Dark Sim 905 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 In 3DDATA0001.RFH, what are the names of the 4th, 5th and 6th Veterancy Level Icons? If anyone knows, help would be appreciated. I feel like chaning those... :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 i know, just give me a minute to find the filename..... It is !Veteran#. Does that help? Are you making a mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Sim 905 Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Very well. Thanks. I've searched thru the whole thing and haven't found it... I must be missing something heh.What I'm also trying to learn is getting a new icon's background correct, it's a bit diffcult in my opinion. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollyon Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 the 4th 5th and 6th veterancy levels use the range bonus markers as icons (the red triangles) thus you will have to change those tgas to edit the veterancy level icons which will also subsequently change the range indication marker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sim 905 Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 It's not likely, because they're not the same size.Frodo - I have a blank template. Well one that I made. Not perfect, but then again, no one is. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollyon Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 well it may not be likely but im afraid that its factask king pin. He was the one to discover the extra levels and he also thinks the same way as me in this matterand anyway i checked and the tgas are the same size. Both the height-range bonus tgas and the veterancy level tgas are 32 x 32 pixels. Check for yourself if u want. The file names are !height0.tga, !height1.tga and !height2.tga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 i didn't know that there was 4th, 5th, and 6th veterancy levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sim 905 Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 Well try it. It's cool getting something fully promoted to 6th veterancy, and if it's infantry, making it Elite.Once you have 6, at max veterancy, send them to a barracks, and pump out fully promoted infantry. :PI finally realized that units in stealthed, when they come out of a barracks, are NOT in guard mode. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 that's cool, i knew that you could cycle the elite units, but i always wondered why it wouldn't work with 3rd level veterans. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sim 905 Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 Example:// LEVEL 3 -------------VeterancyLevel = 3Elite = TRUE (At Level 3, this must be here, so that after the unit is promoted to this level, he can move into a barracks, even after level 4)ExtraRange = 50ViewRange = 13Get it now? Need help? :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollyon Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 its just a shame u cant change the texture for the 4th and up levels. I wonder where its programmed to use those texture files nyway ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Sim 905 Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 I thought of that too, finding some type of text file that shows to use that exact texture... I'd be fine using that start texture, or like, something else, or making those bigger... I guess it'll have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobdouds Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 they didn't, they made height icons also able to be used in veterancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
