didn't check the framecount. I'll check that out.
Thx
Edit: Checked the framecount, it was at six and I changed it to 5 to see what it would do and it is still giving me the same error message.

I am new to modding and spriting and such. I am having trouble getting a Drop Crate body sprite to work. The sprite is in CC Palette and is a bmp file. I'm sure there is a simple solution i've just overlooked something. Help is much appreciated Failed to load datafile with the following filepath. Combat Pod.rte/Images/Combat Pod000 |

Check FrameCount of the object that uses the sprite, make sure the FilePath is correct, make sure the image has the proper name. |

Is the image named Combat Pod000? The 000 at the end is required. Also if your framecount is set to 5 then you need Combat Pod001, Combat Pod002, Combat Pod003, and Combat Pod004 images as well. |

Huh... Did you forget to add the ".bmp" extension? |

I changed up the framecount and got it to work. Thanks for your help. I have a feeling I will continue to have minor problems along the way though.

Don't worry, we all make them now and again, especially when starting out. It's when your minor problems turn into big problems that you know you've become a modder! |

Alas, I have come to a second obstacle. Just a couple things that prevent my mod from working correctly: The drop pod tilts to the left when landed. This throws my soldier into unwanted situations.  I was wondering if there was some way to prevent tilting once landed on flat surfaces.The drop pod opens once landed and sometimes it doesn't. Plus, i cannot open/close the drop pod doors on command. Am I missing some section of code? As always, help is much appreciated. |

First the drop pod always doesn't open if its in to deep. As for the tilting, you'll have to fix how it comes down. I don't remember how though, |

To combat the rotation and delivery, you can attach a small lua script, like this one I made up for a project a while ago. It will orient your drop craft so that it is always upright. When it hits ground it'll gib and deliver your troops. Attachment: |

Oh shi-! lua! As a txt file i converted it to a .lua file. there was an error message that said "File name is not followed by a value with the filepath Combat Pod.rte/Altstop.lua on line 1,2,3,4. Something to that extent.  Helps!

I hope when you said you "converted," you mean "renamed .txt to .lua." Also, it ought to read "ScriptPath = Mod.rte/sub-folder/script.lua" Not FilePath. |

Yes, i did rename it. I put the lua script into a sub folder and included it into the index but I don't know if its right though. ScriptPath = Combat Pod.rte/Combat Pod lua/Altstop.lua

Posting the actual error would be cool, rather than a summary. Even better, the mod .rte. |
