The game replace my unit with this unknown one
The game replace my unit with this unknown one
I can't make the game use my flash unit. I don't have this model in my mod, no object, no script, no fbi, nothing in the gamedata. I don't even have GUI folder anymore.
But the only flash unit it want to build is this strange one (up the stumpy). My model, even my cob/bos script, is not used. Hell, the game refuse even to take my unitpic : In the menu, left the stumpy pic. The unitpic is replaced by a black hole !
Actually, i'm pretty sure the game know my flash is here because the log say it don't find the textures for "objects3d\arm_t1_veh_flash.obj", and that's my unit.
Ideas, somebody ?
For the laugh, i don't find WHERE is this damn one-barreled flash. Totala1, CCdata and Rev31 don't have it

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
Done some tests.
Now my mod folder have only the files of my units and the Sidedata.
In the Sidedata, i have replaced units by my own units. TA Stumpy by my own Stumpy.
They don't have the same name : TA Stumpy is ARMSTUMP. My stumpy is arm_t1_veh_stumpy
Mean the TA units my own replace are not in the mod folder anymore, and are not even present in the Sidedata file (and i don't have Download or even GUI folders)
But IA still build old stumpies (and new, too. Funny to see the two fight side by side).
And, of course, the game refuse to build my Flash. I put it in rank 7 in the vehicle factory : The unitpic show darkened and not clickable (and no AI seem to build it). The log file don't show any problem.

Clear cache dir maybe?

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
Clearing the cache should help indeed. I am going to build a new package, there is a new option that does it automatically (even better it just doesn't use the cache ).
PS: the new packages are ready

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
I delete the entire cache folder each time i test. That change nothing in this case : The game still use units that are not in my mod and not even in my sidedata file. And my last unit got a darkened and non-clickable unitpic.

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
do you use the mod system or do you use global files ? Normally mod files should have priority over global ones unless there is a bug.

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
I use the mod system, i think : I put my stuff in .ta3d/ressources/mods/lemur annihilation/"folders of the mod"
Here the thing :

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
I´ve just checked your files, everything seems correct. I think there is definitely a bug in TA3D. I am in vacation in Spain right now so I won´t be able to fix it before I am back (sunday next week).

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
For one : I think the fact TA3D, in some cases, put the unitpic in darkened mode and generally don't let it be clicked is a proof it think there is a problem. Then maybe adding the problem in the log file can be of use.
For two : Sidedata + GUIs + Download folder is too much complexity. If you add it the game use also totala1, ccdata and rev31, it start to be hard to understand what do what.
For simplify the thing, i do some suggestions :
1° Use of the Sidedata.tdf file as base file for mod configuration :
Use of a variable "Onlymodunit".
If "onlymodunit=0" (default), the mod accept to read "build menus entries" for units in files out of the mod (say, in the totala1, for example).
If "onlymodunit=1", the mod accept only to read "build menu entries" presents in the mod.
In the [sideX] sections :
Add a [Buildmenu] { "coordinates" } and put the build menu here.
Add a [Ordermenu] { "coordinates" } and put the order menu here.
add a [Buildarrow0] {"coordinates"} an put the arrow "the menu before" here.
Same for "Buildarrow1", "Orderarrow0" and "Orderarrow1".
Use of a variable "BuildmenuY"=x where X is the number of unitpic the menu use in heigh (Y axis).
"BuildmenuX=x" : Same for the width (X axis).
"BuildmenuYspace=x" : Space in pixels between each unitpic for the Y axis.
"BuildmenuXspace=x" : Same for the X axis.
OrdermenuY, OrdermenuX, OrdermenuYspace, OrdermenuXspace : Same for the orders menu.
For making sure the game put "gigantic" Unitpics where you want, use, again in the [sideX] section, of the variable "blankunit=x", where x is the name of an unitpic (example : "blankunit=coreblankunit").
When, in a "Canbuild" variable, the game find a blank, it just use as unitpic the one in the variable "blankunit" of the side (and make it unclickable, of course).

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
for this, I repost a suggstion, that add a option or a program to know what resource using in TA3D at moment...
and very great to see D.Durand /:^)

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
This is a real problem. Maybe we could use a kind of (explicit) dependency system so you would have to say somewhere: my mod needs OTA, OTA + BT, OTA + CC or another mod ... so you would explicitly tel TA3D what to load and what to look for.

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
I think the problem is how TA was made in too many parts, with a "normal" mean for adding stuff (probably the Gui files), a debug/fast mean (i think the "gamedata" file is not a normal file), and a "third party" mean (download files).
Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
TA is weird by it make up by folden, but not diffrent file format. just let diffrent format mean diffrent use. let moder deside what the folden used for

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
It's indeed but this has to be fixed in order to have mods working properly.
=>;-D Penguin Powered
Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
My problems are actually :
- Unit pics darkened and unclickable without error message in the log file.
- Gamedata from the mod is not first priority for the game, making some of the "canbuild" into it replaced by units not in the mod.
- AI use units not in the mod (funny to see old and new stumpy fighting side by side, but it's not what i want).
And i think i can be happy with that.

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
I tried to reproduce the dark buildpic bug ... unsuccessfully. Which (global) resource files are you using ?
=>;-D Penguin Powered
Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
Well, Total1, Rev31, CCdata.
Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
Okay... I uninstalled, then reinstalled the ressource files AND TA3D.
And now, all build menus are darkened. Picfiles are shown, but they are unclickable. Even the AI don't build anything
The log file don't say why, but found some other errors :
Even when i try other mods, i can't build anything.

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
Tried to run the game without the ressource files : No change. The unitpics are still darkened and unclickable. But what is strange is they are all here, even thoses who are not in my mod, but only in total1 & co.
Even the "default" mod work like that (i mean, unitpics darkened and unclickables, but they are here).
How that even possible ? The cache folder is void.

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
I think I know what's going on: TA3D uses a useonly/useonly.tdf file (you'll find this in your ta3d.cfg file in the "Game Data" variable) which doesn't list your units for a yet unknown reason. Just remove (or clear the whole Game Data variable) the useonly/useonly.tdf from your ta3d.cfg file and it should work.

Re: The game replace my unit with this unknown one
Work, thank you. But each time i try to change the mod, i need to delete all the gamedata again (and the game crashe if i try to go battle after changind the mod without relaunch the game.
