in need of a little help

izhe · 05-01-2006, 02:01 AM

I' am working on a mod (for myself) to try and make ZH a little more modern by adding new units and changeing some and takeing out others. It's a mix of mods along with some of my own work and I have been haveing problems getting it to work. The problems I am having some of the command bar buttons aren't comming up and sometimes the game just doesn't load at all giveing me the over heating error. if anyone has ANY ideas on what I can try or do to fix this problem I would really be greatful

Try coding it one unit at a time, one science at a time, etc...it's better to do it slowly than immediete copy-paste of INIs.

Thanks I'll give it a try. Some know problem areas are the CommandSet, ControlBarScheme, and commandbutton inis

are you sure you got all the buttons pasted in the Commandset.ini? Did you make buttons? Do you have any "Prerequisites" for the unit?

I have the buttons in the commandset.ini i have the Prerequisites setup, some of the Icons don't show up right. like my sniper icon doesn't show up but the icon/button that rep.. it is the America Supply Center

ok that means that you didnt not correctly specify the button i believe... for your sniper icon...did you add it yourself, or was it already installed on the game, and you copied name?

I copied the USPathfinder for the most part and then changed the area(s) that I wanted/needed to.. it looks something like this

CommandButton Command_ConstructGDCInfantrySniper
Command = UNIT_BUILD
Object = GDCInfantrySniper
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:GDCInfantrySniper
ButtonImage = IUIIsSnIc
ButtonBorderType = BUILD
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGDCBuildSniper
End

ok...now about the button...does the button have a image specified in the mappedimages folder?

izhe · 05-01-2006, 09:30 PM

Guess I missed that, but that was a problem I had when I made the unit with tibed. My biggest problem is everytime I put the commandset.ini and/or commandbutton.ini in the ini folder it gives me a error. "You have encountered a serious error" Happens evertime
