couple of tibed related questions

[mschol 0]

got a couple of questions:

1 i copyed a building (one without a cameo) and edited the enty's in rules.ini and art.ini to have a cameo..

but in tibed it is still showing "missing cameo"

why?

 

2 i'd like to make a different model for the building.. but how do i assign it to the building? (i can find a "how to" to make the model probably)

 

3 i want to add more colors to the skirmish play option

is that possible?

 

hehe whoops forgot to mention something:

editing red alert 2 + addon (first decade edition)

TibEd tries to mimick the game. So the question is, does it work in-game? If it doesn't work in-game either, you probably didn't set the cameo properly (somehow).

Buildings in RA2 have the SHP format. XCC Mixer can convert PCX and other images from/to SHP format, see http://xccu.sourceforge.net

Good question... I think the colors that are currently there are "fixed": you can probably not add extra colors. But you can change the existing colors.

As for the colors, there's a tutorial that Creagor made, if you're up to doing a little exe hacking

TB...

 

1. Thats for TS

2. It does not add colours.

 

You can not add colours to any of the games by default... But, IIRC, RockPatch or NPatch allows you to add them using a new system.

Woops, I thought he meant modifying the existing colors.. :roll:
