I checked out how to enable the hind but its not showing up only changed the tech level of it

Also I'm getting ready to sort out the units for the sides and about to replace Yuris team to fit on mine I was considering putting TS buildings to fit in till I build up some new ones does this affect anything?

Ok another problem I keep getting crashes when using 3ds2vxl all my files go corrupt or something I can't open them in the voxel program

Ok for some reason I got no replys but I think I need to recheck my code of the hind I'll keep the yuri buildings and I'll change them as I go

also wondering which is easier to build units using pre existing parts and mod from them or using something like 3d max

My reason was having nothing to reply to - if you're having trouble with code, show the code you're having trouble with :rolleyes:
By units do you mean shp's or Voxels?
C&P shps look bad, so its pretty much down to whether you're better at 2D or 3D, then touching up in OS SHP'r. Voxels I say learn to make as voxels rather than 3D, because without manually touching up after conversion, they're generally ****, and if you learn the easy way first you may get lazy at the point poor voxels become good.

Alliance ;South Korea


What mod are you playing? :p

Anyway, do you have all your weapons in place and their warheads. Missing weapons, even elite ones and warheads can cause IEs. Also, try using the traditional cameo naming system, like GRENICON or something.

Ok I think I'll rename this topic for the mod in question so if any problems arise I'll add them here

So right now I need to know how I can export a palette for my custom load screen I'm using Adobe photoshop 7 so I need to know how I can get the palette so I can get it colored correct on OS

second is RP for TFD only cause My friends borrowing my copy so I've been resorted use my original RA2/YR game but I tried adding 2 new countries but yuri is now one of them for some reason I got north korea going but china seemed to take yuris place though its still named yuri which I need yuri as a place holder for the 3rd side

dunno if I had some coding problem or my RP isn't installed right

Edit: ok nvm about that pal problem I looked up some threads here

Edit: again I take that back I'm still stuck every time I try to change the PNG to a pal XCC crashes!

also wondering where I can find sites that have public voxels and shps like ra2 argentina

IIRC, Westwood had some totally other plans for countries - as in Confederation, Alliance, Arabs etc., implicating the Third world mostly had changed after Red Alert.

Confederation = The Latin Confederation - Cuba, not Libya. I'm guessing this was Latin America.
Africans = The African Empire - Libya.
Arabs = The Arab Union - Iraq. Most likely the Middle Eastern countries.
Alliance = The Asian Alliance - Korea.

New versions of XCC Mixer don't like PNG, try using PCX (though you will need a program like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro to view them). Are you using unittem.pal for the shp image? Infantry and structures have to use that palette. Also, when you say XCC screws the image up, is this when you try and convert it? If so, XCC Mixer does this when you resize images when converting sometimes. Unfortunately I don't think it can be helped.

XCC Mixer will crash regardless of which way the conversion is as long as there is PNG involved, so SHP > PNG or PNG > SHP will result in crashes. Sometimes even viewing PNGs can result in crashes.
