| == Adding Tiberium (TD Style) ==
| | {{del}} |
| | |
| By Allied General, p.s. you someone tidy this up :p -- Tidied up -- DC
| |
| | |
| This tutorial allows you to simulate the damage effect of tiberium which was present in TD but also overcoming the following problems
| |
| I. damage only occuring in one cell
| |
| II. indiscriminate, unbalanced damage every frame
| |
| III. excessive lag
| |
| | |
| === The beginning ===
| |
| | |
| You need the template for tiberium in the first place, some good tiberium can be downloaded at RA2 Argentina (look at SHP, Other)
| |
| Note these files need to be placed in a expandmdxx folder
| |
| | |
| === RULES(MD).ini ===
| |
| | |
| a. create a new particle under the [Particles] heading
| |
| b. Use the following rules for your new [Particle]
| |
| | |
| Image=none ; its invisible
| |
| MaxDC=15 ; how many frames before damage occur, keep it small so damage occurs quickly
| |
| MaxEC=60 ; how many frames this last for, keep it small to reduce lag
| |
| Damage=150 ; how much it hurts, this damage ignores tags such as immunetopoison even if the attached warhead is poison=yes
| |
| Warhead=YourWarhead ; the scissors, paper, rock of the damage
| |
| StartFrame=0 ; best not to mess with this
| |
| EndStateAI=20 ; best not to mess with this
| |
| WindEffect=1 ; determines how far this particle moves from its starting position (defaults to 0)
| |
| BehavesLike=Gas ; best not to mess with this
| |
| StateAIAdvance=4 ;; best not to mess with this
| |
| | |
| d. Use the following rules for your [YourWarhead]
| |
| * advisable to add your warhead to [Warheads] heading
| |
| | |
| CellSpread=1 ; area effect damage
| |
| PercentAtMax=1 ; keep damage high
| |
| Verses=300%,300%,300%,1%,0%,1%,0%,0%,0%,0%,0% ; this is what makes this type of tiberium less indiscriminate, in this case
| |
| the particle will do fatal damage to infantry and tiny damage to light armour and heavy armour and no damage against
| |
| medium armour (ore miners), structures and units which utilise special_1 & special_2 armour. Alter this to the balance of your mod.
| |
| ProneDamage=300% ; multipler to apply to damage when infantry use prone sequence in art.
| |
| InfDeath=4 ; flame death like in TD, could be modified to any other anim and if PD Patch enable then possiblity of using mutation tags
| |
| although gendeath (i.e. brute death unadvisable due to remap issues)
| |
| | |
| === ART(MD).ini ===
| |
| a. use the following rules for [TWNK1]
| |
| | |
| LoopCount=-1 ; this animation plays forever
| |
| RandomLoopDelay=120,300 ; this gives a delay on the anim playing
| |
| HideIfNoOre=true ; dont play this anim if no ore present
| |
| SpawnsParticle=[Insert name of your new particle] ; the particle you made
| |
| NumParticles=1 ; the number to spawn, keep this low to minimise lag
| |
| | |
| Yuri's Revenge is required as SpawnParticle= and NumParticles= can not be used in RA2, this logic is based upon Virus killing victims and leaving
| |
| clouds of gas. The effect of this rules is for green tiberium overlays to constantly generate invisible particles which do damage but quickly fade away.
| |
| | |
| Now start up a game of YR and when infantry walk over tiberium patches, they should be a very high probability of them instantly dying.
| |
| | |
| NOTE: the slave miner generates slaves which use none armour, at present these slaves will instantly die when mining.
| |
| It may be advisable to change the slave armour type to special_1 or classify an armour type as immune to tiberium damage e.g. plate by ammeding
| |
| the verses characteristics.
| |
| | |
| Also note that references to ore e.g. audio comments and ore purifer should be modified and
| |
| possibly oregath.shp (the "hoover" anim when a miner harvests, but note this anim must be in a similiar format to the original to display correctly)
| |
| | |
| === "Explosive" Tiberium ===
| |
| | |
| Unfortuantly this has been disabled and even renabling the tags for this will lead to no such action.
| |
| | |
| Update: CellAnim causes reconnection error, you could alter the probablity of twinkles appear to improve the chance of spawning the "burn gas"
