Hey guys, another problem for you, probably some minor thing I don’t know about but still... My Mod is coming along nicely now with lots of different actors and bits so I thought I'd try making base modules...

I wanted like... a watchtower kind of thing so that I could put them up easier on my base when I'm building. Trouble is the one I made crashes the game every time I select it from the buy menu.

I'm pretty sure it’s a minor code bug but I'd be really grateful if someone could take a look at it for me if they get a chance...

Its not really decorated to my faction's look yet, just wanted to get it working first so yeah, if it gets working it'll be plain and would be of good use to everybody.

Where is the MAT image?

In the folder... and now right here:



Also this:



What’s up with that? It’s probably linked with the crash but I haven't seen it before so I don’t know what it is.

Hi there,

Two problems were up:
- One: These .bmp's were in RGB mode. The colours should be Indexed, or 8-bit, if I make any sense here.
- Two: The pictures were not in the CC palette. (Keep in mind that the .mat files need a different palette than the regular CC pictures!)

To solve both of these problems, either modify an existing CC .bmp file (since it would be in the right palette) and save it, or use a more advanced picture editor.

These won't be a future worry though. I've changed them for you.

Edit: These are the two palettes used by CC: Use anything else and stuff gets mucked up.

Wow... thanks! I never knew there was a different pallet for the Mat files and such.

Also thanks for the colour pallets that’s going to help me a lot in the future.

Since I used most of the CC base tiles anyway I was copying the bits from their files to ensure I didn't go wrong, thing is I went wrong by pasting them into a wrong-format bitmap file [a file not confined to the CC pallet] and that’s why the colours got messed up... rookie mistake, shouldn't happen again.

I see now, learning curve and all that... thanks a lot Gotcha! You've been such a great help!

For anyone who may wish to use it:

Attached is the finished Outpost, working and unmodified from the original base module colour scheme. Please give credit if used/edited in any other mods!

No problem. Just drop me a pm if you get stuck again.

Or you could have used this. For future reference, Gotcha, you can refer them to that.

Ah, brilliant. Nice job.

Actually there's an error with that.

Open Materials.ini in base.rte, The RGB value of every material is the color used by the materials pallet. the only reason the other colors aren't in it, is that no bunker module or scene uses other mat's yet. go ahead, use that ugly color of xenocromium. its like some sickly green crap, and oil is an off black. Every material in materials.ini can be used in a bunker module as terrain.



On topic again, pre-fab bunker stuffs are amazing, and makes things way faster. its just bunker modules, but its still nice. good job.
