LaserTarget_vehicle correpondence

[HakunaMatata]

Hi again

Does anyone knew what the LaserTarget_vehicle correpondence is.
I cant find any HeatTarget_vehicle.

I would like to knew what it is that triggers the heatwarning. Adding a HeatObject is not enough. There has to be at least one more parameter.

Re: LaserTarget_vehicle correpondence

Add this lines to your vehicle's tweakfile:

rem ---BeginComp:WarningHud ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent WarningHud
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.firstWarningSound HUD_Laser_Track_Warning
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.secondWarningSound HUD_Laser_Track_Warning
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.warningIcon Ingame\GeneralIcons\Action_Icons\large_laserlockicon.tga
rem ---EndComp ---

This should help

Hi Wolfi

Thanks for responding. I understand when I read your awnser that my question was badly formulated.

In vehicles there is this line: LaserTarget_vehicle and those lines you posted:
rem ---BeginComp:WarningHud ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent WarningHud
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.firstWarningSound HUD_Laser_Track_Warning
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.secondWarningSound HUD_Laser_Track_Warning
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.warningIcon Ingame\GeneralIcons\Action_Icons\large_laserlockic on.tga
rem ---EndComp ---

If you remove one of these you get no warning.

My question is how does it work for airvehicles?
Why is there no HeatTarget_vehicle? Just adding an HeatObject and
rem ---BeginComp:WarningHud ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent WarningHud
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.warningType 2
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.firstWarningSound HUD_Heatseeker_Track_Warning
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.secondWarningSound HUD_Heatseeker_Lock_Warning
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.warningIcon Ingame\GeneralIcons\Action_Icons\large_laserLockIc on.tga
rem ---EndComp ---
to a land vehicle is obviously not the way to do it.

BTW Im working with the altas files and maybe Ill can reveal the connection between the "large_laserlockicon.TGA", MemeAtlas.tai, MemeAtlas.tac and MemeAtlas_020.dds. :) There has to be cordinates in the tga file that has to match those in the taifile. :hmm:

Re: LaserTarget_vehicle correpondence

To make ground vehicles visible in the bomb sight of a jet just add

ObjectTemplate.addTemplate LaserTarget_Vehicle

To enable the warning sound for ground vehicles (SRAW, Eryx, ..) add

rem ---BeginComp:WarningHud ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent WarningHud
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.firstWarningSound HUD_Laser_Track_Warning
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.secondWarningSound HUD_Laser_Track_Warning
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.warningIcon Ingame\GeneralIcons\Action_Icons\large_laserlockicon.tga
rem ---EndComp ---

If you want to make ground vehicles visible and lock-able for the heatseeking missiles, add

ObjectTemplate.addTemplate HeatObject

If you want to hear the heatseeking sound in the target vehicle add

rem ---BeginComp:WarningHud ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent WarningHud
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.warningType 2
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.firstWarningSound HUD_Heatseeker_Track_Warning
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.secondWarningSound HUD_Heatseeker_Lock_Warning
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.warningIcon Ingame\GeneralIcons\Action_Icons\large_laserLockIcon.tga
rem ---EndComp ---

Re: LaserTarget_vehicle correpondence

Re: LaserTarget_vehicle correpondence

Just a little question: German? If yes, visit our forum at http://bf2-mods.de
There are some modders around there, maybe you can get german help

Im sure i can learn to understand the atlas system, if i had more time for this.
I dont know how to work with the nvidia atlas tools but im the kind of modder who tends to do it the old-fashioned way by editing the tai files manually :laugh:

Re: LaserTarget_vehicle correpondence

Darn, I am embarrassed. My old eyes could not see the difference between:
ObjectTemplate.createComponent WarningHud
and:
ObjectTemplate.createComponent WarningHud
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.warningType 2

:rofl: (at my self)

thx for your exceptional patience. :salute:

Re: LaserTarget_vehicle correpondence

ps you are not going to get far manually editing tai you may use rexman tool its makes easier for adding a picture to and atlas.

[HakunaMatata]

Re: LaserTarget_vehicle correpondence

Isn't the tai file just the (missing) link between the tga-image and the atlas file? Ill look into rexmans tool.

BTW wolfi, do you knew if its possible to have both warningtypes in one vehicle?

Thats what tac files and atlaslist.con is for, make a new tac file, add the name of the tac file to the atlaslist.con, in the tac file put the data needed for your new images, then run dice_textureatlastools.exe.
