Well, the code he's written is for the GDI power plant [hence the GAPOWER title]. The Power= tag is how much power the power plant gives.
This is all edited in the ini files _________________ Organised Rules.ini by Judeau QUICK_EDIT
You can open these files (as well as your map) with WordPad or similar text viewer program.
On RA2MD.INI, the unit code starts with [UNITNAME] (where UNITNAME is the internal name of the unit).
Now, use the Search feature of the text editor to look for the Battle Fortress code. Once you get it, copy its code and place it in the map file, but do one change: instead of [BFRT], use [AMCV].
In short, your Allied MCV will actually be the Battle Fortress.
Now, time for the soviets. Look for Apocalypse code [APOC]. Copy its code to the beggining of the map file and change the [APOC] to [SMCV].
Finally, look for Mastermind's code [MIND]. Copy its code to the beggining of the map file and change [MIND] to [PCV].
I dont get you by the first bit by opening it in Wordpad? i have it but what you mean opening it then Finding codes and stuff... To confuseing QUICK_EDIT

@ Banshee: ehh, its rulesmd.ini, not ra2md.ini
@ Six-D: first you need the rulesmd.ini. If you have it, open it and search for the units Banshee has said. Copy those 6 units to your map file.
Then copy everything from the [BFRT] to [AMCV], from the [APOC] to [SMCV] and from the [MIND] to [PCV]. QUICK_EDIT

Then run the game, and play your map And if you want to tweak your unit, change the codes i posted above QUICK_EDIT
But I thought that was Sole Survivor not regular YR survival, surviving waves. Six-D, if you could specify which type of map you're looking for, I can help you better.
@Banshee: Yeah, they got a point. Just hurry up with Final Dawn, and I'll worry about helping out in RA2. ;P _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Ok dude. I no what your trying to say. Once you've opened the map go to edit and click INI editing. In the box that pops up click the "add" button nearest to the top. Then type in GAPOWR for allied power and NAPOWR for soviet power. Then in the sections bar go to the section that you just made and click on it. Then in the section content box there is a button that is under the word keys. Click on it then enter "Power" into it. Then in the section content box click on the word Power which is the key you just made and in the value box put any number you want. That number will be the amout of power it produces. There are other codes but I couldnt give them for idk them. Enjoy. _________________ Go Me!!! QUICK_EDIT
If you want to make a good survival map, first come up with a good map layout, putting start locations and additional buildings in startegic locations. Then add some waypoints where you want stuff to happen (it's usually best to have the chrono in ones start at 10 and then do others such as iron curtain). Once you have that done, open up the trigger editor under edit. Add a new trigger and then add new events and actions to it. You should name it something meaningful. The norm trigger to start out with is giving a unit or building to a player, so for events, change the event to "any"(i think) and the action to "change house" then you can decide which house gets the buildings. add as many triggers as there are players, which "change to house" for each player. Then close out of trigger editor and click on the buildings or units you want to give away and attach the corresponding trigger to each unit under where it says "tags".
Now you have the layout, your gonna want to another trigger for an iron curtian over the comp, one that sets the timer and another that starts it, and after the time you decide a victory trigger.
Now for the most tediuos part, the actual waves.
Open up the taskforce editor under edit. Here you add new the units you want to reinforce. Make say...100 GIs. Now close the task force screen and open up the script editor under the edit. Here you set how the waves behave, for now, just choose something on the lines of attack. Now close that and open up the teams editor. here you set important aspect of the wave such as script, who gets it, and what the units are.
Now open up the trigger editor again. Create a new wave and name it "1 wave GI" (put the number first for organizational purposes). Now add an event, and choose elasped time. Now choose what time you want the GIs to come. Then go to actions and add two, one shall be "chrono reinforcements" (i think it's lie 108 or 113, not sure). You will then set the team and the waypoint. Then add another action and choose text trigger. Add something like GIS_wave_1 (don't forget underscore). Now save map and it should work.
*****This may crash the game*****
If you want to edit the INI (how the units and buildings function) open the INI editor under edit. You then add a section entitled the name of whatever thing you want to change. If you want to edit the power, enter the name of the power plant you want to edit (GAPOWR I think) and the select the catgory from the list. You can now edit the different spects of the building. Add Power=1000 to the side button. The changes you make should take effect. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
Er...DaFool, if you're speaking of the FA2 InI editor, I disadvise using it. It'll get messy using it, and you should just open up the map with a text editor, like Wordpad or Notepad. InI editor is possibly causing those crashes. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
