MP mode help

DeeZeL · 05-07-2003, 09:39 PM

hey guyz, sorry for questioning too much but i tried to make a MP mode for ra2 basically it allows you to build more than one weather controller / nuclear missile, i made the rules but when i build the battle lab, only the chronosphere and the iron curtain are displayed

in my xxx.ini mp mode, i added the BuildLimit=0 to bothe weather conroller and nuclear missile structures. so whats the problemo?

Why'd you want 2 nukes and weather storms? I'm not sure , but wouldn't you need to make a duplicate superweapon special in rules? I think the game only allows 1 special at a time.

rofl :lol: sorry

"BuildLimit=0" means that you can only build 0 or none.

What you should have done is put a semicolon in front of "BuildLimit=1"...hmmm...I'm not sure that would work...

; BuildLimit = arbitrary maximum allowed to build [per house] (def=-1 -- no restriction)

so thange it to "BuildLimit=-1"

I've never tried it, but I think they will just charge faster with more buildings, not give you one SW for each SW building.

You're welcome

You'd be surprised how many people don't read the explanation of the majority of the tags that is above where the infantry units are defined.

Actually, neither. A superweapon has a set charge time that only changes in the rules file. The game is hardcoded to only work with a certain amount of superweapon types, (u cant add, only replace) One way to make a second superweapon could be make a duplicate, take away the superweapon tags, and give it a WEAPON (like a prism tower, Primary=) that is exactly like a weather storm, iron curtain, ect... and give it a very long reload rate.
I don't know if it will work for sure. Oh by the way, e-mail me DeeZeL, we are partners in modding and we need to keep in touch to exchange ideas and stuff.

U can have some tricked fake sws with my method "Without replacing" any existing sws

Redattack3 · 05-11-2003, 03:29 AM

yeah, but those dont act like real supers do they? with the button on the sidebar?

U can surely have charging icon and timer with my method, and some of my SWs haven't any weapon code, that means they r really SW.
