[MOD][WIP] The Demolisher[CANCELED]

[TheNewbie]

Hello! I am The Newbie and I'm creating a ship mode with custom weapons. I have already created my ships image, cloaking image and I'm starting making my custom weapons. EDIT :




I am playtesting the ship right now! But,I cant find my custom weapon no matter what happens! 53 stores visited nothing found!


Things to do: Custom ship image:done
Custom weapons: just some minutes till I finish them
Custom ship:done
Gibs:5/5 (done)




Do you hear that sound? No? Well, I have to tell you that this is the sound of progress.

use www.imgur.com to upload pictures, it's really very simple.

but besides that, explain your problem a little better please... I don't understand what you mean when you say you "can't find the code the pictures show" ...?

[TheNewbie]

Let me explain to you : I followed AtillaBosmas's weapon guide but the values the codes he shows are different than the ones my blueprints.xml have! I tried to do what AtillaBosma does (with the different value codes off course) but as I expected nothing happened. I think that AtillaBosma's guide is too old or that the steam version which I have has different values than the version this page has (but I'm sure that it's not possible that the different version has different values than the other one). P.S. Thanks for the tips and for replying so fast to my post! P.S.S. I love your mods.

can't wait to play with this ship

[TheNewbie]

I hope I'll finish soon!

OK, looking that the blueprint, I take it this is what's causing you problems:

Code: Select all

<image>missile_proton</image>
<weaponArt>missiles_proton_strip</weaponArt>

What this means is, you must have 2 separate entries in the file animations.xml.append - each of which corresponds to the images (the first is missile image, the 2nd is launcher image).

Show what you have in animation sheet for these - they will consist of an <animSheet> and an <anim> entry for each one, e.g.:

Code: Select all

<animSheet name="missiles_energy" w="100" h="43" fw="25" fh="43">weapons/missiles_e_strip4.png</animSheet>
<weaponAnim name="missiles_energy">
	<sheet>missiles_energy</sheet>
	<desc length="4" x="0" y="0"/>
	<chargedFrame>2</chargedFrame>
	<fireFrame>3</fireFrame>
	<firePoint  x="15" y="15"/>
	<mountPoint x="7" y="30"/>
	<chargeImage>weapons/missiles_e_glow.png</chargeImage>
</weaponAnim>

<animSheet name="missile_e" w="32" h="80" fw="32" fh="80">weapons/missileE.png</animSheet>
<anim name="missile_e">
	<sheet>missile_e</sheet>
	<desc length="1" x="0" y="0"/>
	<time>1</time>
</anim>

As you can see, this matches up in name to the blueprint I showed above - the <image> is missile_e and the <weaponimage> is missiles_energy

So, this is probably where you are going wrong, if your animation sheet is incorrect.

[TheNewbie]

Thanks! Thanks so damn hard!

[TheNewbie]

If I manage to fix an error which the Superluminal has, the ship might be ready tomorrow!
