(Thanks for Flyby for searching.)

so there's nothing for tanks then? are we screwed yet?

[Hostile]

Why can't a turret object be added to a Truckdraw? Unless I'm missing something here.

[DJRowley]

It can (probably) but you won't have the animated tread textures and stuff...

[Hostile]

Well call me lazy, I never used animated treads in my models anyway.

[key0p]

it could be faked anyway.

I found no reference to the "named" ranges anywhere.

I believe this is because the words or phrases are actually defined in a header file.

#ifndef blah
#define blah 5
#endif

Then you would be able to to use blah instead of 5. So you could use this in multiple spots and then change all of them by simply changing blah's value in the header file (.h). This is C code btw.

Animated tread textures have nothing to do with the Tankdraw module.
They are just W3d texture properties.
IIRC, the tankdrawmodule left track imprints on the terrain and added a dustparticlesystem automatically...

<shrugs> - I might have designed a Sci-Fi mod universe, but I designed one without tracked tanks, mwahaha.
I'm flicking through it although I can't find any obvious direct references to old Generals tank stuff, notably turrets. If I find the time, I'll take a deeper look into it.

try opening the game.dat file with notepad and then search it.You should find this approach much easier for finding out what variables etc are available to you, as they group items of a similar nature together in strings - for example, all the conditionstates or all the kindofs will be in a single string.Search for one you find them all.

Well, the gen and zh .dats are like that anyway, I havent looked at bfme
