I NEED HELP!!!!

[bl@ckh@mpster]

I've added 5 veteran levels to all units in the game, but i can't seem to get any pics to appear after level 3. It just goes to a red arrow after the sergeant rank. The attributes for lvl 4 and lvl 5 work but i can't seem figure out how to insert rank pics for them.

Can anyone help me with this. PLEASE.

laterz.

try to locate the names for the tga files that contains ranks..

mmaybe rank1.tga rank2.tga...

And try to insert rank4 and rank5 as 2 new images

[bl@ckh@mpster]

Ya I have done that, the .tga files are !veteran0 ... !veteran3 etc.

It doesn't seem to recognize anything after

!veteran3.

Does it say anywhere in some file which pictures to use?

[Gobalopper]

I don't think anything above 3 works, I remember someone mentioning that before.

The veteran attributes above lvl 3 work, like armor, stealth, etc.... but the rank pics won't appear after lvl 3.

[bl@ckh@mpster]

:(

ya the pics to use are in textures, !veteran0.tga etc..

Thats right but you cant make the ranks *apperar*

There's no way to code the declarations or the art ini files?

[Apollyon]

ok, right.

Veterancy levels for ALL units AND turrets (yup try it) reach up to level 6

at level 4 the chevron is replaced with the Heightadvantage sign (a small red triangle) at level 2 its 2 triangles and so on. The only way to change the texture is to change the height advantage texture, thus changing the real height advantage as well.

[bl@ckh@mpster]

Ok, thanks, i was wondering what that red symbol at lvl 4 was. Thanks alot.

[Mike2k]

Well, you could decide to throw out the whole height advantage system, by setting the starting height advantage to a height far above any point on the map, so a unit will never reach it and will never get a height advantage. Unfortunately this also means infantry-rocks (which use the same symbol as height-advantage) also have to be excluded from all the maps (if you want it to be fully bug proof).

This is the price you'll have to pay for 6 venterancy levels :) (btw, the images can be adjusted, believed they're called something with *!height*.tga in it).

good luck...

That's a big price to pay for a couple of tiny pics.

But thanx for the info Mike. I think Im gonna give it a try.

Do these veteran rules apply to RA2? :-
