FOr the rest, search these forums, damn it!

Hi,

I have been trying to add Carpet Bombing as a Generals Power, but so far it doesn't work (Generals won't start). I have looked through every *.ini file that seems like it might have something to do with it. I have tried everything I can think of, but to no prevail. I searched the forums too, but I didn't find anything. Can someone help me get this working (if it is possible to add new Generals Powers)? I'll post all the code that I have changed or I think has something to do with Carpet Bombing (I'm trying to make it deploy from the American Command Center like the other powers).

FactionBuilding.ini
American CC

Behavior = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_23;this has been removed from everywhere but the ChinaAirfield in CHI05
SpecialPowerTemplate = SuperweaponCarpetBomb
OCL = SUPERWEAPON_CarpetBomb
CreateLocation = CREATE_AT_EDGE_NEAR_SOURCE

CommandButton.ini
I didn't change any of this.

;Not actually used in-game, left in to allow for use in solo missions. - DB 9/02
CommandButton Command_CarpetBomb
Command = SPECIAL_POWER
SpecialPower = SuperweaponCarpetBomb
Options = NEED_SPECIAL_POWER_SCIENCE NEED_TARGET_POS CONTEXTMODE_COMMAND
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:CarpetBomb
ButtonImage = SSCarpetBomb
RadiusCursorType = CARPETBOMB
InvalidCursorName = GenericInvalid
ButtonBorderType = ACTION ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:TooltipCarpetBomb
End

;Not actually used in-game, left in to allow for use in solo missions. - DB 9/02
CommandButton Command_CarpetBombFromCommandCenter
Command = SPECIAL_POWER_FROM_COMMAND_CENTER
SpecialPower = SuperweaponCarpetBomb
Options = NEED_SPECIAL_POWER_SCIENCE NEED_TARGET_POS CONTEXTMODE_COMMAND
TextLabel = OBJECT:CarpetBomb
ButtonImage = SSCarpetBomb
RadiusCursorType = CARPETBOMB
InvalidCursorName = GenericInvalid
;ButtonBorderType = ACTION ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:TooltipCarpetBomb
End

CommandButton Command_PurchaseScienceCarpetBomb
Command = PURCHASE_SCIENCE
Science = SCIENCE_CarpetBomb
ButtonImage = SAPathfinder1;For testing because I didn't bother to look for the carpet bombing icon
ButtonBorderType = UPGRADE
End

CommandSet.ini
Added CarpetBomb to the lists.

CommandSet AmericaCommandCenterCommandSet
1 = Command_ConstructAmericaDozer
3 = Command_CarpetBomb
5 = Command_A10ThunderboltMissileStrike
6 = Command_Paradrop
7 = Command_SpyDrone
8 = Command_EmergencyRepair
9 = Command_DaisyCutter
10 = Command_SpySatelliteScan
11 = Command_SetRallyPoint
12 = Command_Sell
End

; Rank 3 assign buttons to position like so:
; 1 4 7 10
; 2 5 8 11
; 3 6 9 12
CommandSet SCIENCE_AMERICA_CommandSetRank3
1 = Command_PurchaseSciencePathfinder
3 = Command_PurchaseScienceCarpetBomb
4 = Command_PurchaseScienceParadrop1
5 = Command_PurchaseScienceParadrop2

9 = Command_PurchaseScienceA10ThunderboltMissileStrike 3
10 = Command_PurchaseScienceEmergencyRepair1
11 = Command_PurchaseScienceEmergencyRepair2
12 = Command_PurchaseScienceEmergencyRepair3
END

ObjectCreationList.ini
Added "FormationSize = 2"

ObjectCreationList SUPERWEAPON_CarpetBomb
DeliverPayload
Transport = AmericaJetB52
StartAtPreferredHeight = Yes
StartAtMaxSpeed = Yes
FormationSize = 2
MaxAttempts = 1
DropOffset = X:0 Y:0 Z:-2
DropVariance = X:30 Y:40 Z:0
DropDelay = 300 ;500 ; time in between each item dropped (if more than one)
Payload = CarpetBomb 20
DeliveryDistance = 400
DeliveryDecalRadius = 100
DeliveryDecal
Texture = SCCA10Strike_USA
Style = SHADOW_ALPHA_DECAL
OpacityMin = 25%
OpacityMax = 50%
OpacityThrobTime = 500
Color = R:255 G:156 B:0 A:255
OnlyVisibleToOwningPlayer = Yes
End
End
End

Science.ini
Added "SCIENCE_CarpetBomb"

Science SCIENCE_CarpetBomb
PrerequisiteSciences = SCIENCE_AMERICA SCIENCE_Rank3
SciencePurchasePointCost = 1
IsGrantable = Yes
DisplayName = SCIENCE:CarpetBomb
Description = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipCarpetBomb
End

SpecialPower.ini
Tweaked the CarpetBomb superweapon.

SpecialPower SuperweaponCarpetBomb
Enum = SPECIAL_CARPET_BOMB
ReloadTime = 150 ; in milliseconds (for testing)
RequiredScience = SCIENCE_CarpetBomb;;; Never ever ever use a required science with a public timer, since the hiddenbyscience never clears
PublicTimer = No
SharedSyncedTimer = Yes
ViewObjectDuration = 40000
ViewObjectRange = 250
RadiusCursorRadius = 100
End

I hope somone can help me!

I think you forgot to state the Power as a button you can select.

[Hyperjag3]

I looked around some more, but I don't know what you mean. Like, I'm not sure what *.ini file it is in and I didn't see anything like that on the other powers. Could you explain better please?

[Sponge]

Can anyone re-enable the Terror Cell special power for the GLA? Please post instructions here!

Can anyone make a mod for me?

Please fill in this form (7 duplicates) , get it signed by your local birth registration office and approved by the fireman commander. A life insurance policy and a drivers licence are compulsory to be accepted....

Flyby, most of it's done already. It's only a few INI refinements really, but I think it adds something fun to the game. I've finally added the carpet bombing to the USA airfield (can anyone give me some pointers on how to get an icon at the side of the screen for it like for A10 missile strike, etc?) but would like to add Terror Cell for the GLA (maybe Defector fo China if it can be made to work). If anyone can give any pointers to help me in the right direction (perhaps add a tutorial on this site or a section in the generals encyclopaedia) please post here. While full instructions would be nice, most people here seem to have the same attitude to that request as they would if I asked for warez (which I won't do, my stuff is original).

One other thing, Flyby, would a letter signed by my mother be acceptable instead? :lol: :lol:

While I was trying to solve my problem I foulnd this:
CommandSet.ini

;///////////////////////////////////////
;/ Special Power Shortcut Command Sets /
;///////////////////////////////////////
;A max of 5 controls are supported at this time

CommandSet SpecialPowerShortcutUSA
3 = Command_A10ThunderboltMissileStrikeFromCommandCent er
2 = Command_ParadropFromCommandCenter
1 = Command_SpyDroneFromCommandCenter
4 = Command_EmergencyRepairFromCommandCenter
5 = Command_DaisyCutterFromCommandCenter
END

CommandSet SpecialPowerShortcutChina
1 = Command_ClusterMinesFromCommandCenter
2 = Command_ArtilleryBarrageFromCommandCenter
3 = Command_CashHackFromCommandCenter
4 = Command_EmergencyRepairFromCommandCenter
5 = Command_EMPPulseFromCommandCenter
END


CommandSet SpecialPowerShortcutGLA
1 =Command_AmbushFromCommandCenter
2 =Command_EmergencyRepairFromCommandCenter
3 =Command_AnthraxBombFromCommandCenter
END

It says that only 5 slots are supported, so you would have to remove another one to do it (or more than 5 might work. Only one way to find out).

[TheFirstEvil]

Errr, minor problem.

I done what you said.

The icon shows up, you can click it, you get the big orange target circle..... but you also get the little red "You cant use it now" circle so, well, you cant use it.

[Goketa]

I cant get any to work i cant even get the airfield 1 to work
