Help needed with ufo scripts...

[MCR]

First I have to admit publicly here that I do not yet understand the syntax of the ufo files  , after reading those, I am not even 100% sure if there is a syntax to be used there...

1.)
I need some help  .
I would need links where I can find the syntax of the ufo scripts or documentation on how exactly those scripts work...
Please do not give me this link: http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/UFO-Scripts#Scriptfiles
as I cannot find anything there...  

2.)
Maybe someone knowing stuff already could take a look @ that:

Take a look here also:

I want to see those great textures in-game  !
Thank you in advance.

All information about .ufos is in wiki or comments in that files.
Ask precise questions if you have ones.


And that textures are in game. Just play a bit, and you will fight with ortnoks in medium armour. That`s all.

see team.ufo

@Kildor: Question: Why is Taman armor defined in armour.ufo, but Ortnok armor is not ?

[MCR]

Why is medium armor for tamans not defined here, when light armor is (team_aliens.ufo) ?

   models {
      neutral {
         aliens/taman body01 head01 0
         aliens/taman body01 head01 1
      }

[Mattn]

what the heck are you talking about? in armour.ufo is light and medium armour for aliens defined. they should not appear in team_*.ufo (and are not in your paste).

[MCR]

It is only defined for the TAMAN, but not for the ORTNOK ?!?

How can this directories in team_aliens.ufo ever work for the Ortnok when the imagepath for them is NOT defined in armour.ufo ?
   models {
      neutral {
         aliens/ortnok body01 head01 0
         aliens/ortnok body01 head02 0
         aliens/ortnok body01 head03 0
         aliens/ortnok body01 head01 1
         aliens/ortnok body01 head02 1
         aliens/ortnok body01 head03 1
         aliens/ortnok body01 head01 2
         aliens/ortnok body01 head02 2
         aliens/ortnok body01 head03 2
      }

[Mattn]

which image path are you now talking about? there is no image path. and there is everything right for the ortnok (except i'm not seeing something, which might of course be the case)

[MCR]

Quote armour.ufo:

//weights 100
item armour_light_alien
{
   name      "_Alien Body Armour"
   image      armour/taman_light

//weights 120
item armour_medium_alien
{
   name      "_Medium Alien Armour"
   image      armour/taman_medium
   type      armour

But NO PATH to Ortnokarmor...

[MCR]

But maybe I am completely wrong here, I do not know  , but I am sure there is something 'fishy' there, like Duke would say...

[Mattn]

ah, you posted team_*.ufo content but were refering to armour.ufo content - that's what had confused me.


that doesn't matter - as the image would be only used for displaying it in the menu. We don't have armour per race yet, only per team. But that does not have any impact on the values from team_*.ufo

[MCR]

It is just that Tamans are spawned (only in light armor), but ortnoks are not spawned in any armor when playing skirmish for example...
But when changing the definition to:
   models {
      neutral {
         aliens/ortnok body01 head01 0
         aliens/ortnok body01 head02 0
         aliens/ortnok body01 head03 0
         aliens/ortnoklight body01 head01 1
         aliens/ortnokmedium body01 head01 2
      }
You will suddenly see different kinds of (high-resolution, good looking) Ortnoks on the battlefield in Skirmish Mode...
Also the definition for Taman Medium Armor in team_aliens.ufo is missing:

aliens/taman body01 head01 2

I hope that helps you to understand, sometimes I feel like speaking Chinese language here 

[MCR]

Mattn, thanks for the link.
There I found this:
Quote:
The model file name is the name for the unarmoured model. If the actor was equipped with an armour, the path is extended with the values from the particular armour definitions

Quote end.

[Mattn]

again, there should be NO armour references in team_*.ufo - they are only added  if the actor has any armour equipped

[Mattn]

extended the wiki article a little bit on this topic.
