gunship is a kirov airship with a double howitzer gun on it, self explanatory. The script was for the tower that wouldn't mind control more than 3 things.
Alternatively i could make the whole kirov a turret, with a low ROT, and disabled opportunity fire / target tracking....so it doesn't fly sideways. _________________ ????????MyAnimeList my Last.fm QUICK_EDIT
The turret of the Jumpjet vehicle will automatically point to a certain direction if left uncontrolled, unless they are set to spin.
I set the Damage of the [MultipleMindControlTower] to 250 and it works just fine. _________________ Aka DirtyChicken Last edited by Trans_C on Fri Apr 24, 2015 4:22 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT

250? i only want it to mind control 6 units lol.
Edit: have kirov gunship a generic dummy vxl base, and the whole thing is a turret, works just find in the air... occasionally strafes but that's ok, it's a pro kirov. the only notable issue is that props only animate when firing. oh well, lets you know it's eating someone's base from afar devastator style.
Edit2: it does turn itself to face the bottom right sometimes, but not always.... not a huge deal. _________________ ????????MyAnimeList my Last.fm QUICK_EDIT
