Part 2 on putting a new voxel into the game help

bullethead · 06-02-2003, 09:06 AM

Ok I know I have another thread started with this but this is kinda a little differnt of a topic. Ive been doing everything, I MEAN EVERYTHING, and I cant 1. get the tank to show up, 2. Theres no cameo. Nothing. ive been spending close to 24 hours just to put this crappy tank in the game that really isnt worth this time but it will help later on once I figure out what to do.

Now here is what Im asking of you guys. My tank is pretty shitty so Im not gonna worry about anyone taking it. So if anyone wants to get the .vxl file and the rules.ini and art.ini files from me and try to put it in there game to help me out more that would be greatly appreciated. If you ask I will give in the next post. thanks again for everyones help I have learned alot.

Make sure the new tank is on the [VehicleTypes] list. If not on the list, the game thinks it doesn't exist, and throws out the unit code on game load. Once done you should get the 'Missing Cameo' at the very least. Give the unit Prerequisite=FACTORY and you will be able to build it as any side. (Make sure the unit has no ForbiddenHouses= or RequiredHouses= tags, at least for now). If the game crashes when you click on the cameo, or crashes when the unit is about to roll out of the factory, well those are other problems

Yeah that and TechLevel=. But if the unit is available in game and you just cant see it, it could be the HVA file. You do have the HVA file for the unit right?
