duplicating warthogs.... need help!!

Post by When Shrubs Attack »

Ok... i have ran into a roadblock Ive been trying for ALONG time to get different hogs with different skins. I want like 3 warthogs. 2 uberchassis's, 2 MLX cars. And i cant find tuts to do any of it well... (ill explain)

i want to do what IGEO did with 3 hogs and all have different skins. Ive tried bunches of things and get the blackscreen. Can someone get me a detaild tut (doesnt have to be long, EX. Instead of=relink the files.. i need to know what to relink back.)

And with the uberchassis and MLX car... I can add it.. BUT it is like 6 feet off the ground.. i want to be able to add it make it ON the ground and have the wheels move not just always straight. Can i get a tut on that? I need to know how to lower the car down. And what program to use to do it...

Thanks for your help if you take the time to help. I have a REALLY cool mod, and its almost done i just need to do this and skin it and it'll be done.

THANKS FOR THE HELP!!

Now open your map with Entity, clone the warthog's [hlmt], [mode], and shaders
and relink them with your new hog. This method does work cause here's a pic
yeah i read that... What all do i have to relink? I relinked some stuff amnd made another warthog skin, and duplicated it, and relinked it to that ho and just got the blackscreen...

try using a different source map. Zanzibars hog doesn't work in some maps and you have to clone the mode, hlmt, warthog_medal shader, and warthog_stadard bitmap and relink them together.

You wouldn't happen to be playing on that Relic race track, would you?

No i wasent playing that. I made a Drag strip on Coag.


I duplicated the hog that was on the map. And i did this because when i rename a warthog in inscolnce it WONT transfer... It will just sit there and do nothing. And i cant save it with entity either, it gives me an error.

This is the only part i cant figure out... and its driving me crazy!

But i am going to try one more thing but i doubt it will work...

I dont know.. If i cant get it to work i will edit this message.


And if you still want to help me, my AIM name is Moparman1539, I would appreciate it.


'~~~~~~~~EDIT~~~~~~~~`

Nah it didt work :cry:
