Hi guys, ive modded a fair few maps for my server and the ones withoout defenses ive modded in guard towers and turrets. However the other day i had to reinstall level edit and i forgot to backup the conv10.cdb file so lost all my temp spawners.

After recreating them and selecting which presets i wanted replaced with what my guard towers/turrets no longer fire. When i say no longer fire, on the guard towers if you stand about half a meter away from them without moving in the end they're fire a shot, but the turrets do nothing. Im using script jfw_base_defense and everything worked fine before.

Any ideas what might be making this happen?

Thanks buffymaniack!

Temps20.ddb holds ur temp presets.

and it sounds like you didnt add the scripts2.dll and scripts.dll to a scripts folder in your mod.

but you did say you attached the scripts before, try checking to make sure you have both scripts in there.

Replace the scripts for the object with M10_tank_turret then mix it and test it, make sure you mix it right, when you start up your server, soon the map is loaded, gameover it so its going to load twice, then join, see if that works..

Also, I had the same problem last night, some of my gun emplacements wouldnt shoot at me, so I moved them and made sure they were placed right, nice and level with the ground.. they started to work then? weird. but yeah.

I was taught to make up backs up off .ddb, .ldd, .lsd, and the LE document after every major thing you do, just copy and paste it in the same folder so it adds a number on it.. this way, when you fuck up, you can just load a older copy.

This has saved me alot of time and work, I advise you to do the same...

OH, just relised, is it TEAMED right? like are you player Nod and the turret is TEAM GDI etc`?

extract (example) c&c_field.ddb from the mixfile, rename
it to temps20.ddb and place it in your presets folder.
