1. What is the turn in iscript measured in?

2. What is the wait in iscript measured in?

3. How do you modify the main menu page, like the page where you got single player, multiplayer.. etc.

4. Which file to modify for the LOADING page at start?

5. I know how you can change air unit's speed in flingy.dat, but how do you change a ground unit's speed, for example, ghost, in iscript? or in other words, how is iscript controlling the speed of the unit?

6. Is it possible to give ghost stimpack? If so, what's necessary?

7.Is it possible to change the fudamental effect of a certain spell? For example, in weapons.dat I made a certain weapon to have an explosion called "parasite", but can I change what "parasite" does?

Yeah, a shitload at at once :D.... waiting for the answer online.

1: Turns are measured by frames in a 17 framed graphic. If you use turnccwise 1, that will turn the graphic one frame counter clockwise.

2: Waits are measured in 1/24 of a second when played on the fastest gamespeed. 24 waits in iscript will equal 1 second ingame, unless for some reason you play on lower gamespeeds.

3: glue\palmm\backgnd.pcx

4: glue\title\title.pcx

5: In a ground units iscript walking animation, you will see move opcodes with a number after it. For example, you might see this:

wait 2
move 4
playfram 0x11...

...And so on. Simply change the number after the move opcode to change its speed.

6: Yes, it's possible. Just give the ghost the button and make sure he's defined to use it in the 'use tech' requirements for the stimpack.

7: I'm not 100% sure of exactly what you're asking, but I think it would require plugins.



If anything cool is ever going on Skype me up under the name "blarghle"

how do you do plugins then?

and you know how when marines use stimpack, they go "ahhhhh"

I want to keep that sound for marines, but use a different sound for ghosts, do you do that in iscript? and if so, in which section?



None.

7: This would require plugins. Modcrafters.com has some plugin tutorials if you want to learn. Or, if you only want a few custom spells, I can create the plugin for you.

EDIT: PM me details of what you want to do and I'll tell you if it's possible.
