Why is it a random cameo?

Ender · 10-19-2003, 11:12 PM

I dunno if this is easy to solve, or if I will need to give a whole lot more information, but here's the basics:
I have made a few new units that build from a new building I made. That all works fine. In fact, everything is fine except that one for one of the units the button you click to build it has a random picture - it has had GLA Palace, RPG Trooper, etc. I made my own button pictures for all of the new units, and all but this one work. The unit still has the right text, money etc and builds the right unit, but the button is wrong!

Thanks

im guessing that you didnt refer to the cameo properly, check your spelling.

Nooo, I'm pretty sure that that part is right.

Quote:

CommandButton Command_ConstructUsedCar
Command = UNIT_BUILD
Object = UsedCar
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructUsedCar
ButtonImage = UsedCar50
ButtonBorderType = BUILD ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipBuildUsedCar
End

And the image is called UsedCar50, in the same folder as the button images for all the other units I have made (which work).

You also need to change the picture in the FactionUnit.ini and/or in the FactionBuilding.ini

I think you didnt specify it in the mapped images ini since the buttonimage = something is pointing to that of a section in one of the mapped images ini.

yeah, if you throw all of your cameos together into one tga file, you can use Gen Cameo Mapper to map the images together. Gen Cameo Mapper has an easy to use point and click, so mapping your images is quite easy.

Or use the "Generals Editor", quite a little comfartabler to edit images !

I got have got it in FactionUnit.ini. I haven't specified it in the mapped images ini, but I didn't specify any of the others in that (whatever it is :/ ) either, and they work :tard: .
So aah dunno, some kindaa contraaption, mebbe.

By the way all, go get the Halo PC online multiplayer demo:

I don't suggest using Cameo mapper to edit them, just to generate the ini file with the coordinates.
