New Units

Post by Archeonix »

Hi

I am a French Modder which begins on Paraworld.
I would like to know how to create a new unit and integrate it In-game ?
I started with a Triceratops Transporter :

*Note: I am using Edz Level Editor because the Booster Pack will not work with my game and it's the same for the mod forum

Hi Archeonix, welcome to the forum :)

You have already tried the Win7 Patch? You can find it in the Windows 7 Topic in the Techcenter / Technical Support forum on this site. It should help with your problem.

Edit: This one http://db.tt/WA0kKWAr

Cheers

Maybe someone could post more than one word? :D

With my limited knowledge I can only add that the techtree can be edited with the map editor (SDK) from the Boosterpack too

hi Archeonix! welcome to our forum
the whole procedure to integrate this kind of unit (animal, transporter, etc.) in the game is rather complex
it will take some time before we can grant you a step-by-step guide for it, but do not worry, we are glad to help you ;)
The Dustriders are nomads, who endlessly roam the parallel world with their tamed dinosaurs, which they use both as riding animals and as powerfull combat units, designed to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.
Feel the power as you destroy enemy after enemy using the T-Rex Titan, the king of dinosaurs!

Can unit modding really be done with only the techtree? I thought it needs modifying the paraworld files in the \script subfolder of the game as well, doesnt it?

It depends if you are using server side scripting to change specific unit behaviour. You need at add IdleAnims in some file and other stuff, but in the techtree you can add a new unit based on an existing CLASS, like Character, Animal or Building (etc). Making new classes requires scripting.

Also, you need to add an entry for the unit in one of the classes txts (/Scripts/Server/classes/) so the game knows what kind of class your unit is, this is also what determines where your object type will show up in the SDK.

icon, description and sounds shall be added as well
but even the techtree work is complex (the production entry, the part for different levels, weapons section, etc.)

Oh, and having the AI actually USE your new unit needs AI-side scripting.
