Hi everyone! I'm not new to .ini editing, actually, I've been doing it for about a year now. But I can't figure out how to do a few things:
- I need to be able to change units' names without it saying "MISSING:" in front of the name
- I need Black Eagles to be cloaked (except while attacking)
- I need to to be able to sell Tech Oil Derriks
- And I need to be able to capture Nuclear Missile Silos with Engineers

Sorry for such a big request, but please post how to do these things (even if you only know how to do 1 of them).

- I need to be able to change units' names without it saying "MISSING:" in front of the name Answer: you cant without the CSF file, and when giving map to othr people online, they wont know the difference.
- I need Black Eagles to be cloaked (except while attacking) Herm..... unless adding Cloakable tag...... when i tried.... i get IE and never seems to work.
- I need to to be able to sell Tech Oil Derriks Sellable=yes or UnSellable=no. do not remember. but some people can not do it for some reason, but i never had a problem.... It seems to work for me.
- And I need to be able to capture Nuclear Missile Silos with Engineers Capturable=yes

you should download the rulesmd.ini (or Rules.ini if RA2) foor thats how I got started making alot of mod maps. Keep in mind I could of did a coding error above (like its either sellable=yes or unsellable=no, i really do not remember) I hope I Helped

thanks, but it still wont let me capture the missile silo and it still wont let me sell the tech oil derriks (i tried both "Sellable=yes" and "Unsellable=no").

I dont really need the cloaked black eagle, but whats "the CSF file"?

ok for you cloaked eagle it is only possible to become cloaked when the unit becomes a veteran or elite

just add VeteranAbilities=CLOAK under the plane you want to be cloaked. the plane MUST become a veteran to become cloak.

Buildings cannot be sold if they don't have a buildup animation.

is there a way i can give a building animation to the tech oil derriks (without changing it's general image)?

If you'd really been doing this for a year you wouldn't be asking these questions, they're one of the most basic things.

Never download a rules.ini file online. Extract it from the game! I've never understood this need to find things online when they come with the game...

Why is this under mapping? These are general modding questions that have nothing to do with FA2 ini editing. Methinks a bit of moderating would be called for here.

i did ini editing a year ago for about 3 months. but i just started again. so i have been familiar with ini editing for a year but i have only been doing it for about 4 months now. Also, i forgot alot of things about it since last year.

anyway, thank for all your help, i can handle it from here.
