[WIP] Playable CA Maya II

[peabody]

I have the Japanese Maya in progress. I have remapped all IDs and made it a playable sub. (dive planes, torp tube, torpsystem in sim, unitsub in sim, AIhumansub in sim.)



BUT:

The guns are on the ship except for the front where the subs Deck gun is, but they do not fire. On the Japanese ship all they have is a weapon.cfg with the guns name and I assume the gun is coming from the gunsradar.dat. What do I need to do to make them fire. I was in a single mission with US ships and the only gun that fires is the Deck gun (I haven't fixed the .upc for the flack guns yet, just started)

Do I need to take the guns individually out of the gunsradar.dat and put them somewhere?

I 'think' I can get the deck watch crew added ok but I am clueless on the guns.

I don't know why you would be awed!! You are making your subs from scratch, much more work!! I am just using the stuff already there. But, thank you anyway. I was going to do the Takao but someone is working on that (Miner I think) so this is the sister ship, not as many guns, but still looks cool, if I ever get it working.

Damn I love the Maya...it is almost as beautyfull as the Panzerschiff

The guns are difficult
Your problem is, that you have no camera linked.
For the guns you need the .dat the .sim and the .cam
the .zon file is addiotional.
You know that all files were linked through IDs in their controllers
Now look at one of Mikhayl's or my playable guns.

Important is , that you link the cameras only with nodes with no function, often called dummy_cam or similar.
You also have to look after ID problems.

Just test a lil bit.

I'm not looking for playable guns, I'm asking about the non-playable guns. The deck gun camera works fine, I did not put in the flak gun camera yet. I just need to know why the non-playable guns are not fireing.

Well, color me stupid. I have a working deck gun, I never gave them a target!!! I put them on Battlestations figuring they would shoot at the nearest target that was shooting at us. Doesn't work that way I see.

Thank you very much Mikhayl, appreciate the help! And another thank you for the Cloneing tutorial to make this possible.
