Title: Component Text File

I've noticed how for every skinned component you make, you need a text document to go along with it. Where would I find that?

ahh, you need the unCFL. its on the download page under tools i believe. put the uncfl.exe in your main RA2 folder and drag the components.cfl onto it. then delete the components.cfl. all your component's text files are now in your components folder.

You don't "get" them....you just make a simple .txt file.
 
LIKE THIS
 

Code: [Select]

name = Component name
preview = Component_preview.bmp (and make sure you have a pic in the folder)
dir = (folder where you put the .gmf and preview pic)
model = component name.gmf
type = extras (weapons....whatev)
base = Component (Weapons....whatev)
styles = Default
description = reskinned component
damagesounds = sounds\chorus_metal_tink.wav
attachsound = sounds\cmp_generic.wav
Mass =200
hitpoints = 9700
concussion = 8
fracture =6
piercing = 1.3
standard = 1
Hidden = 0

You can also add this....
 
styles = Component, componentgreen.txt, Green Component, Componentblue.txt, Blue Component, Componentred.txt, Red Component
And put the green, blue and red .txt in the styles folder
 
 
Then put it in the Components folder and make sure you have the .gmf and preview and such
