First of all, make sure the building is buildable. Start with rules(md).ini. Few lines help. Here's a sample from the Allied Wall:
Code:
; concrete wall
[GAWALL]
UIName=Name:GAWALL
Name=Allied Wall
BuildCat=Combat
Strength=300
Prerequisite=GAPILE
Armor=concrete
TechLevel=1
Adjacent=8
Wall=yes
Sight=1
Selectable=no
Insignificant=yes
Nominal=yes
Owner=British,French,Germans,Americans,Alliance,Russians,Confederation,Africans,Arabs,YuriCountry
AIBasePlanningSide=0 ;gs 0 for Good, 1 for Evil
;ForbiddenHouses=French ;GEF French get the normal wall now, just like everyone else
Cost=100 ; part of TSHACK, feel free to change, I'm just taking out of code gs
Points=5
Repairable=false
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
ThreatPosed=0 ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons
;IsBase=no
BaseNormal=no ;psst....IsBase isn't a Rules flag
GuardRange=5
These lines are very important, however, they don't need necessarily these values. So, you can make few modifications for them:
BuildCat=Combat: Category that may affect location on sidebar.
Prerequisite=GAPILE: The buildings that are needed before the wall becomes available in the sidebar. In this case, you need the allied barracks.
TechLevel=1: Tech Level.. doesn't make much difference in the game if it's between 1 and 10.
Adjacent=8: How close to other buildings this building can be placed at.
Owner=British,French,Germans,Americans,Alliance,Russians,Confederation,Africans,Arabs,YuriCountry: Which sides can build it.
Cost=100: Ammount of cash needed to build it.
AIBasePlanningSide=0: Which AI build it. 0 for Good, 1 for Evil.
ThreatPosed=0: The threat value of the building for AI. Keep it 0 to any building or addon.
BaseNormal=no: Doesn't count in the adjancent tag.
The important stuff is to make sure that the name between [ ] matches the one from rules(md).ini and exists on ra2(md).ini or any ecacheXX.mix file. And also:
Cameo=WALLICON: This line determines which SHP will be the sidebar icon (cameo).
Foundation=1x1: This determines the space that the building ocupies in the battlefield. You can't place any value here, since the options are hardcoded. QUICK_EDIT
aha!!! I was making my ra2 barrels tech, not combat, I'll put it to combat and hope for the best
and here's my code
[CAMISC01]
UIName=Name:CAMISC01
Name=Barrels
TechLevel=2
Strength=5
EligibleForDelayKill=yes ;If hit with a DelayKill weapon, this building will timed explode instead of instantly die
Insignificant=yes
Nominal=yes
;RadarInvisible=yes
Points=5
Armor=concrete
Explosion=BRRLEXP2
MaxDebris=0
Selectable=no
;IsBase=no
BaseNormal=no ;psst....IsBase isn't a Rules flag
Explodes=yes
DeathWeapon=BarrelExplosion
Repairable=no
CanC4=no ; like spyable and captureable
DamageSound=BuildingMetalDamaged
BuildCat=combat
Cost=100
Prerequisite=GAPILE
Just incase it looks a bit weird, its from a proggramm called tibed. is the code correct if i want to build barrels along with the pill boxes and stuff when I build barracks? QUICK_EDIT

It lacks owner, adjacent, tech level and AIPlanningSide. It won't be a buildable building, I guess.
Other than that, I don't see any problems with it, except for bad format and lack of ThreatPosed= line, so you don't know what will be AI's behaviour to this building and if it will target it or not.
TibEd is a good tool to learn your limits, but if you are up to serious modding, you should consider notepad for the following reasons:
- Better for an appropriate code format and documentation.
- No program limitations.
- Compatible with Rock Patch (YR).
- If someone screws up, the blame is 100% yours and not from any 3rd party program.
- Ideal to work in a group. QUICK_EDIT

then change the barrels weapon into something more damaging, and a larger radius. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

no, thats ajacent. im talking about the blast radius, how far the explosion will reach. for example, a normal bomb has a small radius, while a nuke has a pretty ztyping large one. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
well i u need buildable barrels u need cloakable=yes which will only work with rockpatch 1.08 and then simply give it a primary suicide weapon _________________ QUICK_EDIT
