Help Me Make A Simple Mod?

Ruff · 01-28-2005, 05:09 AM

Im thinking of making a 'simple' mod. I Have little modding experiance (it goes as far as fiddling around with rules.ini)

What i want to do in this mod is:

1. Replace some of the existing Units/Buildings Cameos
2. Take Out some of the existing units/Buildings
3. Add new units/buildings

Now, i dont want to create like new units, im going to use ones people have already made from yrarg.cncguild.net (or other places)

So no new things need to be made.

This mod will be for Ra2 as thats all i play.

I can also make maps that aint to bad, so it will have new maps in it.

Somebody please help.

My MSN is RuffRat@gmail.com

Cheers in advance

'sigh* Where's Kravvitz' sig when you need it? Go here and read tutorials, and use the search function to find answers to problems you might run into. You also mentioned YR Arg - they've got a tutorials-section, too.

In other words: Everything you need to know has been written down. Read it, and the mod will be no problem for you.

Oh, and btw: Not every voxel on YR Arg comes with rules. Just so you know.

I know about the tut sections on both sites, but i couldnt find anything on replacing cameos....

Plus i like it better i have somebody else....2 is better than one.....

Replacing cameos is simple...either put a cameo with the same name as an existing one in your mod, or put a new one in and change the Cameo= entry in the object's art-section.

I'm in the same position as you Ruff. I don't really get the mixer either. If I ever figure it out, I'll help you out. I got msn too. psychochihuahua_05@hotmail.com. Long story.

It has to be said that Olaf Van Der Spek's XCC Utilities aren't very user-friendly. Nor do they have any help documents. Instead, the guy relies on his forums to help people, and they are always crowded with newbie questions for him. The poor guy.

Hmm. One should think a link called "Guide: Using XCC Mixer" in the main menu of the XCC page was obvious and direct enough...

...not to mention that functions like "Open", "Copy to SHP" and the perhaps resulting error-codes are pretty self-explanatory.
