Sorry if this has already been answered (I searched). But I was wondering if the size of an object in cortex command is reliant on how large or small the spite is. Is it possible to reduce the size of the spite with out losing detail? |

No, but the is a variable ( scale ) but f's with the sprites and makes them look bad, and f's up all of it's coding. So, you need to agree with what you can polish out of the scaled sprites. |

Ah, thank you. Is there a method besides trial and error to correctly size it? |

Just scale it to a rocket or a bunker piece. Or take a screenshot. |

Hmm, I successfully got a gun in game, but an odd glitch is happening. When it's pointing to the right, it appears fine http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x156 ... litch0.jpg but when pointed left, it goes all freaky like http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x156 ... glitch.jpg Whats happening here? |

Your gun must be in the CC's palette that has 256 colors. You can find that palette.bmp in base.rte. Good luck figuring how to load it on your sprites. |

Yeah you'll need to recolor it using the pallete, which shouldn't be too hard. I would recommend going with meh sprites and learn how to code cc first, otherwise you'll have alot of cool sprites but they won't do anything. Trust me, I know from experience. Good luck! |

I'm trying to make my first (and hopefully not last) mod , its a simple gun. My problem is with magazine, CC says there is error "Could not match property in blah,blah at line 1!" and its: AddAmmo = Magazine. I'm kind of stuck here as I have no idea what possibly could be wrong with this. I've spelled it corectly (even copied and pasted it from other mod to be SURE). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? |

Code: AddAmmo = Magazine InstanceName = Magazine Battery Mass = 4 HitsMOs = 0 GetsHitByMOs = 0 SpriteFile = ContentFile FilePath = PlasmaGun.rte/Battery.bmp FrameCount = 1 SpriteOffset = Vector X = -3 Y = -5 EntryWound = AEmitter CopyOf = Dent Metal ExitWound = AEmitter CopyOf = Dent Metal AtomGroup = AtomGroup AutoGenerate = 1 Material = Material CopyOf = Bullet Metal Resolution = 2 Depth = 0 DeepGroup = AtomGroup AutoGenerate = 1 Material = Material CopyOf = Bullet Metal Resolution = 3 Depth = 1 DeepCheck = 1 JointStrength = 200 JointStiffness = 1 JointOffset = Vector X = 0 Y = -3 ParentOffset = Vector X = -2 Y = 2 DrawAfterParent = 0 RoundCount = 60 RTTRatio = 0 RegularRound = Round CopyOf = Round Plasma TracerRound = None AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOPixel CopyOf = Spark Yellow 1 Count = 5 Spread = 2.25 MaxVelocity = 20 MinVelocity = 8 AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOSParticle CopyOf = Gib Metal Rust Micro A Count = 4 Spread = 2.25 MaxVelocity = 15 MinVelocity = 5 GibWoundLimit = 2 Right now its still pretty much ak 47 but i'm planning on some more serious changes like brand new material for bullets and some glows, muzzle flash and sounds, well and maybe other sprite but i'm not good at drawing. |

Don't do the materials thing. due to coding techniques used by Data, custom materials is a bad idea. It's not neccesarry anyway, 'specially not for bullets. |

But if I won't try to do this just because its tricky what i will learn ? Also I want it to be somewhat different than ak 47 or smg , you know its plasma gun its not supposed to shot metal bullets  and I don't aggre that custom material is not necessary (try physanium sprayer, its just a sprayer of custom material but effect is kinda intresting ). So anyone has idea whats wrong with my magazine ?

You don't get it. It's really easy to make custom materials, but the problem is if you use the same material number as someone else's mod, the game will poo its pants. Don't do it. |

I don't see a problem here. Its not like it must work with all other mods, and its easy to change when that happens. On topic ( or rather real problem here  ): So what about magazine? I don't think somethings wrong with my first line so maybe its something messed in CC ? I think I'll try reinstalling it (but on the other hand all other mods work just fine)EDIT: Reinstalling didn't help ( no suprise here ). Meh its kinda  , I'm trying for 3 days to do something that should take 30 minutes. Someone has ANY idea? I'm at lost here. I dont see anyhing wrong with my 1 line and its keeping to pop out this error. No matter what I try.
