i done the tooltip thing but this is where im going wrong somewhere, please help me :'( (its 3:45 am now, i cant go on, if only i had made this work, i would have felt a sence of achievement :'(

[Pestilence]

So let me get this straight the vehicle doesnt build, or the build button doesnt show or the Descript label doesnt show but everything else works fine, could you explain more what is not working as you expected?

[heartless_ali]

ok boss as far as i know, i have made a new unit (cheesy but new) basicly wen i am USA and build a warfactroy there will be another unti to build, the number 6 button i think it will be along side the medic vehcal, but anyway somewhere in the placew where u buy units thereshould be a another picutre of the humvee called CopCar valued at 200 and its basicly a unti u purchase, fights, dies, whatever, but there no button to click the unit aint purcahsed therefore it cant come out of the factory the button simply does not appire in the american warfactory, what did i do wrong??

[jmb8785]

how much you wanna bet he never edited the control button?

jmb8785

[heartless_ali]

dude all u see there is what i edited and a tooltp but thats not imortent it justc oems up when u hover over the button

[jmb8785]

ok heart what exactly si going on, can u play the game or do u get an error, if u get an error, check the releasecrash info

jmb8785

[heartless_ali]

ok the ame loads up fine no crashes, its all good no errors nothing the unit i made aint in the game and it cant be acsesed not purchased

[Pestilence]

ok i see what is not happening here, the build button is placed but does not show the correct pis or shows no pic, and the unit is not built when clicking on the build button.
first i am going to ask where you put every file that you edited all the ini and the w3d you created or edited.

[heartless_ali]

i have not made a new build pic i assumed it would use the humvee one, nor have i edited or used any W3D files, im using one it works beucase i swaped it with the humvee, then swaped it back, anyway i have placed

C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer Generals\Data\INI\weapons.ini

C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer Generals\Data\INI\CommandSet\CommandSet.ini

C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer Generals\Data\INI\Object\FactionUnit.ini

C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer Generals\Data\INI\CommandButton\CommandButton.ini

there are arts like icon i used i litterlycopyed the humvee code and changed the name and then wepons and the locomoto thats it

the 2 folders i highlighted in bold are not needed, just take your Commandbutton.ini and CammandSet.ini and place then in the INI folder, like with the Weapon.ini
So long as you stick with the same build pic names as the humvee this new unit should use them also.
