i created a mostly finished ra2 mod a few years back which inclueded dozens of new units. However its been so long since i did that that i forgot how to do it. my problem is not programming the new units. I need help getting the voxel's and shp's to appear. and also cameos. I know its real simple, but like i said i forgot. I checked the tutorials, but they didnt cover adding new units.

I have sucessfully added new units to the game, however they are invisible every time i try to give them a new voxel. i can still select the unit, and it works, just no immage or cameo.

and one last thing how do i change the "NAME Missing" text that appears when i hold my cursor over the icon for the new unit.

thanks

Read the ra2.csf section of the Tutorials page on my site and take a look at the tutorials on the Tutorials 2 page.

Kravitz i tell you people today should always read the tutorials first, look thru the topics or search, and the post a topic.

Well, sometimes it's faster to ask at forum, then to find smth. in tutorial. Especialy when you don't know what is the problem.
Bob_A_Mickelson created unit, wrote codes. Everything is ok but name in the game is displayed not correctly. He doesn't know why is it so and he askes. I don't think it's bad.

Neither do i but they at least should search the topics because i am sure there's a post somewhere about string editing.creting

[AAG]

Ok. but they don't know about existing of such string file. How would they find information?
But in general you are right.

[naghi32]

I do not think there's a reason for someone to create a tutorial about string editing because that's like a tutorial about how to write on paper some words.
It's no big deal, however there should be a tutorial about string editing due to the fact that new people to the ra2 moding are, well, just noobs and due to the fact that they don't know anything but what is in the tutorials.

And that my friends is what i think. Don't kill me because i do my best, kill me if i don't do my best!

if you using the old csf editor then a tutorial is fine. String Editor is BUILT into XCC Mixer now, there r tutorials on it though.

You have a point there.
