How to turn Invasion Barge (object) into a new unit?

Post by GottaLove88s »

Gents,

Does anyone know the steps involved in creating a new 3D unit using BA's invasion barge (it's a map object from Sealion)?
Same question for the assault barge (an Arnhem map object) please?

Thanks!

You should be able to just hook it up as per a normal unit. The only issues will be that there are no animations or FX points, so you won't be able to blow them up etc very convincingly, but it might still work depending on how I have it set up with regard to the default points.

So basically just copy the s4f and texture to the appropriate folders. Add _0 to the s4f filename, and then create a txt file with the 'animation' data in it.

Cheers

Pip

Ship? I heard ship? :P

I already tested it:
- I copied the txt file of M3 halftrack.
- So the anims is ok. Except that the ship moves toward. :roll:

Looks good A! Merci encore pour nous aider. Did you figure out how to make the ship sail forwards, rather than backwards?
