    To import, edit then export the models for use in game, you'll need one of the above versions. The SDK comes with the export plugins and I believe the import plugins are available from here.

    I'd read this thread for details of the tools needed.

    You'll also need some sort of photo editing program such as photoshop to tweak the textures so they look like your goals.

    Many thanks

    Unfortunately it's quite difficult to understand what you're asking, so it makes it difficult to answer you.

    Not sure if it will cause the problem you're having, but this:

    Code:
    TypeDescription="Desc:AlliedSpetznaz"
    should read:

    Code:
    TypeDescription="Type:AlliedSpetznaz"
    Is the str file called mod.str in the data folder?

    You need to change the following lines to include the same names as the str file:

    Code:
    TypeDescription="Type:AlliedSpetznaz"

Description="Desc:AlliedSpetznaz"

<DisplayName xai:joinAction="Replace" xmlns:xai="uri:ea.com:eala:asset:instance">Name:AlliedSpetznaz</DisplayName>

    Great, thanks. For a starter, he's now all in the right position (same as the skeleton when it imports).

    However there isn't an option to import the animations on the script by Bibber. Also the model isn't actually linked to the skeleton so if you move the skeleton the model doesn't move. Should this have been done automaticallyy by the script or is it a manual process?

    Maybe I'm missing somethign obvious here. But when I use Bibber's tools to extract infantry models, they come out all distorted with all the elements of the model crushed into a small space. Is there any way to extract them correctly without having to manually correct them?

    I've only learnt by reading the documentation that came with it, and then just messing around with units and structures that already exist (changing small things at first like health and fire rate etc). At the beginning you make a lot of mistakes and you get errors all the time. There isn't a full guide to how to mod, but there are a couple of tutuorials for starters around the internet (for example http://www.moddb.com/games/cc-red-al...ters-guide-pt1).

    Should just be a matter of changing the weapon template for the AlliedScoutInfantryMaul and AlliedScoutInfantryMaulWarhead.

    Simply add a new ExcludeThing for the soviet bear in all the SpecialObjectFilter tags throughout:

    Code:
    				<SpecialObjectFilter
					Rule="ALL"
					Exclude="STRUCTURE VEHICLE AIRCRAFT">
					<ExcludeThing>SovietHeavyAntiVehicleInfantry</ExcludeThing>
					<ExcludeThing>SovietScoutVehicle</ExcludeThing>
					 <ExcludeThing>AlliedAntiNavalScout</ExcludeThing>
					 <ExcludeThing>SovietScoutInfantry</ExcludeThing>
				</SpecialObjectFilter>
    This will stop the dog being able to attack the bear, but the bear maul weapon will be unaffected.

    Ramming Unit

    Hey all,

    One of the next units we're planning on releasing is the United Coalition Shark. The unit is practically ready apart from a little coding problem.

    The secondary works using the same princible as the Japan Shogun Battleship. The only difference is that we want the unit to suffer a certain amount of damage when it strikes (whether this be a percentage or a value drop in HP doesn't matter).

    No matter what we've tried the unit doesn't seem to lose any health. Any ideas?

    Many thanks

    Great effect, although I'd try and reduce the size of the area it distorts so that the structure doesn't look like it's coming apart at the atomic level.

    However, it works really nice and can see it really enhancing the visual look of the faction.

    Also, you can't actually open a w3x file in 3ds Max. You have to install and run a script that allows you to import w3x files. If you get 3ds Max 7,8 or 9 and try what you did above, you'll get the same error.

    What really annoys me is that I looked at that code briefly but couldn't work out where it would go - so dismissed it!

    One of the reasons I love this community, if you try hard enough and show that you not looking for someone to do all the work for you, people are genuinely happy to help.

    Really appreciate that, works like a charm. I'm going to disable the link effect as it will be a global upgrade so you could end up with several link lines.

    in Maps & Mods

    Creating a tech upgrade

    Hi guys,

    I've run into a little problem when trying to create a tech level upgrade. The tech structure in one of our factons is required to build second tier units, and you can purcahse an upgrade from this tech structure to further access the third tier units.

    The first part was easy enough, but creating the third tier tech upgrade has cause some problems.

    Currently, the code within the structure for the upgrade is as follows:

    Code:
    			<TechUpgrade
				id="ModuleTag_TechUpgrade_Tech3"
				Radius="390.0"
				DistanceType="RECTANGULAR">
				<TriggeredBy>Upgrade_UCTech3</TriggeredBy>
				<ObjectFilter
					Rule="ANY"
					Relationship="SAME_PLAYER" >
					<IncludeThing>UBAirfield</IncludeThing>
					<IncludeThing>UBBarracks</IncludeThing>
					<IncludeThing>UBNavalYard</IncludeThing>
					<IncludeThing>UBWarFactory</IncludeThing>
				</ObjectFilter>
			</TechUpgrade>
    And also the button code for this upgrade:

    Code:
    	<ButtonSingleStateData
		id="ButtonStateUpgradeUCTech3">
		<State
			Image="UU_Button_RippeGrinder"
			Title="NAME:UpgradeUCTech3"
			Description="DESC:UpgradeUCTech3" />

	</ButtonSingleStateData>

	<UnitAbilityButtonTemplate
		id="MouseButtonUpgradeUCTech3"
		LogicCommand="Command_PurchaseUCTech3">
		<Data>
			<ObjectUpgrade StateData="ButtonStateUpgradeUCTech3"/>
		</Data>
	</UnitAbilityButtonTemplate>
    Within an upgrade.xml I have:

    Code:
    	<UpgradeTemplate id="Upgrade_UCTech3"
		inheritFrom="BasePurchasableUpgrade"
		DisplayName="UpgradeName:UCTech3"
		AcquireHint="UpgradePrereq:UCTech3"
		TypeDescription="UpgradeType:UCTech3"
		Description="UpgradeDesc:UCTech3"
		Type="OBJECT"
		BuildTime="1.0s"
		BuildCost="150"
		IconImage="Button_UpgradeMortar"
		Options="OBJECT_UPGRADE_PROJECTED">
	</UpgradeTemplate>
    And within the unit itself I have:

    Code:
    		<GameDependency>
			<NeededUpgrade>Upgrade_UCTech3</NeededUpgrade>
		</GameDependency>
    I also have the following logic commands:

    Code:
    	<LogicCommand
		Type="OBJECT_UPGRADE"
		id="Command_PurchaseUCTech3">
		<Upgrade>Upgrade_UCTech3</Upgrade>
		<AISpecialPowerInfo Heuristic="UPGRADE" Manager="BUILDER"/>
	</LogicCommand>
    Code:
    	<LogicCommandSet
		id="UBTechLabCommandSet">
		<Cmd>Command_PurchaseUCTech3</Cmd>
	</LogicCommandSet>
    The button works and you can purchase the upgrade. An EVA message is displayed when the upgrade has been purchased, is signalled on the minimap, and the button greys out.

    However the unit within the war factory still remains disabled and says the purchase of the upgrade is still required.

    I think it's got something to do with the fact that it's not transferring the upgrade data to the war factory, because I've used the code from the Allied outpost as a basis but it's not showing the 'link' between structures.

    Have I missed something obvious? I would really appreciate your help.

    Please note the purchase times and costs are for testing purposes only.

    Many thanks

    What do you mean by doesn't work. Is there an error when you compile, or is it just that the changes you've made just aren't showing up when you play the mod.

    Could you tell us what you have changed?

    I looked at that possibility but I couldn't work out how i'd use it, as it stores the units currently within the chronosphere radius and simultaniously moves them. We'd need the units that enter the transport to be stored for later, hidden, then pulled back and put in a specific place within a certain radius of the units.

    It seemed easy to modify all infantry to replace parachute with the chrono effects, as we are, in effect replacing the parachuting deploy with a chrono deploy.

    Thanks again though.

    Thank you to everyone.

    I've resolved all the problems now. I did it by modifying the units that can enter it. For the units:

    Create two ModelConditionState, one with a ConditionsYes for LAUNCHED and the other for PARACHUTING. Set the Model to Name="" so there is no model.

    Create another ModelConditionState, this time with a ConditionsYes for PARACHUTE_LAND, and include a ParticleSysBone within it with an appropriate FXParticleSystemTemplate.

    I also had to remove any parachute models too. Obviously this means all parachutes will act like this, but for our mod, this isn't an issue.

    Changing a transport deploy code

    So here's the thing...

    Our lead coder has been on hiatus for the last 6 months so I'm currently doing the coding myself. I have a reasonable knowledge but have got stuck.

    One the units for Red Alert 3: Unleashed will be the Chrono Transport. The idea is that it acts similiar to the bullfrog, but instead of shooting men out, it teleports them with a chronosphere/chonoswap/timebelt effect (albiet a shorter distance than the bullfrog is capable of).

    Our lead coder said it was possible, but now I've come to code the unit, I'm a little stuck.

    I've tried numerous ways to do it. One way was increasing the speed of the bullfrog mechanism, and changing the angle so it doesn't shoot into the air. However you can still see the unit move, but very quickly.

    My question is - can this be done another way and use a similar deploy mechanism as the chronosphere so the units appear instantaniously? I've tried to find out if there are any other variables the ejectpassenger special power has that could be used, to no avail.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Many thanks

    He's not giving you an order. The SDK won't allow a mod name to be more than 15 characters. He's just telling you that if must be under 15 to work (and if you had read the documentatino like he suggested you wouldn't have run into this problem in the first place).

    "copy of fix SampleMod2" is more than 15, so you have to change it if you want your mod to work.

    It should be in the same folder as xml file you've edited above. Just so we're clear, what you must do is create a folder in your SDK folder, for example:

    \RA3 MOD SDK\Mods\Mymod

    You also need a data folder:

    \RA3 MOD SDK\Mods\Mymod\Data

    I would look at the sample mod that comes with the SDK:

    \RA3 MOD SDK\Mods\samplemod\data

    In here there is a file called mod.xml. You must have a similar file in your mod's data folder which includes each of the other modified XML files. You should put your modified XML file in this data folder and include the name of this file in your mod.XML file. The mod.xml file will probably need to read:

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AssetDeclaration xmlns="uri:ea.com:eala:asset" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
	<Tags></Tags>
	<Includes>
		<!--
			mod.xml is the central include for mod setup data.		
		-->
		<!-- These includes need to be in all mod.xml files -->
		<Include type="reference" source="DATA:static.xml" />
		<Include type="reference" source="DATA:global.xml" />    
		<Include type="reference" source="DATA:audio.xml" />

		<Include type="all" source="SovietAntiVehicleVehicleTech3.xml" />

 </Includes>

</AssetDeclaration>
    For ever XML you edit, you need to have the file in the data folder and include a new line in the mod.xml file. Hope that helps.

    It saves a screenshot in your clipboard. You now need to open a painting program (such as Paint, which comes free with Windows). Go to edit > paste, and it will paste the screen shot into Paint. Save this somewhere on your computer and then attach the file to your reply here.

    If so, what is the error message? Is is displayed within Red Alert 3, or is it a Windows error message (i.e. the game crashes and shows an error messgae). What does the error message say?

    Some great work. I would suggest that for the new buildings in Soviet facton the build times and deployment mirror existing buildings, as currnt the build more like a Allied structure. Myabe this is down to no build animation, in which case I can understand why you implemented it this way.

Also will the yuriko army be just clones of herself or will it be a yuri type faction with different units
    There was a coding problem with having the gun at the front of the IBV (see my other thread). You may find some answers on our website:

    ra3unleashed.webatu.com

    But specifically:
    1. The IBV allows men to shoot out of them similar to the RA2 Battle Fortress.
    2. Yes, you will be able to play as FutureTech. See here.
    3. No idea whether we can add white to the list of colours (but I'll look into it).
    4. Yuriko uses cloning technology to create her "children" and these basic infantry look similar but don't possess her abilities. The rest of the Children of the Sun faction are unique. See here.

    You need to apply the rest of the coding form the IFV game object xml file for the weapons, infantry garrison, etc.
    I did consider this, but doesn't that make the file exteremly long (the IFV is already long for just one infantry).

    The problem was the engine trying to combine more than 1 forced fire within the same unit where the range of the internal uinits exceeded the range of the containing unit. The solution was to create a "fake" weapon as was previously suggested that is just for targeting, and then extend it's range to a stupidly big number that wouldn never cause a problem (like 99999.00). This way no matter where in the map you force fire, the internal units range is still less than the containing unit.

    This has caused one small side effect (that being that the unit will only start moving to attack a unit when clicked when within 200 units). THis may be something I can fix, but for the moment having a unit that doesn't crash the game, is a bonus.

    Nope, that doesn't change anything, game still crashes when you use force fire. I think we may have to resort to plan b and have the unit either shoot a certain type of weapon from each port, or have it so it doesn't have a weapon of it's own.

    I've looked over the code and altered mine to mirror as much of the code as possible. Unfortunately the same problem occurs. Could it be that RA3 just doesn't allow for the combination of the transport container and a weapons template?

    Unfortunately I don't have TW on my PC, so can't install the SDK. Maybe you could PM me the xml if you have it?

    Unfortunately, that didn't work. Even without a weapon, it looks like by calling WeaponSetUpdate and including any weapon template is what is causing the problem.

    Sounds promising... any exisiting units have a rangefinder weapon you know of? Just not sure of what this code is, or which weapon template it would be.

    Garrison Unit (Battle Fortress)

    As part of Red Alert 3: Unleashed, we have a unit, not unlike the Battle Fortress - the Infantry Battle Vehicle.

    I'm having a little trouble with the coding. I can get the units to attack from inside the unit:

    Code:
    			<TransportContain
				id="ModuleTag_Contain"
				ObjectStatusOfContained="UNSELECTABLE ENCLOSED CAN_ATTACK"
				ContainMax="4"				
				AllowEnemiesInside="false"
				AllowAlliesInside="true"
				AllowNeutralInside="false"
				AllowOwnPlayerInsideOverride="true"
				ShowPips="true"
				EnterSound="VehicleEnter"
				ExitSound="VehicleExit"
				KillPassengersOnDeath="false"
				PassDisabilityToRiders="true"
				ConditionForEntry="INVALID">
				<PassengerFilter
					Rule="ANY"
					Include="INFANTRY" />
				<DieMuxData
					DeathTypes="ALL" />
				<PassengerData
					BonePrefix="FX_SLOT">
					<Filter
						Rule="NONE"
						Include="INFANTRY" />
				</PassengerData>
			</TransportContain>
    The unit has it's own weapon separate to the garrisoned units:

    Code:
    			<WeaponSetUpdate
				id="ModuleTag_WeaponSetUpdate">
				<WeaponSlotHardpoint
					ID="1">
					<Weapon
						Ordering="PRIMARY_WEAPON"
						Template="JapanAntiInfantryInfantryWeapon"
					/>
				</WeaponSlotHardpoint>
			</WeaponSetUpdate>
    But any time you use force fire and move the mouse too quickly, the game crashes.

    If I remove the unit weapon, this problem disappears - but if you click a enemy to attack, the IBV stops because it can't attack (even with units inside). Only once the IBV is close enough to the enemy does the attack command work. That makes the unit kinda suck - that you have to walk up beside to the unit you want to attack before you attack rather than just clicking the desired target.

    Alternatively, if you remove the CAN_ATTACK code from the container, the units will attack on command, there is no crash, but they don't autoattack.

    Any thoughts?

    I'm not much of a coder but:

    1. I believe you can, if you look at the twin blade it has two weapons, the minigun and the rockets. The same princible should apply.
    2. Interesting idea. I guess would start with the code for the Allied Aircraft carrier as that creates 'units' from another unit and they return to it to land. Couldn't say if it was possible without doing some testing.
    3. You can model/UV map and animate... do you belong to a MOD team, if not, would you consider joining the Unleashed Team?
