please, check the tutorials and other posts before posting Rolling Eyes

anyway, for unit editing you need xcc mixer. you can can this program somewhere on this site.
if you have it and have installed it, go to Red Alert 2-->local.mix or localmd.mix if you have yr.
the file you need for editing units is rules.ini or rulesmd.ini.
extract them to your RA2 directory as a .ini file and open it.
then you can mod till you drop Wink

ok got a local.mix file extracted
i used XCC Mixer 1.45

is that right?
saved it as rules.ini
its 33.1 mb

ok so what do i do know?

33.1mb? You missed the point....

rules.ini is inside local.mix. So, you have to open local.mix with XCC Mixer and then, you extract rules.ini from it.

No, that's not right.
(I have deleted that stuff you posted, since it was useless.)

XCC Mixer > Ctrl-F > rules* will find all the rules files, up to 3 depending on the games you have:

ra2.mix > local.mix > rules.ini (for RA2 only);
ra2md.mix > localmd.mix > rulesmd.ini (for YR 1.000);
expandmd01.mix > rulesmd.ini (for YR 1.001).

Now if you dbl-click on one of them, Mixer will locate it. Then you right-click it and Extract to the game directory. It will be plain text, so Notepad or any other text editor will be able to read/edit it (don't use word processors like MS Word, they'll mess it up).

You can't play online with edited rules.ini , only if if someone has the same ini you can play.

If he and you have the same rules.ini , then it is possible.

but i never had rule.ini to just now when i made it
or is it possable that he hacked the local.mix/rules.ini if he hacked it with out extracting then that would work yeah
