Hi!
I'm new to this whole modding thing so i was just wonmdering is there just a way to change the names and the pictures in ra2 or do i have to make a whole mod just to get this
P.S. Sorry for my bad english my lanuage is nothing like it QUICK_EDIT
I just finished TS, now onto RA2, are you able to edit RA2 in the same way as was done w\ the rules file in TS ?
I looked and found a rulesmd.ini in expand01.mix, it appeared almost identical to rules in TS, w\ some obvious differences, however, as I edited it, saved and replaced the file, even restarted my game to be sure the changes would take effect, well ... they didn't.. Is there some other file(s) that need to be altered in this game, in order for changes to take effect ? Thanx.. QUICK_EDIT

Um... you replaced it? As in, you extracted it from the MIX, edited it, then deleted the original and put the edited one back in? I hope not. What did you edit? _________________

Hey Sir Mods, actually, I did it both ways, I meant, first, I put extracted the rulesmd, edited it, then simply pasted it into the game directory to "replace" the rulesmd, however, there was no change, so, I then deleted the original from expand01 and inserted the edited version, in both instances, nothing in the game changed ...
I do have a backup of the original files, expand01 & rulesmd, so its not lost ..
I noticed something else, I couldnt start the game at all, from the game icon in the game directory, after simply pasting the edited rulesmd into the game directory, it seems almost like its an application error as for as, it doesnt want to run in the windows enviornment, I have not yet tried applying a run app in X mode,such as win 95/98 ....
ANyways, upon a given instance of the game attempting to run FROM the exe, it would prompt me for the C&C disc, which is in my drive .... so not sure about that ..
Running the game through the First Decade menu, workt just fine ... QUICK_EDIT
I edited lots o things the first time, BUT, as a simpler test w\ another copy of the original, I edited now um, Tanya, CCOMAND, BARRACKS, PILLBOX a couple things like that and no effect ..
I changed things like I did in TS, such as cost, immunity, strength and to no avail ...
I restarted mission, etc,no effect ..
I start out in the first mission, restart it, no change, Tanya still gets shot up, my pillboxes take damage and all my stuff still costs the same so ... no effect ... QUICK_EDIT
I got it now, another member made a post about not finding the ini file, Banshee replied and said its in RA2mix/localmix, so the one I had, was the wrong one, it was in expand01 I think, it was named rulesmd stead of "rules" ... QUICK_EDIT
Rules is for RA2. Rulesmd is for YR and you find newest version of it in expandmd01.mix(If you have patched YR), or even better in Unofficial Mini Patch. If it has md at the end, it is for YR. _________________ Time will tell...
