RST007 0 Posted November 30, 2008 Hi all, I'm new on this forum, so i hope this is the right forum to ask this. First i'm not new in editing Red Alert 2 / yuri's revenge, i did it for a pretty long time a few years back, just forget everything. This morning i started again, tried to add some simple changes. ok my problem: I added a new unit called Medic, everything works, exept for a few small details: 1) my Cameo is fine, but i still get the message "missing cameoname:medic" instead of the normal name of the unit: -> i added 2shp's called medcicon.shp, and medcuico.shp, then added in the directory of my game the file Medic.shp 2) i don't get any sound to know i'm healing a unit (dunno how to do that anymore, add a costum sound to an action) 3) how to change the icon to an attack icon for the medic (i want to make a medic sign or something) i used the following sequence in art.ini [MedicSequence] Ready=0,1,1 Guard=0,1,1 Prone=86,1,6 Walk=8,6,6 FireUp=164,6,6 Down=212,2,2 Crawl=86,6,6 Up=228,2,2 FireProne=164,6,6 Idle1=56,15,0,S Idle2=71,15,0,E Die1=134,15,0 Die2=149,15,0 Die3=0,1,1 Die4=0,1,1 Die5=0,1,1 Paradrop=244,1,0 Cheer=245,8,0,E Panic=8,6,6 the unit code: [MEDIC] Cameo=MEDCICON AltCameo=MEDCUICO Sequence=MedicSequence Crawls=yes Remapable=yes FireUp=2 then in Rules.ini added the following: XX=MEDIC and added this to the units: [MEDIC] UIName=Name:MEDIC Name=Medic Category=Soldier Primary=Heal Secondary=VirtualScanner Prerequisite=GAPILE CrushSound=InfantrySquish Strength=125 Pip=red Armor=none TechLevel=4 Sight=6 Speed=4 Owner=British,French,Germans,Americans,Alliance AllowedToStartInMultiplayer=no Cost=600 Soylent=300 Points=5 VoiceSelect=CivAllSelect VoiceMove=CivAllMove VoiceAttack=CivAllAttackCommand VoiceFeedback=CivAllFear DieSound=CivAllDie Locomotor={4A582744-9839-11d1-B709-00A024DDAFD1} PhysicalSize=1 MovementZone=Infantry ThreatPosed=0 SpecialThreatValue=1 GuardRange=8 SelfHealing=yes ImmuneToRadiation=no ImmuneToPsionics=no PreventAttackMove=yes Bombable=yes Trainable=no Size=1 AllowedToStartInMultiplayer=no IFVMode=0 added this to the weaponsection: ; medic heal weapon [Heal] Damage=-45 ROF=75 Range=3 Projectile=Invisible Warhead=Organic Speed=100 Report= ;A heal sound. Add one i'm not lazy to search trough forums and i want to learn everything myself, but i would be very thankful to some1 who doesn't mind to give me some help, maybe even an email adres or something, so i can ask some of this beginners questions. i hope i didn't break some forumrules, Kind regards, Robin Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 40 Posted December 1, 2008 1) Add Name:MEDIC to the CSF file using RA2StrEdit. 2) Change Report to HealCrate. 3) Can't without the NPatch. Share this post Link to post
Nmenth 289 Posted December 1, 2008 2) HealCrate is global though, it might be better to make a new one in SoundMD.ini like [soundList] xxx=Healer [Healer] Sounds=gcraheal Type=normal MinVolume=75 Share this post Link to post
RST007 0 Posted December 1, 2008 ok txs guy's, i gonna try it, this evening. P.S. if i use npatch how would i change the icon to attack? Thanks for these good fast reply's regards, Robin Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 40 Posted December 1, 2008 2) HealCrate is global though, it might be better to make a new one in SoundMD.ini like I've used it for years with no adverse effects. Even Deez used it back in the day. P.S. if i use npatch how would i change the icon to attack? You'll have to read the patch documentation. I don't remember off the top of my head.

Nmenth 289 Posted December 2, 2008 I've used it for years with no adverse effects. Even Deez used it back in the day. I don't expect it to have adverse effects, it would just sound odd being global. Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 40 Posted December 2, 2008 The enemy doesn't hear it, just you do. That would only be the side effect as I've had it in use for so long that I just forget about it. Share this post Link to post
