adding VoxelUnits in OpenRA?

[bodomalo]

This describes how to add a Voxel Uni:
https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/A ... nit-ingame

Is this still working in the latest OpenRA versions?

Code: Select all

VoxelSequences:
	cncred|sequences/voxels.yaml

I receive first this error:
Exception of type `System.IO.InvalidDataException`: `VoxelSequences` is not a valid mod manifest entry.

So I have put it under normal Sequences
Later the game crashes with:
Exception of type `System.InvalidOperationException`: Unit `wini` does not have a sequence named `idle`


I have copied wini.vox and wini.hva into my bits directory...
and added the tibsun palette unittem.pal to the game

I think you need this too: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/blob/b ... .yaml#L247

Gen1 mods has it set to PlaceholderModelSequence, change it to VoxelModelSequence.

Correct, this solved the first error.

Hm, still my unit does not have a idle sequence after produced- crash.

Is it not enough to place the *.vxl and *.hva file into BITS directory?

It seems they are either not found.
Or the sequence in vehicles.yaml overrules the idle sequence in voxels.yaml

Oh, I found my "mistake"

I had to remove some "WithRenderSpritesBody" and all that stuff the vehicle inherits from "vehicle" first.

It is a little bit complicated to mix shp and voxel units if you do not start from scratch, as everything is inherited for "sprites" first....
