2 Nukes 1 Silo!!!

Commander-Havoc · 09-13-2003, 04:08 AM

Well i have played around with the Neutron Missile Special Weapon for the past few days.

Made it more powerful, bigger blast, bigger FX.

While playing around i changed the Nuke into the Baikonur Nuke.

Thats right the same weapon GLA uses on the USA at the end of there final mission.

I even tested it and got the same result as the Baikonur (Only 1 warhead tho).

Now this leads me to a most interesting question.

Is it.

1. Possible to add Both Missiles to the Same silo.
2. Possible to change the warhead like the Scud Launcher.
or
3. Possible to add a second silo.

Im a very good ini coder but while trying a few of these i continue to get Technical errors.

Any help from the members of Deezire would be greatly appreciated as i know if anyone can help its my friends here.

1. Just adding the extra special power should work I guess. Don't know though if the handling for the timer (which gets the missile to raise prior to being ready to fire) will work with two timers.

2. No. At least I don't think so. The nuke, I believe, uses a no-damage-type warhead, meaning it does 100% damage no matter what. I'd like to see if it's possible to change this though.

3. Probably. Just copy the existing silo, give it a new name, and edit the stats. Easy. Then make a new commandbutton for it and add it to the dozer command set.

1. Adding a second nuke isnt all that easy its not just adding the weapon to the silo its deuplicating everything and its very hard. I got Tech Error on everything i tried.

2.You can actualy make the Nuke have 0 damage. This is how the Baikonur Nuke works no damage just Chemical blast which i have done and want to add as second Nuke to the Current Silo.

3.Hmmm didnt try that yet it will take alot of doing and to find a mod tag that isnt used.

No...

What I meant was that the nuke has no damage TYPE attached to it (not that I know of anyway), but you CAN adjust the damage itself...

Now just edit the damages, the ocl's for the radiation fields, and you're done.

Only problem with this code is that the nuke door's don't open when the baikur nuke is finished charging, that and if both the missiles charge at the same time, theyll fire from the same launcher... which looks strange.

Umm...I don't mean any offense, but in regards to #3, if you're a 'really good ini coder' wouldn't you know that? That's pretty basic stuff.

If your going to actualy add a new Silo you have to change EVERYTHING around.

You have to redo the Dozer find Mod tags that arnt used. duplicate all exsisting code and hope that you can get the SW tag to add to it.

Generals is Mod friendly. Its like Lego you can build with what you have and keep building but you cant invent a new block or code.

Hence i am a very good ini guy and i know in order to make a new silo with new SW i would have to build with what i have got and not make new code up...

I get what ya mean.

Yes the Neutron Missile has no specific damage type.

Its damage comes from Blast 6 from the unit Neutron Missile.

guyee · 09-13-2003, 01:08 PM

actually... you don't need to find any un-used module tags if youre gonna clone the silo.

Just copy and paste the silo, change it's object name and you're done.

as for the damage, all the blasts that list a damage number do damage.

Commander-Havoc · 09-13-2003, 01:15 PM

Guyee you have some good code there.

Problem i came across was it adds a second missile but when launched no missile actualy leaves the Silo nor hits the target.

It plays the sound effects adds 2nd Icon but does not add the Missile Unit.

I'll have a look and see if i can come up with anything.
