Well, more specifically it's the DSL Bar I'm having problems with.
To start with, I copied the DSL bar 40x120 GMF into a new folder, and created a new .txt file for it (It's called "techbar" at the minute), and ran RA2 just to check it was there. The new component was in there, looking the same as the normal 40x120 DSL bar, with my edited Component Name and Description. I noticed that there wasn't a map for the DSL bar components, but I didn't think that would be too much of a problem.
I followed Sage's video tutorial, I used Dummy's GMF Decompiler (fixed by Megabyte) to decompile the goldbar.txt file, and I scanned through to where the BITMAP line should have been, but there was nothing there.
I checked the HEX codes for MATERIAL_AMBIENT, DIFFUSE and SPECULAR, which I noticed were a dark grey colour when I put the codes into Paint.NET. So I tried editing them to make them a red colour, and went back into RA2. The component was still grey.
I went back to Sage's video, and noticed that there was a whole chunk of GMF code in the Snowplow .txt file that was missing from my techbar.txt file. I decided to make a techbar.bmp image, which was basically all red, and tried adding this piece of code, which I copied from what was in the video:
*TEXTURE_LIST
{
*TEXTURE_COUNT 1
*TEXTURE
{
*MAP_NAME Map #1
*MAP_CLASS Bitmap
*BITMAP goldbar.bmp
*MAP_AMOUNT
*MAP_DIFFUSE
*MAP_TYPE Screen
*UVW_U_OFFSET 0
*UVW_V_OFFSET 0
*UVW_U_TILING 1
*UVW_V_TILING 1
*UVW_ANGLE 0
*UVW_BLUR 0
*UVW_BLUR_OFFSET 0
*UVW_NOISE_AMT 1
*UVW_NOISE_SIZE 1
*UVW_NOISE_LEVEL 1
*UVW_NOISE_PHASE 0
*BITMAP_FILTER Pyramidal
*BITMAP_MAP_CHANNEL 1
}
}
And stuck it after the first MATERIAL in the MATERIAL_LIST at the start (everything was tabbed along to where it was in the video). I tried recompiling the .gmf after that, but I got a message saying
Runtime Error '9':
Subscript out of range
If anyone can help out with this, I would be extremely appreciative. =)
