Mod making

Land Unit URL0303 (cybran - Loyalist) has antimissiledefence.

Look into URL0303_Script.lua and search for MissileRedirect.

Maybe every race should have at least one bot with antimissiledefense.

Yeah but all of these weapons also have to have a point from where they start right? attach bone in code
I often tought about this one tough. Can you give this ability that easily to another unit then?
Apart from if it is possible or not and how cool it is, i think redirecting missiles could be to strong also.

p.s. i'm stil having trouble with giving a unit more categories in wirtten code.
You gave me a nice function to remove a category altough i haven't tried it as i haven't needed it but i can't find how to add one either.

[Uveso]

Adding a Category into the array is way easier then removing, just one line:

Code: Select all

table.insert(bp.Categories, 'TECH1')


[StylisticSagi]

thx! I never wound have found those lines.

I can't seem to find out what i am doing wrong with these lines :S

Code: Select all

      --anti nukes max 3 storage
      if Categories.STRUCTURE and Categories.SIZE8 and Categories.SILO then
         if bp.Weapon then
            for _,weapon in bp.Weapon do
               if weapon.MaxProjectileStorage and weapon.CountedProjectile then
               Weapon.MaxProjectileStorage = 3
               end
            end
         end
      end

btw i try to upload a mod in the fa lobby but after you select the file the upload button doesn't seem to work :S

p.s. do you know what the map file of the t3 anti air is (like ueb2108 being the uef missile launcher) i can't seem to find it . I want to test and try make the anti air unit also give some sort of missile defense.

Is it possible to change things in the script file?

[Uveso]

Is it possible to change things in the script file?

Sure, you can change the scriptfiles from units, or you can also change scripts from gamefiles.

If you change game files, you need to copy those inside your mod inside the folder "hook\lua":

E.G. you like to change the defaultweapons.lua, then copy it to:

\Mods\YOURMODNAME\hook\lua\sim\defaultweapons.lua

And modify it there.

[StylisticSagi]

How do i update mods? do i really have to create a new mod file.
I can't even find how i can delete my mods on the servers...

[Exotic_Retard]

you cant remove mods from the vault. that would break replays.
to update a mod you upload one with the same name and a different version.

the current mod vault in python client is broken since it doesnt hide old versions of mods. so yeah.

[CookieNoob]

you also have to change the UID of the mod for the new version. If you didnt do that, the upload will have created a file anyway. You have to skip the version you tried to upload and continue with the next one.

@Retard: unfortunately watching replays doesnt auto download mods (thats why these replays desync when you dont have the required mods). Your comment is true for maps but not for mods.
