[b]Quick Question: What Do I need To Made New Faction ;Like Philippines[/b]

Posted by: acidbrain - Thursday, February 2, 2017 5:21:22 AM
Ask Klingon he is the only one over here who knows that.~

I've been working on a tutorial and I need someone to test it for me to make sure it's easy to use. So this is the perfect opportunity. Here's the first two steps. Tell me if you have any issues. I'll post more steps afterwards. --------------------------------------------- STEP 1: Creating a clone general --------------------------------------------- Creating a general with no unique features is actually very simple. So this is step 1. In this tutorial we're going to clone laser general, but the clone will have an extra dozer and a free fuel air bomb. So first off, open up PlayerTemplate.ini and look for this code: [code]PlayerTemplate FactionAmericaLaserGeneral Side = AmericaLaserGeneral BaseSide = USA PlayableSide = Yes StartMoney = 0 PreferredColor = R:0 G:0 B:255 IntrinsicSciences = SCIENCE_AMERICA PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank1 = Lazr_SCIENCE_AMERICA_CommandSetRank1 PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank3 = Lazr_SCIENCE_AMERICA_CommandSetRank3 PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank8 = Lazr_SCIENCE_AMERICA_CommandSetRank8 SpecialPowerShortcutCommandSet = Lazr_SpecialPowerShortcutUSA SpecialPowerShortcutWinName = GenPowersShortcutBarUS.wnd SpecialPowerShortcutButtonCount = 10 DisplayName = INI:FactionAmericaLaserGeneral StartingBuilding = Lazr_AmericaCommandCenter StartingUnit0 = Lazr_AmericaVehicleDozer ScoreScreenImage = America_ScoreScreen LoadScreenImage = SAFactionLogoPage_US LoadScreenMusic = Load_USA ScoreScreenMusic = Score_USA ;HeadWaterMark = SCTempSelectPortrait ; don't use unless we add a "generalshead for non selected generals FlagWaterMark = WatermarkUSA EnabledImage = SSObserverUSA BeaconName = MultiplayerBeacon SideIconImage = GameinfoAMRCA GeneralImage = USA_Laser 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_Pos5 Features = GUI:BioFeatures_Pos5 MedallionRegular = LaserGeneral_slvr MedallionHilite = LaserGeneral_blue MedallionSelect = LaserGeneral_orng End[/code] So, to turn this into a separate general, we will copy and paste this code to the bottom of the file and make some modifications. Like so: [code=plain]PlayerTemplate FactionNEWGENERAL ; Rename to make this into a separate general. Side = AmericaNEWGeneral ; This is for world builder categories and allows you to have a unique control bar. BaseSide = USA PlayableSide = Yes StartMoney = 0 PreferredColor = R:0 G:0 B:255 IntrinsicSciences = SCIENCE_AMERICA SCIENCE_DaisyCutter ; This is the free fuel air bomb. PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank1 = Lazr_SCIENCE_AMERICA_CommandSetRank1 PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank3 = Lazr_SCIENCE_AMERICA_CommandSetRank3 PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank8 = Lazr_SCIENCE_AMERICA_CommandSetRank8 SpecialPowerShortcutCommandSet = Lazr_SpecialPowerShortcutUSA SpecialPowerShortcutWinName = GenPowersShortcutBarUS.wnd SpecialPowerShortcutButtonCount = 10 DisplayName = INI:FactionNEWGENERAL ; This will change the displayed name of your general. StartingBuilding = Lazr_AmericaCommandCenter StartingUnit0 = Lazr_AmericaVehicleDozer StartingUnit1 = Lazr_AmericaVehicleDozer ; The Second dozer. I've added this entire line. ScoreScreenImage = America_ScoreScreen LoadScreenImage = SAFactionLogoPage_US LoadScreenMusic = Load_USA ScoreScreenMusic = Score_USA FlagWaterMark = WatermarkUSA EnabledImage = SSObserverUSA BeaconName = MultiplayerBeacon SideIconImage = GameinfoAMRCA GeneralImage = USA_Laser OldFaction = No ArmyTooltip = TOOLTIP:BioStrategyLong_Pos5 Features = GUI:BioFeatures_Pos5 MedallionRegular = LaserGeneral_slvr MedallionHilite = LaserGeneral_blue MedallionSelect = LaserGeneral_orng End[/code] I've put comments in to show what I changed and why. So now you can start up the game to make sure you haven't done anything wrong. It shouldn't crash. If you did it correctly, your new general will appear in the skirmish list with a weird name and there will be a very strange graphical glitch with the control bar when you play a match. --------------------------------------------- STEP 2: Fixing the bugs --------------------------------------------- You will need to create an entry in generals.csf to fix your general's name. The entry I created was INI:FactionNEWGENERAL as you can see in the above code (DisplayName). Alternatively, [url=http://www.cnclabs.com/forums/cnc_postsm61967_-Public-Sources.aspx#post61967]use this STR file as it's a lot simpler than using a csf editor.[/url] Next we'll fix the control bar. Open up ControlBarScheme.ini and look for the control bar you desire. Since this is a clone of laser general, I'm using laser general's controlbar. [code]ControlBarScheme AmericaLaserGeneral8x6 ScreenCreationRes X:800 Y:600 Side AmericaLaserGeneral [...] PowerPurchaseImage GeneralsPowerWindow_American End[/code] Copy the huge lump of code and change the first and third lines to match your new general. Here's mine: [code]ControlBarScheme AmericaNEWGeneral8x6 ScreenCreationRes X:800 Y:600 Side AmericaNEWGeneral ; Must be the same as the side you've created in PlayerTemplate.ini [...] PowerPurchaseImage GeneralsPowerWindow_American End[/code] Now you can start up the game to make sure you haven't done anything wrong. You should be able to play as your clone laser general without any bugs. At this point, you should now have a fully functioning new general and the next steps are to modify it to make it unique.

I have a [url=http://klingondragon.16mb.com/generals/new]tutorial on my website[/url]. I'm currently working on updating it and making it easier to follow. Until then it's good enough.

Posted by: Annihilationzh - Thursday, February 2, 2017 3:23:25 PM
[quote=klingondragon;143387]Until then it's good enough.[/quote] The reason I started writing my tutorial is because of the sheer number of people PMing me because your tutorial doesn't work at all. I'm not even saying it's just badly written; it will legitimately crash the game if you follow it precisely.

Posted by: klingondragon - Thursday, February 2, 2017 7:59:46 PM
Works fine for me (and no one's ever PMed me about it (and I would be the logical person to PM)). The main reason I'm updating it is to fix my sentence structure to clear up some confusion.

[b]Then .... I will just them into a big with a directory of -Data\INI\MyFaction.ini am i right ?[/b] [b]...And wait how about its Skirmish Ai Build List?[/b]

Posted by: klingondragon - Friday, February 3, 2017 4:09:57 AM
Forget about big files until you actually finish your mod. Then move your files to the big such that the file path starts with the folder directly below the game root (e.g.: Data, Art, Maps, etc.). As for the skirmish stuff, I've never got that working. Because it works in conjunction with skirmish scripts, and I'm not a particularly good script writer(I can do all the logic and make it all do what I want, but I've never done anything as complex as a complete set of skirmish scripts).

Did you stop and test as you went along? Can you tell me at what point things went wrong? There seems to be problems with your mod which have nothing to do with the tutorial.

The commandset 'CommandSet SCIENCE_AMERICA_CommandSetRank1' is used twice so one must be renamed to 'CommandSet SCIENCE_Philippines_CommandSetRank1', you forgot to rename it... The commandbutton 'Command_ConstructPhilippinesGattlingCannon' doesnt exist because it is 'Command_ConstructChinaGattlingCannon', you forgot to rename it... Two typo mistakes, sjit happens... Adriane there are two files in 'Command and Conquer Generals Data' called 'ReleaseCrashInfo' and 'ReleaseCrashInfoPrev', in these files you can see where the problem is and was, the prev file is the previous error...

The thing is, you're creating new powers. I just use existing ones. It really is as simple as copy a module and the purchase command. You don't need to mess around with special powers and sciences.

The same way as you build your CC. Make the object, make the command button, add the command button to the dozer command set.

Thanks , Guys. But However i Noticed That My Ph Faction doesnt Use Any Music .. How to get rid out of this ? What should i change?

Posted by: acidbrain - Sunday, February 12, 2017 12:42:23 AM
If you want your faction to have music you have to create a skirmish folder for your faction, i think the gla music would fit the ph the best so you can just copy the music scripts from the gla to your ph folder... I was full of sjit now i read it back, if you want music you have to add the music to the civilian folder, create a folder named 'PH Music' or something and copy/paste the scripts from 'GLA Music', rename the counters and timers to PH.

Edit the EA skirmish scripts, you don't have to add them to all maps if you do that...
