Max_Caine 53 Posted February 28, 2015 Mikhail hasn't been on this forum for a long while. Now my attention has been drawn here, I'm now considering retiring this thread in favour of something more up-to-date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
korsss 11 Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) thx MAX, may be the new tutorial sometimes will be added ? it`s to hard 4 me to add the new weapon in the separate mod. I1am trying but it`s don`t working. Edited March 1, 2015 by korsss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max_Caine 53 Posted March 1, 2015 My advice is start a new thread asking for help and tell us what you want to do, what you've done, what you've tried to do. If you can include bits of code or even attach appropriate files (using a suitible filehost) that would help, and me or someone else can take a look and see what needs doing.

korsss 11 Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks a lot Max. But first of all I will trying to change the goodworking and simple mod, (may be Khall`s carbines). I hope that i can find bug`s by myself ))) I dont want to waste your time))) Thank you))) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only file you can trust to excel is researches.xml. this is my experience. Any other program then excel itself will break the xml files probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the same log file and it works. for now Dont care log file so much.. this is the last step.. you create a weapon and give it to your soldiers hand, go for mission and fire.. and be happy.. the beginning of modding this game is yeah very hard.. you need to give yourself time.. If you want to do it really, after a while you will get use to it and stop making errors.. i can add a new airplane in 10 min with whole images and coding.. but at first weeks i just try to find a bug (probably a missed character which you never can see) for 2-3 days and couldn't find it and remade everything..

korsss 11 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) yep ) hardships make`s us stronger )))) but its hard to make something when you can`t understand where is your mistake )) there is only one good thing )) my english will be better ))) I am bielding the one-shooting rocketlauncher. I have made images, sphere and others to working. I1m trying to make it shoot only one time. It`s perfectly shooting as a rifle. hmmm.... the job will be done, but it is the really terrible system.... CTDmodding system ))) PS is this correct in english ? The RPO-A "Shmel" (Russian ) (RIF-A "Bumblebee") is a man-portable rocket launcher although it is classified as a flamethrower , (Reactive Infantry Flamethrower). The RPO-A is a single-shot, self-contained tube shaped launcher which operates much like some RPG and LAW rocket launchers. The same person can remove the tube, place it in firing position, and launch the weapon without assistance. After launch, the tube is discarded. All models are externally similar. Each weapon contains a single rocket. The basic rocket is the RPO-A, which has a thermobaric warhead (2.1 kg) with cumulative tip. Range: 1000 m, Sighting range: 600 m. Length: Launcher 920mm, Rocket 700 mm. Weight: Weapon 11kg, Rocket 6.5 kg. For high-explosive impact 93-mm caliber flamethrower not inferior 122-152-mm artillery shells. Guaranteed smitten volume of 80 cubic meters. When shooting on the open end, the area of damage is 50 square meters. RPO`s is the most powerfull weapon of Soviet/Russian ifnantry.

max20077 10 Posted March 4, 2015 I'm trying to implement a weapon and I got the soldier loadout screen part down, the only part I'm having trouble with on this guide is how to make it show up in the soldiers hands on the battlefield. I read that part of the guide and I can't understand what Mikhail is talking bout and how to do what he is talking about. I downloaded the program he linked but I don't know how to use it. Since the instructions on the link and this guide aren't clear enough for me. As for the soldier spectre file he keeps talking about thats where I am getting lost at, I can't understand how to do that since the instructions aren't clear enough for me. Basically what I am trying to accomplish is use the Pistol spectre I guess and apply it for the weapon that is a pistol but use the games vanilla pistol spectres for it. But i'm getting stuck at how to make the soldier_spectre file Mikhail keeps talking bout for my weapon, and I don't even know how to use the program he linked since the instructions there aren't too helpful there either. Can anyone please help me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can anyone please help me? 1) Download the .pfp unpacker and copy the xen_unpack and xen_unpack_log .bats as well as the node folder to your xenonauts/assets directory. 2) Copy the xen_unpack .bat file and paste it *as a shortcut* in the assets folder. 3) Right-click on the shortcut you just made and go to 'properties'. 4) In the 'target' field, add a space at the end and then: GC_UnitsXML.pfp. Click apply and ok. 5) Run the shortcut. It will open with a command console and if everything is running correctly will begin displaying output of the files being unpacked. Leave it until it finishes. 6) The unpacked spectres are now in the assets/units/ folder. You'll be able to find the soldier_spectre .xmls in the relevant armour/weapon combo folders.
