RE: Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe> - VK - 05.10.2006
Quote:they should've been removed, i think westwood forgot because they used a different method to select mission.They used anything like this:
Code:
#ifdef _DEBUG
  BOOL bShowCampaign = TRUE;
#else
  BOOL bShowCampaign = FALSE;
#endifRE: Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe> - pd - 06.10.2006
like everybody would understand that
but correct, the campaign list was disabled by a simple flag that was hardcoded to "no", which shall remind us of the compiler directives that CnCVK mentionned above (it would only be "yes" when the game's being debugged... or hacked
).I guess Westwood was - like most of the time - in a hurry to finish the game and simply forgot to change these, hence that comment...
WW Wrote:;everything below this line should be removed before the game ships. These are temporary campaigns
;to assist us in debugging.
since the list is back and you probably don't want every single mission being listed there, I thought it'd be best if I removed them.
RE: Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe> - Bobingabout - 06.10.2006
agreed
RE: Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe> - VK - 08.10.2006
Some news:
UseNewUpgradeSystem=[bool]
Set it if you want to use NextStage= tag.
NextStage=[TechnoTypeClass]
Unit, Infantry, Aircraft or Building type.
Unit won't be a veteran and health will be reset to full amount
It's funny, how MTNK into APOC after a crate
RE: Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe> - DCoder - 08.10.2006
That is... totally awesome!
* DCoder salutes CnCVK
RE: Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe> - hopalongtom - 08.10.2006
You know the Artic uniform code, would there be anyway to make something similar for other map styles?
DCoder Wrote:AlternateArcticArt - that already is implemented on infantry, but only in arctic theatre. It works by appending "A" to the art, like seal.shp becomes seala.shp. I'd like to see that expanded onto vehicles.Had to time travel for that quote!
Desert camo, urban camo, even space suits!!

RE: Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe> - Bobingabout - 08.10.2006
1. is this after a crate normally? or after any promotion?
2. can it be allowed for a later stage promotion, such as after veteran or elite, or just after rookie?
RE: Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe> - Gangster - 08.10.2006
omg! My suggest about new veterancy system have been implemented.. that is great, CnCVK.
hope it will be usefull to all moders.
RE: Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe> - Okej - 08.10.2006
sorry but i didint understand what CNCVK ment

Instead of it being controlled by a button ingame, how about its mod controlled? so modders have 3 options. 2 buttons for allied and soviet campaigns, 3 buttons for either adding yuri, or tutoral, and a list, for 4 or more campaigns.
(basicly, i want R:ROTC to go stright to the list, and have no big buttons)
BTW, i just tried the button for the first time, and when i pressed it, the game froze.
RE: Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe> - Kiith-Sa - 09.10.2006
Ok, but: (This should be problem just if it works like new unit replaces old one):
What if member of a TaskForce becomes veteran? Is it still part of the TaskForce?

I'll try it on windows XP home on my laptop when i get home.
and ren or D, do something about the XP smiley(change the code to something else), it's annoying that you can't say XP with smilies on.

Quote: is this after a crate normally? or after any promotion?On any promotion
Quote:can it be allowed for a later stage promotion, such as after veteran or elite, or just after rookie?You can create many promotions for units as you want
(using non-buildable units)
Example:
Code:
[MYTNK]
Name=My tank (1)
UseNewUpgradeSystem=yes
NextStage=MYTNK1
TechLevel=2
Speed=5
...
[MYTNK1]
Name=My tank(2)
UseNewUpgradeSystem=yes
NextStage=MYTNK2
TechLevel=-1
Speed=8
...
[MYTNK2]
Name=My tank(3)
TechLevel=-1
Speed=10
...Quote:BTW, i just tried the button for the first time, and when i pressed it, the game froze.Interesting...
Quote:What if member of a TaskForce becomes veteran? Is it still part of the TaskForceNot sure
RE: Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe> - TheMan - 09.10.2006
