DarkMajor21 0 Posted November 18, 2011 Okay I need help with tib edit 2 I just want to add new units I do not care about skins or any of that just how to duplicate a unit and make it trainable in a skirmish battle. P.S I am pretty confident I can figure the rest out when I make the unit usable. Any help appreciated Share this post Link to post
Plok 321 Posted November 18, 2011 Well if you intend to make a campaign unit or something else that's in the code buildable, check out this tutorial I made Share this post Link to post
Plok 321 Posted November 21, 2011 For making of new units, you'll need to place them either in an existing INI or make your own for the sake of easier finding if you botch something up. Let's make a duplicate of an American Humvee for this particular tutorial. We'll place it in a new INI file. In your ZH directory, you'll need to go to the Data folder, then create the following subfolders, the next one contained in the previous, as follows: INI\Object\. Inside it, create a Notepad file and name it ModUnits.ini (note that if the icon doesn't have a gear, then you need to uncheck hiding known extensions in the folder options and delete the .txt extension.) Okay, let's make some coding to match the Humvee. Open the new "ModUnits.ini" and type this (use copy paste, it's a long one). Basically, this coding is mostly already done, just so you can examine what can be changed or toyed with. Note that the initial name is "AmericaVehicleHumveeClone" not to interfere with the real one. There are some explanations after semicolons in the coding so you can know what this will all mean. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Object AmericaVehicleHumveeClone ; *** ART Parameters *** SelectPortrait = SAHummer_L ;portrait visible in the command bar at the bottom of the screen ButtonImage = SAHummer ; cameo used in Weapons factories UpgradeCameo1 = Upgrade_AmericaBattleDrone UpgradeCameo2 = Upgrade_AmericaScoutDrone UpgradeCameo3 = Upgrade_AmericaHellfireDrone UpgradeCameo4 = Upgrade_AmericaAdvancedTraining UpgradeCameo5 = Upgrade_AmericaTOWMissile Draw = W3DTruckDraw ModuleTag_01 OkToChangeModelColor = Yes ;if the team colour can be changed ConditionState = NONE Model = AVHUMMER Turret = Turret ShowSubObject = Turret HideSubObject = TurretUp01 Housecolor03 MuzzleFXUP01 WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY Muzzle WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY MuzzleFX End ConditionState = REALLYDAMAGED Model = AVHUMMER_d Turret = Turret ShowSubObject = Turret HideSubObject = TurretUp01 Housecolor03 MuzzleFXUP01 WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY Muzzle WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY MuzzleFX End ConditionState = WEAPONSET_PLAYER_UPGRADE Model = AVHUMMER Turret = TurretUp01 HideSubObject = Turret MuzzleFX01 ShowSubObject = TurretUp01 Housecolor03 WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY MuzzleUp WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY MuzzleFXUp WeaponFireFXBone = SECONDARY WeaponB WeaponLaunchBone = SECONDARY WeaponB WeaponFireFXBone = TERTIARY WeaponB WeaponLaunchBone = TERTIARY WeaponB End ConditionState = REALLYDAMAGED WEAPONSET_PLAYER_UPGRADE Model = AVHUMMER_d Turret = TurretUp01 HideSubObject = Turret MuzzleFX01 ShowSubObject = TurretUp01 Housecolor03 WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY MuzzleUp WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY MuzzleFXUp WeaponFireFXBone = SECONDARY WeaponB WeaponLaunchBone = SECONDARY WeaponB WeaponFireFXBone = TERTIARY WeaponB WeaponLaunchBone = TERTIARY WeaponB End TrackMarks = EXTireTrack.tga Dust = RocketBuggyDust DirtSpray = RocketBuggyDirtSpray PowerslideSpray = RocketBuggyDirtPowerSlide ; These parameters are only used if the model has a separate suspension, ; and the locomotor has HasSuspension = Yes.

DarkMajor21 0 Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Man thank you so much for helping me I have no way to express my thanks! So you just want me to add the text you posted into and INI file? Edited November 22, 2011 by DarkMajor21 Share this post Link to post
Plok 321 Posted November 22, 2011 Yes, just to test if it works and play around with it so you can get the hang of it. Share this post Link to post
DarkMajor21 0 Posted November 23, 2011 Wait how do I use the modunits.ini to make it buildable? Share this post Link to post
Plok 321 Posted November 23, 2011 As far as ModUnits.ini is concerned, you're done. Look back to the tutorial about making units buildable (http://forums.cncnz.com/topic/14852-making-unusable-units-playable-in-cc-zh/page__p__188844#entry188844), and where there's AmericaPOWTruck, place AmericaVehicleHumveeClone. Don't touch the command set and the ButtonImage value in CommandButton.ini should be set to SAHummer. Share this post Link to post
