Modding Help Needed

[gliepner]

ive been working on a mod all day. i plan on making a total mod once i can figure out how to change the graphics/sounds/etc. but i have a few problems, the one ive been trying to fix all day is the siege tank. when i train a siege tank my game crashes. ive tried everything that i can think of to fix it but nothing seems to be working. any suggestions?

You changed the sub-unit and that is probably why it crashed, if not, state EVERYTHING that you changed. But if it is, then lucky you since you can change it back.

Hope that helped!

i did change the subunit at one point, but i did change it back. and ive changed just about every single unit that you can create during the game (no heros, no unused buildings, etc.)

Is it everything about your mod? (i mean what you have posted in the zip file)

Anyway i can suggest only two things:
1)make sure you hadn't used arsenal3 (for some reason, my mods with arsenal3 made the game crash)
2)look throught another once (or more)

what do you mean everything about my mod? i used Datedit.

Well you can do the mod over again. One time for my first mod I had to scrap the mod 4times (one time was even a finished version but it randomly crashed for no reason sometimes, and i couldn't figure out the problem).

You probably zipped to fast through this mod. Modding should be done carefully. And make sure you know what you're doing.

PLUS: The ZIP file says the subunit is changed. Unless you updated it... Tell me ANYTHING you did that has to do with the Seige Tank.

i fixed it. but now i have other glitches. i had to take the .dat files out of the arr file and put them back in one by one to pinpoint the file. if i remember right it was the images.dat that had the glitch. i tried fixing whatever was wrong but nothing seemed out of place so i just redid the images.dat. which fixed the siege tank problem but now i have others. theyre not as bad though so i should be fine. my next problem is balancing the mod. i want it to be really fun, but i dont want any one race to be too powerful. also i would like to learn how to change the graphics and sounds and whatnot. one more thing i would like to do is learn how to do the "spreadshot" effect like the dragoons and photon cannons have in doom dragoon. hell i wanna learn how to do all of that that he did in doom dragon. that kicked ass lol =]
