3rd side issue

DragonFly

Every time I try to add a 3rd side to ETS I get "Cannot Read Sceanario" when i go to start a skimish with the new side as my side.

I can get around that by generating a random map but then I just have to kill the game 10 mins later cause it still hasn't loaded the map.

As ive had this working before with a game just patched to 2.03 and now with ETS it isn't i decided to try some other mods which have 3rd sides with ETS.

All of the ones I tried either have this problem or have an IE as soon as the map loads...

Has anyone got a working 3rd side with ETS and what might be cauing my problem and the problem with the other mods? (i'm pretty sure my codeing is sound as nod and gdi work perfectly with there new mcvs and construction yards -the orig mcv/con yard is now completly obselete)
And the same method work correctly in 2.03 without ets...

One of the mods I tried which had problems was: Tiberium Future: A Dying World which can be found here: http://ppmsite.com/forum/index.php?f=155

This was with ETS 3.40 #19

I will look into it.
Possible, it because I changed original side number system.

i know about ever since you did that Wink

, copy SideC01/02.mix and rename it SideC03/04.mix etc according to your new side... should work then.

Well there needs to be something in the code so it works with other mods. Mayby if the needed mix isn't found it will treat 02 as it?

i think thats hes goal... the whole "3rd side logic" is still under development by CNCVK... also the game reads Load###E.pcx and Load###F.pcx for 3rd side loading screens Very Happy

Well solved my problem. Now just to work out the unit costings so people only get the one mcv and i'll have 3 sides with no glitchs at all Very Happy

(even the ai seems to work the new mcv's out by them selves so that I don't need a dummy weapon or anything to make them deploy which makes a change lol)
