Title: vehicle lists...
Post by: TheJamsh on July 16, 2009, 11:06:48 AM
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

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.  :-P

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.

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...
