Infantry pip in Red Alert 2

prismtrooper · Vehicle Drone **Joined**: 05 Nov 2013

I make infantry unlocked with Barracks have White Pips, infantry unlocked with Radar have Green Pips, infantry unlocked with Battle Labs have Blue Pips, Hero with red Pips and Engnineer with yelow pip. For some reason this work for Yuri Revenge's but in Red Alert 2 infantry unlocked with Barracks still use green pip while the one unlocked with radar use yelow pip and the rest still use the pip i sign them for. So what is the problem here?

Are you talking about Pip= or OccupyPip= or both?

Pip= only.

That is very strange... and all other parts of your mod are working in both RA2 and YR? Do you have the Pips= set both in rules.ini and rulesmd.ini? (RA2 doesn't read rulesmd.ini, only rules.ini)

That can't be it, can it?
All the colors he's using are in the Accepted Values list.

How do you know this? Did he provide indexes?

prismtrooper:
As long as you don't use the Yuri's Revenge pips, it should work. Though I vaguely recall some limitation on them, but I'm not sure. Perhaps it could be this:

The pip graphic to use for an infantry loaded into a building with PipScale=passengers, InfantryAbsorb=yes, and Passengers and SizeLimit each set to positive integers greater than or equal to the Size of the infantry, is always the fourth frame of pips.shp. Each infantry will only take up one "passenger" slot regardless of its Size.

Are you sure there's no previous pip defined or overriden in the map file?
You should also show what you've done in the INI when you ask these questions.
