Structures by design

[Reg312]

Guys, I don't think that it'd be fair if the opponent cannot see what weapon is being used on that bunker, if the weapon was placed inside the bunker or made invisible, until it's too late.

i meant inside bunker but with visible parts of weapon.. hm seems its impossible

[Reg312]

bunkers with invisible machineguns was implemented
- aviable only for machineguns, except Twin Assault Gun
- have a bit better armor than another bunker
- both bunker types become aviable by 1 research item (you need research bunker to get it)
- removed all dunkers from research (leave them aviable only for AI)

[Goth Zagog-Thou]

Love what I'm seeing here folks. Awesome work!

[aubergine]

I am also drooling over this! I hope I get to put MRAs on towers at long last!

[Giani]

MRAs on towers might look weird...

[Reg312]

I am also drooling over this! I hope I get to put MRAs on towers at long last!

sorry, weapons enabled on towers: light and medium direct weapon, while MRA classified as medium indirect weapon
(open for suggestions on weapons classification)

also, you will be able to mod rules.js and change weapons restrictions

[Giani]

A bunker buster on a tower looks great But it would be useless because it is good against defences.

[aubergine]

Hrm, that's a shame because for me MRAs would be much better on a tower or hardpoint :s

[Emdek]

can you please make bunker model pie with connectors inside model?

Nope, I'm not an artist.

[Berg]

blpilbox.pie is the bunker pie.

If this is the model you mean by bunker then it already uses connectors to add another or to make the connector inside add this to bottom of file.
This adds a connector at ground level in centre of model.

Code: Select all

This is the original file it has a connector.

If you want this default model to have the one connector and have it inside the model change the last data entry 27 to be in the middle of the model height to 11 the model is 23 pixels at its highest so that is half its height.
If you want to have the default MG I suggest adding a extra connector as just changing the one there will likely place the default MG bellow 0 (ground level) so you will have to use the old for default mg and add a new one to hide the turrets inside.

The model blpilbox.pie file is located warzone_root/data/base/structs/.
I hope this information is helpfull.

It's not working for me. I unpacked to my desktop, then into my beta 7 folder in /Program Files .

[Giani]

I downloaded the version for windows and...

[Giani]

And the link for downloading the mod for windows downloaded wz...

[Reg312]

It's not working for me. I unpacked to my desktop, then into my beta 7 folder in /Program Files .

you dont need put upacked filed into beta7 folder (it may cause errors because in beta7 you have another data files)
all you need is unpack to new folder and run.

And the link for downloading the mod for windows downloaded wz...

yes, because its "alternative Warzone version based on latest master version"

I downloaded the version for windows and...
what happened next wasnt good...

and what heppened next..? did you tried run "warzone2100.exe" in upacked folder?
if warzone crashed, can you send "stderr.txt" file

if you have problems with windows version, also you need run it under administrative rights
No! Never run ANY program with admin rights when not needed, and this is NOT NEEDED! --Staff

[update] Added more steps in windows installation
1) Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/co ... px?id=5555
4) Install fonts from folder \Fonts in warzone unpacked folder
- onen file DejaVuSans.ttf and click "Install"
- open file DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf and click "install"

sorry, i unable to test windows version on clean machine, so is possible i forgot something else
