Orbital Attack Launcher: Episode I: The Phantom Ordinance

I'm trying to get my Orbital Attack Launcher to work. Basically, you can find out what you need to know from this page. What I'm trying to do is have a grenade launcher shoot a grenade theat is a beacon, wherever this beacon lands is whaere the orbital strike occurs. the beacon shoots, lands, and nothing happens.

Here's the odf's:

lol I dont know if I can help. I just replied cause the title was funny. Maybe my post can be useful somehow, like bringing in people who COULD help. lol Phantom Ordinance. Rofl. What next? Attack of the Meshes?

Revenge of the Polys?

I wish I could help but you probably know more about the Orbital Attack than me!

Dont post if you dont have any constructive criticism.

Touche

My guess is this: If you're using the exact odf's that shipped, it's not going to work. Like the grappling hook, Pandemic took it out of the game because of bugs.

On a side note, I couldn't find com_weap_inf_torpedo in the common/odf section, but maybe that's me.

Syth · Post by **Syth** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 1:53 am

well, first of all the ODF says this is the ordenance
"all_weap_inf_orbital_attack_launcher_ord"

in the post you say the ORD's name is this...
"all_weap_inf_orb_attk_launcher_ord"

Thats the only problem I see, but if that was the problem the beacon shouldnt fire at all. it might be that the orbital beacon's ODF is faulty in some way.

Thats com_weap_inf_mortar_launcher I think.
Some people got the orbital attack to work, I'd start with that

the odf that comes with the game has got a screwed up ord

And Syth is right, you should change that first.

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 3:33 pm

I already changed that, does Nothing.

I'm pretty sure people got it working with the shipped odf. However, those people who did get it to work (Penguin, MajinRevan) are not willing to share yet.

If the ord is incorrect, can someone tell me how to fix it? (Zerted? Xwingguy? anyone good with odfs?)

Post by **Penguin** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 2:57 am

just get the odfs from the SWBF I modtools, they work. and then just edit them from their

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 12:06 pm

I don't have the BF1 modtools. Could you give me a link?

Go to SWBFFiles, and head to the Battlefront 1 section. You're looking for the SDK. It'll have all the assets from BF1, but you can delete the modtools - unless you're actually planning on modding BF1.

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 3:09 pm

so it's unsupported_swbf_mod_tools.zip, right? Download in progress....

busterkinkade · Post by **busterkinkade** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 3:14 pm

I have a similar problem, I want the grenade to create a buff instead of an explosian, I've had no luck so far, it either locks the game up or when I throw the grenade it just creates a buff at my position (like any normal buff would)

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 3:26 pm

Alright, I have the modtools. And I opened up the odf. Do I need to do anything to it?

Looks almost the same to me....

The_Emperor · Post by **The_Emperor** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 9:24 am

it is the same, just

LaserTexture = "yellowlaser_D"
//ImpactEffect = "med_cannon_impacts"

is different

and you should probably keep the SWBFII one then

Imma check if I can get the orb. thingy to work. (through a grenade though)

EDIT: yep, mine seems to work just fine. Imma see if I can make one with your launcher idea now.

EDIT2: crashed the first try, lets try again. Woohoo
And yet again. Final try

Oops forgot to save the changes since the last crash, *sigh* hehe still try 2 then...
No succes either.
starting last attempt

FINAL VERDICT:

I can only make the orb. thingy with a throwable grenade. Your launcher idea keeps crashing

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 3:05 pm

I'll try a throwable one too, see if that works.

Edit:

Apparently I suck at this. It STILL doesn't work, even with a throwable grenade!!!!

What do yours look like, 'Emperor?

PS. Did you use BF1 all_weap_inf_orbital_attack_salvo_ord or the one from BF2?

This is EXTREMELY annoying!!!!

I used the BF2 one. hang on Ill post them in a minute
I called the weapon orbit and the odf orbit_ord. Here we are:

It looks kind of... bad though. It's just one beam coming STRAIGHT out of the air and BANG. Imma fix that now (I hope)

I got rid of the Geometryname line in the first odf (not the ord) and got rid of all of the Aim lines and IT WORKS!!! Victory is mine!

*SOLVED! WOOT!*

I promise I wont ever hijack a modding thread ever again.
