Hey, I just started making a kind of test mod to see if I could make something new instead of modifying something else.

to cut the crap.

I am trying to make a kind of laser rifle of my own(there are plenty but I wanted one) so I took the HDFirearm code from the Wiki and spliced in some of the beam rifle code to see what I could do. I have little to no clue whats wrong or if this will even work(cant play cc while it doesnt work so the positioning isnt right or anything else for that matter) could you all take a look at this and fix it so its right (all errors gone up to line 109) much appreciatio would follow.


dont flame me on my complete lack of expirience but I dive right into things its how I am.

Why do you need two threads?

Also, if you are going to post code, put in code tabs.

Two threads was unnecessary. I might suggest just uploading it instead of pasting in the code, it makes it easier for us to help.

Line 109 is FilePath = cortexcommandwip.rte/canoran carbine.bmp, yes?

Make sure your capitalization and spelling is correct. Both matter to Cortex Command.

sha-pow! wiki attack! http://www.datarealms.com/wiki/index.php/Modding

Or for a list of all tutorials; http://www.datarealms.com/wiki/index.ph ... king_Index

Since no-one ever goes on the wiki I feel the need to promote it... All my articles just wasting away.

edit: Also it proves that even though I never release any mods I am in fact very good at modding... Or I have a very good knowledge of how to mod... At least to me.

Sorry about the double post, toatly accidental.
To restate the problem: line 110 is not working.

To restate the answer.

Yes you can, either move the folder somewhere else or remove the .rte from the fold so it isn't loaded. Then when you want it to load again add the .rte back into the folder nam.

Guys you stupid people, he spelt it "SriteOffset" on line 111.

Not sprite offset. If it errors on line 110 it means the error happened about than five lines after that.

You should know better, Sixteen.

And we normally don't care about new modders as long as they don't release their first mod.

Good luck learnin'!
