The (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/postdisplay.cgi?forum=Forum13&topic;=000135")first collumn(/url) was a roaring success, but is a thing of the past. It is common knowledge that I mastered Hera a long time ago, so I am the one to bring your Hera-related troubles to.
I don't care if it's installation problems, mission plot problems, even in-game problems, two words: Ask Slug!

If our military is so much better than theirs, then why don't we ever use it?
You know what I'm askin' planet capturing conditions WITHOUT counters (which don't work).
Me want help the way chapter 19 does it.

Ok, let's pretend there are three planets:
IF SUBJECT (planet 1) IS OWNED BY PLAYER (your player number)
--THEN ALTER: CONDITION TRUE YET: CONDITION: 2
IF SUBJECT (planet 2) IS OWNED BY PLAYER (your player number)
INITIALLY INACTIVE flag checked on
--THEN ALTER CONDITION TRUE YET: CONDITION: 3
IF SUBJECT (planet 3) IS OWNED BY PLAYER (your player number)
INITIALLY INACTIVE flag checked on
--THEN DECLARE WINNER (your player number)
I can make it so that it takes into account when the enemy player captures them back, but I'm too tired right now.

Aaaaaah! I get it now. Thanx.

I'm not.
IF SUBJECT (planet 1) IS OWNED BY PLAYER (opposing player number)
CHECK IF INACTIVE flag ON
--THEN ALTER: CONDITION TRUE YET: (Condition True) CONDITION: 3
IF SUBJECT (planet 2) IS OWNED BY PLAYER (opposing player number)
CHECK IF INACTIVE flag ON
--THEN ALTER CONDITION TRUE YET: (Condition True) CONDITION: 3
And if there are multiple opposing players, duplicate the exact same thing for each opposing player.

I got it to work! Now it works just like chapter 19. Also, I fixed that problem with my other level that had the problem with the destroying of all of the ships.

How do you create something that, on expiration, creates a neutral object?

How large should a gateship sprite ( the individual frames, not the total ) be?
I've got a ship design I'm working on, and it's somewhat complex.
(url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/fadarkk/PHCS1.jpg")http://www.geocities...darkk/PHCS1.jpg(/url) is a frontal orthographic (no perspective) view. The empty space will be filled with a jumpgate array.
(url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/fadarkk/PHCS2.jpg")http://www.geocities...darkk/PHCS2.jpg(/url) is an orthographic top view (they're all orthographic).
(url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/fadarkk/PHCS3.jpg")http://www.geocities...darkk/PHCS3.jpg(/url) shows another angle of the ship.
(url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/fadarkk/PHCS4.jpg")http://www.geocities...darkk/PHCS4.jpg(/url) does too.
I don't want to make the sprite too small, as the detail on the bumpy sections might be lost, but I don't want to make it too large, for obvious memory reasons (how many people with <64MB RAM play Ares, I don't know but it's probably a lot).

If you recall from Ask Slug I, I had a question about a carrier that I wanted to capture. You said to make a bunker station with a carrier sprite. I tried that, and when I kill the carrier, it says: Carrier lost by Prophets of Salril, and then the carrier disappears. What happened?

How? Where?
Hey, 8 Lightnings, I guess great minds think alike. I will be having one of my levels' objective's be to capture an enhanced Salrilian Carrier.

Have you tried not autotargeting it?
Eminem, what happened to that plug I sent you?
Darkk, no, that doesn't work.

Make sure both NEUTRAL DEATH and DON'T DIE WHEN DESTROYED flags are checked. As for the "Carrier lost by the prophets of Salril" thing, I can't help that. That's the Neutral Death flag doing it's evil.

what do i do when it says as ares is starting up and im trying a new mission:
can not manage any more sprite tables
this forces me to quit :frown:
also when it says
can not manage any more sounds
this doesnt do anything noticable but is realy annoying. Is there any way to fix these? Why do they happen? and what is happening?

just take my post, and imagine everything is speeled right.
