Post subject:  Assist a noob with making a material, and a Bunker Module

So, I'll get right to it. I've just started into the world of CC modding, and I'm completely stumped as to how one goes about making new materials. I see the Materials.ini and the palette.bmp, but I don't know how to work with them. I'd also like to know how to use this new material in a bunker module.

Protip: in the end, I want to make a virtually indestructible material (could be concrete or metal) and make a bunker "Tomb" entirely out of this material. I hope you guys can help! I'M SO LOST :(

The entirely indestructible material thing has been attempted many times. It's impossible.

I see there's a variable called "StructuralIntegrity." Can't I just make that like a bunch of 9s or something?

It is possible.

Just not without ridiculously strong materials and some intuitive coding.

shadow is just saying that the ypsilon has destroyed every "invincible" bunker module.

I think you have to make a material palette including your color and set the RGB values to be the same, or it just sets the material to the closest colored material.

I'm totally new to this. Can you run me through on how to even do that? :)

You make a material.
Give that material a color with RGB values.
Go into MSPaint or something, make a palette file (palette.bmp) and put in the color you used by making a custom color and putting the RGB values.
When you make the material BMP for your module, put the same color where you want it.
It should work.

Of course I could know nothing about what I'm talking about.
Don't be surprised if it doesn't work.

I added this to the Materials.ini
Code:
AddMaterial = Material
   Index = 32
   PresetName = Super Chrome
   Bounce = 0.2
   Friction = 0.9
   StructuralIntegrity = 18000
   DensityKGPerVolumeL = 8.5
   GibImpulseLimitPerVolumeL = 15
   GibWoundLimitPerVolumeL = 0.1
   Priority = 10
   SettleMaterial = 182
   Color = Color
      R = 227
      G = 125
      B = 42

And made a duplicate "Tomb A" (using the mat of the attached image). However, the inside of the tomb still contains dirt from where I place it, and it has no strength at all. A grenade will make the entire thing fall apart. Halp meh!

Woundlimit=.1

There's your problem.

dirt still in bunker? You forgot to color the 'inside' of the MAT background purple didn't you? Look at the MAT for the tomb, the 'inside' of the bunker's colored purple.

Also, try to change the SettleMaterial thingy into this: IsScrap = 1.
