Recommended Posts

Guest Dan

Hi, im currently giving the soviets a bomber, i used the tutorial i found on page 3 of this website to make the weapon and copied the entries exactly. when i try to build the plane with this weapon the game crashes, but if i dont give it the weapon, it works fine. does anyone know whats wrong? is there another bomber tutorial i should use? :?

Odd. Maybe the warhead needs to be adding in the WH list.

 

[Warhead]

106=BombWH

 

I really don't know why this would cause a crash. :(

I changed the harrier's Primary=Bomb and then used what was posted and everything worked. I'm scratching my head on why it will not work for you.

The weapon is basicly like the hornets weapon. Except for the art and speed. I compared both of the weapons and it should be working.

See it...

Change the tag to "Primary=Bomb". The weapon must be typed like it's ini entry to be read. So no caps for the last three letters. This goes for all weapons. :)

lol it still doesnt work, i think im gonna give up and give the soviets sumthin else like a MIG or sumthin, although ive already given the allies the MIG (in allied scheme colours ofcourse).

 

Ive got some new ideas that i could use some help with, im trying to make 3 new unique units to the game which could really help make my mod unique, ive got everything ready on all 3 but theres just a few problems, hope u guys can help:

 

1) Allied Propaganda Truck

Remember the truck from the soviet mission where u hav to defned the battle lab? the one that would drive around persuading civilians to join the the allied cause? Well ive made a multiplayer version, its effectively mind control, but it only works on infantry, my problem lies with the sound, ive copied the propaganda truck's ambient noises but they dont seem to play. i really want these in here as i feel it gives the unit a uniqueness. This would be really good if it worked as ive made every civilian useful in some way, some can be used as engineers,soldiers,spies and medics.

 

2) Car Jackers

As with the civilians Ive made every single civilian vehicle in yr have a purpose, some can be used as transports, others can be used as car bombs. Ive got the vehicle hijacker ready but he doesnt get in the vehicles when selected, he just stands next to them, ive selected VehicleThief=Yes in TibEd yet it doesnt work, now i know this is possible becos ive seen it in mods so any ideas what im doing wrong?

 

3) Secret Service

Ive activated the secret service agent for the allies, the idea is that when he kills infantry, he disguises himself as them so that the enemy cannot tell who is killing their forces! ive made a warhead by copying the snapshot warhead, but edited it so that it kills infantry instead, however it doesnt kill infantry when used! once again what am i doing wrong? or is this not possible in the game?

 

Thanks for all your help, Dan

Bomber) Change Primary=BOMB to Primary=Bomb.

 

1) The Propaganda Truck's souns were removed in Yuri's Revenge. You will have to extract them from Red Alert 2.

 

2) You need Thief=yes and VehicleThief=yes. Disguise=yes and PermaDisguise=yes are even better.

 

3) Cannot be done. You can't have them disguise AND shoot infantry. It doesn't work that way.

Actually... you can make secret agents, you just need double pistol as secondary and make up for primary.. with 1 big problem, your guy needs to be within double pistol's range to kill and you automatically change picture, and it is a bit screwy... i am not 100 percent sure because i was testing something for fun and never experimented with it... you might want to make make up kit like 50-15 range, as primary and make double pistol 14-0 range. THat way you got like 2 weapon ranges so they don't overload each other.

1. AmbientSound=PropagandaTruck ; This worked for me.

 

2. If you try those tags Fenring mentioned and the unit still stands there try this...

Add the VirtualScanner weapon as a primary or secondary. Sometimes for units that have a extremely close weapon have a hard time targeting it. This might help.

 

3. You could create a WH that targets the flak and plate armor. Then another WH to target the none armor.

The good thing is the unit could kill normal infantry units and target the flak and plate armored units with the snapshot effect.

Bad news is it cant kill units with the better armor. (Ex. Tesla Troopers and Tanya)

 

Edit/Added:

Using what was posted everything worked fine. After about an hour of messing with the rules I've only come up with one more thought. Now I just have one question... Did you place BombP in the projectile section? If the weapon has no graphics to follow this will cause the crash. Other than that I'm sorry but I have no clue why it will not work for you.
