Uhhm Hi guys :lol:

I'm new on this forum and stuff

and i have just begun with modding

im busy with ra2 yr and im using tibed

and i made new building with shp files and i've used XCC mix editor and mixer to put it in the cameo.ini including the buildups

the first it wont give the buildup anime and the name says in the building menu (on the right in the game) missing(and the name that i give) normally i put it like this in tibed

Image=GAGEN

Name=Stealth Generator

UIName=Name:GAGEN

and then it says in the game

MISSING:NAME:GAGEN

so i did alot of things

but i didnt came out

 

can you help me? :cry:

 

P.S. i dont know how to post topics and how to begin i hope it isnt confusing or something but a few tips would be welcome

you need to use the string file: ra2.csf and ra2md.csf for yr... add in name:gagen under the "name" section.... here is a tip... don't use tibed.. and don't do shp editing just yet... concentrate on rulesmd.ini first.. understand warheads, projectilles, weapons, units, aircraft, infantries, and buildings first.. then learn general rules... need help.. it is all here...

Go here for some quick answers to questions your going to have, like scripting, since your new. Though I won't say Tibed is a waste of time. It does show you the basics and you will need to advance beyond this program if your really serious in modding.

[alleylee 0]

use tibed only when you're horrible at organization... it is also very limiting... so not highly recommended.. just copy/paste at the end of the file and it will be fine...

Okay it workt tnx all :lol:

but i still have a weird problem :!:

i now used the building and another building

but at some skirmish maps you don't see the build-up :cry:

And when that does i can't sell it :?: :?: :?:

Don't know if you can add the art build up/down sequence. But you can go to the art.INI section in Tibed to see if you can add/ modify that building. Look at other building's info for a quick reference.

find something like sellable=yes tag...

in wich maps does your building b0rk? Is it snow maps or maps bigger then a certain size or what?

Structures buildup animations require one for each terrain type. You need one for arctic (A), temperate (T), desert (D), lunar (L), urban (U), new urban (N) and generic (G). Basically, you need seven buildups present for the it to work properly.

 

Besides, if they're not all present, the building will pop up immediately and you won't be able to sell it.

I think that its has to do with the kind of map but how do i add or change it it does has snow effects but some other like lunar it doesn't so how do i change that?

[Alphasoldier 0]

i can copy it and then change it's name or something and than add it to ra2md
