woohoo RD update!

 

Sounds awesome

[Allen262]

An I found the first error. The MAD/EMP tank is buildable in C&C Classic missions. I used TechLevel=-1 for every thing else but it somehow...

[uNdeAd]

hmm i dont know if its a bug or u wanted it like that: the nod turret ballistic is set on High, tried to change it on rules.ini but it dont takes it over to my game anyhow :/

[Allen262]

I made it that way. The gun turret [TurretGun] in the rules.ini is using Projectile=Ack. Ack was for the AAgun bu now is like Ballistic but for no Arcing.

 

The rules.ini needs to be in the main Red Dawn folder.

[Jacko]

Is there a reason as to why buggies keep squishing all my guys

Actually makes them really OP

[Allen262]

Jacko

Because Buggy was the Mine Layer. I have to use Tracked=yes or the Buggy won't tun to attack anything and tracked unit will crush guys. I know this suck bad for the early GDI C&C Classic missions. I do wish Iran would make the Turret=yes key. This would tell the game that this unit has a turret so I could quit having to use Tracked=yes on the buggy.

Also edit the Aftermath.ini has has the [TurretGun] listed in it as well.

I had the game crash last night, GDI mission 15c where the Nod power plant and comm center are right next to you at starting. Game crashed when I captured comm center    O_o

[Allen262]

That is odd since the Comm Center has no trigger attached to it. I also can't make it crash. Can you attach the crash dump filen so I can send it to Iran and see if he know what is causing the crash?

[uNdeAd]

worked thx for support

[Iran]

Are you sure the Tracking= key is related to being able to crush infantry?

[Allen262]

Yes I'm sure Tracked= key lets tanks crush infantry or even othe units that have Crushable=yes. If I set Tracked=no the unit can't crush infantry and can't turn to attack any thing as the Mine Layer dosn't have a turret.

 

The only wheeled unit that has weapon is the Jeep/Ranger and it dosn't use the Tracked= key but has turret logic

[ROB]

this should be it

Because Buggy was the Mine Layer. I have to use Tracked=yes or the Buggy won't tun to attack anything and tracked unit will crush guys.

"the Buggy won't tun to attack anything"

You mean the body or turret? If it's just the body, um, why not just give it a set of turret graphics?

[Iran]

Are you sure the Mine Layer doesn't still crush infantry because it is hard-coded like that? What makes the Jeep/Ranger be able to crush?

[Allen262]

"the Buggy won't turn to attack anything"

You mean the body or turret? If it's just the body, um, why not just give it a set of turret graphics?

 

the Buggy won't turn to attack anything with out tracked= and giving the .shp a set of turret graphics dosen't give a turret in game to the unit. With Tracked= the whole body turns like the APC when it attacks.

 

Are you sure the Mine Layer doesn't still crush infantry because it is hard-coded like that? What makes the Jeep/Ranger be able to crush?

 

Jeep/Ranger dosn't crush. Any unit that dosn't have Tracked=yes can't crush and are assumed to be wheeled by the game. Also ROB posted a crash dump. Can you take a look at it and see if you can what is the cause of the crash he is having?

[Iran]

The Jeep/Ranger and Mine Layer crush logics are hard-coded, the game setups every unit type with a function that takes tons of arguments, one of them is a 'can crush' flag. In the last 30 minutes I made the Ranger/Jeep be able to crush infantry and prevented the Nod Buggy from Red Dawn from doing this (by modifying the minelayer settings).

 

This instruction is reponsible:

 

AUTO:0056DD85 050                push    1              ; can crush, push 1 = true

 

You need to change it to 'push 0'. Note that the 0x0056DD85 address is the in memory address of the instruction, not the address inside the executable. If you're interested in hex editing the EXE to apply this change please tell me so I'll figure out what address in the EXE needs to be changed. If you do that you need to modify every EXE I give you to add this change, so you should find some kind of program which can patch the EXE with this change (and any future ones) automatically.

If ANT1 to ANT3 were able to use more than 8 facings would that allow you to make Red Dawn any better?

 

I also found out how to enable/disable shroud generator and radar jamming abilities on vehicle units, next to figuring out how to enable/disable crushing.

[Allen262]

i could have sworn that tracked= also controlled if the unit could crush but since you can see inside of the game you would know this for sure. ANT1 to ANT3 are fine. I already use them. It took some time to convert the Recon Bike, Flame Tank and Stealth Tank to Ant format.

 

Let me know if you find any more.

[Iran]

But ANT1 to ANT3 only use 8 facings, not 32. The other vehicles are set up to use 32 facings.

 

There should be options for vehicles which have their turret on the back of the vehicle (instead of center), an option to enable/disable turret and one for bigger selection bracket. Does any of those interest you?

[Allen262]

True but it work fine. The Recon Bike and Stealth Tank use missile so it looks fine. The Flame Tank some times fires at an angle that looks odd.

[Iran]

It's easy to change the facings to 32 though, it's a one byte change per vehicle unit..

 

I could add it as rules.ini options, like Arda has.

[Allen262]

Wouldn't be an bad idea.

[Iran]

Which options would you use? It isn't hard for me to add but it takes quite some time..

[ROB]

BTW, Iran, there is a crash report last post, previous page. I see 0 downloads
