Some Help with Marauder Upgrade

Mishkin · 10-11-2003, 12:05 AM

Hi, it's me again, Mishkin, the new dude that wants to mod some cool stuff.

Anyways, since I am new to modding, I will have many questions, and I really hope that you people don't mind.

Anyways on to the question. I tried giving the Marauder Tank a sentry-drone gun upgrade. The problem is that while it works, and the Marauder gets upgraded, nothing changes, he doesn't even fire the sentry-drones machinegun. I know I am missing something in the GLAVehicle.INI, but I don't know what. Can somebody please help me out here? Also, How do I make the sentry-drone gun prphically appear in the game? Do I just add some lines to the INI's, or do I have to remodel the whole unit in gmax or some other 3d editing program?

Here's what I got so far, I know this is along post, but please bear with me...

Didn't change anything there, since the sentry-drone upgrade already there.

Since I made the upgrade purchusable in the Palace.

Thx again all, and I would REALLY appreciate it, if somebody gave me some help. I hate GLAVehicle because it's so confusing (to me anyways)

:/

Kaldak · 10-11-2003, 03:22 AM

well, just to let you know the way you currently have it, it will loose the gun when it upgrades itself with rubble....

tip: you can actually create new ini files if you want. Any ini files in the correct directories will be read. I put all of my modified/new units in files i created so that its easier to keep track of them.....files like GLAVehicle get very long and annoying....

as for the actual problem at hand....do you see the upgrade actually building? does it tell you something has been upgraded when it finishes? i know i had a problem with my hover tank upgrade where i would click on the upgrade button and nothing would happen...it was because the upgrade wasnt being built, not because the upgrade wasnt working....i cant remember exactly what caused this, but i'll post it when i think of it

Mishkin · 10-11-2003, 12:16 PM

The upgrade works fine. I click on it from the Palace, the upgrade gets "built", and at the end, at the left top of the screen it says, the sentry-drone upgrade has been enabled. But the marauder doesnt do anything differently, he just fires the same old weapon he had before the upgrade, I want the marauder to fire the old weapon AND the sentry-drone gun at the same time.

Also you know, when you click on a unit, and it shows its upgrades by its picture? Well, it shows the sentry-drone gun upgrade there too.

Finally all I know is that something is wrong in the GLAVehicle.INI.

Mishkin · 10-11-2003, 01:20 PM

Crap, editing is so annoying. But once you get something working, its so cool.

Anyways, I tried giving the sentry-drone gun to the battlemaster tank, but sadly, and to my enragement, the game didnt start, and gave me the infamous error at the CD-Serial number check screen.

Something is totally going on here.

The_Blind_One · 10-11-2003, 02:40 PM

Whell if i hear you correctly you want to give the marauder a machine gun next to its main gun right?

If so did you check the humvee TOW missile upgrade code to see how it works, now USE the the humvee code and rename the things and (you know what i mean) and then make a button for it and it should work fine.

This is because there are different upgrades.

I mean you have upgrades that effect only one unit and needs to be bought sereratly and you got upgrades that effect ALL units.

Use the tow missile upgrade logic and check your weaponset code again.

AND 2 do you want the turret to control weapon SECONDARY?

If so make it in the TURRETAIUPDATE to also have controlledweaponslots = SECONDARY

And last but not least have the machine gun have some preference like with comanche vulcans and hellfire missiles.

Okey that should do it i did it myself and its really easy once you get the hang of it.

As you can see, I think the weaponset are right.

Can you or somebody else please better explain the TURRETAIUPDATE to me. Where is it, and wha lines do I add?

If you don't want to help me out, then The_Blind_One can you atleast paste the INI like you did here, cause u said it worked.

The_Blind_One · 10-11-2003, 10:54 PM

Okey dude i will try it out myself.

I will be back in about 30 minutes and its god damn late here so you better be thankfull

as its 5 o clock in the morning and i havnt had school and i am only 14 years old.

Okey trying out right now.

The_Blind_One · 10-11-2003, 11:07 PM

Okey dude.

I tryed it.

and it works perfectly with me. :lol:
Ohhh and i noticed that you DONT have to do anything to the turretai because the marauder doesnt make use of a turret lol

oops i kinda forgot that.

Did it ever occur to you that. :/

A. if you use a general and not standard GLA that it wont work because they use a different marauder tank. :tard:

B. Did you place it even in the right folder? :scared: (if your a compleet noob)

C. If all of that doesnt work, use this code i will past it below.

AND USE NORMAL GLA NOT A GENERAL WHEN TESTING IT.

NOTE: I DELETED THE NEED FOR THE SCIENCE MARAUDER FOR TEST PURPOSE

Hey,

Well, you did it kind of right. You see I want it to fire its maraudertankgun, and then when I upgrade it with the sentry-drone gun from the palace, it will fire them both at the same time. You did it without the upgrade.

Now I realize you cant devote all of your time to helping me. But if you have free time (which you probably dont) please try it like I told yu with the upgrade. It doesnt work with the damn upgrade, although Im close to making i work.

And yes, I know that the different generals units and buildings are TOTALLY different units and buildings from the "Vanilla" Sides.

You're 14, Im 15, all i can say is sorry about delaying you from sleep, and thx for all the help you gave me so far.

It aint that hard, you got msn or sumthing?

Mine is deeno89@hotmail.com

Contact me for any ini questions.

I'll be online.

And if you really cant figure it out yourself ill send you the file with everything on it

But your really need to try it out for yourself.

Why?

Not that i am lazy or anything, but you really learn something from doing it yourself.
