New Unit: Comanche (copter)

[Krakatoa]

Is that possible to make a new unit, like a militar copter?? Don't know why they didnt already put this on the game!!

I just have to add code in the units.txt file? Or there's another(s) file(s)?

The bigest problem is the draw of the copter, I'm terrible with this kind of thing... Anyone know how to create this?


Thanks for any help, hope other guys want a fighter copter who can carry 2 cruisers and have a 50-30 attack-defense and can bombard anyone !!

You have to edit code in units.txt, uniticon.txt, newsprite.txt and gl_str.txt

To create a unit graphic you need a sprite creator program that is available on the ctp1 download section of Apolyton, and it would also be a good idea to download the instructions of how to make sprites that are available there too. It gets quite complicated, so if I were you, I'd make the new unit by editing the text files, but use the cargo 'copter sprite and graphics.

Wes had one in MedMod for CTP. I don't know if it will be in CTP2 MedMod but you can d/l the MedMod4 sprites and get it there. It's a Mil Hind I believe...

thats a dumb suggestion.... Considering were all working on how to actually get the AI to attack....And you want Helocopters and Cruisers? Plz dont bombard Apolyton with silly requests
