I tried following a tutorial http://gendev.cncguild.net/page.php?file=/vanguard/faction
I think I need a little help with the inis, attaching...
Posted by: Annihilationzh - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 1:20:35 PM
Without the attached INI files, I can't immediately help there.
However, this tutorial tries to do everything at once. That is very overwhelming for those who need a tutorial.
Step 1:
Add a PlayerTemplate.ini entry. Use an existing general as a base. For example, this is a new general:
[code]PlayerTemplate FactionTheGreatestGeneralEver
Side = TheBest
BaseSide = GLA
PlayableSide = Yes
StartMoney = 0
PreferredColor = R:0 G:255 B:0
IntrinsicSciences = SCIENCE_GLA
PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank1 = Chem_SCIENCE_GLA_CommandSetRank1
PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank3 = Chem_SCIENCE_GLA_CommandSetRank3
PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank8 = Chem_SCIENCE_GLA_CommandSetRank8
SpecialPowerShortcutCommandSet = Chem_SpecialPowerShortcutGLA
SpecialPowerShortcutWinName = GenPowersShortcutBarGLA.wnd
SpecialPowerShortcutButtonCount = 10
DisplayName = INI:FactionGLAToxinGeneral
StartingBuilding = Chem_GLACommandCenter
StartingUnit0 = Chem_GLAInfantryWorker
ScoreScreenImage = GLA_ScoreScreen
LoadScreenImage = SUFactionLogoPage_GLA
LoadScreenMusic = Load_GLA
ScoreScreenMusic = Score_GLA
;HeadWaterMark = SCTempSelectPortrait ; don't use unless we add a "generalshead for non selected generals
FlagWaterMark = WatermarkGLA
EnabledImage = SSObserverGLA
BeaconName = MultiplayerBeacon
SideIconImage = GameinfoGLA
GeneralImage = GLA_Toxin
OldFaction = No ; This faction was NOT available in the original Generals and should NOT be available if the oldFactionsOnly flag is set
ArmyTooltip = TOOLTIP:BioStrategyLong_Pos1
Features = GUI:BioFeatures_Pos1
MedallionRegular = ToxinGeneral_slvr
MedallionHilite = ToxinGeneral_blue
MedallionSelect = ToxinGeneral_orng
End[/code]
You'll notice, I only changed TWO things. This is because a faction doesn't need all it's buildings/units immediately. Especially if you're new to this.
Next, to repair the inevitable sidebar bugs (ControlBarScheme.ini)
[code]ControlBarScheme TheGreatestGeneralEver8x6

End

End[/code]
Again, I only changed two things, right at the beginning.
This is a new general. Next, create a command centre and a dozer and then add them to PlayerTemplate.ini. Slowly but surely, your general will grow.

as for NOD I'm thinking more in the lines of Tiberian Sun/Firestorm faction... [ATTACH]1186[/Attach]
Posted by: Annihilationzh - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 2:09:55 PM
Well, for a start...
In PlayerTemplate.ini
[code]StartingBuilding = NODCommandCenter[/code]
Doesn't exist.
[code]StartingUnit0 = NODsDozer/Worker[/code]
Doesn't exist.
[code]IntrinsicSciences = SCIENCE_NOD[/code]
No Science.ini provided.
You didn't include a CommandSet.ini, so I have to assume that all your CommandSets are invalid.
The whole PlayerTemplate.ini entry is a real mess. It'd be faster to start over.
Also, nothing in NOD.ini is a new unit. AmericaJetAurora already exists. Change it to NODJetAurora or something. This applies to everything I read in the file.
ControlBarScheme.ini looks OK!

I'd like it to use GLA Command Center with dozer instead of worker, China/Boss Powerplant (America's upgrade instead of China), Nuke, GLA Arms Dealer, China Barracks... America Laser Gen Turret (less power needed), America Patriot (edit for only attack airborne)
I'll see what I can do if anything...
Posted by: Annihilationzh - Friday, October 19, 2012 4:43:51 PM
This is why I criticised the tutorial. This is bulk coding. I can bulk code - because I know what's likely to go wrong, and I can fix it.
If you don't know what's likely to go wrong, it can take weeks to fix it. When you code one step at a time, even the most inexperienced can troubleshoot.

Okay I think I got it, got ZH to launch fine without that "serious error" and does show in faction dropdown menu just with "MISSING" in front but otherwise it work just fine.
Next Step?
- eventually models/textures/etc will be changed/replaced for the new factions so they got correct structures/units/etc.
Posted by: Annihilationzh - Sunday, October 21, 2012 11:59:53 AM
Create each unit, one at a time. Then add CommandButtons and CommandSets for everything. Test in between.
Go over PlayerTemplate.ini, creating and adding any commandsets within it as you go along.

might need some help adding/fixing, think I got commandset[question] but not sure I get commandbuttons...[question]what to do there... [question] [ATTACH]1188[/Attach]
Posted by: Annihilationzh - Sunday, October 21, 2012 5:05:23 PM
Here's an example:
[code]CommandButton Command_ConstructNODTank
Command = UNIT_BUILD
Object = NODTank
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructNODTank
ButtonImage = SNBattlemaster
ButtonBorderType = BUILD ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipNODBuildTank
End[/code]
"Command_ConstructNODTank" Goes in CommandSet.ini
" Object = NODTank" must be an object in Nod.ini
As NODTank is not an object in Nod.ini, the game will crash, because NODTank doesn't exist.
However, if you use NODTankBattleMaster, which does exist in Nod.ini, this won't cause the game to crash.
Posted by: Decrosse - Sunday, October 21, 2012 6:15:04 PM
Its more the CommandButtons than the CommandSet... that I'm not sure of...
Posted by: Rrtaya_tsamsiyu - Sunday, October 21, 2012 10:12:11 PM
[quote]As NODTank is not an object in Nod.ini, the game will crash, because NODTank doesn't exist.[/quote]
usually it just makes the button unclickable for me, just sayin incase decrosse adds a button to a unit/building and it dosent work. i also had it to where the game would crash if i passed the mouse over the button ingame, i dont remember what in the button.ini caused that.
im pretty sure the game will crash if you add something to commandset.ini that isent in commandbutton.ini tho.
[quote]Its more the CommandButtons than the CommandSet... that I'm not sure of...[/quote]
basically,
[color=blue]CommandButton Command_ConstructNODTank[/color] is the button name, and what you put in a commandset so it uses that button.
[color=blue]Command = UNIT_BUILD[/color] changes with what the button does, such as PURCHASE_UPGRADE, BUILD_STRUCTURE, etc.
[color=blue]Object = NODTank[/color] tells the game what unit/building to make.
[color=blue]TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructNODTank[/color] im not exactly sure about..
[color=blue]ButtonImage = SNBattlemaster[/color] is the picture on the button.
[color=blue]ButtonBorderType = BUILD[/color] im not sure about either...[h][/h][h][/h][color=blue][/color]
[color=blue]DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipNODBuildTank[/color] is the popup you see when you hover the mouse on the button -i think-
[color=blue]End[/color] of course, tells the game that this is the end of the INIs for CommandButton Command_ConstructNODTank.
The easiest and quickest way for me to make buttons is to copy/paste existing ones and just edit them.
Posted by: Decrosse - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 9:30:04 PM
yeah right now i'm not picky on which units/structures it uses, defaults find with renames for the place holders...
been checking out other RTS games meanwhile; like Universe at War: Earth Assault. nice li'l game thing...

Okay, now one at a time... I can be a bit slow so step-by-step directions may work best with me
one faction, based off of GLA, how to change the vehicles models to civilian vehicles models?
would like to make CommandCenter make dozers, not workers...
-------
would like to replace these with civilian vehicles as shown
[IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g205/DeCrosse/VEH1.png[/IMG]
Also have Structures to do, but would like to start with the vehicles at least...
[IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g205/DeCrosse/VEH2.png[/IMG]
Posted by: precision_bomber - Monday, November 5, 2012 1:21:46 PM
I think you'd have to work on how the object works.
Like for example:
Scorpion Tanks have turrets, but Civilian Cars don't.
You can totally dismiss this, or you may want to add a turret to the Civilian Car through modelling.
Another Example:
SCUD Storms have 'WEAPONAxx' Bones. ('xx' representing the order of the missiles launched)
You can as well, dismiss this; resulting into the SCUD Missiles Launching from the origin point of the model. Or, as well, edit the the Civilian Building Model to make it work the way you want.
[i][size=2][color=green]Changing Models is a bit of a big job especially if you're doing everything yourself... So patience is the key.[/color][/size][/i]
Posted by: Annihilationzh - Monday, November 5, 2012 1:23:06 PM
Replace the entire Art code, not just the model. The art code is usually ModuleTag_01.
Posted by: Decrosse - Monday, November 5, 2012 2:45:21 PM
Civilian cars aren't supposed to show any turrets; I liked the Tiberian Sun/Firestorm mutants when civilian car was used for attacking playerbase...
and ScudStorm superweapon will eventually be changed to new one...
------
Doesn't mean I know how to do these things, still new to modding. I'll go take a look in wherever....

You should by now, be able to at least read the error.
Check if you inexplicably doubled the Object field in an Object
like this:
[code=cpp]
Object Awesome
Object
[/code]
Simply omit that part of the code.

Doesn't make it any easier to find, I'll scan again but...
Other errors beforehand told me of Duplicates found apparently which I fixed, this doesn't say duplicate found. Just "Unknown"
Also, after clicking ignore on that error it says 'Error parsing block in 'Object''
hmm.

That error typically appears when you have a TAB in the code.
I can't check that because the forum deletes all tabs and double spaces from code.

There is nothing wrong with that code. It works fine.

weird...
going through that one specifically, moved other factions.inis temporarily...
ended up deleting everything after that toxintruck, now its complaining about an END token missing, but doesn't tell where..
so be it if I must use the other factions' stuff (america/china units/structures) to get it working... [ATTACH]1195[/Attach]

"ASSERTION FAILURE: Error parsing block 'Objects' in 'Mutants.ini'. Missing 'END' token."
EDIT: clicking ignore then it brings up "ASSERTION FAILURE: Error parsing block '' in 'Mutants.ini'"
--
maybe the .ini is just bugged on my end and a fresh one would do...
though I do have a copy of the ini before I deleted a good bit of it...

Okay found the spot where it was missing the "END" token, now theres something else. hold on a bit if I can't find problem I'll attach files to this post or next. [ATTACH]1201[/Attach]

ended up just using a duplicate of NOD.ini with renames to Mutants.ini and fixed NOD.ini while at it. For some reason I guess it don't like modding GLA for whatever reason. China and USA factions are good, so GDI.ini is good.
