Hello All!
I am new to your boards and have been perusing them for a few days now and have to say that I have never seen such a friendly and helpfull modding community before.
It is quite refreshing to see such generosity and respect shown to guests and members alike.

Now, on to my question.
While I was playing around with the code for the Dwarven Guardian Unit, I saw:

;--Siege Hammer
	Behavior = SubObjectsUpgrade SiegeHammer_UpgradeGuardian
		TriggeredBy		= Upgrade_DwarvenSiegeHammer
		HideSubObjects	= axe shield
		ShowSubObjects	= hammer1
	End

What I would like to know is where I can locate either the file or a list of the Weapon/Armor SubObjects for ROTWK.
Have a great nite all and thank you for your time,
Lucky Liam

Solinx: You can use code tags to structure code. Edit this post to see how.

Hi, let me be the first to welcome you to revora.

Now, these subobjects are part of the model. Some parts are hidden by default. What this behaviour does, is this: Show the hammer and hide the axe; both objects are there, but you can't see one. I don't think there is such a list you are looking for.

Hello Lucky Liam,

And thank you for the praise

Like Hard_Sander said, there is no list of all the subobjects. Subobjects have to be attached to the model of the unit you are editing in the ini, so you could look at the model and see what options you have, but there is no list of all subobjects, not unless someone has viewed all models and made a list

actually their all wrong. you can see as good as a list to all this,

download RenX and all that which can be found throught he 3rdage.net website,

along with renX and the w3d viewer comes a program called "WDump"

its a program which reads all the data behind w3d files. so just open up the model you want, and for each subobject or main object/model there will be a new "chunk Mesh"

it can be confusing when you first looka t it, but within each "Chunk Mesh" look at the W3D_CHUNK_MESH_HEADER3, on the right you can see the name of the subobject and other...msotly irrelevant information, to find the skin of a model/subobject you look at the W3D_CHUNK_TEXTURES

Now i know this isnt really a list of all the models and their subobjects/skins. but it is very helpful i found, for one you dont have to instead open and import w3ds through a laggy RenX and i don't know another way of directly findout out what the skin of an object is....


bt anyway enjoy nd lemme know if you need more help

W3D Viewer, it can open multiple W3Ds at once and is quick to load.

ahh i wasnt sure bout that, my one doesnt work though

[Lucky Liam]

That would explain why I couldn't find them or change the weapon to a 2 handed sword instead of an axe and shield.
Considering that I'm only cappable of coding right now, I wont be able to do what I wanted then.
Thank you all for taking the time to answer and the warm welcome. It is highly appreciated.
Have a great day all,
Lucky Liam
