Help with cloning

rodan54 · 04-19-08, 01:10 PM

In preperation for a new aircraft model, I've been setting up all the required files, .dat, .dsd, .zon, and .sim, along with all the other cfgs and roster files, and using S3D have remaped all the id's in said files. But when I load up the game, although it looks to be working i.e it doesn't CTD when in the museum, the aircraft doesn't move, is semi-transparent, and doesn't emit any noise.

So any thoughts on what I'm missing here? I could've sworn I successfully did this before, but right now I'm truly stuck.

Sure sounds as if the cloneing process was not correct.
No sound and no movement is a sure sign ID links are broken.

Doh, turns out I just remaped all the id's to individual random values instead of properly linking them back to the base model.

Thanks for the help.

Yea, for each unit, use a new 'base value' but use that value for all files of that one unit.

Also another tip is to remember the base value (save in a txt-file) so you can redo or even undo it later if you ever need to.
