New version!

Changes:
  • Support for setting unit heading.
  • Support for sound effects added.
  • Units can be deleted and tags can be set by right-clicking on units.
  • S44 compatibility: victory and defeat effects transfer units to Gaia instead of destroying them.
  • Fix: the side is now set correctly (might make Eternal Struggle work).
Mission projects are not compatible with version 9.

Tip: CA comes with loads of useful sound clips! Find them in /LuaUI/Sounds and /Sounds in the mod, which is just a zip archive.

It works for me. I just merged EvolutionRTS-v10, EvolutionRTS-v108-Update, used the modinfo.tdf from EvolutionRTS-v10, and zipped them. Do you still get that error after following these steps? Does it work with CA?

PURE: Huge SDZ Edition loads in the mission editor, for me. However, when I play the mission, it fails with:

Code: Select all

LuaRules/draw.lua, error = 2, LuaGadgets/gadgets.lua, [string "LuaRules/Gadgets/glsl_lighting.lua"]:43: attempt to call field 'CreateShader' (a nil value)

I still get the same error :-/

CA and s44 work fine. I have no idea what is causing this. The only thing that I can think of is an issue with x64. If I get a chance, I'll run a vm with windows xp and see if that works. Hate to go to all that work just to test but I dunno what else to do.

Feedback:
- It would be cool if when it failed to load buildpics it just used a black box with the unit name in it or nothing at all rather than crashing.

It would also be nice if you could include files which would always be bundled into the mutator when it was built (for if you wanted to add say 1 special unit ie 'capture the prototype super flash tank!').

My idea for a CA mission was where you started with only a Rector and though some logical thinking and micro you managed to wipe out a whole base via capture and resurrect, the problem was that Rectors now have a full build tree so ideally i'd like to remove their buildoptions by either:
- Including a mutated unit (without buildoptions).
- Including a custom lua gadget (which removes building).
- Editor option to block certain commands (ie building).
- Editor option to edit unitdefs.

Any of the above would be neat.

It just places transparent boxes on the map, on my computer. When does it crash?

Everything in MissionBase, in the same folder as the mission editor executable, will end up in the mutator. You can add your files there. You can also include your modified units, which will cover the originals.

It's already done in my copy. It will be in the next version.

New version!

Changes:
  • New conditions: unit created, unit finished. Making tutorials should be easier now.
  • New effects: lock unit, unlock unit. These disable and enable the building of specific types of units.
Mission projects made with version 10 or below are not compatible with version 11.

Just place the first unit.

Making saved projects last can potentially require a large amount of time, but it looks like it's the n. 1 most requested feature now, so I'll seriously look into it.
MidKnight wrote:Maybe a mission upconverter? How much work would that take?
It's very likely the old missions just can't feasibly be upgraded. Until I use a new save system.

ok we nailed the issue me and argh are having tonight (thanks quantum).

THE sdz HAS TO BE MADE BY 7ZIP!!!!

I was using a prog called izarc which I like because it supports damn near every archive format on the planet (including 7zip), and 7zip only supports a few.

Um, I'm using 7-zip to make my zips. What compression settings are you using? A screenshot would be very helpful. I haven't tested the latest build yet. Also, is it even possible for the World Builder Gadgets to be run, so that the editing environment's properly showing where things are? Just asking... seems like World Builder and this could go hand-in-glove.

so when i place a com somewhere, this is the startpoint?

would be nice if you would expand the triggers:

e.g.:
unit built AND THEN time elapsed


also would be nice if a this option would be added:

number unit built (e.g. 2nd solar built)
let a unit dissappear (without explo....)

Just tried version 12. Zipped according to Forb's settings. Tried with the latest version of P.U.R.E. Core (i.e., all of the code, including all Unit FBIs).

No dice. Still crashes.
