Mod compiling error?

[Silveressa 0]

Hi I recently downloaded the SDK and wanted to test the functionality by creating a very simple mod, one that makes Nod cranes cost only 100 credits (not balanced I know but this was to test the functionality of the mod compliter before I set to work modding)

 

Following all the instructions in the documentation I then tried to compile the mod and got the following errors

The onlything I changed in the crane xml file was the cost of the crane from 1500 to 100.

 

Can I please get some assistance on where I'm going wrong? This is incredibly frustrating.

The NodCrane.XML file is invalid... that is what it complains about. The missing files errors you can ignore.

Okay that makes sense, but what causedit to become invalid?

 

I used a copy of the nodcrane.xml file from the sdk directory

 

MOD SDKCnC3XmlNODStructures

 

I even attempted to do a build using the default nod crane file without even modding it and still got the same

Does this mean my copy of the SDK (version 2) is corrupt? or do I need to download "valid" copies off all the xml files from some other source? Or is it a special line needs to be entered in any modded files in order for them to be considered "valid?"

[Koen 2]

See, I do not know exactly what is wrong... but I think you have introduced a syntax error somehow (somewhere in an include statement?). I myself use TibEd 2 for C&C3 (experimental): http://www.tibed.net/download?tibed2cnc3 ... and there it works for me (Nod Crane can be found in Full Asset ListGame ObjectNODCrane). I get no compilation errors after changing the cost.

Thanks a million for the link, I'll give it a try and hopefully be able to get to work with some actual modding later on today, 8)

[Silveressa 0]

Okay i installed the tib ed2 form the link you provided, however when I run it to mod C&C 3 the only race that;s appears is the scrin.

 

Do i need to download addaional files form somewhere to be able to edit gdi and nod?

[Koen 2]

The other items can be found under "Full Asset List", and then "GameObject". There is a full list.

I have to add all units manually to the 'normal' list (but I have to look up the real names then, which is a lot of tedious work). Which I am doing right now

[Silveressa 0]

Thanks again for the prompt replies

If you do not like the black color scheme in the XML editor, you should redownload. It now has a new color scheme with a white background. However, I haven't added the GDI/Nod objects yet.
