Trying to add "SEARCH PATTERNS" problem!
 

I managed to find a very easy way to do "search/evasive patterns" (had a lot of help from MushMartin)
So i got the patterns the graphics and basically all done, but I keep getting "unknown command , search pattern_4" (as I added a 4th search pattern to the "pattern.cfg"
Stock has 3 patterns.

Any ideas guys :yep:

Also added this to the "menu_1024_768.ini but keep getting the same thing

I had the same problem when I tried to add search patterns and I gave up. I'm guessing that, for whatever reason makes sense in the world of "new-fangled" computers, we can't add commands to the existing ones. We can change all sorts of things, but I'm thinking this is a case where the basics are hard-coded.

But then, the last time I did any heavy programming was in 1992 on an IBM midrange, so I'm no expert :rotfl:

Yea, had a go at this also when the game came out and gave up...Anyho, got some free time coming my way the next weeks, so I will give it another go.

I haven't looked up on sh4, but in sh3 there are only three hard codded commands for the search patterns

CMD_Search_pattern_1
CMD_Search_pattern_2
CMD_Search_pattern_3

I guess that's the same case with sh4.

Yep the same in SH4. The more I dig the more it looks like its hard coded. Have not looked in any .dat's yet. Could be a straw to grasp, but a very thin one.

Actually....ANVART! (shouting in a loud voice)i am sure you could find the code for this...or? ;)

CC maybe the fourth pattern is the template of the builder its numbered
pattern # 4 in the original aem mod try deleting the template
and see if that clears
