I want to launch a server with my terrain skins and tank skins ect. I know its possible if you can help I need to be told like im a retard.
Thanx
FP

Launch a ded. Server with the following

LightTank.resource = "game/data/shapes/tanks"/*enter you're skin name here*";

The ded. Server shoud atomatically download to you're clients.

For terrain find this part in the.mis file

New TerrainBlock(Terrain) {
rotation = "1 0 0 0";
scale = "1 1 1";
detailTexture = "game/data/terrains/details/detail1";
terrainFile = "game/data/missions/TT1_3.ter";
squareSize = "8";
tile = "0";
blockShift = "7";
locked = "false";
position = "-1024 -1024 0";
};

Change the TT1_3.ter to you're terrain file.

Simple

That doesnt tell me how to use my terrain skins

That's extremely.. Impossible. You can't launch terrain skins, you will need to make new terrain.

Ok I cant get the tank skin to load I believe its
Lighttank.shapefile = game/data/shapes/tanks/tankM3.jpg";
is this right or not

Here its LightTank.shapefile="game/data/shapes/the folder 4 ur mod/tank01.dts";
like 4 my mod I did
LightTank.shapefile="game/data/shapes/toxic/tank01.dts";

Opps 4got what u have to do is make a folder in ur shapes file and call it what ever like m3 mod or something then write a path to it like I didd above just letting u know that theres gonna be a long download for ppl joing

Revel

Do I have to copy the tank01.dts file into my mod file?

Yeah and the skin 4 the tank to the problem with this is u cant give ppl treads or brainjars

Do I leave the tank named tank01.jpg

Yes u leave it named tank01 but I cant do dedicated servers so I dont know what im looking at

Also its not tank01.jpg its tank01.dts

Revel cant I rename a terrain like 1_1mis to something else and add my terrain skins? And why dont any tank tracks show up

Im im not sure about the other things but no one has found a way to send the treads in a download I just learned how to do this 2 days ago

Did u get the skin thing to work?

Ya but with white tracks

U also have to put the tank treads and Ltread.dts and Rtread.dts in ur ffolder to but still other ppl wont see the treads thats just so u can but they can copy there tread files and put them in ur M3 floder and then they will se them

Im trying something meet me in ther in 5 min

K

It wouldnt let me in it said I did not have the related art "game/data/shapes/m3/main.cs.dso
I have to go eat dinner now but ill be back on in 30min

Ya I give up not worth it unless you can do the entire tank

Make a new 3d model (box will do, 6 sides is enough) with the treads image on it, hide it under the terrain. The image files will download, and they will then have the art.

Or, I THINK making a subfolder in Tanks should do it, Because of the way that TGE works I THINK that the skin is stored as the game reads up the tree ( folders ) although im not sure. Someone should try this out...
