 Anyho'  - I've noticed something; back in v_1.4 we could place a
flagpole & then change it to, say a building or whatever, via hacking
into the mission file and change the "VEHICLE" type.

Now ( v_1.75 ) all I get is NOTHING   No change, nada!!!!

Wassup w/ that, soldiers?! Is this true   :'( ... coz if so, it's a disaster!!!
It will mean that everyone now needs the editor addons to be able to
play missions which contains custom placed buildings/objects  

Lemme hear yer own experiences on that one, pals  

TORF ?

[Sui]

Really? So it will revert back to the saved file huh?

I wonder if that is the same with side changes... (which are about the only reason I ever modify an .sqm file with a text editor).

As far as building placements go:

bld = "buildingname" createvehicle position

:thumbsup:

buildingname should be exactly the same as it appears in the .sqm file

[Gameer_77]

Well, you can certainly change the sides by editing the .sqm in Res, dunno about the whole house thing though.  :-\

 8)PEACE

[Bremmer]

You can CreateVehicle Buildings?!?  

*falls off seat in shock*

Fantastic tip there Sui!

1. Really? So it will revert back to the saved file huh?

2. bld = "buildingname" createvehicle position

---------------------------

 1. Yeah - that's what it did to me....   bloody evil game engine!!!  

 2.  :wow:  neah sheeet!!!!!  :noo: ;D is that correct?! Now I've heard it all  

    GREAT... no wait...

   [size=8]GREAT NEWS THERE[/size]


            Rockin' sui  

 

I must try this at once!!!!

Still, I'd like to hear if you morons actually share my experiences on this
(the reverse-hacking stuff ).

*rushes off to create tons of houses*

I think its just you Tomboy.  I made a very nice hangar from a barrel.

Why are you editing anyway?  You are too busy to be having fun!

[Tomb]

True that! But my professors are giving me 60 pages (english txt and I'm danish) per day,
so I thought a lil' eng. lectures in the editor & here would shape up my brains!   ( )


  ;D


PS. Are ya sure? ...about the hacking??!

[icarus_uk]

100.1%  I turned a "barrels" into a "Hangar_Hall" with no problems.

[Tomb]

Odd   I just tried it again, and I got zippy-nada-thingy but a flagpole  


LOOK HERE :

------------------------------------------
class Vehicles
{
items=1;
class Item0
{
position[]={9865.645508,26.730000,4016.887939};
id=1;
side="EMPTY";
vehicle="FlagCarrier";
skill=1.000000;
markers[]={};
};
};

--------------------------------------


See, it's done the right way, but still it suck?!  

where it reads FlagCarrier I typed : Housedumruina_mini (a valid house name)
But when I preview the mission it's changed back to a frikkin' flagpole!!!  

[Messiah]

hmmm tomby old boy - works for me - and icarus and probally everyone here...

*shrug*

ummmm... try and reinstall resistance - i cant possibly think what you could be doing wrong...

u are just changing the vehicle name to a new name so that it will become a house or whatever?

try and use a barrel or a fortress (barrel works for icarus and fortress works for me)

not much else i can think of...

weird danes  

[Tomb]

  Hej mezzy-dreng!  ;D

Well, from now on I'll just use sui's method & put a named trigger on the map
and simply "createVeh. getpos trigg_name" the buildings I need  


...but if other ppl (maybe ppl with v_1.46) wanna DL/play a mission which uses
this method, they might experience a crash or two  
Thus: I'd like to know if v_1.75 really HAVE "killed" the good ol' hacking method or not.

The new way of doing this is cool - NO doubt about that, but
in my opin. uploaded missions should still be made with the old method, hence the
"easy-download-easy-gameplay-no-crashes-warrant" we all like to see  

makes things cool for everybody, regardless of yer version!

1) da create veh command is valid 4 1.4 versions

2) as me nd icarus nd mezzy told u - NO

dats eanough ?

[Tomb]

Never!   ;D I'm a stubborn bastard - I refuse to believe that I actually have
a bug in my private OFP install.   :noo: Heck, my son has broken the orig. disc so I
only have the RES cd, which means I can't reinstall the game.
(and why'd I do that when everything else is working fine?!)

Bottoms are: wtf is this   my own version of the game is starting to
auto-revert any hacking I do  

that's probably the oddest thing I've ever seen!   :hmm:


BAH! nevermind
