Converting TA Units

[Slamoid]

I've been trying for a while now, and I can't seem to get it. I already extracted the GAFs to their proper Springpoints, and it still crashes on load. Can somone give me a step-by-step for converting TA units to Spring?

Post your unit and let us see...

And don't forget to take off the .zip off the end. I can also post the modinfo.tdf if needed.

Well, I'd say your modinfo is pretty fucked up indeed. Try something like this:

Code: Select all

[MOD]
{
	Name=Nuke Subs;
	Description=Arm Ohio and Core Red Oktobar Nuke Subs by Nikola Genkov, converted to Spring by Slamoid;
	URL=http://www.fileuniverse.com/spring/;

	ModType=2;

	NumDependencies=0;
}

I'm guessing the dependencies you had are what was fucking it up in the first place (see this page for details on modinfo files: http://taspring.clan-sy.com/wiki/Mod_specification ). The scripts look like they should operate fine in Spring. You do not need the unit buildpics in the anims folder at all, in bmp or gaf format. I'm not too sure about the nuke buildpics, however; look to XTA for precedent on that. You definitely don't need the Gaf files at all, though.

I messed with the dependencies, and still no luck. The ones that I used originally where from the OTA Shiny pack.

Anyone else have any ideas? And when will Modtype=2 work right?

[Slamoid]

Ok, I got it to work. It was the way I was zipping. I'll just use UFO for now, it works fine there.

why are your screenies .txts?

geocities does not allow hotlinking of images, however it will allow text files to be hotlinked. Age old workaround.

Yeah, but FireFox doesn't know they are images and so print a text file with weird textures.

Looks ugly. What is it? Senshi Designs' Starship Pack ?
