Hello
uh, hey
Um, this is -tr8er8- from PPM I added you so I can get help with my map
On this topic- http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12735
So... you here?
yeah, Im here just reading that topic
Oh ok
On the link you sent (http://modenc.renegadeprojects.com/RockPatch_Docs:Adding_a_new_ParaDrop) It says to add:
[SuperWeaponTypes] ... XX=NewParaDropSpecial
What would the number for 'xx' be? I just added it under [WeaponTypes]... Is that ok?
I already have 2 weapon types so the new paradrop would be number 146
If it can go under [WeaponTypes]
what? Where the hell did you get [WeaponTypes]?
No clue but it works
...
I played my map yesterday and put 2 new weapon types under [WeaponTypes] and it worked
tell me, how exactly did you manage to misread "[SuperWeaponTypes]" as "[WeaponTypes]"?
I didnt I dont know what
'xx' woulld + =
any number will work instead of an "xx", its common notation because the number doesnt really affect anything, as long as it is there
So it could be 66 ?
yes it could but that doesnt explain where you got the "[WeaponTypes]" from?
Here is my rules.ini for it so far:
[Unit_ParaDrop_Special] ;Basic Stuff UIName=Name:Unit_ParaDrop_Special Name=Unit ParaDrop Special IsPowered=false RechargeTime=4 Type=NewParaDrop ;NewParaDrop is the type for AmericanParaDrop clones Action=NewPara ;check out the Adding custom Actions page to find out more about this SidebarImage=NEWPARAICON ShowTimer=no DisableableFromShell=no ;New Tags ParaDropUnits=MTNK,BFRT ;this is the list of UnitTypes (vehicles) that will be paradropped ParaDropUnitsNum=2,1;this is their amounts
I just added another guy to the conversation
Ok Can he help?
Satan has arrived.
I sure hope so
lol
About my paradrop
so, I suggest you try doing what the document suggested and add it under [SuperWeaponTypes] instead of whatever the heck [WeaponTypes] is
I get all the stuff until I click on the part about Adding custom Actions
About the [MousePointers]
that requires the ability to create art
did you do what the tutorial tells you?
I play my map and when I click on the Image on the side bar it just starts over and doesnt paradrop
then you did something worng
I dont get this:
NewActionName=[StartFrame],[NumberOfFrames],[AnimationInte rval],[MinimapFrame],[MinimapNumberOfFrames] Do I add that in the rules?
um, it's self explanatory
Well, under [??] Under [MousePointers]?
Whoa he got it!!
I add it there?
k nvm he didin't......-___-
*Sigh*
yes, under [MouisePointers], just like the tut to ld you
I have this so far on [MousePointers]:
[MousePointers] Unit_ParaDrop_Special=259,10,4,516,-1
does your text editor have a "Find" or "Search" function? if not. Get a new one.
I add it under that I use wordpad
That has it
so the tut said to add it under [MousePointers] what's so hard about that
I know... Dave, show the code of the superweapon itself
Now what do I add on instead on [StartFrame],[NumberOfFrames],[AnimationInterval],[MinimapFrame],[MinimapNumberOfFrames] Inside those frames?
mouse.sha is an image with many frames
So...
containing the mouse pointers so you go into XCC and pick the frames you wanna use for your paradrop
it's a little too simple really...
What!?!
dude you have xcc mixer?
XCC Mixer? Yeah
open it ctrl-f "mouse.sha" double click it
there's a reason tools exist
When I did Ctrl-f it didnt work
File > Find not hard
Searching... WTF I click search and it dont do anything
Oh ok
look at the status bar, does it say "Ready" or "Reading "
Go tit
yes, go TIT...
hehe ok, now find that file
Mouse.sha?
yes
Not there...
have we mentioned any other file?
if you have yr, you definitely have that file
I have RA2 Not YR
um WTF!?!?!?! aren't you using RockPatch?
it has c:\ brb
O_o
back...
Do I download Rock Path? Patch
rock patch doesn't work with regular RA2 you need YR
Oh So can I still do it?
and you are trying to impliment a RockPatch only feature so.. no
Tank Paradrop is only for YR?
tank paradrop is only for Rock Patch which is only for Yuri
:rambo *Sigh* This is really gay
no you don't have Yuri's Revenge what do you expect
I do for the first decade
I have RA2 seperate
so why do you use RA2 and not YR?
YR is my brothers
RockPatch doesn't work with TFD
I know...
so..
I need YR
go get your bros cd
I wanna put the changes in my own map but hold up Ok
yes, you need YR for this to work
Ill just copy the rules.ini later
what...
Just keep going I have YR
thats progress
lol
when you install YR and install the 1.001 official patch, go download Rock Patch 1.07b and install it
1.08 actualy
I already have mouse.sha 1.001 official patch
good
Sorry bout that Hold up Ill download Rock Patch
What program should I open it with
rock patch is an exe it runs itself
its rar'd up
yes I'm guesssing now he doesn't have winrar
you need WinRAR to open that, dave
and don't forget to delete WinZIP while you're at it
http://files.renegadeprojects.com/index.php?act=download&id=36
That it?
does it look like it?
No It doesnt open
the abbreviated "rp" doesn't give it away?
It doesd The download dont work
we just told you, you need winrar to open .rar fi les
Dave...?
the download does work, windows just doesnt know what program can open it,and we just repetitively told you the name of that program
WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR www.rarlab.com WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR WinRAR
I download WInRAR It says YR is not installed Please install it......................
it probably isn't installed then
It is
Hold up a sec
do you have a PURPLE icon in your RA2 folder that sorta looks like a Y
I guess YR got uninstalled Installing now...

Or something like that...
yes I do
Oh, well if you are going to tell me can you tellmy via e-mail?
Because I got to go to school in like 5 min

Ok
Lets do it
What do I have to open?
that question has been answered infinite times. search the forums, youll definitely find it
Alright
Ra2 editiing forum?
that would make the most sense, yes
I already made a topic but no one seems to be helping out:(
Im on page 11 and havent found anything that helps
... what are you searching for?
mssing
missing*
You can help me out after school
:)
Cya
cya
Hey DCoder
I have him on my contacts too
hey
Thats nice
What is your problem?
sdfdsfd
Oh sorry
Well, my RA2 like wont work
Cant uninstall it
After about 10 seconds in the game, all my stuff blows up and I lose
Even in campaign
thats copy protection
Really
yes
Definitely
I was just modding my map and when I tried to play it did it
Delete the entire RA2 folder and reinstall it cleanly
The problem is I cant uninstall
Delete the folder manually
What about all the maps I made?
And modded
back them up somewhere?
Save the maps you made in a spare folder and then delete the RA2 folder
In a removeable disk?
Ill try it now
No you can make a spare folder in My Documents to store your maps then find the folder where RA2 exists and delete it
then reinstall it
Im transferring all my maps now
Done...
Now un-install
?
Ok now your maps are safe, delete the RA2 folder
If uninstall does not work then find the folder where RA2 is installed and simply delete it
I just sent it to the recycle bin and yeah
Once your RA2 is deleted, place the disc in and install it again then
I am
Right now
wait, Dave, you said you have TFD
But im going to bed in a sec so...
I do
Thats all I can really suggest as I am really more a Tiberian Sun editor
install from that and install YR as well
Wait, I have TFD and RA2 seperate
TFD's YR doesnt always cooperate with plain RA2
install both from TFD disk
I have all games installed on TFD except like counterstrike and CNC 1 and stuff
Dude
It says play and not install
Then it says file missing
you running from TFD's dvd?
No
RA@
RA2*
WHAT DID I JUST SAY? "Install both from TFD disk"
I deleted the Westwood folder too
I already have
I dont want to play on TFD because when I mod it dont work
The XCC utilities use RA2
There are patches for that though
Over TFD
if you dont use TFD and patch it and use plain RA2 and the TFD YR you are going to have the problems forever
I just want RA2 to work
and as soon as ytourbrother installs TFD YR on this machine, it will die again
I dont play YR ever
I have like once
your*
Really?
Yes
YR cant be installed if I install this?
let me add one more RA2 modding master
I have him too HEHEHE
Ok..
Who the hell is Ryan? >_>
Morpher
Did you block me Beowulf?
It says you are offline
hahahahahahaha
I'm Morpher from PPM, don't think we havemet before, I run Tiberium Odyssey if you have heard of it
I might have.
Ahh fuck dat shit
I know who you are Morpher.
...
I didn't recognize the real name is all.
so, just to get everyone on the same page
I know too many Ryans.
Ah fair enough
Unblock me please
No.
*Sighs*
I can't be assed to answer your questions every goddamn day. >_>
Dave here just deleted his RA2 folder.
Dave has RA2 CDs and TFD DVD.
Dave wants to install from CDs.
Why the hell would he do that? TFD = good enough!
But dont I need a patch for XCC?
NO!
..
Yeah I do
I run TFD on my HP with NO patches of ANY sort.
To put the strings in will do it as RA2 and not TFD
XCC Mod Creator/Launcher/Mixer works fine.
Ive done it before I know...
So does the string file for chrissakes.
It will do it for RA2 and not TFD
omg. TFD WILL READ CHANGES LIKE RA2!
Not if I have RA2 installed
Same files dude. Different install path.
I tried it
I know
Then don't try to run RA2 and TFD at the same time!
Ok...
I already have TFD installed
You cannot seriously be this stupid. >_>
Arhg
So uninstall RA2.
WTF was that? I cant
What the fuck is so hard about that?
It wont let me
You just said you deleted your folder?
I swear to god
Still in the registry then.
omg.
I try and this gay IE box pops up
Find "Software" under HKEY_CURRENT_USER and delete it.
Ryan told me to delete the RA2 directory
If you cant unistall correctly
but you should be able to
Nope
But you have to make sure you clear everything
If you just delete the folder, you don't remove anything but the game files.
Beo... dont tell him about the registry. That's way too difficult.
I know...
To Windows, everything is still there.
He WILL screw it up.
No its not
You need to remove the registry settings as well.
I know
I'm know I thought he just wanted game files back in his original folder
All I needed to know if its because of F***ing RA2 !!!
But each problem evolves into something different
Jeez I know the rest
Ill just delete it tomorrow
Im going to bed now
You said you did it already.
What the fuck? Did you delete it or not?
I deleted the folder
He influences time I think
o_0
Im 13 and its 11:37 PM here
Ok?
My mom wants me to go to bed.
School...
I'm 22 and it's 1:40
So the fuck what?
Im 15 and its 4:07pm
Yeah 22 = No school for fuck sake
22 = work and other priorities
Work, you moron.
Work= income and ability to feed self
Fuck work its probably Friday night
You gotta be crazy to stay up this late
It's Friday morning, you twit.
And I stay up late all the time.
Its thursday night here, hehee
It's called not having restrictions.
Ok, thanks for help
What little we could actually give.
All I needed to know was that if it was because RA2 I was having all these probs
YES
YES!
If you make your problem clearer to understand then we are more than willing to assist you
I know...
FOR FUCK'S SAKE, YES!
You know?
You guys like fucked it into my head already, lol
Then why did you ask?
Skullfucking is gay. >_>
It was fine with just me and Ryan (Lets bring in another expert modder)
dude
Ryan works with TS
We didnt even need DCoder or Beowulf
I know
DC and I work with RA2/YR.
He started chatting wit me
I know
or is it the other way around there, guy?
Nope
I mod TS I work on TS I can only help you with RA2 problems that may be similar to problems with TS, Dcoder and Beowulf have more skill and knowlegde in RA2's field
I just got off Renegade and MSN thing was up
Flashing yellowish orange
I asked who you were
Yeah I know
Knew it.
You added someone randomly... AGAIN!
Like you did with me.
I needed help...
So ask on the forums.
That's why we have them.
Too slow
Boo-fucking-hoo!
It's called patience!
Yes, Dave, you are so fucking unique that nobody else in the entire world will ever have the same fucking problem
Dude your gay Beowulf
and you cant spell, dimwit
Oh check it out guys... I'm GAY!
LOL
Ooooooo wow dimwit
Fuck you
Oh here we go.
The real child comes out!
Whatever doesnt matter
yay!
Creative, aren't we?
This argument is irrelative
But it is fun! :P
Forget it
Jeez
Calling people gay for trying to help is just immature
I'm used to it.
I've been called gay many a time for my display pictures. heh.
Its the kind of buzz word for insulting that was around school when I was 10
Dude he is all saying Im dumb and crap when he is trying to make a big deal why I was asking why I cant un-install
You deleted the folder instead of running the uninstall. That's why I called you a moron.
Yeah because fuckin ryan said to
I told him to
Not me
Yeah see
Fuckin Ryan couldn't understand your problem
Dammit DCoder!
Im just listening to the "experts"
The experts learnt for themselves, other people should be able to follow that magic path
and if you hadnt stopped in the middle of the process with your slepp, you would have had RA2 working by now sleep*
Yeah I know
But you invited other people
Started a conflict
Maybe someone else would understand you better.
And this happened
You're a moron. That's why this happened.
You didnt fucking listen to my explanation, so I invited one more opinionated person
What is so hard about asking why I cant unistall
If you want help you have to clearly explain your problem without resorting to immature arguments and impatience, I invited other people to try and help you, if anything you should be greatful I bothered to try and help you out whilst I could have been doing something else to waste my time
Yes, thanks you
All...
You should know there's something called an UNINSTALL!
I know now
It's an exe with every Westwood game.
The so called"UNINSTALL" didnt work!!!
Run it nest time you want to whack the game properly.
next*
I know
I tried to uninstall it many times
See you dont even know why I cant uninstall
You SHOULD be able to lay the files down by installing from the RA2 CD and then running the uninstaller. should remove RA2 properly.
It wont let me uninstall
Files are deleted
Because there's nothing left to uninstall.
When I put in the disk it just says "Play" and not uninstall
That's why you have to EXPLORE THE CD, find the Se tup folder, run setup.exe and go from there.
I did
Error
In an IE window
Then you're fucked.
I know...
I dont know what to do
Then I came to you guys for help
I do but it's far beyond what you could ever dream of doing.
See if you know
TELLING US WHAT THE FUCKING ERROR SAID MIGHT HELP, DON'T YOU THINK?
^ Truth.
It said Red Al
ert 2 and everything else was cvered with grey
He did say IE so it's probably the same bague bullshit we always get.
vague*
on setup.exe?
Yeah
I'm sorry but I can't help in this area
Beo, IE comes from gamemd, not setup
I went to Start>All Prgrams>Westwood>Red Alert 2>Red Alert 2 Uninstall
And clicked
I click next an it came up
and*
It won't work because the uninstaller is gone.
You HAVE to explore the CD.
Run setup.exe and hope it works.
Ill try
Well... it's obvious you haven't yet.
Oh please, searching yields a perfect answer as the fifth result on the first page..."Im on page 11 and havent found anything that helps"
Think that I have nothing better to do than to run and wipe your ass immediately. Rome wasn't built in a day, you know. Have some patience."Forums are too slow"
