CnC4 GDI Kodiak & Nod Salamander

For all the CnC3 modder that like the CnC4 Kodiak & Salamander (some of the few good designs), I made some sample xml files that contain everything you need to make the units buildable in your mod, all you need to do is including the xmls & adding the buttons to the airfield/hangar. Cool

Note that this is NOT a mod on its own - these units are just plugins that you can add to you own mods.

The files contain the models, slightly edited textures (& a simple damage texture), a basic build icon, additional particle effects, some basic coding for the unit and its weapons - everything you need to get a basic version of the unit ingame.
It does NOT contain codes for the spedial abilitys or new sounds. I also disabled some animations because they felt unfitting for the unit - feel free to enable them again. Wink

Known bugs:
-CnC3 does not support gun tracers for more than one turret, hence I dindt include the tracer draws in the GDIKodiak.xml.
-The radar dish on the Kodiak is allways spinning in TT - its not an animation and there seems no way to recreate that effect in TW.

DOWNLOAD (Kodiak)

DOWNLOAD (Salamander)

PS: I suggest using Bibbers C&C W3X Scale tool to resize the Kodiak to 70% and the Salander to 80% - otherwise they are bigger than the Scrin capital ships. Laughing

Are the Cannons on the Kodiak fixed?

As someone who extracts, The Kodiak was maddening to get to work.

Fixed?
Dunno what was wrong with them, but I merged the model files and rewrote the xmls, so as far as I know they work fine now.

I think you misunderstood... I'm pretty sure that with "fixed" Zengar meant "fixed in place"; in other words, are the turrets able to move or not?

They work like any other turret in the game.

Works great! Had to do a little tweaking to get it to work in my setup without throwing errors. I do have one question - The front right (from ships perspective) 3-barrel turret, the cannons don't slide back when firing (the other two turrets do). I've not played C&C4 enough to know if it was like that over there too or if it was perhaps a bug.

Kitsune86 just pointed out that the recoil for the right turret was not working - looks like I forgot to change a BoneName:

<WeaponRecoilBone>

needs to be

<WeaponRecoilBone>

to make it work.

I also updated the download and changed most of the bone names in the _SKL file to their TT names, with the exeption of the bones for weapon, turrets & engine - I think the names I gave them are easier to work with.
If you use the updated _SKL with old xml files (because you allready customized your Kodiak), please also check the DAMAGED/REALLYDAMAGED states as some bones there might have new names now (FXDamage03 is now CS_2ndturbine).
