generals / zerohour

Kaine · 07-20-2005, 04:03 AM

all questions are for both parts generals and zh ... i would be happy if you could post some codes here..

is there one way to create a special power which steals (lets say about 4000 $ of) his owner money and transfer it to the target enemy? e.g. drop it from plane?

another sticky problem this time only generals:
i tried many ways to let a building be stealthed after u buy a update but it doesnt worked... is it possible to do something like that ? =)

did anybody could please tell me how i can create a installer for generals like dee did for his mod about some 2 versions ago?

how can i edit all the start/loading pages of generals?

First thing look at cash hack code!

Second: Building.ini

Code:

;Engeneering parameter
...
  Behavior = StealthUpdate ModuleTag_27
    StealthDelay                = 2500 ; msec
    StealthForbiddenConditions  = ATTACKING USING_ABILITY TAKING_DAMAGE
    MoveThresholdSpeed          = 3
    InnateStealth               = No ;Requires upgrade first
    OrderIdleEnemiesToAttackMeUponReveal  = Yes
  End

  Behavior = StealthUpgrade ModuleTag_28
    TriggeredBy = Upgrade_CamoNettingforstructures
  End
...
End

Then in Upgrade.ini

Code:

Upgrade Upgrade_CamoNettingforstructures
  DisplayName        = UPGRADE:CamoNetting
  Type               = OBJECT
  BuildTime          = 2.5
  BuildCost          = 250
  ButtonImage        = SUcamo
  ResearchSound      = RPGTrooperVoiceUpgradeCamoNetting
End

Than in CommandButton.ini:

Code:

CommandButton Command_UpgradeCamoNettingStructure
  Command           = OBJECT_UPGRADE
  Upgrade           = Upgrade_CamoNettingforstructures
  Options           = OK_FOR_MULTI_SELECT
  TextLabel         = CONTROLBAR:UpgradeGLACamoNetting
  ButtonImage       = SUcamo
  ButtonBorderType  = UPGRADE ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
  DescriptLabel           = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGLACamoNetting
;  UnitSpecificSound = BombTruckVoiceModeHiEx
End

Than Commandset.ini:

Code:

CommandSet YourBuildingCommandSet
  1 = Command_UpgradeCamoNettingStructure
  13 = Command_Stop
  14 = Command_Sell
End

Start loading Screen:

In your generals directory is an image called Launcher that can you replace.

thank you maybe you could help me out with another problem ^^
if i replace the picture nothing happen... =(

stealth problem could not be solved i took your code and pasted it of course i did the changes from your bulidng.ini into the warlord.ini i dunno whats wrong if i grant it like jarmen kell then generals has no problems... in zerohour it worked but i still need such a code fro gen =(

>>>>>; Reason Error parsing INI file 'Data\INI\Object\Warlord.ini' (Line: 'Object GLAWLCommandCenter ')<<<<<<< (infos are blank)

for generals some more questions

can i copy - paste the code of scrambler into ccg or need i something to change in its code? - same for the gla tunnelnetwork ability

some questions from my friend:

is somewhere a good tut about ai scripting for generals? i always find only some scripts but they dont explain how to make one.

is there a way to make the symbols of the buildings smaller so that you can put more of them into the displayed interface?

for example in generals there are 2 x 6 symbols and in zerohour 2 x 7 i would to make a 2 x 8 cells navigator.

Kulturbanause · 07-20-2005, 09:41 AM

Do you mean the Load screen in skirmish mode??

Commandset can not be changed i think

AI scripts iam searchin too but its hard to find...for generals i don´t know. Zero Hour has only the advanced AI Mod i think??

Maybe an other ini coder will help you

Kaine · 07-20-2005, 11:51 AM

the scrambler thing:
no, it uses the "GrantStealthBehavior" which wasn't available in Gen.

SmokeyDaBear · 07-20-2005, 09:37 PM

Replace launcher and INSTALL_FINAL in the generals directory with your picture.

Kulturbanause · 07-21-2005, 02:47 AM
