Edited Westwood maps
Would Westwodd have anything against uploading some maps, taken from Ra2 and edited by me, without taking any credits for creating them ? Last edited by Chriss Rock on Sat Aug 20, 2011 12:59 am; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT

a little help with INI coding
I've got a question about this INI editing stuff in maps. So, in my mod i've made almost all civilian cars and people cary suicide bombs and i want the maps to have this feature. I've did something like this before, only once. I can't remember what i have to do, but here's what i think i have to do and i want you to tell me if i'm right or wrong.
Step1. I'll make a new ini file with GetDiz (my favorite text editor, along with Notepad++, cuz they're more customizeable) called Civs, Civilians, or whatever. In it i make a section for each civilian and civilian car, and each section will look like this:
and so on.
I also have to add in this ini the sections for the weapons and warheads, like i did in my rules.ini. Hope everythings ok 'till this point.
Step2. After i created the ini file and added everything in it, i open up my map in FA, "Edit=> INI editing => Insert another INI file content".
Am i right, or wrong ?
Sorry if this is a useless post, but i want to be sure that i'm not doing any mistakes QUICK_EDIT
That method works, but I, and most others apparently, prefer to add any additional INI to maps by opening the map in a text editor, then adding our code there. QUICK_EDIT

I just opened the map with Notepad++ and yeah, i could've done it this way, if i would have known about it ... it's faster, and easier too QUICK_EDIT
Enough talk, and let's show some work ...
I just finished editing the second map, took me 1/2 days for 2 maps
If you don't already know the maps they're MayDay and Isle of War.
I'm sorry but these are the best previews that i can offer.
Here's a little info of what's new:
May Day:
- added dirt roads (annoying pieces of terrain)
- added/removed/moved some buildings
- the are about 200+ buildings to garrison
- Kamikaze civilians for you (if you can build Yuri)
- somewhere in the East there's an Allied Battle Lab
- in the NW there's a Soviet Barracks and a Nuclear Reactor
- 2 Allied Barracks (near the Airport in the SE and near the center of the map)
- and that's it
[Edit] - damn, i forgot to mention the the Psychic Beacon is now a SpySat, and costs 2000, sorry
Isle of War:
- added/removed some buildings
- added plenty of Oil Derricks
- there's an Allied and a Soviet Refinery
- there'a an Allied conyard near the middle of the map
- added dirt roads (i've been to hell and back with these damn roads)
- NE => Nuke Silo, Iron Curtain
- SW=> ChronoSphere, Weather Controller
do i need to say anything more ?
