Crates

[Warlord Ripskar]

I can recognise money crates, Sardaukar crates, Ix crates, Tleilaxu crates and the wrecks that contain Ix, Tleilaxu and money crates.

What do the promotion crates look like?

Are there any other sorts of crates?

Promotion crates together with money/invisibility/faster ROF (i found this one out while making my signature)/unit crates are all looking the same.

If you want to know the look of it, destroy a wrecked vehicle (in the campaign) the crate that'll appear is a money crate, which looks the same as the (see above)

There isnt a faster rate of fire crate. Not according to the rules.txt anyway.

Kens right, the crates that he listed do look the same. You can only hope that when you click it, it will be something you want.

[Apollyon]

well of course. Westwood/IG were going to include a booby trap crate as well that exploded when you picked it up but they decided against it.

[Inoculator9]

You could probably edit the crates so that they gave faster rate of fire... It would be pretty difficult though.

You also got the "map reveiled crate" and crates that give bonus vehicules like adv carryall,devestator and an engineer.

And there are many others like the MCV, APC, Harvester, ext, ext.

Yes there is, when i once let 1 of my sardaukar pick up a crate, nothing really happened so i then directed the sardaukar to the infantry rock, and i'd let both sardaukar fire on a certain place on the infantry rock at the same time.

SHOT 1: they both fire at the same time.

SHOT 2: sardaukar 2 fires faster then sardaukar 1.

The effect doesn't last the entire game for that unit though, only for awhile.

First, it is "etc." This is an abbreviation for "et cetera," which is Latin for "and others." Therefore, you can only use it once, as you would not say "and others, and others.

Any1 know why the "ixian projector" crate is giving an ixian infiltrator? I noticed this when placing that crate with the map editor on a EBFD map that i have made.

[Dunenewt]

Because of a bug with the original crate where a projector would come out

[Dante]

Can crates be modded to contain other things? Just out of curiosity...

[Inoculator9]

Of course they can. It's relatively easy process actually, I could make something like that for anyone who asked. I could do something like that for you, if you care ;)

[geberten]

Hehe.....would be nice if u cd make projections of the crates as well

[lowzeewee]

i like carrying projs to my enemy base and projecting devos ::)

but my favourite yet lamest is cloning scouts
