Dragon Tank Napalm Death Effects

One of the cut "tidbits" out of the final release of Generals/ZH was the Dragon Tank Exploding / Napalm Death Effects. Thankfully the code is still in the existing ini's (In the ZH ini's anyways) and with a small little few things you can re-enable them.

In the end this is what the New Tags will look like:


              

Code

; Catch fire, and explode death Behavior = SlowDeathBehavior ModuleTag_10 DeathTypes = ALL -CRUSHED -SPLATTED ProbabilityModifier = 33 DestructionDelay = 2000 DestructionDelayVariance = 300 FX = INITIAL FX_CrusaderCatchFire OCL = FINAL OCL_DragonDebris FX = FINAL FX_GenericTankDeathExplosion End ; Napalm spills out, and explode death Behavior = SlowDeathBehavior ModuleTag_11 DeathTypes = ALL -CRUSHED -SPLATTED ProbabilityModifier = 34 DestructionDelay = 2000 DestructionDelayVariance = 300 FX = INITIAL FX_DragonNapalmSpill OCL = FINAL OCL_DragonDebris FX = FINAL FX_DragonTankDeathExplosionFinal End ; Turret fly off death Behavior = SlowDeathBehavior ModuleTag_12 DeathTypes = ALL -CRUSHED -SPLATTED ProbabilityModifier = 25 DestructionDelay = 500 DestructionDelayVariance = 100 FX = INITIAL FX_GenericTankDeathEffect OCL = MIDPOINT OCL_DragonDebris FX = FINAL FX_GenericTankDeathExplosionFinal End

Now, if you find the Entry for the Dragon Tanks in your ini files you'll find the above all commented out plus they are missing numbers on their module tags.

Firstly, Remove all of the Comments (Hold off on the Probability Modifier for a moment) so that it's now an active SlowDeathBehaviour Module. Secondly add your numbers. You can c/p mine if you want but be warned. You must manually then edit the tags after the SlowDeathBehaviour Modules. Module Tags 12 & 13 are already in use and you must manually change them (if you c/p the entries above) if you don't want to crash ZH.

Secondly, I suggest you use the ProbabilityModifier tags as otherwise it will always (or 90% of the time) choose the Turret Fly off death behaviour. Not that it's not cool, but the Napalm Spilling out and catching fire looks quite cool.

Feel free to mess around with the OCL as you see fit.

Lastly, for a small graphical effect you might want to remove the ; in front of ReallyDamagedParticleSystem1 for some added graphical shizzy. When the Dragon Tank's damage falls below half of it's health it'll start to give off smoke which adds to it's napalmness.

Enjoy.
