Adding cont and proj tags
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2007 7:16 pm
So I am having a couple problems, and if someone could help that would be great.
First off, I am trying to add a contrail tag to the SMG's projectile using Entity 1.3's chunk cloner. I copy the Attachments46 reflexive from another gun (sniper or BR) and add it to the SMG, then add meta to map. No problems; works fine when I try it on my xbox. However, when I click "fix system link" in Entity I get all sorts of broken idents (mostly effe and pmov tags). This does not happen until I inject the cont tag and I am sure my map is 100% proper (it even does this same thing when I try adding a cont tag to a weapon on a clean map). I know I can duplicate another proj with a cont and change it like the SMG but that would be a lot more work if I can get this working instead.
Second, I also get broken idents when I duplicate the proj tag of any of the weapons in Entity's Chunk Cloner. I'm not quite sure what is the best method of adding additional proj tags to a weapon, as I would like to avoid duplicating the carbine (b/c carbine already has 2 proj's) and changing it all around.
Luckily I keep backups as I work on my mod, so I have one before I did anything with adding proj or cont tags and no idents are broken, but I am at a bit of a standstill. Everything else works great and I have been so thrilled with Entity (compared to what was available when I started modding).
