Custom Upgrades?

FatJoe · 02-21-2003, 01:41 PM

I've made my own custom upgrade.. well.. almost

The thing is I need to assign it to the Chinese airfield but I dont know how.. I added this..

Code:

Upgrade Upgrade_ChinaAircraftBomb
  DisplayName        = UPGRADE:AircraftBomb
  BuildTime          = 30.0
  BuildCost          = 500
  ButtonImage        = SSBlackNapalm
  ResearchSound      = DragonTankVoiceUpgradeBlackNapalmr
End

under ;China Air Field Upgrade in the upgrade.ini file

but I need it to show up on the chinese airfield, and I dont know where I can change it.. I've been searching for it for a while now.. without any luck, so if anyone knows I'd really appreciate it

By the way.. I got my First model unit thing into Generals

At first, like on that pic, it was quite small, hovering over the terrain and flew backwards.

but thats fixed now

Its a BF109 model.. now I just need to make a cameo for it (learn DDS thingy) and put some textures on it. :P

Cheers

You need to edit CommandButton.ini and CommandSet.ini to add them, copy, paste and edit will work

I've already loked through them briefly, care to ask me?

If you would do the same as I did in the INI research threads...

That would be great!

Ok, I will, well, first I will post some stuff here, to help our friend, FatJoe.

Ok, to do what you wan, you would need to do two things, firstly, you need to create your Command Button, copy another upgrade buttons info, like Command_UpgradeChinaNuclearTanks, now, once you've done that, you should instantly see what you need to change, in case you don't though, change the Upgrade = setting to point to your new upgrade and the ButtonImage = to the cameo, after doing that, close CommandButton.ini and open CommandSet.ini.

Now, scroll down to ChinaAirfieldCommandSet and look at the setup,

there are numerated items, each item pointing to an item in CommandButton.ini, add a new line, type a number between 1 and 12 that hasn't already been used in the Set, leaving 3-9 and 11 in the basic Chinese Airfield, button numbering is as in the small diagram at the head of the ini file,

copy the name of your new Command Button from CommandButton.ini to the new Set entry, and save, voila, your button appears in game

It's no problem, I live to help others, or it seems that way in my most melancholy moments
