If you can find the bug, you will earn my undying gratefulness (and if you're at Slepnir Stuff, a few kel).

The Game serious errors out on loading with this message.

Thanks.

This may be a longshout but i think it is because it is AmericaVehicleCargoPlane not AmericaJetCargoPlane

[LtZack]

I suggest make a new infantry based on the Chinook as it carries units (just cut the harvest stuff) that should make it work better.

[Kyp678]

This code has been pissing me off to no end........... Goketa, I tried your suggestion, renaming everything, I still get this error- Release Crash at Thu Apr 17 19:16:04 2003

[Tebrey]

okay, names have nothing to do with it. You could call it BigDaddy and it would still work if it was going to.

Check the interdepance of the other files. Have you made a commandset for it? You CANNOT call on anything that you have not declared yet.

Try changing your kind of to this:
KindOf = PRELOAD CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS SELECTABLE VEHICLE TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT SCORE

Also, you need to give it a TAXI locomotor if you want it to be able to take off.

Locomotor = SET_TAXIING BasicJetTaxiLocomotor

Did you really mean to give it a cost of 12000?

This could help it too:

Behavior = JetAIUpdate ModuleTag_07
OutOfAmmoDamagePerSecond = 10%
TakeoffSpeedForMaxLift = 100%
TakeoffPause = 500
MinHeight = 5
ReturnForAmmoLocomotorType = SET_NORMAL
ReturnToBaseIdleTime = 10000
End

[mastermind2003]

Kyp, did that work on yours? I tried it, but it doesn't work. Check it out.

[Sleepyguy]

I haven't modded cnc so far, but the error is maybe one of the ModuleTags ???
Shouldn't they be in a increasing row of numbers ?!?

Behavior = TransportContain ModuleTag_10
Slots = 10
DamagePercentToUnits = 100%
ScatterNearbyOnExit = No
OrientLikeContainerOnExit = Yes
KeepContainerVelocityOnExit = Yes
ExitPitchRate = 30

*adds line-by-line ini debugger to wish list* (i.e. VB where it HILITES where ya messed up)

Tried both suggestions, still won't load the game, same error.

Tebrey, it's gotta cost a lot, ya don't want too many of these flying around Besides, I have stuff in mind to limit it to 2 of this type- large aircraft.

Putting the module tags in order may look nice and neat, but it still doesn't help make the code work.....

[Hot_Trout]

Is it to do with the fact that there's a PutInContainer parachute yet parachutes is not among the allowed transportables?

[MetalSyren]

Sorry Kyp I wish I could help I poured over the code for several hours matching it against others and cant find it (the error). But you got my hopes ya find it soon.
