Custom Artillary

**MDegage** · March 31, 2009, 04:31 AM

Has anyone successfully created a unique artillary unit? I've done ships and land units, but have not been able to customize my own artillary units. Seems to crash when referencing custom projectiles.

Specifically I can not seem to find the first Artillary ID Ref in any avaliable DB. Example: Mortar_mortar_8inch, and even if you use an existing artillary unit and reference and existing but different Artillary ID Ref - it will crash on battle load.

Any Ideas?

u will have to look in 2 pack file if u want to add a gun~~
=>gun_type_to_projectiles_table from patch.pack
to define the relationship between gun and shell

=>projectiles_tables from patch.pack
to define new shell for ur gun if u need to.But it's ok to use existing shell

=>gun_types_tables from main.pack
to define ur gun,this is why ppl always fail as they only look in patch.pack and this table is not in there~~

I uploaded an example mod~~

so that Artillary ID Ref is found in main.pack? cause it is the only thing I have not been able to track.

And why do I get CTD when I try to edit existing artillary and simply change what shells (projectiles) it uses?

so by modding the gun_type_to_projectiles_table i should be able to have the ottoman organ gun shoot explosive shells?

As that would be, intresting...

I think Artillary involves the most DB's then any other unit.

donno about Artillary ID Ref,but I believe it's something about texture

Not sure what u did but I have never met CTD by changing shell~~
