Hi guys!

Im glad to see, that this forum is still quite activ, i got lots of good ideas and stuff from this section :)
Maybe some of the more experienced guys here can help me or give me hint on a problem i have.
I startet playing CNCZH about two weeks ago after a longer break and startet mapping again.
Im working on a little Mission where your task is to play the Partisans from the Busher map.
I changed those guys a little bit, and need help with the last thingy.
I made one of the partisans use the angry mob´s ak47 weaponset, but i also want to replace his originally "redguard-look-alike-rifle" with the optical AK47 that the mob is using after the upgrade...but i cant find any way to do this.
is there a way to change the optical weapons (and heads) that the partisans/units in general are using by ini-editing?


thanks in advance 🙂

to change the model you would have to make your own models with Gmax.
You could try using other infantry models tho, such as the rebel or ranger.

Hi!

Thanks for that fast reply - are you shure, that i cant do that change with inis?
On lots of maps you see crazy stuff like navalbases, attacking snowmans, the mortarman and so on...all without installing any mods, just using those inifiles.
and if im not totally wrong, the mob uses other weapons before you upgrade, then uses other ones..from pistols to the ak47, i just dont get HOW.
im not that familiar with stuff like that, so i better ask twice before i give up 😃!

thanks sir.

Your welcome.

The mob does use other weapons.When you upgrade, it changes the models. In Generals, a gun is part of the model same as a arm or leg.

For the look your going for tho, you could try using one of the angry mob infantry models

Hi Sir,

thanks for the bad news 😁
I have been trying to use the GLAInfantryAngryMobPistol05 guy, but i cant figure out how to stop him from dying as soon as i start the map where i placed him.
I removed the Slavemodule but it did not help, and i could not see anyhting in the inizh file, that seems to be used to kill it.
do you have any idea how to start and does something like usable single mobfighters allready exist?

thanks again!

lol, welcome.

im not sure what is auto-killing him. it might be the map or the INIs. i wouldn't use his original inis, i would probley use the inis from the Rebel or the Red Guard but use the model of the angry mob guy. if you change the inis like that and he's still dying when he pops up, its a map problem.

My best guess is that its an ini-problem tho.

OK I have done things like ur saying ,but i didn't care about the model...
SO what i would do would start off makeing a new units I'd name it Ak-47Gunner Then i would copy the whole part of the red Guard/Ranger part then find the model you want in it (not looking at code right now so i can't give exacts)Then replace the...The..entire W3d model with the ak47 one ,THEN!! Switch the Said RedGuard/Ranger's Weapon With The angry mob 47 so like this switched with this


>Ranger< Weapon = PRIMARY RangerAdvancedCombatRifle
>Red Guard< Weapon = PRIMARY RedguardMachineGun

>Ak-47Gunner< Weapon = SECONDARY(Change this to Primary or eles it will use it only on buildings i think.) GLAAngryMobAK47Weapon


Then have the command button,command set with it and it SHOULD work Keyword SHOULD!!!.
Hope this helpfull

Then replace the...The..entire W3d model with the ak47 one



You shouldn't have to do anything to the actual .w3d file. you just need to change the Model line in the INIs and the fire bones;


DefaultConditionState
Model = UNI_Ranger
WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY 101
WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY 101
End

Changed;
DefaultConditionState
Model = NKI_Conscript
WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY Gun1
WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY Gun1
End


Realisticly, all you need to do is copy/paste a unit's inis, like the ranger for example, and give it a new name, like changing AmericaInfantryRanger to AmericaInfantryTimmy. then change the weapon stuff if you want.

To make it buildable you would need to put this in commandbutton.ini

CommandButton Command_ConstructAmericaInfantryTimmy
Command = UNIT_BUILD
Object = AmericaInfantryTimmy
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructAmericaInfantryRanger
ButtonImage = SARanger
ButtonBorderType = BUILD ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUSABuildRanger
End


and add this line to CommandSet AmericaBarracksCommandSet inside of commandset.ini;
9 = Command_ConstructAmericaInfantryTimmy

tada, new unit! lol.

edit; i think to add these to a map, you make a notepad file and name it the same as the ini needed, for example CommandSet.INI. not entirely sure, as i dont do much mapping at the moment.

Conformation/help from those more experienced in mapping would be nice.

Hi there!
Im feeling kinda stupid...but...do you have the changed and working ini for us by any chance?
I dont get that re-name thing, because when you start an entry in the inifile, you have to choose the unit you want to edit..Object CINE_AmericaInfantryRanger for example. But when i change the name, i cant place the little guys on the map anymore, cause the editor does not know Ak47MobGuy or whatever were supposed to call him.
I keep getting gamecrashes over and over again and im about to quit it, its frustrating :D
Maybe you can give us an example if you got the time and feel like it - you would be my god 😃!

Went ahead and made this, it may be what you need. Its basically an angry mob guy firing the gla rebel gun. i haven't tested it yet. Currently it should be called Partisan in-game and in the Worldbuilder, you can change that if you want. In Worldbuilder, you should be able to find him with the GLA infantry.

Hi there!

Your a god, thanks :P
Just a little bit of a problem...the WorldBuilder does not show anything new and the game is crashing while the script is added to the map.ini
As far as i can imagine, i think we have to let the WorldBuilder know, that there is something new he has to show in the GLAInfatry section?
Other "new" units like the GLAMortarMan or the USAPredatortank got the spot of some GLA/USA CINE Unit, so they could be found in the Worldbuilder, even if its showing the "old" unit in WorldBuilder, you got the "new" one ingame and can use it.
Im just not that good now to figure out how to do that myself 😕 feelsbadbro!
The GLAMortarMan can be found here: CLICK ME <3 

I guess we will have tons of new and different units when this works 🙂 your just great man!

Just doing what i can

The Worldbuilder should pick them up by itself, shouldn't need anything special for it to appear there.

i'm not sure how else to help, just keep trying different things, using the original units as templates. Thats about the only way to get better at this stuff is to keep working on it.
