I just wanted to ask if its possible to clone bones from one tank to another? i imported a boned dragon tank into Ren-x then imported my new flame tank model... i cloned all the bones in the turret and moved them to my model...

when i loaded the model in Generals the game crashed...

[Tebrey]

yes you can clone bones with no problems. I have not seen anything you can do with a model to make the game crash. Are you sure it was the model and not the code?

[Henford]

Maybe you cloned a unit in factionunit.ini for your new unit and have not correctly stated the bones, but the again that usually wont cause it to crash.
Check if the unit in FactionUnit.ini doesnt have any ExtraPublicBones defined that do not exist, as this would stuff everything. These are healvily depended on with complex artillery units that have deployed and undeployed states as they usually have 2 turrets and one is kept hidden.
Also, make sure your bones have export geometry off and export transform on.
But you should refer to the file "ReleaseCrashInfo" in your My Documents/Command and Conquer Generals Data Folder.

So if i understand correctly... i can import the dragon tank from Generals then clone its bones into my new model and then it will fire a flamethrower in the game from its barrel instead of from its tracks...

[Henford]

no no no, just create a bone where you want the flame to come out and link it to the barrel and then name it MUZZLE01, then in factionunit make sure the Weapon Launch Bone is set as MUZZLE01 and the waepon is set as the Flame Weapon

It's just your weel's axis that are set incorrectly, so the weels rotate around the wrong axis.

Look at a model (AVHummer for example) and see how the wheels axis are set. Use the LOCAL axis mode to see object's axis and not the view's axis.

Take your model, select one wheel. Go to "Hierarchy tab", click "Affect Pivot only". Now, you can align the weels axis to make it look as the hummer one.

Good luck. You can send me your RenX file if you want me to do it.

i have tryed with gmax but i can better send you the model in W3D i have only the W3D file but can i get your mail ?? than i can send it to you :tard:

[Romlel]
