Tutorial: Making a Space Based Bomber Bomb on Land

By: rebel5555 (AKA Joshua R.)
In this tutorial I will be showing you all how to successfully make a Space Based Bomber Available for Bombing Runs on Land Maps. This isn't a very hard thing to accomplish and should be considered an
intermediate type tutorial as we will be editing several XML files. Okay then, lets get started!
(NOTE: I have a model of a B-Wing that I will be using in this tutorial, I don't remember where I got it
from and who released it as it has no readme. So, I will not be uploading as I don't want to cause any problems. Because, if it was from a mod and someone ripped the model off someone could get angry and I don't need to be flamed. However, if you want it to put in your own personal mod that won't be released to the public just PM me and I'll e-mail it to you.)
First, we will start by making the famous B-Wing which was partly designed by Admiral Ackbar.
(As I remember from some old Rogue Squadron Game)
Okay so basically, were going to copy the Y-Wings Code as the base.

</Container>Now the following tags are required for the B-wing to work as a Land Bomber. You might ask "How do I know this?" Well here's the answer: I know this because I spent about 22 hours strait and 2 2-liters of Dr. Pepper trying to get it to work!
<Ship_Class>bomber</Ship_Class>(Required in SPACEUNITSFIGHTERS.XML)
<Is_Escort>no</Is_Escort>(Required in both SPACEUNITSFIGHTERS.XML and SQUADRONS.XML)
<Is_Bomber>yes</Is_Bomber>(Required in both SPACEUNITSFIGHTERS.XML and SQUADRONS.XML)
<Land_Bomber_Type>B-Wing_Bombing_Run</Land_Bomber_Type>(Required in SPACEUNITSFIGHTERS.XML)
<Targeting_Priority_Set>Bomber</Targeting_Priority_Set(Required in SPACEUNITSFIGHTERS.XML)Give yourself a cookie! You now should have a working B-Wing Land Bomber in the Main Campaign and Galactic Conquest type games.
Now if you want to we can replace the Y-Wing Bombing Run for Skirmish type games.
From FACTIONS.XML
<Skirmish_Land_Bomber>Y-Wing_Bombing_Run</Skirmish_Land_Bomber>Now change it to this:
<Skirmish_Land_Bomber>B-Wing_Bombing_Run</Skirmish_Land_Bomber>I hope you guys and/or Gals have enjoyed another of my series of tutorials, and if you're a noob, don't sweat it we were all noobs at one time or another it just takes time and patience to learn new
things.
Have a good time now,
Rebel5555 (AKA Joshua R.)
If you need any help following this tutorial or want to post any feedback please feel free to leave me a comment or send me a pm.
so the text above is to make the standard y-wing bomber appearance a b-wing? cause i'd love to have those in the game. b-wings kick ***.
