vehicle lists...

[TheJamsh]

You'd never have thought this would have been so hard

I'm creating a custom vehicle list for the e-pack, and only half the vehicles work correctly, or display the information from their .inf file. SOME of the ODF and xsi filenames have a _ in them, but this shouldn't make a difference as so do some of the stock ones.

Inheritance DOES work for vehicle lists because thats how the dm vehicles work, but for the love of pete i can't get the information to show up, sometimes the XSI doesn't even show up!

any thoughts?

fixed... i didn't realise you had to have a .inf file exist with exactly the same name as the ODF file to display information. I'll leave this up in case anyone else ever runs into the problem

[TheJamsh]

cancel the fix... ive got half of it to work... ONLY TO DISCOVER THERES A LIMIT ON HOW LARGE THE VEHICLE LIST CAN BE!

GAAAAAAAAAAAHD. Anyways to get around this using an svar/ivar?

I think that has been brought up before and has never been possible.

I am sure that Mantis is about to light up like a christmas tree.

The list size will never be bigger either. The way it is coded to to ingrained. Have fun with 32 vehicles, be glad it isn't 31 and 1 that never shows info like it used to be.

Yeh... 32-bit program... duh. it all makes sense now.

Never mind, ive found quite a pretty work around

yeah u can set a race based mix of vehicle lists via ivars and buttons.

I think it was me that ran into this last time. It gets annoying when you have ISDF, Scions, Hadeans and then one or two Cerberi... in the end I had to rearrange it to scouts, light tanks, tanks...

I ran into this in 1.0
