Renegade Orca In Generals/ZH

Redeemer · 02-09-2004, 05:33 AM

Okay, i've had my first bit of success - I replaced the Comanche with the Orca (and did the same thing with the Crusader ---> M1A1)
But what i really wanna do is add them both as completly separate units...
I tried it with the Orca by copying the Comanche's code but the button won't appear (I'm sure everybody's heard this before)
Could someone please look through the code & find the errors?
P.S could someone make an icon for the Orca & M1A1?

Could someone help please? i'd like to be able to mod this game but if I can't recognise such simple errors i've no doubt overlooked then I may as well give up now...

guyee · 02-09-2004, 11:41 AM

are you sure you added them to the right general's air field (if this is ZH)?

Can't really think of anything else

Redeemer · 02-09-2004, 11:45 AM

Yeah, i just copied the code for all the Comanche sections and besides a few misc changes (i.e unit health) I only changed the title of each section to AVOrca.
I loaded Generals up on its own and nothing changed - yet when i just added model in a new BIG (before i changed the name from AVComanche to AVOrca) file it replaced the Comanche model with the Renegade Orca no probs...

Redeemer · 02-09-2004, 01:34 PM

C'mon everyone I really need help here!
Could someone try & find out why the code isn't working?

2312222 · 02-09-2004, 01:49 PM

What happens exactly?

Your Orca just doesn't show up?

Is there any error message?

Redeemer · 02-09-2004, 02:28 PM

It doesn't show up at all, no errors occur and no build icon appears at the airfield, try using the code i sent in the 1st post and see if you can correct find the problem...

2312222 · 02-09-2004, 03:36 PM

Code:

DefaultConditionState 
Model = AVOrca 
HideSubObject = MissileUpgrade 
;Animation = AVComanche.AVComanche 
;AnimationMode = LOOP 
WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY TurretFX 
WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY Muzzle 
WeaponFireFXBone = SECONDARY Muzzle 
WeaponLaunchBone = SECONDARY Muzzle 
End

Remove the AVComanche animations and the AnimationMode line.

Check whether you really use the right building to create the Orca.

Do you use Zero Hour, if so make sure you select the correct faction when you start your game.

If there would be a real problem the game would crash.

Final hint to check for errors open up WorldBuilder, it will most likely tell you where there are errors.

cya, HEXman

Cpl_Facehugger · 02-09-2004, 04:10 PM

Did you add the command button to the airfield?

Redeemer · 02-09-2004, 04:56 PM

Thanks 2312222, I'll try all that now
and yeah Cpl_Facehugger I did make sure to add the command button to the airfield, but this time around i'm gonna double check everything...
