Hi all,
First i want to thank all the people that helped me over the past month or so! you know who you are! my hard work has nearly paid off my new map Temple_DM is nearly complete 95\% but i got one last problem........
i have added more characters to the 'secret characters section' (15 and thats just GDI!!!), created PT icons, given them the appropriate names, etc. everything works except the PT icons! i have spent so long on them it would be a shame to not include them! ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
I Have temped the 'character classes' (secret GDIi & Nod) and changed the icon texture file to the TGA i created (24 bit) in adobe i think i'm putting the TGA in the wrong folder?!? or putting the wrong path to the file, maybe??
i'm making a .mix, i know this can be done as other people have done it.
p.s Temple_DM ........ it's coming and it Owns! (soon)

Great any idea what the PT icon .dds settings are? I can only guess it's the standard 'dxt no alpha' and the first 'override' check box i dont see any need for alpha channels etc.
But other people have done it with a normal .TGA like Neosaber with his sniper only maps he used a normal .TGA for logan, the icons just dont show up it's just blank with the name and price displayed, thanks for the help
Anyone else?

I dont want to sell this mod!?!?!? ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
i need an answer to the question! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
can anyone help?
dante you've done it before on your tiberian evolution mod, good work by the way. can you give an example of the path to the icon?
neosaber you there? how did you get logan's pt icon to show up? and where did you place it in terms of folders in your mod?
This little problem has left me a bit baffled? ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
cheers
i'll get some screen shots to you soon, but you'll need to download it to really get the full feel of the map (the music captures the atmospere)

make sure to put a tga and dds in your mod folder, no special internal folder, just IN your mod folder, then temp a PT preset and name it exactly the same as the original.
Next, go through and edit as needed, be SURE that you have named the *.tga and *.dds in this format
code:
hud_cnc_*.tga
then enter that into the text box under "Texture"
then it will work fine for you.
*be sure you have a proper preset for the name, cost, and object as well.
hope this helps, will also make it so you can do .mix

I forget the forums for a day and that's when someone asks for my help
I placed the .tga file in the editor cache. I think I called it hud_cnc_logan.tga, although I don't know if the naming convention mattered since I named other pt icons differently.
To convert .tga to .dds I just leave the 'Compress textures on export' button pressed in Level Edit when I export a map. That takes care of the .tga to .dds conversion by itself so I don't have to worry about proper settings.

Here is a tip for you, use proper grammer and check your spelling. You can't be successful without a good public image, and online text is about all you have.
But your site has a very interesting look, I may have to steal a bit of the look for my "HIVE" project.

I think that one of the best things that vould be added to renegade would be making players able to set deployable turrets and cameras etc...
For example Tribes 2
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Very possible. I've done it twice (second time is going to be on a bigger scale: ie, bases instead of just tiny turrets).
Just use the beacon cinematics in combo with either a custom scripts.dll or text scripts.

Somewhere under Simple are post and pre cinematics for nuke and ion beacons. Those control the rain, sky, ion beam, etc. Just attach the script and it'll play the text script as soon as the cinematic starts.
