having trouble getting a scarab gun in Headlong help please

Post by t_mann05 »

heres the deal. im trying to get a scarab gun in headlong. i FTP'd my 03b_newmombasa.map to my PC and i tried to open it up in Insolence. I got a message saying "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow" So then i opened up turf in Insolence and dragged scenarios\objects\covenant\military\weapons\main_gun\scarab_main_gun to my headlong map and it is now sitting under my weap tag. I also noticed that there is another weapon similar to that called scenarios\objects\covenant\military\weapons\aa_guns\scarab_aa_gun that i could drag over also. I saw that under the vehi tag in turf, there is like 5 scarab things in there also.

Which one of those is the actual scarab gun? or is it any of those. i saw that when i opened up the tag for those in Dot halo, they are listed as vehicles? So how the heck do i get the scarab gun into my map? Why is the file "scenarios" instead of starting with objects?

i got the fuel rod cannon into my headlong by renaming my brute shots itmc to the flak cannon and renaming it in the multiplayer globals mulg tag in Insolence. i tried this with the scarab gun and it didnt work.

all of this was found in turf because i couldnt open the campaign map in Insolence.

so how do i get this gun in headlong? any links to tutorials? thanks for any help guys.

You should be able to get it from campaign... Try opening a fresh SP map in Insolence- Sometimes you could have changed something that Insolence doesn't like. I suggest 03a_oldmombasa.map, 03b_newmombasa.map, or 08b_deltacontrol.map
