FINALLY I GOT IT......well not quite..

Post by XwitX »

Hey guys i finally figured out ( i think) the source to my vehicle duplication prob. I duplicated the banshee and now have a new vehicle i will call the jackrabbit. In HMT it is called banshee2.

Here's the problem: Hmt allows me to give my new banshee its own projectiles and change its physics and everyone else but when i try to give it its own skin it automatically injects the skin into the original banshee as well.
Well i was examining my new vehicle in HMT. And finally after hours of looking i think i found out why when i try to give it its own skin it automatically skins the original banshee as well.

I went to the bitmaps tab and i went down to bitmaps\banshee2 and looked up in the right corner where it says offset it has 5A92878. Well when i went to bitmaps\ banshee it also has 5A92878. So somehow my duplicated banshee shares the same bitmaps offset as the original banshee even though i gave it its own bitmaps. So both have the same .dds adress. I have no clue how this happened but it has to be the problem.

Does anyone have any idea how this happened or how I can fix it? Another question is does anyone know what that EOF button does? When i press it it changes the offset. I just need to figure out how to give my vehicle its own bitmap adress.

If you guys can help i would greatly appreciate it. You have no idea how hard or long I've been working on this mod and figuring out how to get past this prob would mean the world to me.


Whew..... I think thats the longest post I've ever written. If anyone wants to help me this mod the are more then welcomed. I'm going to post this topic in multiple forums so i can as much help as possible.
