hmm,i was wondering if it would be possible to add the prison camp fence,which is on the worlbuilder list and add it to the build list of the the Prison camp which gives you intelligence, so what i am asking is if someone can put the prison camp fence next to Inteligence and so you can build the fence where you want as long as it is connected to the prison camp,so it costs 100-200$ to build it. + i will get my bro Sky Demon to add a shortcut to list down side of screen so you dont have to select Intelligence+Spy sat by clicking on the building to make them do availible.[smile] my brother can probably do this any ways but he is making AirForce sub-Faction for Generals.

I'm confused on what you want to do here. Are you referring the Detention Camp in Generals? That has a fence already on it as part of the object.

Me Myself And pi: Yes i mean the Detention Camp, but i do not know as much as my brother (Sky Demon) on this stuff, as you know he is making Sub-Faction.[smile] although i would like to make it myself but still[smile] Krit: You understand. Is it possible?i mean on world builder list is prison Camp fence, so?

Posted by: Me Myself and Pi - Monday, August 4, 2008 11:25:33 AM
I don't have any experience modifying the 3D objects. So I won't be able to help you there. As for just the special ability, that can be done. So would you like me or someone else to do it, or do you just need to know how? Also how to do you want the whole setup? Do you just want the camp to just have a command button that you click to purchase the intelligence ability?

Posted by: Ground Demon - Monday, August 4, 2008 5:00:21 PM
There is already a ready made Fence it just a matter of making it buildible, i would like to do it on my own but i do not know how [sad] Do you know how when you purchase the A-10 or Fuel air bomb it gives you a tab at the side of the screen that is what i want for Spy Sat&Inteligence so when the Detention camp gets built it will show the inteligence at the side of the screen, I want a command button that makes it so you can build a chainlink fence or another fence from the Detention Camp?[question] This may be asking to much of but is there a FAQ or Something to help me with the Shortcuts at the side of the screen (Spy Sat&Inteligence)?[smile]

In Generals, there's a limit of 5 shortcut command buttons. Currently, the Spy Drone, Emergency Repair, Paratroopers, A10's, & the Fuel Air Bomb take them up. So you'd need to sacrifice one of those if you want the Intelligence to come up. (They can still be choosen from the command center.) Creating the button is just a matter of copying the original command button & making a few changes for it being a shortcut command button. Then all you need to do is choose in the CommandSet.ini. I can give a more detailed explanation if you want.

Sky Demon, told me that the maximum amount is 6 if you change the playertemplate.ini, It would be good if i or someone here could change the Intelligence tab thing on the detention camp and put it on the strategy Center because no one ever builds the Detention Camp. lol, I have managed to do that with help of Sky Demon, so i answered my own Question,lol, But when I Click on The Strategy center it is ther like i wanted but when i click on it it doesn`t actually do anything, How Can i get It to work? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you have to have the command button on the command center for it to actualy create a shortcut at side of the screen? Me and Sky Demon can`t get it to work everytime when we go to load the game it comes up with [quote]Technical Difficulties![/quote]

You'll also have to add the module to the Strategy Center's object code. So just add this in there: [code] Behavior = SpyVisionSpecialPower SpyTag_1 SpecialPowerTemplate = SuperweaponCIAIntelligence BaseDuration = 30000 ;in milliseconds BonusDurationPerCaptured = 10000 ;in milliseconds MaxDuration = 240000 ;in milliseconds End[/code]

Posted by: Ground Demon - Wednesday, August 6, 2008 12:21:30 PM
PI:thanks for that.. but where is that ss it please so i get bearings on what to do cause it comeing up with Technical difficulties now. Anyone actually able to put the prison fence buildable yet?

Posted by: CommieDog - Thursday, August 7, 2008 8:47:52 AM
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this yet, but Generals doesn't have a real wall-building system. If you really want to be able to build walls of any sort, you'll have to build them one segment at a time. Also, there is no way to force a wall to be attached to another structure, such as a Detention Center or another wall segment. As for your errors, try running WorldBuilder and see if that crashes as well.

CommieDog, I think he wants the fence to come up from an upgrade. Like the chinees radar. That code I posted is from the Zero Hour strategy center. It's very similar to the dention camps code. But I don't think using either should make a difference. It goes under the [b]* ENGINEERING Parameters [/b]. I've posted the code from the detention camp so you know where it comes from.

CommieDog: My worldbuilder works.>but what do you mean by no proper Fencing tool? PI: I have used your code.everything loads alright but when i build the strategy center, Intelligence is there but i click on it but nothing happens could it be cause i have First Decade pack?or is to do with the ZH Code?

Posted by: Me Myself and Pi - Friday, August 8, 2008 6:29:30 AM
Nah, from what I've heard, the First Decade isn't any different. If you've added this code in the enginerring perremeters: [code] Behavior = SpyVisionSpecialPower ModuleTag_99 SpecialPowerTemplate = SuperweaponCIAIntelligence BaseDuration = 30000 ;in milliseconds BonusDurationPerCaptured = 10000 ;in milliseconds MaxDuration = 240000 ;in milliseconds End[/code] Then everything should work. If not, upload the FactionBuilding.ini file so I can check it out for myself.

[quote=Ground Demon]but what do you mean by no proper Fencing tool?[/quote] I mean that you can't build walls effectively like you could in TS and RA2. If you really want fencing or walls, then you'll have to settle for building them one segment at a time.

Posted by: Ground Demon - Friday, August 8, 2008 9:50:35 AM
That is better than nothing[+1] so do you know how to put it onto your build list? NOTE: [u][b]I AM GOING ON HOLIDAY FOR A WEEK![/b][/U] So please dont send 20,0000 Questions over that week but just try and leave some with me[grin]

Okay, the problem is simple. In the .big file you have the FactionBuilding.ini file only in an [b]Object[/b] folder. That needs to be in the [b]INI[/b] folder which needs to be in the [b]Data[/b] folder. So rename it from, Object\FactionBuilding.ini to [b]Data\INI\Object\FactionBuilding.ini[/b]. Although since you have the original FactionBuilding.ini file in that .big file, you'll need to remove it before renaming the modified one.

Over a long time, I think it's okay to post a new reply rather then to just edit your last post. Since the forum migration awhile ago, topics haven't been bumped to the top of the list just by editing a post. So if you want me to reply to a topic that hasn't been active in several weeks, you'll need to post a reply. Anyway, I'll need your mod file(s) again to find the problem.

Okay, I figured out how to fix it. You need to add: [code] Behavior = SpyVisionUpdate ModuleTag_099 ; End[/code] to it. Which is weird because it doesn't have any data. As for the shortcut command button, I found that you can't raise the limit in the PlayerTemplate.ini. The game doesn't crash, but the intelligence command button doesn't come up when it's in the 6th slot. So you'll need to sacrifice a shortcut.
