Hey.

Okay, mostly just for the hell of it, I'd like to try out modding a map for Renegade, specifically the official skirmish map, the variant of Under with bots.

Later, I'd like to rework all of the bots, but for now, I want to just add in some sounds. If any of you have played the practice mode, you'll notice that ONLY the GDI soldiers have any dialogue whatsoever, everyone else just has death sounds. WTF? So, I'd like to activate all of the character's sound.

I'm guessing I need the Commando Editor? I'm downloading that right now, plus I've got the XCC Mixer. Any help on adding active dialogue, vehicle bots, and improving the bots would be appreciated. Hell, if I could add in the Recon Bike, and maybe even the SSM launcher, that would be killer! And bots for them?! THAT WOULD DESTROY, THE WEAK! Thanks in advanced.

You might want to do that, but unfortunately, even we don't know how westwood made the skirmish map.

Mix to LE importer - proven to work with Skirmish

You don't even need to change the map to add nod dialogue - just make an objects.ddb mod that has the Skirmish bots' preset modified.

Good place to start - www.renhelp.net (currently down unfortunately)

Sorry, but I'm pretty freakin' new to this. If you have time, could you please elaborate? Do I open up Commando Editor with the presets pack selected? I've done that, found the sound files in the list, but haven't found any bot files. Do I need to extract the bot files? Also, Mix to LE importer... again, I'm a newb, although I have a slight idea on what your referring to.

All help or links to tutorials (I remember that website, too bad its down), would be greatly appreciated. I've googled objects.ddb, but all I get are hacks.Big Grin

ORLY!? Wow, I'm going to go-I mean, err, thats a bad idea. How could you do such a thing!
(jk^)
not really, they shouldn't work in WOL, unless some one else has the same thing, or your hosting a server, then idk.

=samous

EDIT: oh yeah, and the BOT files he is talking about are in the object.ddb, not the .mix or wherever your looking...

Any official editors for objects.ddb files? Do I need only a simple hex editor?

Level Edit, when you edit presets, will create an objects.ddb in the presets folder of the mod. It won't work online since it'd be considered a cheat, but works fine for self play.
