Unit Caption Problems

a_katbi17 · 04-22-2003, 07:17 PM

OK, i created an air unit. In works properly and everything, no bugs or crashes. But, when i move my mouse over the cameo, it shows $1500 only, no name at all, just a blank line. When i move my mouse over the harrier cameo, It says: Harrier $1200. I think i did everything i need to for rulesmd, artmd, and ra2md.csf, but i dont know what the problem is. I can post the code if you like, just ask.

Please help!!!

could you tell us what you entered into RA2md.csf and what you specified as UINAME= in the rules.ini please.

Did you put anything in your new string file entry?

Using stredit, i opened up ra2md.csf and added a new unit.
There i put:

name:su25
Additional content: MiG 29 Fulcrum

For rulesmd.ini, :
;aircraft types
...
13=SU25
...
[SU25]
UINAME=Name:SU25
...

additional content should not be changed.

i'm sorry.
It wasnt additional data, it was just content.
There it Says MiG 29 Fulcrum, But the game doesnt show it in the caption.

Try making it the same case (i.e. Name:SU25 should be exactly Name:SU25, case-sensitive).

Now the game is going crazy on me.
I changed it to the exact way its written in rules, and my unit disppeared from the list on the side, only the harrier is left. So, I changed it back to all lowrecase, like the rest of the name:xxx tags in the .csf file. Now, it says "Missing Cameo" on the side bar, thei is no caption, and once my unit is created, the game exits immediately, no warning.

I dont know what i did. I just changed the string and now its messed up somehow. All the other units and everything else work just fine, bt the MiG 29, my created unit, doesnt.

Please help!

Probably ur yr got corrupted. try re-installing.

I reinstalled it, and set-up my unit again and the same thing happens: No name in caption, missing cameo, and it crashes as soon as the unit is created with no warning.

Couyld have something to do with xcc mixer 1.25? I read that 1.22 to 1.25 cause problems in Windows 98, which is what i have.
