This post will contain the FactionUnit.ini

This is just a headstart, and isn't complete yet, if it can ever be.

W3DDraw doesnt have to be moduletag 01, thats just convention. ModuleTags, including Behaviours etc should all be numbered in sequence for your object -eg 01, 02, 03 etc, this is what allows the game to 'build' your object and string its functionality together. You can skip numbers, but dont use the same number twice on the same object. W3D Modules for objects (units) are;-

W3DTankDraw=
W3DTruckDraw=
W3DTankTruckDraw=
W3DSupplyDraw=
W3DScienceModelDraw=
W3DRopeDraw=
W3DProjectileStreamDraw=
W3DPoliceCarDraw=
W3DOverlordTankDraw=
W3DModelDraw=
W3DLaserDraw=
W3DDefaultDraw=
W3DTracerDraw=

The one you use depends on the design of (including bones) of your model and its Behaviour modules.

from what you've posted here. i see generals is graphically intensive. every detail is to be parsed like the damage stuff and also the climbing logic for infantry. too bad, RA2 and YR doesn't support climbing logic for infantry.

[RVMECH]

EditorSorting What is the object? Choices are: SYSTEM, INFANTRY, VEHICLE, DEBRIS, MISC_MAN_MADE and STRUCTURE (DO NOT CHOOSE THIS ONE IF YOU ARE MAKING A PLAYABLE OBJECT! ONLY CHOOSE THIS WHEN YOU KNOW WHY YOU WANT IT!!!)

You'll need to parse it if you want to view it in WB. There is also one other option for the flag...NONE

[DeeZire]

Yep, the game itself is more closely integrated with WB than RA2 was with FA2 - the Name= statement in RA2 was useless, but FA2 used it for object sorting as FA2 did not read the CSF file - its a similar deal here.

You missed out MISC_NATURAL, AUDIO, WAYPOINT and TEST - those would not be used for player objects but are parsed for WB sorting purposes.

More will be clear when tutorials arrive - its difficult to establish the bigger picture by drilling into the one file

[kornlord283]

I am new to the Deezire forums, some of you may know me from AR2 forums. I need some Generals INIs and help with them as I am new the Generals moding. PM me and Ill give you my email then you can send me the INIs. If you do send me them, Ill put you in the upcoming AR3 credits.

Everybody isnew to Generals modding

And the INI files for now wouldn't be that great, we only have the beta versions now, and we do not know what is and what isn't parsed anymore :tard:

[Godwin]

interesting....

[kornlord283]

k then ill just wait for generals to come out
